Mother insists Lindsay Lohan is not leaving rehab

Lindsay Lohan's mother insists the troubled actress is not coming out of rehab, despite reports she is due to finish her treatment this weekend.

Dina Lohan, who has just visited Lindsay at the Cirque Lodge clinic in Utah, denied she'll be making a comeback to the Los Angeles scene.

In an email message to Access Hollywood, Dina wrote: "Not true, staying in Utah." Lindsay, who was yesterday spotted outside the facility smoking and listening to music, checked into the centre in early August following her arrest on July 24 after she crashed her car in Santa Monica. She was in possession of cocaine when she was taken into custody.

It marks her third stint in rehab this year after previous visits to the Wonderland and Promises facilities in Los Angeles.



Dina, Lindsay's siblings Cody and Ali and her formerly estranged father Michael have all visited the actress since she began her latest stint. Despite Lindsay's time at the facility, she has still managed to make headlines.

Her publicist this week denined allegations she was involved in the marriage breakdown of her fellow rehab patient Tony Allen and his wife Stephanie.

Her spokesperson told Us magazine: "Lindsay and Tony are friends and that's all. They are supporting one another through a similar experience. This is a friendship based on trust and mutual support and nothing else."

Why is Britney Spears wearing an engagement ring?

Troubled former pop star Britney Spears raised eyebrows yesterday when she stepped out wearing a large sparkling ring on her wedding finger.

But if there is a new man in the 25-year-old's life, he sure is keeping a low profile.

The mother of two, who was briefly linked to magician Criss Angel prior to her disastrous performance at the MTV Awards, made it a girls day out yesterday, visiting a Mexican restaurant with a female companion and later stopping in at a recording studio.
A night earlier she puzzled onlookers with an emergency midnight dash - to a tanning salon.

Controversy has engulfed Britney's personal and professional life in recent times.

Earlier this month, a LA judge presiding over her custody battle with ex husband Kevin Federline ruled that Britney is a "habitual, frequent and continuous" user of alcohol and controlled substances, demanding she take random twice-weekly testing.



Her former bodyguard Tony Barretto also spoke out about her behaviour, claiming he had twice seen her taking drugs while at LA nightclubs. He said: "She had me hold up a curtain, to make her area private."


Quizzed about the star, he said: "I have never seen her use drugs in the presence of her children. Alcohol? I don't know if 'abuse' is the correct language. I have seen her use alcohol."

Barretto, who says he is concerned about the safety of Britney's sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, concluded: "Britney doesn't listen to nobody. I mean, that's apparent."

Simon Cowell Defends Britney Spears

Britney Spears has one unlikely ally in her comeback struggle: Simon Cowell.

Mr. Nasty is telling “Extra” that he actually likes the troubled pop star – and that she might be making all the right moves!

“She’s all over the news, she gets more publicity that the entire Hot 100 combined, so maybe she’s doing everything right and everyone else is getting it wrong,” he confessed to “Extra.”

The “American Idol” judge also says folks should cut Britney some slack for what the pop star goes through.

He’s shrugging off her bizarre bathroom encounter with a paparazzo this week, in which she invited him inside, saying, “They follow her everywhere, so they might as well go into the loo with her.”

He admitted he’s standing up for Britney “a little bit,” adding, “I actually like her. I think she’s interesting.”

But there is one thing Simon would change for Britney.

About her single, “Gimme More,” Simon quipped, “Change the ‘more’ to ‘less.’”

Paris Hilton planning humanitarian trip to Rwanda

Paris Hilton has vowed to keep her post-prison promise of devoting time to worthy causes and will demonstrate her commitment with a trip to Rwanda later this year.


The celebrity socialite told the on Wednesday that she is aiming to visit the war-torn central African nation in November after completing work on her latest film.

"I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie," Hilton said. "There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help."

It was not clear which organization was helping arrange Hilton's trip, but the hotel heiress said she is planning to do more humanitarian work in future.

"I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," the 26-year-old socialite said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."

Hilton was in June jailed for violating probation over an alcohol-related reckless driving conviction. She emerged from prison declaring that incarceration had changed her and that she planned to "grow up."

Lawyers Meet Privately in Britney Spears Custody Dispute

Attorneys for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were back in court Monday in an ongoing custody dispute involving the pair's children.

Federline's lawyer, Mark V. Kaplan, said the unscheduled court session was called to "refine certain areas" of a judge's previous order in the case. He would not elaborate.

Spears' attorney, Sorrell Trope, confirmed in a telephone interview that the hearing involved issues related to the custody case. He declined to comment further.

The court hearing came days after city prosecutors charged Spears with misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license, claiming she smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August.

Kaplan said he does not expect the filing of the misdemeanor charges last week to have any impact on the upcoming hearing dates on Federline's request to increase his custody time with the former couple's two young sons. They divide time with the children equally.

The first hearing date is Nov. 26, but the second date has been delayed from Dec. 18 to early January, Kaplan said.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, who held Monday's in-chambers session with the lawyers, is presiding over the custody dispute. He issued orders last week directing Spears to undergo random testing twice a week after finding she is involved in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol."

If convicted on the driving changes, Spears could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count. Authorities said the accident occurred Aug. 6, when she was filmed by paparazzi steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a parking lot. Spears was scheduled to be arraigned in that case Oct. 10, but she is not required to appear.

Spears, 25, and ex-husband Federline, 29, are the parents of Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

Who Is Paris Hilton's New Boy Toy?

Who’s the new man that Paris Hilton’s been pictured with over the past week?

According to the New York Post, his name is Alex Vaggo, and he’s a 22-year-old Swedish tourist who just happened to be in the right place at the right time!

The Post’s source says that Paris met the hot foreigner on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood.

The source tells the Post, “The hostel is $27 a night and they shove in six people to a room. But in the morning there are all the pancakes you can eat. Our friend introduced him to Paris and she immediately took a liking to him. He’s very hot. He’s living much better now.”

Paris’ rep tells the Post, “They are just friends.”

The Post also writes that the heiress is reportedly introducing Vaggo around to Ford Model scouts this week.

For a while in late summer, Paris had been seen out with ex-flame Stavros Niarchos, although the two haven’t been photographed together recently. Vaggo is not the first new man that she’s been linked to since her release from jail. In July, she was seen cuddling with 21-year-old Australian clothing entrepreneur Tyler Atkins in Malibu.

Last night, Paris showed up at an amfAR benefit in New York.

Britney Spears uses asthma inhaler to lose weight

Britney Spears is reportedly using an asthma inhaler in a bid to lose weight.

The troubled singer, who does not suffer from the respiratory illness, is allegedly puffing on the medical aid to suppress her appetite.

A source told Us Weekly magazine, "Britney doesn’t have asthma. She’s using the chemical epinephrine, found in asthma medications, as an appetite suppressant.”

Friends are extremely concerned about her reported use of the inhalers as Australian cover girl Krissy Taylor died from using a similar weight loss method.

The 17-year-old model, who had appeared in Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Elle magazines, suffered a fatal heart attack after using an inhaler to control her appetite.

Medics warn side effects include headaches, dizziness, nausea and an irregular heartbeat.

Britney – whose figure was criticized after her performance at the MTV Video Music awards, in which she wore a sparkly bra and hotpants – has told pals she will “do anything” to lose weight.

Meanwhile, Britney’s former bodyguard has claimed the 25-year-old star made him hold a curtain around her table as she took drugs in a nightclub.

Tony Barretto – who was fired by the ‘Toxic’ singer in May – claims he saw the mother-of-two take illegal substances on at least two occasions.

He said, "One incident happened at her table. And she had me hold a curtain to make her area private and at one point it was getting kind of hard to continue to hold the curtain for such a long period of time, so I looked over and to get her approval to let go of the curtain, at which point I noticed what she was doing.”

However, Barretto insists he never saw Britney take drugs in front of her two sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.

This week, Barretto made sensational claims about Britney’s wild lifestyle. He once feared she had suffered an overdose after finding her “completely out of it” in a hotel room and alleges she took various drugs, including cocaine and cannabis, while he was working for her.

Dave Grohl slams Paris Hilton

The Foo Fighters frontman reportedly also told London's The Sun newspaper: "Paris is f--king lame."

Grohl and Hilton reportedly fell out after meeting in a restaurant years ago, when the singer claims the millionaire heiress put on "the full princess attitude with the nose in the air."

Consequently, he concluded: "I pray that my daughter will not turn out like her."

Lohan to Quit Hollywood?

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has vowed to quit Hollywood in an attempt to stay clean from drugs, according to her father.

Michael Lohan reunited with his daughter earlier this month in Utah, where the Mean Girls star is seeking counseling at the Cirque Lodge treatment center.

He says, "When we finally came face to face we just clung on to each other and did not stop crying for at least half an hour.

"Lindsay said, 'Daddy, I have done some terrible things and been addicted to drugs, but please believe me, I will never do drugs again. I hate Hollywood and I don't want to work there. I need a break and I am moving away. I will stop hanging around with the people that are bad for me.'

"She said she does not want to live in Hollywood, as that is where the evil in her life happens."

The pair hasn’t seen each other since Michael went to prison in New York after he was found guilty of driving while intoxicated and other charges two years ago.

Socialite Paris Hilton has denied reports that she is to adopt four blonde babies.

In a recent interview, the hotel heiress revealed that at the moment, kids were not on her priority list.

"Someone just said that I'm adopting four blonde babies. That's retarded. No, I'm not," People quoted her, as saying.

Hilton also said that she's stepping up her acting by working with acting coach Ivana Chubbuck for her upcoming movie Repo! The Genetic Opera.

"This is my first time that I've actually taken it seriously. Before, I was just doing it for fun, not really paying attention - not even studying my lines. But this time, I'm serious about it," she said.

"I really tried hard to get this role. I rehearsed. I was the best at the audition. I got this part because I deserved it, and I'm going to make sure I do the best job ever," she added.

Lindsay Lohan's rehab friend denies romance

The former Cirque Lodge rehab patient who had been linked to Lindsay Lohan is denying rumours that the two were ever romantically involved.

'That is against the rules,' Tony Allen told people.com. 'She is my friend.'

Allen, who recently completed a stint at the Utah rehab facility where Lohan has been undergoing treatment, said the actress is 'happy' and that she 'feels better about herself'.

'There's no cycle of guilt or shame anymore,' said Allen.

'She wants to give back to her fans and the people that care about her, and she wants to be able to share her many talents. She's very focussed on recovery right now,' he said.

Lohan befriended Allen, a member of the Atlanta-based band Dead Stays Alive, during his 45-day stay at the Cirque Lodge. Their shared love of music 'was some common ground that first initiated our friendship', Allen said.

Last month, the two were photographed hiking and white water rafting - activities that are part of Cirque's treatment programme.

Allen said the two have still been in touch since he left the facility on Aug 24. Since then, he has been working on his first record with band mate Scott Mikell and he wishes Lohan all the best.

'I hope she gets as much out of this life as she could ever want,' he said.

'Finding an inner peace is very, very important part of recovery, so I do wish those things for her,' Allen said.

Britney Spears to Appear at Primetime Emmys?

Britney on her poor performance

Britney Spears is in talks to appear at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday--just one week after her poor performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, according to reports.

The troubled pop star took to the stage at the Las Vegas awards ceremony on Sept. 9 to perform her new song, "Gimme More"--but her set was panned by critics and celebrities alike.

And the 25-year-old is now looking to get her reputation and career back on track--by addressing her lackluster MTV comeback at the Primetime Emmys.

Spearsis said to be "in negotiations" with TV network Fox to put in an appearance on the show, although nothing has been agreed upon just yet.

A source at Fox tells Usmagazine.com, "The idea is to have her come on and apologize for the VMAs. She's weighing the offer."

Another source close to Spears adds, "I can't say this is 100 percent not true. All I can say is that the Emmy people aren't dealing with her record company, her manager or her agents at William Morris. So if she is doing anything for the Emmys then it's not going through the official channels."

The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles on Sunday.

Paris Hilton To Adopt Four Girls

Paris Hilton And Her friends Night Life

Paris Hilton lately is quiet unpredictable. After she announced that she is ready to have kids, moreover she wants to get marry, here comes the next Hilton-shock.

Maybe this action was stimulated by her friend Nicole Richie, or maybe not, but Paris is sure in what she wants.

And by the time she will have her own kids, Paris Hilton has revealed that she would like to adopt four blonde girls.

A source close to the heiress has reported that "Paris has been saying, 'You don't need a husband to have babies.' There are babies in orphanages around the world, and she's hoping to find four girls with blond hair and pretty eyes to whom to give the Hilton name".

The source also said that "she's been telling people, “I want a brood of little mini versions of me. I'll raise them to be the most famous women in the world". Famous like was Paris, or with a new moral motivation?

The four little blondes with pink hairbands, tiny pet Chihuahuas and no musical talent is going to look a little scary. Maybe this is just another fad of Paris, who knows?

Britney Spears To Apologize?

Britney Spears is in talks to apologize for her MTV Video Music Awards disaster at the Emmys.

The 'Gimme More' singer is reportedly hoping to redeem herself after her flop performance Sept. 9 at the US TV awards ceremony this Sunday.

An Emmys insider said, "Britney is in negotiations to appear at the ceremony, but nothing is confirmed. The idea is to have her come on and apologize for the VMAs. She's weighing up the offer.

A source close to the 25-year-old singer told Us Weekly magazine, "I can't say this is 100 percent not true. All I can say is that the Emmy people aren't dealing with her record company, her manager or her agents at William Morris. So if she is doing anything for the Emmys then it's not going through the official channels."

Meanwhile, it has been claimed Britney was pushed into her heavily criticised VMAs appearance by her entertainment lawyer Gary Stiffelman.

Reports claim the 'Toxic' singer was reluctant to perform, saying she wasn't ready, but Stiffelman insisted it would be great publicity for her new album due to be released on November 13.

Britney reportedly drowned her sorrows after her onstage catastrophe.

The pop star allegedly partied and downed shots with P. Diddy at his private suite located in the Fantasy Tower of Las Vegas' Palms Hotel until 7 a.m.

A source said, "She couldn't stand.

"Diddy's people had to get her back to her room as discreetly as possible so nobody would see what state she was in."

A representative for Diddy denies the claims, saying, "She stopped by the party for a while. He offered her a drink, which she refused, she drank water instead. She was not there until 7 a.m."

Cowell and 'Idol' Judges Offer to Save Britney

Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul

Music mogul Simon Cowell and his fellow American Idol judges have offered to help save Britney Spears' career--if she'll dump her entourage and take advice from them.

Cowell, former pop star Paula Abdul and producer Randy Jackson admit they were horrified by the troubled pop superstar's awful performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, and they want to help Spears get her career back on track.

And he insists he knows exactly what needs to be done to revamp the pop singer's chart-topping career.

He adds, "Keep her away from her stupid friends (and) buy her some underwear."

Speaking at the San Diego auditions for the next American Idol contest, Jackson added, "We are going to manage Britney, we're gonna take good care of her... Britney, if you're listening, we're here for you."

Paris Hilton sues cardmakers

If only she were hanging her head in shame- Paris Hilton is in the news once again for suing the Hallmark company for using her trademarked phrase "That's hot" in a card.

Well, it seems Paris Hilton is at it again with her latest stupid stunt. According to the Web site, starmagazine.com, Hilton is now suing Hallmark Cards, Inc.

The heiress has reportedly filed a suit claiming the company has used her likeness, as well as her signature phrase, "That's hot," without her consent.

You have to wonder how someone like this is even able to get up and get dressed in the morning without any help, when they are clearly incompetent. Paris, hello!

There are such things as fair use laws! This means that companies such as Hallmark can use parodies such as, "That's hot" without Hilton's consent, even if she does have it copyrighted.Besides, I'm sure more than just Hilton have used that phrase before.

That's hot, two words that are clearly common in the English language, and would just be absurd to have said together. I don't know if Hilton knows this or not, but when you use a phrase over and over again it doesn't make it yours, it just makes you redundant.

The lawsuit was filed on Sept. 6, and is seeking unspecified damages. Well, what could she get out of this? That nobody from now until the end of time is allowed to use her phrase?

It's people like her who think they are trend setters that really just make America as a whole just seem ridiculous.

Paris Hilton employs zoo keeper

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has so many pets she has to employ a zoo keeper to look after them all.

The socialite has a menagerie of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits and monkeys, and she allows most of them to roam free around her house.

Due to her busy schedule, Paris has a keeper who cares for her beloved beasts when she is away from them.

She told Elle magazine: "My animals make me really happy. I just love my pets. I have 11 dogs, three ferrets, two rabbits, two monkeys and three cats.

"The monkeys and ferrets are at my ranch, but the dogs and cats and bunnies run around my house. I have this guy, Eric, who's like a zoo keeper, and he's with them all the time. He loves them, and I love them, too. But since I work a lot I'm not always home."

Paris got into trouble with California's animal authorities when she bought a kinkajou during a trip to Las Vegas in 2005.

The 26-year-old star was eventually forced to give up the racoon-like pet, which she named Baby Luv, after it was deemed to be illegal to own as a pet.

The same year, Paris was also allegedly forced to return a baby kangaroo after having it flown to the US from Queensland, Australia.

Her pets include a Rottweiler called Tyson, Rascal the Ferret and her famous Chihuahuas Tinkerbell and Bambi.

Lindsay Lohan looked healthy in gym gear at a Utah clinic - as a driver was given the go-ahead to sue her over a road smash.

Raymundo Ortega claims Lohan, 21, was drunk when her Mercedes hit his van in 2005, but police concluded she was sober.

Mr Ortega's lawyer, Robert G Klein, said outside court in Los Angeles: "This case is about responsibility and she's not taking responsibility".

Lohan's lawyer, David J. Ozeran, said there was no evidence that Lohan was intoxicated.

Paris Hilton Outs Christina Aguilera: ‘The Most Beautiful Pregnant Woman’

Christina Aguilera

Depending on who you talk to, pop star Christina Aguilera is anywhere between two and five months pregnant—unless, of course, you talk to the mama to be herself, in which case she’ll respond with a simple, ‘No comment’.

She may need to work up a new response after this weekend’s Video Music Awards, at which socialite Paris Hilton outed Aguilera, calling her “the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world” in front of a crowd full of people, according to People Magazine.

Most women would take it as a compliment—unless of course you’re also pregnant Nicole Richie, Hilton’s one time BFF—but Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman looked stunned. The two have yet to confirm Aguilera’s pregnancy.

According to E! Online, Aguilera and Bratman quickly recovered, sharing a laugh after and even paling around with Hilton, who was filmed touching Aguilera’s belly and smiling. Aguilera attended most of the VMA’s events in lose fitting clothing, a notable change from her traditional belly-baring attire.

Word of Aguilera’s alleged pregnancy began to spread in late July when the popstar was photographed out on the town on several occasions drinking water instead of alcohol. Aguilera was also photographed leaving numerous doctors appointments, including a visit with a top fertility specialist.

Aguilera had to halt her 'Back to Basics' World Tour in August in Australia when folks from her camp said the doctor ordered Aguilera to rest to recover from an undisclosed illness.

Britney Cried over VMAs Performance

Pop star Britney Spears was "inconsolable" after watching her widely criticized comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, it has been alleged.

Spears kicked off proceedings at the Las Vegas event on Sunday with her new single "Gimme More."

But the performance was viewed by many as a disaster--not the least, it seems, by the troubled star herself.

A backstage source tells Us Weekly, "She was able to see video of herself throughout the auditorium. She flipped out. She came running off the stage, yelling, 'Oh, my God, I looked like a fat pig! I looked like a fat pig!' She was inconsolable."

Fergie Blasts Spears' Critics

Singer Fergie has blasted Britney Spears' critics following her lackluster performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, insisting they should leave her alone.

The Black Eyed Peas star believes Spears and her troubled actress pal Lindsay Lohan are still a vulnerable target for the media despite trying to seek help for their troubles.

She says, "They're young. Leave them alone. If they want to get better, they're going to get better on their own. If somebody is going to change, they have to want to do it themselves.

"I think it is really unfair to them when they are trying to get help. We're all watching as a nation and commenting day by day on their rehabilitation. It's not fair. You're supposed to have a sanctuary, a place where you can go and not be pressured every day."

Spears and Lohan have both spent time in rehab.

'Paris works so hard,' says Kathy Hilton

Paris Hilton's mum Kathy Hilton has claimed that her celeb daughter is extremely hardworking.

The socialite's mum said that her daughter works so hard that she has to remind her to take a break.

"Paris works so hard. I always say, Paris, you also have to stop now and again and smell the roses," Contactmusic quoted Kathy Hilton, as telling German newspaper 'Die Wielt'.

In the interview to the publication, she also said that the Simple Life star's case was mishandled, for no one was punished the way she was.

"You simply don't get behind the wheel when you have even had just a bit to drink. That is totally irresponsible. I agree with that. I do criticise how Paris' case was handled though," she said..

"That was not about the law, the prosecutor even admitted that. His own wife drove twice without a licence and even smashed up a car. No, of 2000 cases that were like Paris', no one was punished like she was," Kathy added.



Kathy also refuted claims that Paris is a spoiled brat and insisted that she has always been a 'tough mother'.

"When Paris disobeyed us, we would first confiscate her mobile phone - practically her life. Second time it would be disconnected, for a month or so. Mothers are mothers, annoying. Perhaps I was too strict with Paris," she said.

"She was cheeky but never spoiled like it's always written...we never sued and so this myth grew larger and larger."

"I am very strict. I call my daughter up and say, 'That is enough now, stop, I don't want to hear any more. You better stay home.'"

"Of course I worry. That is why I nag just like all mothers."

Judge Refuses To Dismiss Lawsuit Against Lindsay Lohan

A judge Tuesday refused to dismiss portions of a lawsuit against the 21-year-old actress over an October 2005 accident in which her Mercedes-Benz collided with a van.

Superior Court Judge Michael L. Stern rejected a motion that argued the lawsuit lacked legal sufficiency, and set April 7 for the trial.

The California Highway Patrol concluded that Raymundo Ortega, a busboy, caused the accident by making an illegal U-turn, but he sued Lohan and is seeking at least $200,000 in damages.

Ortega was knocked out in the crash, said his attorney, Robert G. Klein.

Lohan and a female passenger sustained minor injuries.

Ortega's suit contends that Lohan was fleeing paparazzi and was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

"This case is about responsibility and she's not taking responsibility," Klein said outside court.

Lohan's attorney, David J. Ozeran, said outside court that there was no evidence that Lohan was intoxicated.

Last month, Lohan agreed to spend a day in jail and complete a drug treatment program after pleading guilty or no contest to misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges stemming from arrests earlier this year in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica.

A source said: "50 played a few songs and then made straight for Paris. She was laughing and unashamedly flirting and couldn't keep her hands of him. He nuzzled up to her and they cuddled."

The couple have been romantically linked once before when Paris, 26, was said to have spent the night with the 31-year-old hip-hop star at last year's Cannes Film Festival.

The Simple Life star has previously confessed to having a crush on 50.

She said: "He's so cool. He's really funny and he's so cute too, and I love his music. I think he would be the best boyfriend a girl could wish for!"

In return, 50 gave Paris a mention in his track Turn Da Lights Off telling her to call him up for a date.

Last week, Paris revealed she has set herself a deadline to be married and pregnant by next year.

Britney Caught Out Panty-Less...Again!!

Britney Spears has shocked again, flashing her panty-less private parts at a paparazzi photographer after her performance at Sunday night's MTV Video Music Awards.

Spears exposed herself while stepping into an awaiting limousine after leaving Las Vegas' Bellagio hotel, where she partied with brother Bryan after her embarrassing awards show performance.

And while she was mocked for hitting the VMAs stage in just her undies, she made headlines for taking them off later--when she was caught without her pants by a WENN photographer.

It's not the first time Spears has been caught without underwear--in November of last year Britney revealed all to a photographer during a night out with party pal Paris Hilton, just two months after giving birth to her second child, Jayden James.

Spears' gaffe came just hours after she disappointed the VMA audience with a disjointed and critically panned comeback performance of her new single "Gimme More"--her first major public appearance in four years.

A bystander tells WENN, "What is she thinking? She's a mother of two and here she is flashing her goods to the world!"
