Extra reports that Britney Spears is in rehab, thus crystallizing it as the hottest new Hollywood move since sex tapes.

Us Weekly senior editor Albert Lee tells Extra he saw it coming. Among other clear indicators (partying with Paris, boozing it up for the cameras, then suddenly going MIA from the paparazzi), "She was driving with Jayden James, her youngest son, with the car seat again facing forward," Lee says.

Obviously, he's forgetting she's country.
