Sources tell ET that BRITNEY SPEARS spoke with a British accent during her stay at Cedars-Sinai hospital last Friday. While DR. PHIL wouldn't comment on that during our exclusive interview with him, he did say that the troubled pop star needs to be in treatment.

"She needs to be in in-patient care for a period of time," he advises. "Is she having a rough time right now? Yes, she is. Why? I'm not really going to go into that at this point. But I can tell you this is a good person and I truly believe she'll get back to being a good person."
