Britney Spears "I am the Anti-Christ!"

Britney Spears has flipped her lid in rehab, trying to hang herself with a bedsheet after screaming "I am the anti-christ" to frightened staff.

She made the demonic cry after scrawling the devil's number "666" across her head.

Spears's manic behaviour has concerned relatives who once again fear for her safety, and has staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California struggling to cope.

The former chart-topper's troubles have been revealed in Britain's News Of the World, which broke the exclusive story.

Within days of her suicidal behaviour, Spears - who was in and out of rehab before shaving her own head and later attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella - was begging estranged husband Kevin Federline not only for a reconciliation, but demanding she wanted to soon have another baby.

The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!"

"The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed.

The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.

If news reports are true, Britney Spears, the queen of pop is on the brink and needs heavy duty rehabilitation.

Reports are claiming that she tried to commit suicide after scribbling 666 on her forehead and screaming she is the anti-christ.

The truth is that while these reports are out on the Internet, if they are true, it shows the incredible depths of help needed and perhaps prescription medicine for stabilizing.

Without doubt, Spears has had a streak of bad media being chased by paparazzi, filing a divorce with Kevin Federline, having two boys in as many years and hitting the party circuit as though there was no tomorrow. There are also reports that Britney Spears has been hooked on drugs and alcohol.

If the reports of the attempt suicide is true and her belief that she is the anti-christ, medical science and therapy has cured or at least managed people in worse condition.

The question for Britney Spears watchers is truth versus fiction. Still, there is little question that she has a problem as evidenced by the bald shaving of the head and the rehab revolving door.

Also, her own parents have publicly expressed their deep concern and of course, finally, she is in rehabilitation.

Anti-christ and attempt suicides aside, if true, she can make a come back. Her lifestyle would need to change dramatically and perhaps even her music. But, first, she might find her own compass and her own anchor. There is too much evidence that the ship called Britney is floating aimlessly in troubled waters. She needs our patience, our prayers and our help.

Cannot be any further from the truth...

I have seen Britney's downfall build up slowly over the last few years and its sad to the see someone decline in the way she has. She is still young and has support around her from her parents and around the clock help, there is a chance she can pull through this nightmare. It will not happen overnight though.

You've got that right Hero. I too, have also seen this downfall build up over the years. It's not really sad, but more confusing from my eyes. One minute she was the 7/11 flavor of the month, the next she is claiming she is the anti-christ. It really does make you wonder where it all suddenly went so horribly wrong...

[Masked Ninja]

I've had definite distate for this woman for a good number of years. But this...? I can't feel anything but pity. She's obviously gone completely nuts and needs a little break from the rest of the world until she can function like a normal human being.

Talk about "running yourself into the ground." This is exactly why I would never want to be a celebrity. I'd rather be the type where you're noteworthy in your field but the general public has no idea who you are, if anything... certainly not this constant surveillance crap that causes people to ruin themselves.

[LogicDonny]

Wow serious she has changed alot. From the innoncent schoolgirl look on her first music video to now, Brintney has changed for the worst. This happens alot to many celebrity.

it is sad to see her in this state but we can't feel sorry for her really. She has to take the time away from the world and get her self fixed up.

[Hero]

She's not the only 'teen' who's been messed up by showbiz.

It makes me wonder who's next

You know... when Spears, Spice Girls, the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync were big, I told EVERYONE that I couldn't wait for the E! true Hollywood stories to come out, and completely shatter their facade of happiness and expose all of their stupidity.

Little did I know then, but waiting for the stories would be equally entertaining.

[Mecha Cow]

Pathetic. Go away Britney, nobody cares about you anymore.

I think she's just nuts. I don't think she should ever even try and be a 'celebrity' again, because she obviously can't hack it.

I'll say this... if it's actual mental issues NOT caused by her excessive partying and whatnot, then I'll pity her. If it's because of the choices she made to ruin her body, then I don't.

Though I'll say I'm a tad torn, this being a touchy subject for me (NOT Spears... I don't give a crap about her). I'm more and more for K-Fed raising those kids. If she gets them, even after rehab... then the system doesn't work. (Which we all kinda knew anyway.)

Diagnosed with postpartum depression and lodged at the Promises Clinic for de-addiction in Malibu, California, allegations in the media suggest that Britney Spears recently proclaimed that she was the 'anti-Christ' and then tried to commit suicide by hanging herself with a bedspread. She also allegedly penned '666', widely considered Satan's number, across her recently shaved head.

“Last Saturday, she said she had the number 666 written onto her bald head. She was crying, and shouting, 'I am the anti-Christ!' The clinic people just didn't know what to do. Then she started screaming, 'I'm a fake! I'm a fake!'” a source close to the troubled singer said to News of the World.

The source added that Britney attempted suicide in the rehabilitation center but was rescued before any harm came to her. “That night she tried to kill herself. She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt,” the paper quoted the source as saying.

The Grammy-winning singer's downward spiral began sometime last year after the birth of her second son Jayden James in September. In November 2006, Britney filed for divorce from her husband of two years Kevin Federline, with whom she shares Jayden James and another one-and-a-half-year-old son Sean Preston.

The singer then went on a partying binge with socialite Paris Hilton and actress Lindsay Lohan. Her lowest point came last month, when she checked in and out of a rehab center in Antigua and then proceeded to a beauty salon where she shaved off her head and got a couple of tattoos.

Earlier, industry watchers dismissed her antics as typical celebrity behavior but concerns were expressed after the singer shaved her head and was reported to be incoherent and mentally disturbed. After her entry into rehab, doctors reportedly diagnosed her with postpartum depression, which might explain her non-stop partying and erratic behavior.

However, according to the source, in spite of her anti-Christ shenanigans Britney seems to be getting better. “Britney seems much happier and has calmed down a lot. She's a completely different Britney from the beginning of the week,” the source said. The singer is also rethinking divorce proceedings against her estranged husband as Federline has been supporting her rehab and also took Sean Preston and Jayden James to see their mother in Promises. According to the source, Britney asked Federline for reconciliation and told him she still loves him.

“Kevin has been a real tower of strength for her and she has finally decided to give their marriage another shot. She just wants to be with him again, and thinks having another baby will seal their marriage,” the source said, adding that Federline has abandoned his partying ways and has become more responsible after the crisis. However, given her current post-partum depression, having another baby might not be a very good idea. The source said that the depression 'wasn't helped by the cocktail of alcohol, drugs and prescription pills she was taking'.

Meanwhile, other celebrities have come out in support of the troubled singer. Actress Brooke Shields, who herself suffered from post-partum depression and even penned a book on coping with the disorder, Britney's ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake and maverick crooner Pink are among those reaching out to the Toxic singer.

In a personal message, Timberlake 'wished her the best and told her to get healthy and come back as the Britney he knew', a friend of the SexyBack singer was quoted as saying. On her part, Shields said: “If she (Britney) wants to talk to someone, I'm available.” Are you listening, Britney?

Raph's Girl note: Postpartum Depression?! This is the weirdest cast of Postpartum I have ever heard. ô,0 But at least her friends want to help her.

holy sh!t thats insane... oO

Citing Post Partum is a great way out for her. Way to jump on the bandwagon, Brit.

However... this is NOT postpartum depression. First off, it rarely lasts as long after the birth, and it almost never starts this far AFTER the birth. She could cite, however, postpartum psychosis... which actually COULD account for what she's done... but not really. PPP starts affecting you in the very first few days after the birth. At most, a week or so. It's been quite a bit longer than that, and there is no 'delayed PPP'.

She's mentally imbalanced, that's all there is to it. It has been said that post partum can bring to the forefront some latent genetic mental instability. Post partum psychosis does include hallucinations and delusions (which, I'm sure, she'll use in court to explain the whole 'I am the anti-Christ ordeal at a later date).

“Britney seems much happier and has calmed down a lot. She's a completely different Britney from the beginning of the week

Possible schizophrenia, anyone? Bipolar, possibly. Ironically, this actually would meld well with her PPD 'claim'... Though I think it's a great sympathy plea for the courts.

She just wants to be with him again, and thinks having another baby will seal their marriage

Ha!! She's like all those idiot girls who think that 'having a baby' will make everything all better. And this person is supposed to be a role model? She should be banned from having another baby... at least until she's (if it's possible) stable. Until then, she shouldn't be allowed with children.

I think she just finally snapped. Years of too much partying, the so called 'pressures' of being famous (I agree with her on her 'I'm a fake!' cries)... Drugs, what have you... But...

If it is postpartum psychosis (which is about .1-.2% of ladies), and I don't think it is... then she might be able to get help. Though I thought she was messed up years ago... Personally... I think it's all this:

the depression 'wasn't helped by the cocktail of alcohol, drugs and prescription pills she was taking'.

And in that case, well...

She never made ANY. She was only a faceplate.

It makes me wonder who's next

Last Friday (way early) morning, I watched VH1 actually playing videos for around 5 hours in an attempt to cap the TMNT movie TV spots. After seeing Christina Aguilera's latest 'I wanna be a slut' video for the 15th time that morning, I figured that she was approaching the desperation that Spears has blindly wandered into. So, I think she might be next.

P.S. - If I never watch another music channel again, it'll be too soon. -_-

I read this in a free newspaper this afternoon on the way home. "Simon Cowell On Britney Spears & Robbie Williams".

SIMON Cowell, American Idol’s resident English baddie – a shorter Alan Rickman in high-waisted trousers - is talking over matters Robbie Williams and Britney Spears.

“It’s very fashionable to be in rehab,” says Cowell in the Mirror. “This whole thing is a total indulgence.”

So Cowell, worth a reported £90million, is thinking of joining the rehab cult? No. “Britney and Robbie need to get a grip,” he adds.

Cowell says Spears should go back to live with her mum for six months. He prescribes a short, sharp shock.

“I went to a deprived part of the world recently and I saw a set of conditions that people live in that are beyond belief,” says Cowell, pictured seated by the swimming pool at his eight-bedroom Beverly Hills office.

Cowell declines to name the location but it is known that he spends some of his time in the UK, and we understand what he means.

He says the trip opened his eyes. “I would make it compulsory that they have to go and live in a developing country for a couple of weeks,” says he. “I’ll tell you what rehab is.” says Cowell. “Go to where I just went, where people really are suffering and then you’ll see how good life is.”

Cowell should note that Britney has toured in Rio de Janeiro and Williams, a native of Stoke-on-Trent, has travelled widely from Scotland to some of the more remote German stadia and Denmark.

Cowell speaks his mind. But, of course, there is nothing new in bashing Williams. It was Liam Gallagher who told us: “What's his f***in' problem, man? "We all know what it is - he's a f***in' drama f***in' queen. If you've got a f***in' problem, why do you want the whole world knowing about it? He has to be on the front f***in' pages, doesn't he? Just sort your f***in' self out. You make a f***in' crap album then want everyone to feel f***in' sorry for you. "F***in' tosser!"

Cowell agrees. “I’ve heard Rudebox and it’s terrible,” he says of Williams’ most recent album. “If it was by anyone else it wouldn’t have been released.”

But while the fading pop idols bounce off the padded walls and tell of the pain and the turmoil to people paid to listen, Cowell introduces us to the future. It’s Leona Lewis, the winner on Cowell’s X Factor TV show. It’s Ray Quinn, who finished as the show’s runner up.

And we begin to feel a little empathy for Williams and Spears. We begin to feel their depression…

I have to agree with him on some points. Although Britney thinks she has it tough, she really needs to go to somewhere like India or a place in Africa to see how hard people have it. She may have had such a sad life in the past year, but people have been living like this all their lives and they don't act like it's the end of the world; they just deal with it. She may have been to Rio de Janeiro, but she just needs to go to a place like that again, or some other third world country, so then she can just snap out of it.

[Buslady]

I think it's absolutely hilarious but also sad...she freaking needs help. BAD.
Like some Lithium or SOMETHING! She's no way in hell getting her kids back. Not like that. Out of it all, I feel sorry for them.

[VaughnMichael]

maybe she's just doing this all as a publicity stunt hahaha perhaps Marilyn Mansons giving here advice for her new album hahahahaha
