After years of letting her behave like a total lunatic, Britney Spears’ family is reportedly ready to stage an intervention. Britney’s entire posse showed up at her Beverly Hills home last night after her barefoot crying jag, and according to TMZ, intend to find a “creative way” of forcing her to get help for her mental issues.
Sources told TMZ “if it happens,” it should happen this week. Last night, Brit’s mom, Lynne, her dad, Jamie, cousin Alli, as well as Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib all showed up at Britney’s house and were all there at the same time.
Brit’s mom and dad (and others) have known for months that a bipolar disorder — and not substance abuse — is at the root of her problems. They cannot involuntarily commit her (impossible under these circumstances) and Brit has refused to voluntarily enter a hospital or even undergo evaluation for the problem. But now the plan is underway.
Here’s what’s significant: Britney has not spoken to her mom for a while — no contact at all. Last night, Britney and Lynne (along with Sam) left the house at one point and went to the drugstore, so it seems they are now interacting.
There were signs last night that Britney didn’t feel as warm toward her dad, that she didn’t want anything to do with him.
This move has been in the planning stages for well over a month. It should begin to unfold IF Britney cooperates, and that is the wild card.
BTDub, this “creative” intervention is different from what her divorce lawyers pitched to Commissioner Scott Gordon last week. They are not involved in this one.
Seriously, what is with her obsession with drugstores?

Not gonna work. Unfortunately it is going to take her seriously injuring herself and someone else, and her being involuntarily committed for an extended period for her to get help. And even then, the moment she’s out she’ll be back to this shit again.

she might be bi-polar, but it’s stupid to say that substance abuse is not at the root of her problems. many mental disorders that present themselves in early adult hood are triggered by the use of drugs and booze. if you ask me they go hand in hand. she needs to address both issues.

Drugstores: She’s a common redneck from a common redneck town where the kiddos have nothing better to do but hang out at any 24hr business; usually Walmart. I’m sure she’s realized she’s in Los Angeles now and would probably get with the REAL nightlife if she had any friends or semblance of dignity.

my guess is she hangs out at the drugstore to pick up her many prescription meds she’s most likely abusing.

If she’s really got bipolar disorder I sincerely hope she gets some help, pronto.

I’m almost positive that it’s not simply bi-polar disorder. That girl is stupid as fuck and she doesn’t give a shit what people see her do. She thinks she can get away with it because she’s famous. I know a LOT of people that have bi-polar, manic issues and one of them that refuses medication and she’s nowhere NEAR as fucked up as Brit. Brit craves the attention and that’s all there is to it.

I’d guess that she’s buying some anti-fungal meds for her poor feet. They look OK in these pics, but you can bet that wearing those sweaty fuckin’ boots all the time can’t be good. THAT’S why she was barefoot and crying, IMO, her feet are just sore…Seriously, I believe it is bi-polar, and she’s obviously manic now. What’s she gonna do when the depression takes over? This is one situation where I’m glad her shit is all over the place. If she tried to hurt herself *maybe* one of those a-hole paparazzi would intervene….Maybe.
