Britney Spears was placed on lockdown for a 72-hour mental evaluation Friday after the pop star confined herself in a room with one of her children at her Los Angeles home.

Britney was hospitalized late Thursday night after locking herself in a room with Jayden, 1, and refused to hand him over to ex-husband Kevin Federline. According to police Britney appeared to be "under the influence of an unknown substance." Photographed being strapped to a gurney, she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

A source told People magazine that the pop star's court-appointed child monitor called police. "She had already put SeanPreston, 2, in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden," says the source.

The evaluation, known as a "5150 Hold," is, according to the medical code, "When any person, as a result of mental disorder, is a danger to others, or to [herself], or is gravely disabled." Britney will be on a minimum 72-hour evaluation until deemed fit to leave.
