After a daring, early morning escape from Promises Malibu involving an armor-plated Escalade piloted by toddler Sean Preston (we told you she was training the kid to be a getaway driver), Britney Spears is once again free of the clutches of yet another evil cadre of sobriety-pushers hell-bent on denying her the kind of good, clean, alcohol-fueled, baby-neglecting fun so readily available to members of her celebrity hedonist caste at Hollywood's VIP lounges. Brace yourselves for a follow-up report about a Promises re-check-in before lunchtime, just as soon as one of her concerned parents tranquilize her and schlep their daughter's unconscious form back to Malibu, where she'll be chained to a gold-plated radiator until she lasts at least two days in a treatment facility.

Additionally, TMZ is reporting that corporate sibling Extra is reporting that Spears sought out a tattoo parlor following her escape, confirming our earlier suspicions that she really regrets not going with the dolphins encircling her navel during the ill-advised body-art-procuring portion her extensions-eradicating meltdown.
