Spears Back in Rehab

Britney Spears has entered rehab for the second time within a week. The 25-year-old pop star checked herself in to an in-patient facility on Tuesday. Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement, "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Us Weekly is reporting that the singer went to dinner with her father, Jamie Spears, on Sunday where he pleaded with her to seek help. The magazine's source also said that the death of her aunt last month may have incited her breakdown.

Last Thursday, Spears sought treatment at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre in Antigua where she stood for only twenty-four hours. The following day, rumors of an emotional collapse flew when she got two tattoos and then shaved her head.
