Not so much now, though, because....
if Britney Spears is going to be tied to a bed with leather straps, it's because Britney's bipolar disorder has got so out of hand that she's a danger to herself and others.
It's been confirmed that Britney Spears will spend the next two weeks in her padded room at the UCLA Medical Centre. And as well as the leather restraints, there's also a chance that Britney Spears could be force-fed medication if she's not cooperative. It's just like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, only a version that everyone got sick of about two minutes in after seeing Jack Nicholson get out of a car with no knickers on for the tenth time.
As is the case every couple of days now, Britney Spears' life has hit a brand-new low. After a week that saw her get called mentally ill on TV, have a fight with her manager in public, get hauled off to hospital on a psychiatrist's orders and then get officially diagnosed as Gravely Disabled, the inevitable has happened.
Paperwork has been signed to keep Britney Spears in the Stewart & Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA for another 14 days. Initially Britney was only due to spend 72 hours under medical care, but her stay has been elongated under a 5250 order because of the threat that Britney Spears apparently poses to herself and others.
And, as People reports, it's not going to be a particularly pretty stay:
"It is a terrible situation," says a source close to the Spears family. "Britney is in a padded room. Her family is so worried about her." Terry K. Wasserman, a veteran L.A. attorney specializing in mental health cases (who’s not involved in the Spears matter), explains that if a patient becomes combative, he or she "could be placed in a 'quiet room,' some of which are padded." Wasserman adds: "Another possibility is being confined to a bed by leather restraints. In extreme, life-threatening situations – when the patient is a threat to oneself or medical staff – a psychiatrist can inject a person with psychotropic medication."
It's thought that Britney Spears is attempting to get the order overturned legally, but let's just assume that Britney Spears is going to stay in hospital for a fortnight. Hopefully this time alone will mean that the storm that constantly thunders around her will die down and she'll have a proper chance for reflection. Not only that, but it'll mean that we all get a break from hearing about Britney every five or six seconds too - and that's perfect, right?
Wrong! Because even though Britney Spears might be locked away in a padded room, her affairs continue to be as heroically screwed up as ever. For example, Britney Spears' father Jamie has been named as co-conservator of her estate, but Britney isn't happy about that because she reportedly 'feels hatred' towards him, and has sent her lawyers to court today to try and overturn the ruling.
And if that's not enough, there's also another custody hearing today to deal with. And maybe, just maybe, Britney Spears could be getting her kids back. Sure, she's medically disabled and under lock and key in a padded room at a psychiatric hospital, but let's not forget that the other alternative is for the kids to stay with Kevin Federline some more. That's Kevin Federline. Source.
