Britney Spears twice attempted suicide

A shocking new book claims Britney Spears has tried to kill herself twice in the last 18 months.

Britney Spears attempted suicide twice in the last 18 months, a shocking new book claims. Award winning journalist Ian Halperin spent the last year and a half undercover posing as a paparazzo to "get close to Spears and her inner circle of managers and friends". Halperin told Life And Style Weekly of the singer's two apparent suicide bids and claims her problems are fuelled by drugs and the company she keeps. "I saw a lot. I partied with her and was able to really monitor what type of stuff she was using. It's very concerning," he explains. "But the book is mainly about her handlers, how sleazy and destructive they are towards her. The people around her are like vultures. She's on major medications. And she's being micro-managed and controlled to the extreme by her parents, the courts and a huge team of doctors and handlers. I think she's in danger of a catastrophic relapse." It's not all bad though, the journalist, who's written books on Kurt Cobain and Celine Dion, did say, "She's basically a good person. She's actually a very caring mom."
