Britney Spears threatens to release video diaries

Britney Spears is threatening to release her video diaries, which chronicle her problems over the past six months.

The Toxic star is reportedly planning to release them online -- or on MTV.

Britney, who was involved in a minor traffic accident at the weekend, gives a horrifying insight into her state of mind in the intimate recordings.

As well as rants about her mom, dad, sister Jamie Lynn, and friends, the singer, 26, reveals intimate information about her ex, Justin Timberlake, and her rivalry with Christina Aguilera.

"Britney's video diaries are the talk of the Tinseltown elite," a source said. "Her high-profile friends and exes - including Justin - knew what she was up to but assumed she was filming herself as a form of therapy. If she does decide to go public with the footage, it'll be explosive.

"Although some of it is really sad to watch - especially the parts where she's close to breakdown - others are dynamite. Not surprisingly both JT and Kevin Federline are terrified the material will end up all over the net.

"Or, even worse, Britney will agree to another MTV documentary, and release some of the footage through official channels."
