Troubled Britney Spears has been put in a padded room at a mental hospital. Doctors say she must stay in the unit for 14 more days.

The star, 26, was sent to UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric ward hospital in LA after a three-day meltdown. Yesterday, her paparazzi boyfriend Adnam Ghalib attempted to visit her but was denied by Britney’s mum Lynne. Clutching a get-well card and some flowers, Adnam was refused entry into the building.

Meanwhile, Britney “hit the roof” when her father Jamie, with whom she has been feuding for years, was appointed guardian of all her financial, legal and medical affairs while she is in hospital. The singer wants her lawyers to get the decision reversed.

But after a court hearing yesterday, Jamie has been allowed to continue in his role, after arguing his case with his representative Jeryll Cohen.
