Brit’s hospital dash just toothache - Mar 27 2007
Noticeably absent from K-Fed’s Las Vegas birthday celebrations, Britney headed to hospital instead.

But her rep has said that the singer was suffering from nothing more serious than a toothache.

Britney was spotted arriving in an Escalade at the Los Angeles Century City Hospital on Sunday at about 5.15pm, after reportedly attending a Sunday morning church service in Bel Air and meeting her Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor for lunch earlier in the day.

While the troubled star remained inside the hospital, police were forced to patrol the outside in a bid to keep the growing number of paparazzi under control.

The photographers were out in force, following mistaken reports that the recently-rehabbed 25-year-old had been rushed into the emergency room.

But Britney’s manager Larry Rudolph set the record straight, telling thatotherblog.com: "They’re all wrong, she just went to the dentist. She had a toothache, I have no more details."

UK court bans Britney rehab leaks - Mar 23 2007
Lawyers for Britney Spears today obtained an emergency injunction in the High Court in London over leaked information about her time in rehab.

The legal move was announced by leading media solicitors, Schillings.

An order was granted by Mr Justice Gray aimed at preventing "further disclosures invading her privacy".

In a statement, Schillings said: "We can confirm that an emergency injunction was obtained in London’s High Court this afternoon as ordered by Mr Justice Gray on behalf of Britney Spears to restrain the person or persons, known as ’John Doe’, who has/have been leaking information about Ms Spears’ time in a rehabilitation clinic from further disclosures invading her privacy.

"This injunction will now be served on the UK media so as to assist them in not making the mistake of carrying such further disclosures if approached by this person or his/her agent.

"Ms Spears reserves the right and intends to challenge false allegations which have already been published about her time in rehabilitation and which are the subject of ongoing legal complaint."

They added: "Applications are pending in London’s High Court to seek an order requiring certain UK media organisations to disclose their respective sources so that John Doe can be identified and action can be taken against him/her."
