America watched in horror as one of its brightest stars, Britney Spears, reached what may be her darkest moment. Taken by ambulance after a custody stand-off at her home, even her closest family and friends could only speculate about her behavior. Dr. Phil paid an exclusive visit to Britney Spears just moments before she left the hospital where she was admitted. He offers his impressions from their one-on-one. "My meeting with Britney and some of her family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention.” Dr. Phil continues, “She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her."

Tune in Tuesday for details of Dr. Phil’s encounter with the troubled pop star. If it's happening now, Dr. Phil's going to deal with it now!

I can't help but hear on the news (over and over) the problems of Britney Spears. She has been afforded some of the best help avaiable and turned her nose at it...help many people who really need will never see. The media portrays her as under all this stress as a single mom with 2 little boys. She doesn't know the first thing about stress...she has people to do everything for her! No, she is just spoiled and needs to grow up!!

Lets not help the media by supporting their desire to shred people to pieces

First of all, I have never submitted a comment to a blog site ever before but I felt I really had to comment. Also, I'm not a fan of Brittany Spears at all... I agree she does have talent, but would not run out to buy any of her CD's -- nor would I feal the overwhelming desire to shut the radio off when her songs are played -- I do believe she does have talent and is enertaining.

With that said.....

As I logged onto my AOL account, I saw in the headlines Dr. Phil Escorts Britney Out of Hospital. Intrigued, I scrolled thorough the 162 photos within the article aption ' Spears Circus'. I was disgusted! I'm not particuarly a Britten Spears fan, I don't approve of certain behaviours of her as a person, let alone a person of a public figure with great influences to a vulnerable age group.

I do feel very sorry for her, the pictures of all the media swarming around her during this event was pathetic. It is obvious this girl has self destructed in front of the world. Why do we as americans support the papers and magazine that extort this behavior. She is an adult with small children, and obviously is crying out for help. The constant harrassement of the media is not helping her. Just, Let her be! If all the people in the world took a stance and said, I'm no longer going to purchase/support any media products that is only out to make a profit by exploiting high profile peoples mistakes and crys for help, maybe we could all make the world just a little more peaceful.

I admire Dr. Phil and his work, I like his straight forward, right to the point message. I hope he can help Brittany. No one can deny she does have talent. I think as basic decent human beings, we owe it to one another to respect each other at all times, especially at times of difficulty.

What has become of the world that we enjoy to watch someone self destruct and ridicul them at their darkest hours.

I hope Dr. Phil can do something good, as he has done in the past with people in need of intervention and help and help Brittany get her life back on track. She has two small children that desperately need her to become more stable and grounded.

Dr Phil, for Brittany's sake and all the other media victimes, please help spread the message to society... we can do our part by not financially supporting any Media (magazine, newspaper, etc) who's sole purpose is to exploit people at any cost to make a profit!

Best of luck in your mission to help Brittany.

01/08 Britney Spears Exclusive

I feel so sad at the path Britney has taken.

Has anyone thought she maybe suffering from postnatal depression or psychosis??

Britney please get help! firstly for yourself and then for those lovely babies you have.

Some people have to hit rock bottom before seeking help and I hope this is her rock bottom so she will accept the help that is being offered to her. Maybe she needs to be commited under some law when the person hasn't got the insight to see they are in deep trouble??

01/08 Britney Spears Exclusive

With all due respect Dr. Phil, I don't think solving this with more publicity is the answer to resolving this serious issue. I am very grateful that you are trying to help her but wished you had chosen a safe and very private, enviornment where she could open up to you. I disagee with your choice to make this public but love what you do and your show.

Britney Spears

I think we all are taking for granted our personal privacy. I couldn't imagine not even being able to go to the restroom without someone taking a photo. She is constantly swarmed by the media. I haven't heard one positive comment about Britney in years. All of this negative attention has to be having an affect on her and how she is dealing with her life. It's a BIG life for someone her age in normal circumstances to handle. I hope she gets the help she needs in a quite and PRIVATE setting, where she can deal with her issues and not be judged by the tabloids. In years to come her children will be reading all of this negative information about their mother and father, I think the world needs to give this family a break and let them resolve this privately. We don't need to hear every detail of Britney's life as it unfolds. I hope Dr. Phil can help!!!

I truly believe that Britney needs help. I don't for a minute know what it is like to be her and I definately would not want to be her. I think she needs to get a restaining order on all the paparazzi. They are going to do to her the same thing they did to Princess Diana. She needs a true friend to talk to and I don't think she trust anyone right now. I believe that Doctor Phil could help her but I also think that is something that should be done privately not on the Dr. Phil show. She is only human and she deserves her privacy. We need to put in prospective all that she has gone through: marriage, 2 children, divorce and a custody battle not to mention being followed by wolves 24/7 . If her every move wasn't followed maybe she wouldn't be as bad as she is. Everyone who has no connection to her at all, if your not a family member or a friend, needs to back up and leave her alone. The scene of her leaving in the ambulance reminded me of "I am Legend" when Will Smith was being chased by the Zombie guys. That was pathetic. I hope that she gets the help she needs because when she is the real Britney she is amazing. Unfortunately as long as there are the wolves and heartless, money hungry jerks out there that have no life so they ruin everyone else's she will never get better. It should be illegal for anyone to get in someone's face and swarm cars like they do. Britney ran over a photographers foot if that was me it would definately be more than a foot that was hit. There should be some type of harassment law put on the paparazzi. I could go on forever about this but in conclusion leave her alone and let her get the help she needs.

Thank God someone is trying to help her!

As I watched the news this week I wondered when someone with some sense, that might actually care about this girl would intervene. I had thought about Dr. Phil and hoped he would try to contact her. We have many friends in recovery and it is very obvious that she is headed for serious trouble if not death. Unfortunately her fame and fortune might hinder her getting into recovery instead of helping her. I hope everyone sees that no one in their right mind would be behaving this way. I pray she does not end up another Anna Nicole! My heart goes out to her and her family and what they are going through. I will pray for someone to be able to get through to her before it is too late!

I totally disagree with you. Do you see the paparazzi following her every move. They swarm her like a bunch of vultures. If you don't think for a minute that that is stressful try to live like that. Until you have lived a day in her shoes you have absolutely no right to judge her. Maybe she doesn't realize she needs help. Perhaps in her eyes she believes she just needs to be left alone. You want to help her get rid of the paparazzi.

Please help this Girl!

In no way am I making excuses for her. I think that is a person that has gone into a deep depresion (maybe post partum) and no amount of money can take her out of it. At this moment in her life she needs the support of her family, and her mother probably needs to step up. Her mother apparently thought that she was mature enough to handle everything at a young age, and obviously this wasn't the case. When people are depressed, they make poor choices and don't have the stength or courage to fix their mistakes. Only with support and the proper guidance I see any future for this girl. I hope she can get the help that she needs, and not become another Ana Nicole. This is enough proof that money doesn't make people happy, love and understanding do!

Brittany

All the money in the world is not going to help Brittany. She needs medical & emotional help. How about post partum depression. Has any one ruled that out. I understand all the things she has done have been extreme,her ex Kevin and his attorney have added to it. Give teporary custody to someone beside Kevin and stop giving him the child support & spousal support and see what he does, maybe he will get a job, he is sucking Brittany dry.She is being destroyed. Dr Phil please try and help this young lady. My heart goes out to her & her children. grandma70
