KEY POINTS:
Britney Spears will remain in a hospital psychiatric ward for an additional 14 days, a person close to the pop star says.
Spears was to be released from UCLA Medical Centre's psychiatric hospital in Los Angeles today, but doctors and a medical officer at the ward determined that she should remain.
Spears was whisked to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation early on Thursday by paramedics, with a heavy police escort.
