Troubled Britney Spears has tried to commit suicide, it was claimed today.
A US newspaper said the singers' meltdown is so severe she has actually attempted to take her own life.
She tried to walk in front of oncoming traffic and threatened to overdose on anti-depressant Xanax.
Her erratic behaviour has forced her family to put her on a suicide watch.
A source told the paper Britney rowed with estranged husband Kevin Federline on Valentine's Day.
She had been hoping for a reconciliation but he said he wanted custody of Sean Preston, 17 months, and Jayden James, 5 months, and wanted a hair follicle from her for drug testing.
The source told: "Britney was crying and said she would kill herself if she lost the boys.
"She started pulling her hair and told Kevin she would cut it all off before anyone touched it."
The paper says despite the family immediately putting her under watch, the 25-year-old escaped and tried to walk in front of oncoming traffic.
Later she grabbed the bottle of Xanax and threatened to take the whole lot.
The source said: "Britney's family is terrified she'll end up like Anna Nicole Smith - on a cold slab in a morgue, leaving her young sons without a mother."
They added: "She's on the same self-destructive path."

And Gwynneth Paltrow. :)
Ok, no need to get ugly here. :-)
Well then she should pony up and show some accountability/responsibility.
The big problem here is that you have a girl who was so used to everything going her way, always getting what she wants, that when she stumbles upon a bit of a challenge, she just can't take it.

That's correct.
OK we are even. Just keep the grand dame of bimbos on your island, Elton John.

Lohan has been making noises about moving over the pond too. :(
I think you are right. Actually, it was Lohan that led the pack into rehab. Hollywood is a hideous mess.

And he will get it. Those kids are gone. Pretty messed up situation when Federline will be determined to be the better parent.
I feel for them. God help them.
What a terrible loss to society. (yes, sarchasm) If I hear one more stinking story on the MSM about the useless people Smith, Spears or Obama ........
I don't care for any of these people but I wonder why K-fed or whatever his name is would not be tested too. He doesn't look like an angel either to me. Wasn't he the one who left the pregnant girlfriend to marry Spears? I think they are all crazy. But if he knew she was doing drugs then I would think he was doing them also. shaking my head again...I wish the news would just stop all the reporting on ANS and Britney Spears too.
This woman shouldn't even have custody of a grilled cheese sandwich.
SHe's got eyebrows,and nose hairs, so the head shaving aint gonna cut it. Oops she did it again!
Yeah, but it won't be nearly as entertaining with Posh. Wasting away to nothing is not as interesting to the paparazzi as meltdowns are.
