BRITNEY Spears has plunged into a full-blown health crisis after checking herself into rehab just weeks following a dramatic DUI arrest.
The pop icon was hauled in on March 4 for swerving dangerously on Ventura roads, cops say she was caught driving under the influence of a cocktail of alcohol and drugs.
Sources reveal the shocking arrest was a brutal wake-up call for the 44-year-old singer, who was “incredibly emotional” and “felt ashamed and embarrassed” over the incident.

Her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, have been her rock through the turmoil, supporting her every step of the way.

The DUI case now sits with Ventura prosecutors as Britney faces a May 4 court date that could escalate her troubles.
