Britney Spears was rushed to hospital last night after collapsing from suspected drug abuse while caring for her children .

Police were called to Britney's Beverly Hills home at 8pm after the 25-year-old star refused to return her sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James, to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Officers found Britney to be "under the influence of an unknown substance", and she was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in an ambulance where she is reportedly undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.

Los Angeles Police Department officer Jason Lee said: "While officers were on the scene, they observed Ms. Spears under the influence of an unknown substance. She is now being taken in for an evaluation."

Several police officers, fire engines, two ambulances and a police helicopter all appeared at the tumultuous scene.

An insider at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center tells Usmagazine that nobody wanted to be Britney Spears’ monitor last night.

Spears was rushed to the hospital around 11 p.m. and was designated a "special needs" patient, meaning "they have either overdosed or tried to commit suicide,” the source says. (See her being wheeled on a stretcher here.)

When Britney arrived at the medical centre, she stuck two fingers up at waiting paparazzi but smiled as she was wheeled out of the ambulance.

One onlooker said: "Britney looked completely out of it, but still managed to flip off the photographers and smiled at the same time. She is just unbelievable."

Jayden was also taken to the hospital by ambulance, although it is not clear if he needed medical treatment.

Sean was driven to Cedars-Sinai behind the two ambulances.

Kevin arrived at the hospital at 12:20 am this morning to see his ex-wife.

Britney's father Jamie entered the hospital at 1:15am, despite the pair not having been seen together since spring last year.

OK! magazine's timeline:

7 p.m.: K-Fed's security team arrives to pick up boys Sean Preston and Jayden James and bring them back to their father's house. When there is a delay in releasing the boys, Britney's assistant, Carla, makes excuses for the pop star. However, it soon becomes clear that there is a problem.

At some point, 2-year-old Sean Preston is removed from the house, leaving only little Jayden inside with his mother.

8 p.m.
: The police are notified of a custodial situation at Britney's house and officers are dispatched to The Summit. But when they arrive, they find that the court-appointed monitor, who has been locked out of the house, is not in possession of the paperwork required to allow them to enter Britney's house.

9:20 p.m.: K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan arrives at The Summit with the required paperwork. He and five police cars enter the gated community and drive up to Britney's house.

10:30 p.m.: More than a dozen police officers, as well as two ambulances and a handful of fire rescue trucks are now on the scene. Sometime before 11 p.m., Britney's cousin Alli and Brit's assistant Carla leave the house, leaving Brit alone with Jayden James.

11:45 p.m.: Britney is taken out of her home strapped to a gurney and placed into an ambulance, which is escorted by 13 police cars with sirens blaring to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, arriving at approximately 12:30 a.m. Jayden is brought to the hospital in a separate vehicle.

I feel so sorry for Britney’s neighbors !  They live in an expensive gated community and probably thought when they bought their homes it would be peaceful and elegant, and then the queen of trailer trash moves in and it’s non stop drama and paparazzi traffic and flashbulbs !  Amazing.  No wonder that one women screamed at her at a restaurant to move elsewhere, “Nobody wants you here !”, or something like that.

Britney’s eyes look totally glazed over.  I have a hard time believing that the drug tests came back negative.

Britney needs HELP and she’s getting pushed around from all sides.  What I see in the pictures is Britney having a nervous breakdown and the media is “pouncing” on her like is not even human.  If a tradegy occurs, I blame the PAPARAZZI.  BTW, Kevin is a JACKASS.  He’s laughing all the way to the bank.  Believe that.

Wow…I would be a complete hot mess if that followed me around everywhere too.  Was it completely necessary for the ambulance to announce themselves like that for a non life threatning event?

celeb-observer…you are right! i’d hate to pay all that money for some privacy and quiet and wind up with all that shit going on ext door b/c the rich moron living there can’t get head out of her ass!

time to call the HOA and make her move out.

britney wouldn’t be so fucked up if she got a damn shrink and LISTENED to someone for once…just b/c she’s rich doesn’t mean she’s smart or knows what to do. it’s obvious from the counrt shit she doesn’t know her ass from a whole in the ground or appreciate the seriousness of the situation. she thinks she can just throw some money at it and make it all go away and she can do whatever she wants. fuck her, throw her in a mental hospital until she wises up. and put her assets in a trust for her kids.

Jesus you can’t even get medical attention without a damn camera in your face. That is ridiculous and i don’t see why the police can’t classify that as disturbing the peace or interfering with medical staff because that is a huge distraction. She seriously should go to alaska somewhere and take some time off.

There are ways for stars to not have this mess around them.  Those are the ones who choose to live a little more normal life.  With the young ones in the news everyday you almost get the feeling it is done on purpose.  There are other people out there that are way more famous than her but you don’t see them like that.  Or maybe it is who you surround yourself with.  A good publicist and people who make sure you know the consequences of your actions.  Just a thought.
