Britney Spears had to be rushed to hospital after treading on a hypodermic needle.
The pop babe - who is on holiday in Hawaii - had stepped out of her carwithout shoes on when she trod on the needle in a parking lot.
The panic-stricken star was taken to Hawaii State Hospital, but tests showed the needle was unused.
A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Britney isgoing to be fine. She's got a nasty cut but it's been disinfected and dressed and she's been released from hospital. It was more the shock of seeing the needle poking out of her foot - as you can imagine. All sorts of things race through your mind in that situation. The conclusion we would all jump to is that it was discarded by a drug user. Britney was distraught but brave."
Meanwhile, the singer is said to be expecting her second baby just fivemonths after having son Sean Preston. The star - who has been at the center of weeks of pregnancy rumors - allegedly wanted to keep the happy news a secret until she revealed it on her website.
A source revealed: "Britney is being really secretive, but she's excitedthat Sean will have a little playmate soon."
