The trainwreck continues as Britney is escorted by a police motorcade the length of a football field to a Los Angeles hospital early Thursday to get her some help.

CNN reports:

This is the second hospital visit for Spears this month, coming after her psychologist called the police, according to the Los Angeles Times.

She was removed from her home for a “mental evaluation hold,” according to the L.A. Times.

The North Hollywood Police Department sent about eight officers to Spears’ hilltop house in Studio City, California, about 12:55 a.m. Thursday, according to the law enforcement official, who asked not to be identified because he’s not authorized to comment publicly.

The group at Spears’ house included plainclothes officers, motorcycle police, ambulance crews and some police “brass,” the official said.

It took the better part of the day to arrange the transport plan, the officer said.

This is amazing. This means she either tried to harm herself or someone else, OR she talked about it in both the psychiatrist’s office and today.

Andrew Blankstein, a Los Angeles Times reporter who was at the scene of Thursday’s incident, told CNN that a police convoy, stretching the length of a football field, accompanied the ambulance as it drove down Coldwater Canyon Boulevard — in part to keep the paparazzi from getting too close.

Spears was whisked out a side entrance to her house.

“You couldn’t really see what was going on [when officers first swept into the residence] but on the police radio, there was some reference to ‘The package is on the way out,’ ‘We’re leaving now. Go, go, go,’” Blankstein said.

A few hours earlier, two officers were sent to investigate a report of a large group gathered outside the singer’s home, said David Grimes, watch commander for the west division of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The two officers found 20 to 25 people near the house around 11 p.m. Wednesday and they asked them to leave, he said.

You know, this could have easily have been another overdose.

Do you think it would have been as tragic as Heath Ledger’s, or has the surprise worn off and now it’s simply expected?
