Crazy Britney Spears tried to hang herself with a bedsheet

Troubled singer Britney Spears tried to hang herself with a bedsheet before pleading with her estranged husband to give her another baby, News of the World reports

According to a source , the crazy singer wrote the number of the beast, 666, on her shaved head before running round the clinic screaming "I am the Antichrist!" .

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

NOTW also claims that Spears told hubby Kevin Federline she wanted to take him back, renew their wedding vows and get pregnant.

The 25-year-old star is now planning a new life for them and their two children in Louisiana as she sees out her stay at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California.

A source close to the clinic said: "Britney has realized 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.

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

Her pal told NOTW: "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.

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

Just weeks ago, Britney and Kevin were embroiled in a bitter custody battle
for their sons, 17-month-old Sean Preston and five-month-old Jayden James.
Britney quit rehab and was seen attacking a photographer and a car with an
umbrella outside Kevin's home, after he refused to see her.
Friends claim the 'Toxic' singer has attempted to commit suicide before.
A source said: "Britney held up two bottles of Tylenol and shouted 'I'm
doing this!' Britney was terrified Kevin would get full custody of the
children. She said she would kill herself if she lost her boys."
Meanwhile, Britney's mother Lynne has banned former lover Justin Timberlake
from visiting the star in rehab.
A source told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Justin was distressed to
learn about the state Britney was in. Lynne was touched by the gesture but
begged him not to go. He promised to hook up with her at a later date."

Days before this suicide attempt, Britney Spears sparked fears about her health after emerging from
rehab with bizarre scribbling on her hands.

The 'Toxic' star, who hid her recently-sheared head under a brown wig and
hat when she left Malibu's Promises treatment center to attend an Alcoholics
' Anonymous meeting, shocked onlookers by revealing the strange doodles all
over the backs of her hands.

Flowers and the word 'Push' could be made out among the scribbles.

Reports surfaced earlier this month that Britney, 25, was battling alcohol
and drugs after the star's behavior became increasingly erratic.
