After a marathon intervention session with her mother, sister and ex-husband, Britney Spears appears to be back to her usual, unusual behavior. Around 7pm PT on Saturday, the pop star stormed out of her Malibu home, where she had been locked in conversation with her family since the early morning hours, and sped off once more in her white convertible with a parade of more than three dozen photographers trailing her.

Her first destination was the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica - though it was more of a drive-by than a pit stop, as Britney only pulled into the valet area, had a brief discussion with a parking attendant and then got back on the road; all without leaving the car.
