An insider told the magazine that doctors are worried: "They’re in shock at what bad shape she’s in."

"She’s angry at her family and her manager for pressuring her to enter the program. She feels she was ambushed."
Britney’s representatives were unavailable for comment.
Britney suicide watch claims ’untrue’ - Feb 26 2007
Britney Spears’ manager has denied reports claiming that the troubled pop princess is on suicide watch.
Larry Rudolph said the stories were "absolutely untrue".
The singer went into rehab for the third time in a week on Wednesday night, after prompting concern about her health with her erratic behaviour - which included shaving off her hair.
Estranged husband Kevin Federline has apparently visited her at the luxurious Promises facility in Malibu.
Speaking to entertainment news show Extra, Mr Rudolph said of the suicide watch claims: "The story is absolutely untrue.
"She is in rehab, and it is very disappointing that various media outlets are running these false stories about her, as Britney tries to get better."
K-Fed, 28, and Britney, 25, are involved in a custody battle over their two young sons, but People reported that the wannabe rapper had been to see her as she started a treatment programme.
"He cares a lot about her," a source told the magazine.
Last week Britney’s father, Jamie, said his daughter was a "sick little girl".
"We’re just trying to take care of her," he told Fox News.
Rehab ’could help’ Brit keep custody - Feb 23 2007
Britney Spears’ decision to check into rehab could help her in the custody dispute over her two young children, according to lawyers.
When the pop princess checked into Promises in Malibu yesterday, it was said to be the third time in a week she has checked into a rehab centre.
Britney and her estranged husband Kevin Federline are fighting for custody of their two sons.
"It actually may reflect well on her that she’s now gone back, if she stays and sees herself through the programme," said Jason Adess, a family law attorney in Chicago.
"That way she can present to the court that she has an issue, she has acknowledged the issue, she has gotten help and now she is able to resume primary custody of the children."
Brit’s manager, Larry Rudolph, confirmed in an email to the Associated Press yesterday that the star was in the Malibu centre.
The 25-year-old pop star reportedly first checked into Promises on Tuesday, then left on Wednesday morning.
Late last week she reportedly checked into a rehab centre in the Caribbean, only to leave the next day.

"Sometimes people come back, but it doesn’t look good."
On Tuesday her manager Larry Rudolph said Britney had gone into rehab voluntarily.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
