Britney in treatment?

On The View this morning, Barbara Walters said she received a call from Britney Spears' manager and pal Sam Lutfi.

"She has been to a psychiatrist," Walters said she learned from Lutfi. "She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment."

Walters also said Spears is reportedly back in touch with her mother, although she is still suffering from "mood swings" and trouble sleeping.

When the other hosts on The View questioned Lutfi's report, Walters replied, "I don't know if anybody is telling the truth or not telling the truth." She added, "He has been with her constantly. He seems to be enormously supportive."
