Britney Spears left a live-in rehabilitation facility early Wednesday, less than a day after checking in, according to several reports.

It was the second time in a week that Spears entered a rehab facility and checked out before her first day was finished.

The television news magazine “The Insider” initially reported that Spears called a car service, walked out of the Promises Malibu Treatment Center and left the facility early Wednesday morning.

Later, the TV show “Extra” and the celebrity Web site TMZ.com said the 25-year-old pop star had left the center far short of the usual 45-day stay. TMZ said she couldn’t handle rehab and went home.

“I always put one of them in charge. If they bring a little group of guys over to the house to have a pool party or whatever, I just say, ‘Dude, what’s your name?’ and he says, ‘Uh, Cinjun.’ I say, ‘Cinjun, you’re in charge. If anything happens to one of my daughters, I’m coming to you first, and then I’m going to kill all your friends right in front of you, and you’ll be last.’ Cinjun, if you’re listening to this …”

Waitress star Keri Russell and husband Shane Deary welcomed their first child, a son, her rep confirms.

River Russell Deary was born June 9 in New York. The birth was announced on Monday.

Russell, 31, who gained fame on TV’s Felicity, now appears in the hit indie romantic comedy Waitress.

Rosie O’Donnell has her big meeting with CBS execs about the “Price is Right” hosting gig, but the whole thing might be moot because Rosie doesn’t want to schlep to L.A. to do the show. FOX News reports that the cross-country travel could be the deal-breaker, though she might be able to do all her shows in one four-day fell swoop every month.

Meanwhile, Bob Barker is backtracking on his comments endorsing Rosie for the job, saying that he has “not been asked for my opinion, nor have I expressed one. I think there are several candidates who could do the show, and Rosie is certainly one of them.”

Fade to black? Not a chance for fans of “The Sopranos.” Almost two weeks after the series finale, the addiction to the show seems stronger than ever, with legions of fans making a journey to Jersey to see real-life remnants of the hit TV mob drama.

For many, their obsession starts at the place where the series ended: Business is booming at the diner where lead character Tony Soprano sat with his family in the controversial series finale.

Fans not only want to eat at Holsten’s (actually an ice cream parlor in Bloomfield), they want to sit in the same booth where Tony, the fictional New Jersey mob boss, played the Journey song, “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

“The phone just rings constantly all day from people wanting to make reservations,” said co-owner Chris Carley. “They ask `Can we reserve the booth? Can we get a T-shirt?’”

Carley, who watched the final scenes filmed there over two days, fields calls from fans wanting to talk about the ending. Customers who want to relive Tony’s last meal can buy some of the onion rings he raved about(for $2.50), but they cannot listen to the juke box, which was a prop for the show.

“It’s just so funny that people want to sit in that booth,” Carley said. “A lot of people are taking pictures.”

The Emmy-winning HBO show explored the life of the fictional Jersey mob boss and his family, and scores of scenes have been shot across the Garden State since it debuted in 1999.

The series buzz-inducing final scene ended abruptly with the screen suddenly going black as Tony and his family sit down to dinner at Holsten’s, leaving fans guessing about what happens next.

Part of “The Sopranos” fascination is fueled by the lack of a real ending, said Roland T. Rust, chairman of the marketing department at the University of Maryland.

“The fact you don’t have that resolution makes it more difficult for people to let go,” Rust said.

Some fans are flocking to a “Sopranos”-themed bus tour.
