Britney Spears Suicide Hell 'Exposed' In New Book

Britney Spears twice attempted to kill herself, according to a new book about the troubled star.

Journalist Ian Halperin has penned a 'tell-all' expose after spending 18 months as an undercover paparazzo trying to get close to the troubled singer.

"The suicide attempts are true. I know all the details about both of them," he tells Life & Style.

A Spears family insider supports Halperin's claims, confirming that Britney threatened suicide many times during the time Halperin was investigating her - from November 2006 until last month.
