The stories about Britney Spears have grown increasingly disturbing in the past few weeks. Even though Britney ducked in and out of rehab twice before she finally decided to stay at the Promises rehab clinic in Malibu, California, and even with her head shaving incident at a posh beauty salon, nothing could have foretold the alleged meltdown Britney Spears experienced while in the Promises rehab center.

The British tabloid news publication, News of the World, has allegedly garnered an interview with a close personal friend of the former pop singer, who claims that Britney tried to commit suicide with a bed sheet while proclaiming, "I am the Antichrist!"

The News of the World source said that Britney Spears, "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 friend of Britney Spears' went on to say that, "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."

At some point during her anti-Christian breakdown, the Nows of the World source claims that Britney Spears concluded her divorce from hubby Kevin Federline was the wrong course of action. The source claimed that not only does Spears want Kevin Federline back, but that she wants to have another baby with the rapper. The source 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."

But while the behavior exhibited by Britney Spears had grown increasingly erratic and unpredictable, her time spent at the Promises rehab facility seems to have made a positive effect on the troubled singer. The News of the World source said that, "Britney seems much happier and has calmed down a lot. She's a completely different Britney from the beginning of the week."

The source again cited estranged husband Kevin Federline as the source of Britney's strength and courage. "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. 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."

The friend of Britney Spears who talked to the press also revealed, "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."

And while Federline has helped Britney Spears through this tough time, it seems her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, have also been source of inspiration to the "Toxic" singer. "Kevin has also taken their two little boys to see their mum in rehab."

Since entering the Promises rehab facility, Britney Spears has seen some breakthroughs in dealing with her troubles. Doctors at the facility have reportedly linked her problems to postpartum depression, which could explain her drinking and wild partying. As well, Britney Spears has been photographed heading to an AA meeting, which is hopefully a sign the singer is on the road to recovery.
