In early 2007, the public saw a drastic change in Britney. The once bubbly pop star now seemed solemn and depressed. She made tabloid news when she was spotted out partying with Paris Hilton.

In February, Spears entered a drug rehab in the Caribbean. However, days later she checked out and returned to Los Angeles. Britney's next move would stun the world when she was photographed at a hair salon shaving her head.

Britney's troubles would continue when she was caught on camera confronting the paparazzi and destroying a photographer's car with an umbrella. The singer's behavior was cause for concern. Her ex-husband Kevin Federline was granted sole custody of their sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Another celeb who can be added to the #FreeBritney movement is Sharon Stone. During an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Stone revealed that in 2007, Spears reached out to her for help. 

According to Stone, Spears wrote "a very long and important, poignant letter" asking for help. Although Stone sympathized with Britney and would've loved to help, the actress couldn't. Stone herself was going through a difficult time during that period, and felt if she couldn't help herself, she couldn't help Britney.

Although Stone couldn't help Britney during that time, the "Casino" actress is in support for her now. Stone calls the recent situation with Britney "so out of control and so awful."
