Britney Spears‘ life has been relatively quiet — until now. E! News is reporting that the former pop princess has been getting numerous threats in the mail, including letters and packages.
A source close to the singer says the disturbing correspondence reportedly includes one letter mentioning "how to bomb" and other "weird gibberish." The threats have become so severe, the source says, that Britney’s fam has decided to turn everything over to law enforcement.
"To be safe, her security team is turning it all over to the police and FBI," a friend of the singer said. "A lot of it was disturbing stalker kind of stuff."
A rep for the LAPD would not elaborate but did say that they "have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months."
The threatening letters and packages were reportedly sent to multiple addresses linked to Britney.
On Friday a spokesperson for the FBI said the LAPD could not comment on ongoing investigations.

David Copperfield is being investigated by the FBI for possible sexual misconduct, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
FBI raided the 51-year-old magician’s warehouse Wednesday night after a sexual misconduct claim was alleged against him, according to a source.
The alleged sexual activity occurred outside the country, but fell into the FBI’s lap because the accuser is a U.S. citizen, the source reveals.
David’s lawyer, David Chesnoff, confirms the investigation.
“If in fact those are the allegations, unfortunately false allegations are all too often made against famous individuals,” he says. “But we are confident the investigation will conclude favorably.”
Per reports, FBI seized a computer hard drive, digital camera system, and nearly $2 million in cash. Robbie Burroughs, spokeswoman for the Seattle division of the FBI, confirms the raid.
“The only thing we’re confirming right now is that there was some investigative activity in the Las Vegas area yesterday connected with a Seattle-area case, both of which are pending.”
