Britney Spears Suicide Shocker

by celebuzz on Jun. 18, 2008 03:30 PM / 6 Comments

Here's a surprise: In his upcoming unauthorized biography of Britney Spears, investigative journalist Ian Halperin researched the singer for 18 months as an undercover photographer and claims she attempted to kill herself on two separate occasions.

"I spoke with her many times and went to her house," Halperin—who has also written tell-alls on Kurt Cobain and Celine Dion—told Life & Style Weekly. "I know all the details about both [suicide attempts]."

A confidante of Spears says Brit's suicidal urges "really became an issue once [her son] Jayden was born and it became clear [that] Britney's marriage to Kevin [Federline] was crumbling. She began to say things like 'I wish I was dead' or 'It'd be better if I could go to sleep and never wake up.' "

Hopefully Spears is getting the help she needs to get back on track. But maybe she should be happy that at this point in her life, she can't do anything right.

She can't style her own hair. She can't get behind the wheel without endangering her kid or running over someone's foot. Dad Jamie Spears has to do everything for her, and he's still a long way off from being her Jack Kevorkian.

Quotables /

“Britney Spears rolls out of bed and catches an early morning flight out of LAX airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old pop princess was accompanied by one of People magazine’s hottest bachelors, her older brother Bryan (yes, the one in the hat and glasses).

Her father, Jamie Spears, also came along for the ride. A hearing to determine if he would remain daughter Britney’s conservator was delayed yesterday because the Spears family is apparently going on vacation. Also yesterday, an L.A. court commissioner agreed to allow Jamie to sell Brit’s Studio City home.”

“She's making that look again. You know the one -- if you jostle her around too much or mention the word "bacon," she just might blow chunks all over you.

Britney Spears was trying her best to hold it down on Wednesday morning at Los Angeles International Airport as she prepared for an early a.m. departure.

She looks as though she literally rolled out of bed, still drunk from a party the night before.

(Holding out barf bag) If you're going to spew, spew in this, Britney!”

“Remember last year when Britney Spears drove over someone’s foot three times in less than a month. The last incident occurred on November 14 in the driveway of the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. To make a long story short: Britney too many paparazzi = foot run over. Luckily for Britney, she’s not being charged for the incident because she probably didn’t remember what happened. Us Weekly says:

The police determined that the singer was not aware of the November 14, 2007 incident, when she was driving in front of the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A. A video of Spears driving slowly as a photographer cried out about his foot was widely circulated online at the time.

Considering how much prescription medication/drugs/chocolate Britney was on at the time, is anyone surprised “she had no recollection of the event”? Britney probably doesn’t remember getting married, having kids, or her 20s let alone running over some scumbag paparazzo’s foot.

Expecting Britney to recall what happened that day is about as unlikely as expecting Kendra Wilkinson to remember the alphabet, addition, or what non-wrinkled balls taste like.”

This guys only fueling the fire, to be honest. If he really cared about her, he'd leave her alone.

She only survived because overdosing on pork rinds isn't usually fatal.
