Britney's family want her to quit Hollywood

Britney Spears' family are begging the troubled singer to quit Hollywood when she checks out of rehab.

Chanda McGovern, Britney's favourite aunt, wants the star to return to Kentwood, Louisiana before life in the spotlight kills her.

"Britney needs to sort her priorities out and quickly, before it is too late, otherwise she may end up dead. It is heartbreaking to go from knowing Britney as a child to seeing how she is now, with everything falling apart. It's sad," Chanda told the Daily Star Sunday. "It has all gone horribly wrong for Britney and I am truly terrified about what might happen to her.

"She needs to come on home to Louisiana, where people love Britney for Britney and they see past all of her fame and celebrity. Out in California, she can't go to the shops, the cinema or a restaurant without a camera in her face, or people watching her every move. She needs to bring her two sons back to Kentwood, where she can get all the love and support she needs."

Spears is expected to leave rehab this week to attend estranged husband Kevin Federline's birthday party.
