Troubled pop star Britney Spears has reportedly demanded an entire wing at the California rehab centre where Britney Spears is undergoing treatment be cleared - for her privacy.
The Toxic hitmaker, who was admitted to the Promises Clinic in Malibu last Tuesday (19Feb07) and re-admitted again on Thursday (21Feb07) after checking herself out the day before, doesn't want to mix with other patients, according to press reports.

Britney Spears' first husband Jason Alexander fears the pop superstar will end up like late actress/model Anna Nicole Smith if she doesn't curb her wild lifestyle.
The Toxic singer - who stunned fans when she shaved off her locks last week - checked into the Promises treatment centre in Malibu, California on Wednesday night after two failed attempts in the past week to seek counselling for her ongoing problems.
And Alexander, whose brief marriage to the 25-year-old was annulled 55 hours after tying the knot in Las Vegas, Nevada in January 2004, is worried she will follow tragic Smith to an early grave if she doesn't complete her latest spell in rehab.

He says: "It freaked me out when I saw britney spears had shaved off her hair - that was clearly a cry for help. The pictures have become increasingly disturbing. I have never said anything about Britney and drugs before but I am very, very concerned about her. I am really worried that she will wind up like Anna Nicole Smith and be found dead."
Alexander also thinks britney spears needs to re-examine her life and go back to her Louisiana roots.
He adds: "Britney spears needs to knock herself down from the pedestal she thinks she is on and remember that britney spears's just an old country girl. Britney spears needs a break from Hollywood. Her problem is she doesn't feel anyone wants her for herself - only for who britney spears is."
Smith died at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on February 8 at the age of 39. The cause of britney spears death is still under investigation.
Gourmet meals, masseuses, 500-thread-count sheets and private rooms with a fireplace and a view of one of the city's most exclusive beaches. It sounds like a high-end resort and it is _ for the rich and famous looking to kick an addiction.
Called Promises Residential Treatment Center, it's the place Britney Spears is supposed to call home for the next month while she attempts to grab control of a life that looked to be spinning out of control.
In a little over a week, the singer reportedly checked in and out and in and out and then in again to rehab, shaved her head and got tiny lips tattooed on her wrist. And this flurry followed months of hard late-night partying in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
By entering Promises, for the second time, on Thursday, Britney Spears joined a long list of other celebrities who have trekked to the lush Malibu facility to overcome addictions. Promises alumni includes Ben Affleck, Charlie Sheen, Diana Ross and Matthew Perry.
Treatment doesn't come cheap. A 30-day stay is $48,000.
What kind of perks can patients expect for $1,600 a night at the 16-person facility? A personal trainer, beautician, private counseling session and no chores. The sprawling grounds of the Mediterranean-style villa tucked in the Santa Monica Mountains include tennis and basketball courts, two pools and nearby horseback riding facilities.

'These people are wealthy, wealthy,' Malibu Mayor Ken Kearsley says of the clientele. 'They don't call them gourmet cooks there, they call them `recovery nutritionists.''
A typical recovery lunch: Korean short ribs, pot stickers, sashimi, Thai chicken coconut soup and teriyaki chicken.
If the perks alone aren't enough to keep her at Promises, Britney Spears need only reflect on the possibility she could lose custody of her two young children to estranged husband Kevin Federline if she doesn't complete the program.
Promises helped launch the so-called 'Malibu Model' of rehab when it opened in 1989. There is also a facility in West Los Angeles and The Promises Foundation for low-income single mothers in Culver City.

Some proponents of the high-life approach to kicking drugs and alcohol have criticized more traditional institutional facilities for being too draconian. Such facilities provide Spartan conditions and can require clients to make their own coffee and mop the floors.
Malibu is the high-end detox destination. In this 27-mile-long seaside enclave of 14,000 that many celebrities call home, there are about 25 rehab centers with inviting names like Harmony Place, Renaissance and Cliffside Malibu.
'Even though we created this very exclusive model of treatment we're firmly grounded in the 12-step tradition which differentiates us from a lot of other programs,' Promises founder and CEO Richard Rogg says.
The facility's Web site shows rooms decorated in serene shades of blue, a couple laughing playfully beside lapping waves and a woman with her hand outstretched to a horse. The site promises an 'unparalleled recovery experience' and refers to itself as the choice of business executives and government officials in addition to celebrities.
'The London Times, People Magazine and Time Magazine, among others, have extolled our virtues on their pages,' the Web site boasts.
Steve Cron, a Santa Monica criminal defense attorney, has visited numerous clients at Promises and played pingpong by one of the pools.
'I've often said if I had nothing else to do and a substance abuse problem and had $40,000 lying around I'd go there for a vacation,' he says. 'All kidding aside, it's an outstanding program.'
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Britney Spears' in-again out-again rehab saga found her back in a Malibu facility on Thursday, halting an emergency court hearing in which estranged husband Kevin Federline planned to discuss custody of their two children.
Celebrity Web sites reported that the pop singer returned late on Wednesday to the Promises rehabilitation center, which she had fled earlier in the day after less than 24 hours of treatment.
Britney Spears' spokesman did not return calls for comment on the reports, which followed a turbulent week that has seen one of the world's best-known pop stars in and out of rehab three times and shaving her own head.
The Web site of syndicated TV show Extra said there was video showing her driving through the gates of the luxury Promises center with Britney Spears mother.
Other reports said britney spears returned after seeking a meeting with Federline on Wednesday but being denied entry to the house where he is staying with their children, Jayden James, 5 months old, and Sean Preston, 17 months old.
Britney Spears filed for divorce in November after two years of marriage and both she and Federline are seeking custody.
Several reports said Spears returned for a full 30-45 days of treatment after Federline gave her a last chance to get help or risk losing custody of the children.
Los Angeles County Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said the family court was notified on Wednesday that papers requesting a hearing on the children could be filed. But Parachini said Federline's lawyers had called to say no court action would be held on Thursday.
"Kevin continues to be a very focused father with his children's best interests at heart," said a statement from Mark Vincent Kaplan, read by the lawyer's publicist, Michael Sands.
Britney Spears hit the nightclub circuit hard after splitting with Federline and shocked fans when photographs of her getting out of cars showed she wasn't wearing panties under her miniskirts.
Last week, Britney Spears was reported to have entered and fled a rehab center in Antigua after staying for less than a day.
When Britney Spears returned to Los Angeles, Britney Spears shaved off all her hair after a stylist refused to do it and got two new tattoos.
