Britney Spear nearly went over the edge last night – on about every level imaginable.

The troubled singer took her brand new Mercedes for a spin and ended up getting lost after a snapper told her of a “short cut” home through the Hollywood Hills.

Luckily the hoard of paparazzi trailing Brit were on hand to offer directions away from the cliff-edge.

Speaking in her bizarre English accent, a "dizzy" and "scared" mumbled over and over again, “I don’t like it,” before telling the surrounding paps to “Get the fuck away from me.”

And it wasn’t just her way that Brit appeared to have lost last night – as our pictures show, the pop mess seems to have had one ratty hair extension to many and was sporting several bald patches in her weave.
