Britney Spears leave Malibu rehabilitation center after
completing treatment program.
March 22, 2007
LOS ANGELES,
CALIFORNIA - After nearly a month of seclusion in a luxurious
rehabilitation center, Britney Spears has moved on.
The pop star checked out of Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug
Rehab Treatment Facility "after successfully completing their
program," Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement
released by Jive Records late Tuesday.
He asked that Spears' privacy be respected.
Spears, 25, entered the facility Feb. 22 after a bout of bizarre
behavior that included shaving her head, getting tiny lips
tattooed on her wrist and beating a car with an umbrella. Photos
of the incidents were beamed worldwide.
Spears' activities have been steady fodder for weekly magazines
and entertainment Web sites since she filed for divorce from
aspiring rapper Kevin Federline in November, citing
irreconcilable differences.
Under a temporary agreement, the two have joint custody of their
sons, Jayden James, 6 months, and Sean Preston, 18 months.
Federline and the children reportedly visited Spears during her
treatment.
Federline, who released his debut album in November, was
celebrating his 29th birthday with his family Wednesday and then
traveling to Las Vegas for a party Saturday at Pure Nightclub,
said Federline's publicist, Marilyn Lopez. He originally had
made plans for another bash Wednesday night in West Hollywood,
but canceled that event.
"He just wanted to have one party instead of two and wanted to
spend his actual birthday ... with his family," Lopez said.
She declined to say if Federline was planning to see Spears on
Wednesday.
Spears hasn't disclosed why she sought treatment at Promises,
which offers detox, counseling and 12-step programs. A 30-day
stay at the Mediterranean-style villa tucked in the Santa Monica
Mountains costs $48,000.
With her stay there, Spears joined a long list of celebrities
who have trekked to the facility to overcome addictions.
Promises alumni include Ben Affleck, Charlie Sheen, Diana Ross
and Matthew Perry. |
