Britney Spears Out Of Rehab

Britney Spears is done with rehab. Unfortunately the press is still all over the subject. Her lawyers are working very hard to try and keep her out of the media’s eyes. They got a British court to bar the media there from publishing stories that have supposedly “insider” information about her month long stay at the California treatment center.
This was done because they are trying to stop the unidentified persons who have been making “false allegations” about Britney Spears to the media. So far her lawyers have not tried doing this with the media in the United States. According to Sandra Baron, the executive director of the New York-based Media Law Resource Center, courts just don’t pull the prior restraint card on publications. She said “it is virtually unheard of, they don’t do it in national security cases, and they certainly wouldn’t do it in privacy cases.”
It has been even harder for Britney Spears to get any privacy since her break down last month. She has been followed to the hair dresser where they saw her shave her head, then to the tattoo parlor where she got her tattoo, and then even to Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings.
News about her diva like behavior while she was in the Promises rehab center was leaked to magazines like Star and Us Weekly.
There is also talk that Britney’s lawyers in the U.K. intend to challenge the false allegations that have already been published. We don’t know specifically which of the reported stories the Britney Spears’ people are upset about.
Britney Spears, now 25 years old, checked out of Promises on Tuesday. She never actually said why she checked in in the first place.
