Daniel Baldwin: Britney Doing "Great" in Rehab
Sunday February 25, 2007

Britney Spears seems “a little fearful” but is “doing the do,” according to Spears' rehab compatriot Daniel Baldwin, 46, who says he’s 97 days sober and recently ran into the pop princess in Malibu.

“I told her if she needed anything or if she wanted me to bring anything to her where she’s at, I’d be happy to come see her,” Baldwin told Usmagazine.com Sunday at the "Night of 100 Stars" pre-Oscar party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“She’s doing great; she looks great,” added Baldwin, saying he gave Brit his number after running into her two days ago in Malibu.

“She seemed like she was a little fearful,” he continued. “I mean, she’s a young girl – I have kids older than her. I think that she knows that she needs some help, and God bless her. All we can do is pray. That’s what I want people to do: Pray for her.”

Baldwin, who was arrested in April on charges of being under the influence and carrying cocaine paraphernalia, said he left Brit with simple advice: “Don’t drink. Don’t use.”

“It’s really simple,” he said. “One thing I mentioned to her is if you took a look at how much effort you put into going out – at least for me – going out and using and doing the things we do, compared to how much effort you need to do to stay sober, it’s infinitesimal on a comparison basis.”

We hope Britney understands what that means, because we don’t.

Another thing we don't understand: Isn't it a violation of the Anonymous part AA to blab about Brit's mental well-being in rehab?

Going into rehab and finishing the program is important. However, If you don't go into a 12 step program your chances of drinking and drugging again is almost assured. Recovery is a life long process.

I dont get you people!! Why are you guys so blind? She has done nothing but negative things! She lies, cheats, drinks untill passes out, does a huge amount of illegal drugs, is selfish and only thinks about herself. AM I WRONG?? Selfish as in doing all this when she has little kids! THAT IS SELFISH AND VERY, VERY WRONG! How can any of you say you think she is a good person???????????? You need to see whats wrong with yourselves first.

11:50 PM Cw Says:

I think its amazing how people are so quick to judge her when their own families are probably just as messed up. I don't want to take up for her because she has made bad choices but seriously? Get a life. No one needs to sit here and judge someone when they only know what the media tells them. I'm sorry but if you don't know her personally you don't have the right to open your mouth about anything.

11:48 AM THE RIGHT TO ROCK Says:

Your precious Britney is the one who is sick. If you want sick, you can't catch fish that was caught in contaminated waters. Also if you swim in a lake that is polluted then you will get a bacterial infection, HOW IS THAT FOR SICK!

Britney is obviously mentally ill. She cuts her family off just because they saved their golden goose, she needs to GROW THE F*CK UP!

We at THE RIGHT TO ROCK will continue to fight the good fight against scantily clad women like Britney, Christina, Paris and Beyonce. Fight against sh*t like Jay Z, Eminem. Plus fight against f*ggots like Justin and the rest of the pop scum. Rock and roll is COMING BACK. Only a matter of time before Evanescence falls to Hell where it belongs.

BURN IN HELL BRITNEY!

5:24 PM CA from NYC Says:

PEOPLE, calm down & think before you write. Talk about karma. Don't wish ill on her -she's made bad choices...she is in the media eye. Maybe she'll get the help she needs and maybe she won't but how dare anyone judge ...are we all so perfect? I doubt it and yes, she's immature and was married to an Ahole but I'm sure you all have f'd up many times just not on a National level.

chill out and give them a chance. What kind of people are ranting on this blog...some of you sound like a bunch of animals. Grow up and just say a prayer for her and her family.

Can I just say something about mr. or mrs. FLOYDFANATIC111. Not that I care that much about britney herself (genuwinly because i've never met, I don't know her personally) FLOYDFANATIC111 seems kind of sick. I mean he/she is really Obsessesing about britney. Its one thing to comment but this guy/gal is scary... he/she "prayed for her demise from day one". I'm just warning, this person seems like he needs help if he lets one person whom he never talks to or has to listen effect his emotion to such an extreme (britney), then imagine if you talk back to him how much he'll hate you, maybe try and find you and kill you. No matter how much you may agree or desagree with this person, he sound a little bit dangerous.

12:38 PM Tiffany Says:

for all you folks who claim she is such a terrible mother and you don't feel sorry for her then, feel sorry for yourselves. What ever she is going through I am sure has something to do with how much she is horrassed for no reason at all, other than she famous. Plus, she has been pregnant for the pass 2 years. That can take a toll on woman's physcal and emotionial self (lots of hormonal changes that make you blue) not to mention a divorce immediately following. How dare people judge a person so harshley who they've never even met. Her children are safe (because if they weren't of course we'd here about it) and she is trying to take care of herself. I believe she deserves for people to lay off of her.

You know i think that people should start to sit back and judge there own lifes before you call on others that you dont know anthing about exept what you read that is DRAMA thats what makes people do things We are not to pass judgment we are to offer help i wish her the best of luck

4:04 PM Anonymous Says:

Honestly it sucks for her kids. I dont feel one bit sorry for her. She wrecked a home kevin and shar when shar was still pregnant. Yeah he is as much to blame becuase he is a piece of garbage but shes just as guilty as he is. She's been a train wreck hiding behind "im a wholesome country girl" she comes up with chaotic chaos.. whatever shows shes a bit out there. No ones prepped to be a parent BUT there are sacrifices that one has to make to be a parent, whatever shes going thru comes secondary to the children who need her because those kids cant do what they need to on their own, and they didnt ask to be brought into this world. Everything thats happend if you ask me is KARMA in the works. She gets the one guy who everyone sees is a clear moron/genius a genius because he milked her for all she was worth and it was so obvious and an idiot because hes a low life. But the reality is looking at it now shes managed to make him look like the good parent.. thats just as crazy as she is..

Before you attack me 12:02 PM CB, take a look at yourself.

You are probably some 12 year old kid who likes to m*st*rbate to airbrushed photos of B*tchney, now that's sick! How about eating fish that was caught in contaminated water, that is sick too. I don't want to hear that she is ill, if she can't handle babies then G*ddammit don't have f*cking kids you stupid c*nt!

What the Hell is it to you what I look like, I'd rather be faceless and living on low funds than to be a miserable, rich, selfish, ugly, airbrushed whiny piece of sh*t like B*tchney! One minute b*tches about the paparazzi then welcomes them the next. You can't have it both ways. You whine about them, move out of America to Abu Dhabi. I bet you don't know what Abu Dhabi is.

I am sick of whiny B*tchney Sneers fans like you saying you feel sorry for her when the reality is she'd laugh and spit in your face.

As far as my family goes, most attempts at rehab for many family members failed. I just sense that B*tchney will relapse if she goes back to performing and if she retires to either the Middle East or Antarctica then there will be no paparazzi. This girl has treated marriages like a joke, cheated on lovers, experimented with being a l*sbo and abused more drugs than anyone I had encountered.

F*CK B*TCHNEY AND F*CK YOU TOO!

12:02 PM CB Says:

Floydfanatic, you crack me up!! I'd love to see what a person like you looks like...someone who sits on the computer at almost 4:00 A.M. and gets all angry about Britney Spears and then goes on about his f*ed up family life. WOW! HAHAHA. Thank goodness for the anonymity of the internet, right?

3:59 AM FLOYDFANATIC111 Says:

I say say SHUT THE F*CK UP to b*tchy Britney! That skank reaped what she sowed.
The woman is a basket case and was on a road to madness. She was the one who wanted to be rich and famous and having the paps comes with the territory. If she doesn't like the paps then move to Abu Dhabi, the Himalayas or Greenland as the paps won't be there. You are all feeling sorry for her then again you hypocrites would be all turn your back on non-celebs if they went and got help.
I know this as I grew up in a drug and alcohol infested house. My older sister had two kids and didn't have post-partum depression after having child #2. My mom had three kids back to back in 1967, 1968 and 1969 and she didn't have any problems until her first husband died in 1972 whilst carrying my second older brother in womb. Then she reunited with my dad whom had two kids with a lady who abandoned her babies to join a religious group. Then when my mom and dad got married, she had my older brother and I in 1975 and 1976 respectively and both my parents were abusing drugs and alcohol, it was the 1970s. My dad quit booze and drugs in 1978 and smoking in 1984 whilst my mom continued to abuse and that was what destroyed my family and I went to live with my dad.
I saw what drugs and booze did, it destroyed my family plus many of my heroes (Hendrix, Moon, Bonham, Panozzo)! My second older brother has struggled with drugs and booze since he was 15 and he finally was scared straight when he went to jail. My oldest and third older brothers are alcoholics. Then all of my sisters drank or abused drugs. I can't cos of my autism.
I don't feel sorry for this c*nt, she deserves all of the bad luck! SEE YOU IN HELL B*TCH!

3:48 AM FLOYDFANATIC111 Says:

F*ck you B*tchney fans. This is all a conspiracy from her incompetent people to make her comeback look like it will be all systems go.
However, I got bad news for you sheep fans, it is not going to happen! I was praying for her breakdown since day one! There is no God, if there was there would be no bombs, no wars. B*tchney doesn't believe in God after selling her soul to Satan. He is in control and a demise is in the cards.
Many people who went into rehab eventually re-lapsed. Motley Crue for instance got sober after Nikki Sixx OD'd in 1987 and then threw sobriety out for booze and sex by the mid-1990s. Ozzy relapsed many times until he attempted to strangle Sharon in 1989 (I wished he did) and was forced to sober up (been free of drugs since 1991). Keith Moon attempted to dry out before his death and died from an accidental barbituate overdose. Stevie Nicks went to rehab for cocaine in 1986 and then was hooked on anti-depressant pills until the mid-1990s (she's been completely drug free since 1995 and quit smoking in 1997 and her voice got better). Eddie Van Halen quit drinking in 1994 then relapsed in the early 2000s and is now a shell of his former self. Only time will tell with James Hetfield of Metallica. Daniel Baldwin, will relapse yet again. Danny Bonaduce, perfect example of being sober then relapsing back into booze.
Some celebs/musicians have successfully remained sober after completing initial rehab programs (Aerosmith (clean since 1986), Linda Blair (drug and alcohol free since 1978), Tommy Shaw (cold turkeyed using drugs in the mid to late 1980s), Rob Halford (clean and sober since 1986), Peter Criss (got his act together in the 1980s), Malcolm Young of AC/DC (been sober since 1988), Simon Kirke of Bad Company (sobered in 1995) and a few others). Any others I left out let me know.
This Hollywood rehab is a vacation spot and not a rehab. A real rehab is going into the mountains where you have to do work like cut trees, hunt for food and so on as a real rehab.
The Baldwins are HAS-BEENS! Daniel is a B-movie actor who was not in any Hollywood blockbuster. Alec is washed up and was only famous for marrying Kim Basinger. William is married to Chynna Phillips.

At this point why ask a question like that people have ripped that poor girl all apart from the get go people act like they have done no wrong in there life please give me a break, if we lived in a perfect world we would not have no drama so sit back and think of all the wrongs or mistakes you have made in your life before you pass judgment on someone elses life and let her be or talk about the fact of the good for once if she is happy that is not for us to judge she is a mother you have to have a speacial gift for that

10:56 PM in kwerty's humble opinion Says:

If the reports are true about what they are saying about her in Rehab we must pray harder.
Please remember that she has been verbally attacked by anyone and everyone and she always had class and never said anything bad about anybody. Please stop all the hating!! She doesn't deserve it. She is in need of help and we owe it to her as a basic human right to give it to her. Please pray for Britney.
Whether you are a fan or not.....
Please join me in praying for Britney. She clearly needs help and the only way we can all help her is by praying for her. We don't know if it's post-partum depression or something else. Whatever it is, it is serious. Shaving her head was a clear sign that she wants help. We don't want her to lose her children or worse!
Let's also pray that the paparazzi will LEAVE HER ALONE!!!
STOP TAKING PICTURES OF HER!!!!
YOU ARE A LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!
No one deserves to be hounded this way!
She has said in the past that she completely believes in the power of prayer. I do too! You don't have to believe in G-d you just have to believe in the power of positivity!!

Brit: Hair or no hair.. you are BEAUTIFUL!
UPDATE: She has ALWAYS been more than CORDIAL to the papz. It is about time she told them where they can go!!!

Daniel you are toxic stay away from her!!!!1

9:44 PM Anonymous Says:

Good for Britney. I do think it's hypocritical for US Weekly to ask the question whether it is a violation of the anonymous part to blab about Britney's mental state. They have been blabbing about it day-by-day!

6:28 PM summer Says:

I think everyone needs to give the girl some room to breath! Why do you think she is in the state she is in? B/c people are up her bleep all of the time. If all you do is point out the negative (US WEEKLY) then everyone gets the wrong impression of someone who has a problem. Leave her the hell alone and let her get well. I am sure many people have gone thru what she has been thru, but it was not plastered on magazines and newspapers throughout the world! Let her be she obviously has an issue that needs to be resovlved in her life, she has been thru alot. leave her alone, if you do talk about her, don't talk smack in every issue!!!!

4:57 PM Tina Freeman Says:

Some people need a little push to get motivated. Brit seems on a downward spiral. Hopefully she will come out of this with everything intact. And Brit in case you read this, kevin only wants custody of the kids so he can get child support. Be careful brit, he's a predator.

3:53 PM Anonymous Says:

Some people will do anything for attention and I am referring to Daniel Baldwin, not Britney in this case. Jeeze, couldn't he just keep his mouth shut about her? Yeah, and like she'd really give him a call, right?

3:22 PM Anonymous1 Says:

hate to say this but the only reason britney went is because she was forced,if she really wanted help she would have stayed the other two times she took herself. she'll get out wait maybe a month and be right back at it. The only way she can get better is if "SHE" wants it for her and "NOBODY" else!

1:38 PM Julia Says:

Britney, hold on! You can do anything. don't give up! It's not easy but you must be stronger for your babies and for yourself! I think that you are very sweet and good woman! And don't think that we belive and read all this trash in magazines and newspapers! It's s***t! You are what you are! Don't forget about this! At first you are a human with your own life and then - are the celeb! Hold on! You can do this!!!

1:12 PM Anonymous Says:

What part of it don't you get? It's a pretty common sentiment around AA -- when you think of all the time and effort you wasted getting drunk and high, and compare it to the time and effort you need to put into staying sober (going to meetings, working the steps, etc), the latter takes way, way less time than the former. That's all.

12:46 PM Andrea Says:

All my prayers are with Britney during this difficult time! Get better, we miss our pop princess! :)

12:16 PM Don't Vote the Hilda Beast Says:

I'm in agreement with those who say, "No more Britney updates" until our girl gets better. Oh and Hilda Beast represents a vice too- power hungry and ugly.

12:14 PM Bre Says:

He means to put as much effert as you do to go out and have fun as you do trying to stop using. Good advice.

10:35 AM Vote Hilary Clinton, not Osama Hussein Barack Says:

What a fat loser, pretending to be caring while releasing private details of her life in a brash attempt to spin whatever PR his dying career is unable to.

Each of the Baldwins seems to represent a vice... Alec-Gluttony, Billy-Lust, Daniel - Drug Addiction.

Remember when they used to be good looking? What the hell happened?

9:23 AM Anonymous Says:

they should date, baldwin is HOTTTT!
and he is older than her, so he could be a good conpanion!

8:37 AM katie Says:

I have to agree with Alison, as much as I love to hear about Britney I would rather not hear anything at all for the next month or however long she needs to get better!!! Give her some room to breathe people!
