Spears Reportedly Attends AA Meeting

(CBS/AP)  Britney Spears reportedly left rehab again last night, but just for a little while.

The troubled pop star went to a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Santa Monica, the photo agency X17 reports on its Web site.

The Web site TMZ reported Thursday that Spears returned to the Promises treatment center after the meeting.

A smiling and cheerful Spears, who was wearing a wig, hat and green jacket, stepped into a white SUV with another young woman, reportedly her assistant. Spears was also sporting a silver ring on her ring finger that has sparked rumors that she and Federline are back together.

A source close to Federline tells Us Weekly that once Spears recovers, "Kevin wants to get back together with her. He is her biggest supporter." To see photos, click here.

Federline reportedly gave Spears an ultimatum before she checked into rehab for the third time last week.

A source told People magazine Wednesday that her ex was upset by the news that Spears had checked out of Promises in Malibu, so Federline and his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, scheduled an emergency hearing to get custody of their young sons.

In a little over a week, the singer reportedly checked in and out and in and out and then in again to rehab, shaved her head and got tiny lips tattooed on her wrist. And this flurry followed months of late-night partying in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

By entering Promises, Spears joined a long list of other celebrities who have trekked to the lush Malibu facility to overcome addictions. Promises alumni includes Ben Affleck, Charlie Sheen, Diana Ross and Matthew Perry. Treatment doesn't come cheap. A 30-day stay is $48,000.

Hope it does her some good, but I have some questions - You are in rehab to overcome an addiction, right? So, don't they have therapy sessions and stuff there - you have to leave the rehab to go to the meeting? Wouldn't it make more sense to have the meetings at the facility, so you are not exposed to the media waiting out there to take pictures and print this kind of story?

Looks like ol' Kev might have just some class left...but not ol' trailer trash.

Still, let's give her some rope and see if she will use it wisely, or just go and hang herself again.

AA....doesn't one of those As stand for ANONYMOUS? Only if you're not famous, I guess. Agree with bdfriedman0.

This coverage is sick. So Britney Spears went to an AA meeting. Does this need to be reported to the public? Are you going to show us photos from her next OB/GYN examination? For heaven's sake, CBS, act like the news organization of Walter Cronkite, and not of Maury Povich!! As a matter of common decency, GIVE THIS POOR WOMAN SOME PRIVACY!

Well thank GOD her husband and family stepped up to the plate lets see if she will get her act together? Husband should be commended too for at least helping her to take a look at herself! That is one thing that I will never understand about stars? Do what you want but when you have children you need to get your act together or not have any!!!!
