Singer fakes British accent during 'sanity test'

Britney Spears apparently pretended she was a Brummie when doctors tested her sanity at a mental hospital, it is reported in The Daily Star today (January 9).

The singer mimicked new boyfriend Adnan Ghalic's Birmingham accent as medics investigated her recent meltdown, after she kidnapped her two boys, it has been claimed.

According to repprts, Spears spent two days spouting bizarre British rants to doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

A hospital source explained, "it was bizarre, Britney thought she was British and kept the voice up for much of her stay."

Meanwhile, Ghalic - a photographer - has allegedly been touting "exclusive" pictures of the singer in a bid to earn them a fortune.
