Britney Spears Has Left the Building - the Rehab Building, that Is!

According to her manager, she completed the program at Promises Treatment Center. But wasn't the program suppose to last 30 days? She hasn't even been in that long!

Larry Rudolph, Britney Spears' manager, issued a statement:

"Britney Spears has been released by the Promises Malibu Treatment Center after successfully completing their program. We ask that the media respects her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Just yesterday, news broke about Britney Spears planning on leaving rehab early in order to attend her ex-husband's birthday party (see "Britney Spears Planning on Leaving Rehab Soon to Party; Will Bring New Lover"), and now, it looks like she did exactly as she had planned.

In honor of her departure (regardless of being released or simply ditching the program to party), let's take a look back at the events that lead to her admission and the events that took place while she was inside.

Where shall we begin?

After a quickie marriage to Jason Alexander and a even faster annulment (only 55 hours after saying 'I Do'), the world watched as she proclaimed that she found true love in backup dancer Kevin Federline.

She displayed her life to the world by filming the short-lived television show, 'Chaotic', which caused critics to think of Britney as nothing more than a "sex-crazed bimbo".

Soon after, Britney married Kevin in a surprise ceremony. A little later, Britney was expecting her first child. She gave birth in September to Sean Preston, and was overjoyed. She longed for motherhood her entire life.

About three months later, Britney found herself pregnant again. Of course, this caused emotional problems since she had not healed fully from being pregnant with Sean Preston. Maybe this is where the problems really began, considering the amount of hormones surging through her body.

Just a few days shy of Sean Preston's first birthday, Britney gave birth to another son. His name remained a mystery until it was finally released. Jayden James was the newest addition to the Federline household.

Maybe it was the hormones from being pregnant for 18 out of 21 months - or maybe it was something else. Either way, Spears filed for divorce shortly after Jayden's birth and set out to 'reinvent' herself.

Between flashing her crotch to the media and partying with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears never was able to grasp reality. She was rarely seen with her children.

The days leading up to her rehab admission is still something her fans will not forget. The vision of her shaving her hair completely off and then beating a parked car with a umbrella haunts us all.

She entered rehab after shaving her head .. but then left.

She entered rehab again after beating the parked car .. but like before, she left.

Finally, with the threats from Kevin regarding their children looming over her head, she entered rehab and stayed.

Instead of soaking in the treatment, she lashed out at the staff and even attempted suicide - not to mention that she declared that she found true love.

That being said, we hope Britney is back to her 'normal' self and is ready to take care of the two precious people needing her - her children.

Good Luck!
