"American Idol" winner and High Point native Fantasia Barrino was rushed to the hospital Monday after an overdose that is now being described by Charlotte police as an apparent suicide attempt.

She is currently in stable condition.

According to police reports, Fantasia tried to overdose on aspirin and sleeping pills at her Charlotte home. Police found her in a closet and she was rushed to Mercy South Hospital in Pineville.

Radar Online has posted a copy of the police report.

The Grammy-nominated star of "The Color Purple" has been involved in a bit of scandal lately, accused by the wife of a North Carolina man of having an affair with her husband and breaking up the marriage.

Updated: Fantasia has been released from a Charlotte Hospital. Also, the 911 call from TMZ and Fantasia talks about "second chances" just days before her overdose.
