Britney: Patient, Ballet Star

Britney remains in hospital - her second visit in less than a month.

It follows new concerns for her health - she's reportedly been sectioned under Mental Health laws – it’s now up to a team of professional caregivers to reverse her seemingly endless downward spiral.

Under US law, doctors may keep an individual under round-the-clock observation but may not medicate the person without his or her permission unless there appears to be grave danger.

Speaking briefly to journalists yesterday, Britney’s mum said she was: “Doing okay.”

Meanwhile, one of Britain's leading modern dance companies - The Rambert - have created Britney: The Ballet.

They’ve set the 26-year-old's battles to music and dance in an interpretation called Meltdown that takes in her hounding by paparazzi photographers and when she shaved off her hair in a tattoo parlour.

Choreographer Hubert Essakow said: "I thought this was a really modern day tragedy, this reversal of fortune. I saw somebody who had such great hope and was adored by millions of people then goes down the wrong route."

The show will be performed Friday as part of the Rambert's new season at London's Southbank Centre.
