More of Britney than we need to see

As just about everyone in the free world must know by now (even if they don't want or need to know), fading pop diva Britney Spears doesn't wear panties when she goes out on the town and, thanks to her willingness to flash the paparazzi, she shaves her pubes.

Reports Erin Carlson of The Associated Press:

Britney Spears is behaving more like her soon to be ex-husband, Kevin Federline, than a pop princess on the verge of a career comeback.

Fresh from her split from the club-hopping Federline, Spears looked hip and wholesome weeks ago in a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show and while ice skating in New York's Rockefeller Center in a Gap sweater. But now she's unleashing her inner wild child, running around with party girls Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, sporting unflattering hair extensions and flashing her apparently panty-less crotch to the paparazzi. (Be prepared to cringe if you dare view the uncensored photos, splashed across the Web).

"She's a beautiful girl and now that she's single and she's having fun, I think she's just trying to express herself," said celebrity image consultant Amanda Sanders. "Unfortunately, it's the wrong message that's coming across. And the shame is she was really such a role model."

Reuters also found it newsworthy:

Her necklines have plunged, she's plying the all-night party circuit with new best pal Paris Hilton, and she has even ditched her panties.

As if to prove, as she once sang, that she really is "not that innocent," newly separated pop star and mother of two Britney Spears is letting it all hang out -- shocking her fans, causing concern among friends and making herself the butt of jokes on late-night TV.

"Girls Gone Wild!" Us Weekly magazine blared in its cover story this week, charting a manic two weeks in which Spears was seen gambling all night in Las Vegas, spent time nightclubbing and shopping with "celebutante" Hilton, and was photographed on several occasions climbing in and out of cars without panties.

Must be that little girl thing she tried so hard to portray as a teen pop idol. But Britney's a mom now and mammas shouldn't be flashing their shaved crotches for all the world to see.

Her soon-to-be ex husband Kevin Federline says he may use Britney's willingness to let us see all as grounds to gain custody of their two kids.

Otherwise, they may be asking: "Mommy, what is that thing between your legs?"
