Britney Spears Gets A Family Intervention

The Spears family is finally trying to jump in and save Britney before it's too late. Momma Lynne Spears showed up to Britney's yesterday along with her father Jamie to try to talk Britney into getting some kind of treatment. Maybe they should work on talking her into a shower first.

Brit's mom, Lynne, her dad, Jamie, cousin Alli, as well as Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib all showed up at Britney's house and were all there at the same time. Brit's mom and dad (and others) have known for months that a bipolar disorder -- and not substance abuse -- is at the root of her problems. They cannot involuntarily commit her (impossible under these circumstances) and Brit has refused to voluntarily enter a hospital or even undergo evaluation for the problem. But now the plan is underway.

Here's what's significant: Britney has not spoken to her mom for a while -- no contact at all. Last night, Britney and Lynne (along with Sam) left the house at one point and went to the drugstore, so it seems they are now interacting. There were signs last night that Britney didn't feel as warm toward her dad, that she didn't want anything to do with him. This move has been in the planning stages for well over a month. It should begin to unfold IF Britney cooperates, and that is the wild card.
