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.

32. Re:the photos...give me a break. Some are bad, but in a lot of them she looks adorable. Why are people so mean to her?

Re: rehab....maybe it's all just gotten to be too much for her. I feel really bad for her and i hope that she can find her way to a happy life.

34. A celebrity checked into rehab to just mislead the public into believing that they were actually doing something about their drug problem, yet never intended to stay? I'm shocked and outraged.

35. She just needed rehab on her resume so she could be in Hollywood fashion. Or she had the date wrong on the invitation from Paris for the party there.

38. Brittany gets a bad rep, because she goes out and she's a single mom. Well I am a single mom and I go out to. There is nothing wrong with that. She is young and tried to settle down when she wasn't ready. And everyone needs to realize you only see pictures of her when she is out, but what about the other 20 some hours of the day, nobody ever thinks of that. You can be a good parent and have time to live yourself. What about the other celebs that have kids and are off shooting their films? Do you think half the celebs really raise their kids or do they leave them with the nanny as well. I am sure the press is making it out to be way more than it is just like they always do. I am not a fan of Brittany's never have been but I hate seeing her trashed because she is enjoying life and has the money to do it. Her whole marriage Kevin was out partying while she took care of the kids give her a break for once. Unless you have walked a day in her shoes don't judge her.

39. The Media killed Anna Nichole Smith, who never did anything to anyone except be annoying.
They are going to kill this chick too, for the same offense.

40. I hope Britney's life gets worse and worse. I really do.

41. What I think happened was that she didn't want to get rid of K-Fed, but she listened to everyone anyway, and now she's miserable without him. She's on this self-destructive path because she's so miserable. I'm not going to judge whether Kevin was good for her or not, but we didn't see this side of Britney when she was with Kevin. I don't know. She's just a mess and she needs help. Sad, very sad.

43. Every day I turn more and more to Kevin being the better alternative for those two children.

44. She was pissed that it was a non-smoking facility.

45. I feel sorry for the poor kids. She's got two nice babies and they probably don't even know who the heck she is! She's going to lose those kids if she keeps this partying up!

She'd better check-in again to another rehab, ASAP! If not, K-Fed's going to get the kids permanently!
