On the credibility scale, the UK's News of the World is located somewhere between guys on street corners with scripture-quoting sandwich boards and bullhorns, and that one issue of Weekly World News revealing that Bill Clinton is actually a centaur. So it pains us to have to relay one of their stories, but every other blog is doing it and we are nothing if not followers. So with a big sigh and exaggerated eye-rolling, here goes. Our gossip doyenne, FemaleFirst, says:
[Britney Spears] – who is currently in Malibu's Promises rehab centre – scribbled 666 on her shaved head and terrified staff by screaming, "I am the Antichrist!"
A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "She was crying and shouting, 'I am the Antichrist!' Then she started screaming, 'I'm a fake!'
"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."
We do have a void in the entertainment industry when it comes to Satanic goings-on, what with Marilyn Manson busy having a midlife crisis and chasing after teenage girls and such and such. Perhaps Britney will usher in a new age of devil worship hysteria, last seen in the mid-1980s. Pranksters will leave severed sheep's heads in a field behind their junior highs next to worn DVDs of Chaotic, and crustached teenage heshers will attempt suicide pacts to the strains of "Me Against the Music".
