Britney Spears Tried to Hang Herself

Among the many betting odds offered by controversial gambling site BetUS.com, none necessarily included death, unless you want to count Britney Spears overdosing at +700 odds.  Now comes news from London tabloid, News of the World, the Britney Spears attempted to hang herself.

The paper reports that a "CRAZED Britney Spears tried to HANG herself with a bedsheet before pleading with her estranged husband to give her another baby."

In a week of rehab madness the bonkers beauty wrote the number of the beast, 666, on her shaved head before running round the clinic screaming "I am the Antichrist!" at frightened staff, the paper goes on to report.

"Later that night she tried to kill herself," a friend said. "She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt."

"When she tried to hang herself it was more a cry for help."

Britney Spears has been running down a path of self-destruction for several weeks now and just when you think it couldn't get much worse, it does.

Another friend reportedly told News of the World: "Britney held up two bottles of Tylenol (an American painkiller) and shouted, ‘I'm gonna do this, this is it! I'm through with the whole f***ing circus'."

A female friend was there and managed to talk her out of it.
