Desparate Britney in 'Suicide Attempt'
Metro UK.com ^ | 2.22.07 | staff report

Posted on 02/22/2007 6:33:24 AM PST by meg88

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."

"anti-depressant Xanax"

Xanax isn't an anti-depressant.

Wouldn't really be surprising, but that US newspaper was the National Enquirer.

Mom and Dad must be so proud.

They can console themselves with the fact that they have a younger daughter that they can try the whole thing again with.

Maybe they'll have better luck with a second go 'round at pushing their kid into the limelight.

I was re watching Super Bowl 36 the other night. She was in a lot of Pepsi commercials during that game. She used to be really hot. What a waste.

It is being reported K-Feb was going to subpoena hair samples from Britney to determine her drug use.

That won't help her keep them. Any Judge hearing all this stuff is not going to award them to a stupified, rug-addled, shaven-headed cuicide attempting psycho....
well, a liberal Judge might...

Isn't Xanax anti-anxiety medication?

He almost had a chance to buy them on e-bay.

(How long before Howard K. Stern moves in with Britney?)

Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug. Generalized anxiety is often a symptom of depression.

Can it be a pact with Lindsay Lohen and Paris and the rest of the bimbos?

K-Fed has filed for an emergency injunction to get the kids I think as of today.

There are a few reasons why I haven't even turned the news on for the past week. They should all be very proud.

Good catch. It's a benzo (minor tranquilizer).

That'd be good. I'm more than a little tired of the Bimbos of the Apocalypse.

I was thinking that these other nuts are seeing how much publicity ANS and BS are getting. Before BS's body is even cold, I predict one of the others will have some kind of "crisis."

I would too! While the press is gleefully reporting all these stories, they are accurate about one thing: She's having a meltdown.

And you have to go and send us the Spice girl (Beckham's wife) to add to our misery.
