BRITNEY Spears has flipped her lid in rehab, trying to hang herself with a bedsheet after screaming "I am the anti-christ" to frightened staff.

She made the demonic cry after scrawling the devil's number "666" across her head.

Spears's manic behaviour has concerned relatives who once again fear for her safety, and has staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California struggling to cope.

The former chart-topper's troubles have been revealed in Britain's News Of the World, which broke the exclusive story.

Within days of her suicidal behaviour, Spears - who was in and out of rehab before shaving her own head and later attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella - was begging estranged husband Kevin Federline not only for a reconciliation, but demanding she wanted to soon have another baby.

The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!"

"The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed.

The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.

Out-of-control Brits attempts suicide

A crazed Britney Spears has tried to hang herself with a bedsheet during a week of rehab madness that ended with the mentally unstable star pleading with her estranged husband to give her another baby, a British tabloid has reported. Spears is reported to have written the number of the beast 666 on her shaved head before running around the clinic where she was in rehab shouting 'I am the Antichrist" at frightened patients and staff. "Later she tried to k*ll herself," a friend reportedly told the UK tabloid News of The World. "She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt." But just days after allegedly trying to commit su*cide Spears is reported to have told husband Kevin Federline she wanted to take him back so that they could renew their wedding vows and have another child.

The continuing bizarre behaviour of the 25-year-old star has shocked staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California where she is seeking treatment. They have struggled to cope with her increasingly deranged behaviour, that has seen her regularly check in and out of rehab. "She is still very vulnerable," the friend said. "Last Saturday she said she had the number 666 written onto her bald head. She was crying, and shouting, 'I am the Antichrist!'," she said. "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."

A report from a rehab clinic insider revealed that Spears has recently planned a new life for herself, Federline and their two children in Louisiana. "Britney has realised what a rock Kevin has been to her, and how out of control she has acted recently," the source said. "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." Reports suggested Federline has responded to Spear's plea for help and has been supporting his estranged wife through her treatment.

The father of her two children has regularly visited her in the clinic and apparently promised to stand by her if she went clean. "Britney never even dreamed she would take him back," a friend of Spears said. "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." "Kevin has also taken their two little boys to see their mum in rehab."

The improvement in their relationship comes after last week the pair were reported to be in the midst of a bitter custody fight over their two children. Britney was later pictured crazily attacking a car with an umbrella when Kevin refused to open the door and let her into his house. Reports suggest that Spear's erratic behaviour is due to an addiction to the dangerous drug crystal methamphetamine or ice. Ice, which can be either snorted or injected, affects the brain and nervous system, triggering side effects like agitation, paranoia, confusion and violence. Spears has battled drug use before and sources close to the rehab clinic have said she is attending sessions designed to address drug and booze problems.

Friends have reported the star taking coc@ine and ecstasy before but since the beginning of the year her behaviour has spiralled out of control. Two weeks ago she checked herself into a rehab centre in the Caribbean after an intervention by friends. But she left after just 24 hours.
