It has been reported for weeks that Britney Spears’ family, friends and some of the professionals in her life have been planning a “creative way” to deal with her mental problems. Finally, it looks like the time has arrived.

If it happens, TMZ reports, it should happen this week.

Last night, Brit’s mom, Lynne Spears, her father, Jamie Spears, “cousin” Alli Sims, creepy manager Sam Lutfi and boyfriend Adnan Ghalib all showed up at Britney’s house and were all there at the same time.

Britney’s mom and dad (among others) have known for months that a bipolar disorder – not substance abuse – is at the root of her mental problems.

They cannot involuntarily commit her (impossible under the circumstances) and Britney has refused to voluntarily enter a hospital or even undergo an evaluation for the problem. But now a new plan is underway.

Britney had not spoken to her mother for a while, but last night, Britney and Lynne Spears (along with Sam Lutfi, background) left her gated compound at one point and went to the drug store, so they are now interacting at least.

An intervention has been in the planning stages for well over a month. It should begin to unfold if Britney Spears cooperates… but that’s a big if.

All we can do is wait, watch and hope.
