Is Britney Spears driving herself crazy again? Pics

Britney Spears was spotted recently with new blond hair, riding around West Hollywood and hanging out at a party.

She spent nine hours -- according to a few websites -- getting her color done (and some extensions, we presume, because no color takes that long) at Andy LeCompte's salon, then headed out to the Gaano Star Jazz Club in downtown Los Angeles wearing a tight black dress.

The sight of Brit Brit working her BlackBerry, looking distracted and none too happy while burly, swarthy men drive her to and fro around L.A. seems eerily reminiscent of her strange and disturbing antics almost two years ago, before she ended up in the psych ward.

Is it just us, or is this reason to worry? Especially given the recent news that she may be let out of that strict court-ordered conservatorship and finally get out from under the controlling thumb of her father, Jamie Spears.

What do you think? Can Britney handle her freedom without backsliding?

Hate to see her shave off those purty blond extensions again...
