PILL POPPING BRITNEY SPEARS

Britney Spears has reportedly turned to medication to help her get through her split from Kevin Federline. The 25-year-old singer, who filed for divorce last month, has been seen carrying several types of anti-depressants in her hand bag. On November 27 Britney dined at Dan Tana's restaurant in West Hollywood -where she was also spotted carrying a glass of red wine out to her car before taking the wheel - and during a visit to the powder room a fellow diner caught a glimpse inside her handbag. The source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "It looked like a pharmacy in there - I have never seen so many pills."There was a bottle of Paxil, an anti depressant, and a bottle of Xanax, which treats anxiety, that she took out and put on the counter."The directions for both these drugs state they should not be mixed with alcohol. Britney - mother to Sean Preston and Jayden James - has now promised to curb her hard partying and apologised to her fans. In a statement on her official website, Britney said: "I probably did take my new found freedom a little too far. Anyway, thank God for Victoria's Secrets new underwear line!"It's been so long since I've been out on the town with friends. Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I expected."I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me. I'm just getting started!"
