Will Britney have a Mariah meltdown?
 | | Britney Spears | Britney Spears' bizarre behavior only seems to escalate. With the added stress of her The Onyx Hotel tour, some worry the 22-year-old is headed for an emotional breakdown - just like the one Mariah Carey, then 31, notoriously suffered in a NYC hotel in July 2001.
Just last month, Britney broke down during a pre-interview for a national TV segment, says a source. "You could tell she was afraid of saying the wrong thing," says the source. "Britney didn't seem in control. She was being pushed around by the people with her. Then all of a sudden, she burst into tears."
Now touring, "Britney is canceling dates in cities where she's not sold out, I think because she's too embarrassed to perform in half-empty venues," says another source. "She wasn't prepared to start this tour, emotionally and physically. I'm afraid for her. Justin Timberlake told me he's worried about her, too."
Britney's rep declined to comment on her mental state, but more may come: A source says Britney is thinking about posing nude for Playboy. Though the magazine didn't return calls for comment, the source says, "It's in the works. Britney wants to shed her good-girl image completely." (Star Magazine)
