Britney Spears Put on "Suicide Watch"

British newspaper, News of the World, is reporting that Staff at the Promises clinic, the rehab center that Britney Spears checked herself into last month, is putting her on a 'suicide watch'. Sources say she tried to hang herself with a bed sheet.

"She is still very vulnerable. Last Saturday she said she had the number 666 written onto her bald head. She was crying, and shouting, 'I am the Antichrist!' The clinic people just didn't know what to do. Then she started screaming, 'I'm a fake! I'm a fake!' It must have been really frightening," the News of the World quoted the source, as saying.

"Later 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 pal added.

A source at the clinic also claims that Britney is trying to reconcile with her estranged hubby Kevin Federline and wants to have another baby.

"Britney has realised what a rock Kevin has been to her, and how out of control she has acted recently. She has been talking to Kevin every night for hours on the phone, telling him she still loves him. She just wants to be with him again, and thinks having another baby will seal their marriage," the source said.

The source insisted that the singer was also much happier and calmer than she was at the time she checked herself into the clinic.

"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.

Another source close to Britney said that the singer was now thinking about renewing her vows with K-Fed. "Kevin has been a real tower of strength for her and she has finally decided to give their marriage another shot. She thought things were over between her and Kevin after his wild partying and gambling," the source said.

"She felt he had deserted her and left her to bring up their two children on her own. She never even dreamed she would take him back. But Kevin's like a different man now. He's never been so caring before, and is really worried about Britney. He's been Britney's rock during her difficult time, and she wants to give him another chance. This week she even asked if she could have a night away from the Promises Clinic with Kevin. She's still waiting to hear if they will give her a pass so that they can go out for a romantic meal together.

Currently the singer is working on her fifth studio album which is due for release in 2007. She has been criticized for many strange acts of late: from her kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards to posing nude for the August 2006 cover of Harper's Bazar, her panty-less partying with Paris Hilton, and her recent head shaving.

A life-size sculpture of a pregnant, naked Britney Spears giving birth as she's kneeling on a bearskin rug has also attracted considerable attention. Several recent photographs have also showed Spears driving her sport utility vehicle (SUV) in Malibu, California with her 4-month-old son Sean Preston perched on her lap rather than strapped into a car seat in the back seat. And another photo shows her almost dropping him.
