It seems like 2008 was the year of the psychiatric breakdown. After the Britney debacle the other night, there are now reports that claim that Justin Chambers (the Grey’s Anatomy bad boooy) has just been released from the UCLA Medical Center after checking in for “severe exhaustion.”

Whatever that means.

The good news is; Chambers did not need to be strapped to the gurney for his hospital visit. Due to a sleeping disorder, Karev entered the hospital voluntarily to get treatment. I am not quite sure how a man with five (yes, FIVE) children has any trouble falling asleep at night, but what do I know? I could fall asleep on the treadmill if I was on there long enough….or I was listening to Enya.

Britney, on the other hand, has been classified as “Gravely Disabled” by the staff at the very same hospital. (Looks like Hotel Marmont is out as the place to see and be seen be these days. Perhaps Ms. Lohan will be booking a room here soon?) What does that mean, exactly? It means that the lovely Ms. Spears is unable to take care of basic needs, “such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter.”

I find that diagnosis a little extreme. I mean, Britney has been doing a wonderful job taking care of her basic needs. She has been spotted shopping at Hustler numerous times (clothing), sleeping with random men in hotels all around California (shelter) and sucking down the Starbucks Fraps (food) for a year now. How can anyone, especially a medical professional, see anything wrong with that?

Let’s just hope that Britney’s recovery can be as speedy and successful as Karev’s. The paparazzi are twiddling their thumbs with nothing to do and it is about time she came out of her trance and realized how horrific those mid-calf boots really are.
