The pop singer (26) was escorted from her home overlooking Beverly Hills in one of three ambulances that was part of a convoy of nine police vehicles and a handful of other cars.

Spears was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for an evaluation. One of her two sons was also at the hospital.

Spears reportedly refused to turn over her sons Sean Preston (2), and Jayden James (1), to the bodyguard of ex-husband, Kevin Federline, as planned last night.
