Britney finally had the meltdown we all knew was coming. After refusing to hand over her kids to K-Fed's bodyguards and locking herself in a room with Jayden James, authorities were called to the scene, where they discovered she was under the influence of an "unknown substance." She was then rushed to the hospital.

• Let's start with the good news: Britney is on 72-hour mental lockdown, so she is finally getting the care she needs, and her boys are home safe with their dad.

• The bad news: No one in the hospital wanted to sit with her, and K-Fed's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan is in court right now trying to strip Britney of her visitation rights.

• Brit fans really don't quit. Moments after hearing the news, a couple of Britney's most dedicated fans started a candlelight vigil outside Cedars-Sinai. Perhaps they should be on lockdown, too.
