Britney’s doctor has decided to extend her stay to 14 days — a sign that there’s a serious problem. She’s also been placed in a padded cell, usually done if a patient has become violent or can pose a danger to herself or others.

So what’s life like for Brit?  She’s not completely under lock and chain — she can use her own clothes, receive visitors, make calls on the public phones.

But it’s not the life she used to have…and she’s not the Brit we used to know. What a sad, sad turn of affairs for this pop star. Hopefully, the only way to go is up.
