Britney Spears returns to rehab

Troubled pop star Britney Spears has returned to rehab.

The 'Toxic' star's manager Larry Rudolph has confirmed that the 25-year-old has checked herself into a rehabilitation clinic, reported to be the Promises Treatment Centre in Malibu, California.

Rudolph said: "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Spears reportedly entered a rehabilitation clinic in Antigua last week before checking herself out after just 24 hours.

She hit the headlines on Friday night when she shaved off all her hair in front of photographers at
Esther's Hair Salon in Tarzana, California.
