Britney Spears Hits the Beverly Hills Hotel

Back on the scene after being released from the UCLA psych ward earlier today, Britney Spears has left her house and checked into the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Followed to the hotel by a convoy of 20+ paparazzi, Spears was “promptly escorted inside the hotel with help of local police and, according to ExtraTV, she even came face to face with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife Maria Shriver.” Also of note, Britney has a new chauffeur - Lindsay Lohan’s former bodyguard, who just so happens to be an ex-Israeli Army soldier.

According to insiders, “It’s understood Spears’ parents, who have taken control of her legal, financial and security affairs, hired the new minder.”
