In Touch can exclusively reveal what actually happened after Britney Spears checked into LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last week. The troubled pop star was admitted under the assumed name Barbara Jean to the hospital’s 3rd floor Psych Unit. An eyewitness says she was calm after being medicated. But the 26-year-old did have an episode during which she hurt the pinky finger on her left hand, as well as cut her head, after thrashing into a wall behind her bed.

Britney was then taken to the 8th floor of the south medical tower to have her injuries treated. Insiders say that Britney’s presence caused mini-riots throughout the facility. One patient’s mother brought in a birthday cake, and wanted to have a small party for her daughter, but was informed that distributing food was against the rules. The mom screamed: “If Britney brought the cake you’d let her,” before kicking the door to Britney’s room, which caused Britney to yell back at the woman. According to the witness, Britney also declined to join the other patients in wishing the celebrant a happy birthday, even though the gathering was in the adjacent room. But, Britney did manage to sneak a few cigarette breaks during her stay in an approved smoking area!
