Sources close to wild-living singer Britney Spears have now said that she took a number of anti-depressant pills just minutes before taking the stage at this week’s MTV VMA Awards. Onlookers were aghast when she performed a dance routine onstage at the glitzy Las Vegas show but barely seemed to know what she was doing.
According to the source, the singer was nervous about her comeback performance and flew into a rage when she saw what her hair looked like in a mirror, causing her to lash out at staff, including hairdresser Ken Paves.
Apparently this is when Britney took the pills–which were designed to relax her, but maybe in this instance were a little more than she needed.
