Britney Checks Into Rehab - Out a Day Later

TMZ has learned that while Britney Spears checked-in to rehab, she refused to stay and checked out -- less than twenty-four hours later!

As "EXTRA" first reported, the pop star entered a rehab facility two days ago. Now TMZ has learned that the center was located outside of the country, and she refused to stay. PEOPLE confirms that Brit was at Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab facility in Antigua.

TMZ is told that Britney checked in at the urging of friends and family, after being seen intoxicated in public places and was so "exhausted" on New Year's Eve she collapsed.

According to TMZ sources, Britney is on her way back to Los Angeles.

A rep for Britney could not immediately be reached for comment.

242. Britney needs help. If she is careful - who knows she might be the next Anna Nicole Smith. Hopefully her family will become the missing link she is desperately in need of.

243. Britney,
Grow up your children need you they didn't ask to come into this world you wanted them. Act like a real mother before you lose them. If you need attention that bad
go to group therapy. All eyes will be centered on you.Enough already stop being an embarrassment to your family.

246. #27- Jessica,honey. Obviously Brit isn't just going out and blowing off some steam after being home with her children all day. There is a difference between going out OCCASIONALLY and being at different clubs every night doing the things that she obviously felt that she needed rehab for. Brit is definitely out of control for whatever reason. When you are dingle, yes you can go out and do whatever you want ot becuase you are single, but when you bring kids into the picture then your priorities should change. When you are a mom, you should be the one tucking your little ones in most nights not various nannys so, I am not judging her, but stating the facts form my own personaly experience. And if you are doing the same things and feel it is okay then maybe youand Brit should go in rehab together.

247. GEE.....I CAN'T IMAGINE A BETTER WAY TO GET SOME OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE OFF ANNA AND ON TO BRITNEY!
WHAT A LOAD...DID SHE HAPPEN TO LET HER " HEAD SHAVE " BE FILMED AHH, BY ACCIDENT..HOW ABOUT PULLING THE SHADES !!!
THE PUBLIC IS CONSTANTLY BEING USED BY THE RICH AND FAMOUS AS IF THEY AS DAFT AS ALOT OF YOU ACT.
SHE'S STRESSED, SHE'S OVERWHELMED? YEAH, YEAH, IT COMES WITH THE PAYCHECK...AND AS FAR AS THE CRUD ABOUT THE TWO BABIES UNDER THE AGE OF TWO..WELL, IT MUST HELP A WEEE BIT THAT THEY HAVE ROUND THE CLOCK NANNY'S TO HANDLE SUCH THINGS FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS!!
HER POOR CHILDHOOD, THE RUSH TO GROW UP, THE YOUNG CHILDREN AT HOME, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH..MAYBE SHE SHOULD TRY DOING ALL THAT WITHOUT ALL THE MILLIONS AS A BUFFER!! SEE HOW SHE FAIRS THEN...IT'S CALLED THE REAL LIFE...
THE PUBLIC IS JUST BEING LED AROUND IN ANOTHER WHIRL OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS ....TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE. SOME MORE OF THE SAME RIDES WHICH ALLOW THEM THEIR BILLION DOLLAR MANSION WHILE YOU STRUGGLE TO MAKE YOUR RENT AND MORTGAGE PAYMENTS!
AT LEAST IT WAS SOMEONE WHO SHAVED HER HEAD AND CAN AFFORD THE 50,000 WIG FOR WHEN SHE NEXT MEETS THE REPORTERS WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR YOU TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO!!

248. She needs to grow up and think about the kids she wanted so badly. Shes making k fed look like a pretty good parent right now. Some one from childrens services should be taking a long hard look at the way shes behaving and think about the welfare of the kids since she doesnt seem to care

249. Its a good thing brits kids are being raised by the nannys instead of her. Maybe they have a chance at growing into decent human beings instead of trash like their mother. Where are brits parents in all of this? Dont they care that their grandchildren are being neglected by the one person who is supposed to be caring for them?

250. If i was her mother, i would put her in a car and drive her to rehab. She needs help. She should give Courtney love a call and see what to do next.

251. Why would Britney Spears ever leave the rehab? Wacko!!!

252. Her career got tarnished when she hooked up with scuzzbag KFed. Anyone in their right mind wouldnt hook up with a guy who leaves his pregnant girlfriend...gross. I think she wanted the family life & kids so desperately she took the first guy that was willing to try and settle down. If she expects to keep her kids she needs to get help ASAP or the custody battle will get nasty.

253. Britney needs to grw up and ast how old she is. a mature adult would not go out because she is drunk, forget about your kids and go get your head sheved off and two brand new tattoos. no wonder they say blondes are dumb. ( no affense ) but britney is a stupid blonde. she would fit in with all thos dumb blonde jokes!

254. I think this girl has a real problem and apparently thinks so herself or would not have checked into treatment. She needs to get her shit togehter before it really starts impacting her kids, if it hasn't already

255. Just because Britney Spears has lost ALL discretion or good judgment regarding her public actions, words, and behavior DOES NOT give anyone on here (or any other forum or media) the excuse to do the same as her while responding about or talking to others. Have some respect for others who post here (not to mention yourself), and don’t use obscene language & phrases, or embarrass others with cruel words and demeaning comments.
I am not nor have I ever been a fan of Britney, although I do believe she deserves to NOT be judged the way SOME (not all) on this board have done the past few days. Saying F-you and “her babies should be taken away from her” – seriously, do you think her babies are with her going in and out of rehab? - or wishing someone to disappear or die is SO wrong on every level. People are going to talk, but at least be semi-productive with your comments, especially since the chance of a celebrity reading these forums is extremely unlikely. Help others who actually read this board and could be going through the same problems as the celebrity (like dependency problems) or offer encouragement instead.
Hey, I understand you have free speech and will use it, but having anonymity seems today to mean forgetting that these are actual people being posted and responded about. You may not agree with their actions or the way they live their lives…I don’t either when it has come to Britney Spears, but it’s sick how much aggression is being taken out on someone you probably have never met. Honestly, ask yourself if you’d really want to be treated in such a negative way? Once, twice, you’d probably tell yourself you could just blow it off, but hundreds of times in a period of days? I really doubt it. I believe just about everyone on this board is more stable than what Britney Spears has shown the past couple of weeks, and it’s obvious there’s some type of problem. So please reconsider before publicly dissing someone unnecessarily while they’re down. And it’s not an excuse that America is just that way, or the media builds people up just to tear them down. Why not be the one person who decides NOT to do that to other people?
