Britney 'was free from drugs'

Britney's night of hell may not have been the drug-fuelled, wild 'n' wailing drama that pictures and reports suggested after claims that the singer tested clean.

A hospital source at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles insists, 'She tested clean,' US People magazine reports today.

'This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time' the insider added.

The defence of the fallen pop star follows widespread reports that the teary and bleary eyed singer had binged on a cocktail of 100 drugs, during the four-hour police standoff at her Beverly Hills home last Thursday.

Police at the time of the siege said the singer appeared to be 'under the influence.'

Further shocking claims claimed the singer was holed-up in her master bedroom accompanied by her one-year-old son, Jayden James and a gun, threatening to kill herself.

But now, LADP from the scene said there was no gun.

'There was no gun involved - that's the first we've heard of this,' a police officer said today.

It has also been revealed that the 26-year-old did not beg to see TV celeb doctor 'Dr Phil' McGraw but rather it was her fame-hungry mother, Lynne Spears, who asked the doctor to visit her.

'I want to set the record straight. I went to see Britney at the request of her family. I talked to Lynne, [father] Jamie and [brother] Brian because they were frustrated that she wasn't going to be held for a longer time,' said the doctor on US TV.

Meanwhile, Britney's certainly not sticking around to clean up the mess after skipping town with her British paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib.

Eyewitnesses say Britney is doing what she does best, by drinking away her woes after the pair were reportedly spotted boozing at the Daily Grill on El Paseo, near Palm Springs just hours after her hospital release.
