"I have four hit albums!"

If you live in Southern California take my advice and look both ways before crossing any intersections--even on green lights. Britney Spears is on the loose. The troubled star left Cedars-Sinai early Saturday after an "explosive morning" in which she basically freaked the fuck out. According to reports, Britney screamed at staff, pulled out her IV, and demanded to leave. It was thought that Cedars would hold Britney the full 72 hours but they let her go after just a day and a half. So where is she now? Norm Clark of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says:

A retired newspaper executive from Denver told Vegas Confidential that Spears was celebrating her release with a mimosa champagne drink [champagne and orange juice] during breakfast at the Daily Grill on El Paseo [in Palm Desert, California]. The restaurant manager confirmed to Vegas Confidential it was Spears.

During breakfast, she went to the restroom with her champagne flute, while her friend stood outside the door. After the 11 a.m. breakfast, she walked down the street with her friend, who had black spiked hair. No paparazzi were in sight, suggesting she had left the hospital without being detected. (Source)

Just what the doctor ordered, a little Vitamin C . . . hampagne. At least the voices in her head told her to mix it with something healthy like orange juice. That's kind of a positive step.
