LOS ANGELES:

Britney Spears, who checked herself into Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre clinic in Antigua last week and stayed only for 24 hours, is back in rehab. She decided to go to a rehab clinic after family members pressed her to do so. She has chec-ked herself into an inpatient facility in Los Angeles, reports www.hollywood.tv.

The singer’s representative said, “Spears has voluntarily checked herself into a rehab facility today .”

There may be one more reason Spears hasn’t been herself lately. Spears’ aunt Wanda Bridges said she had been greatly saddened by the death of her aunt Sandra Bridges Covington with whom she was very close.

Since filing for divorce in November last, Spears has drawn criticism for her drinking, partying and sloppy appearance — including a public display of her private parts and shaving off her long locks.
