Now Britney Spears has an incentive to take panty-free pics: she can get paid for it. But on one condition: she has to get some help for her bizarre behavior.
Pop Tarts has learned that the Britster wasn’t rejected by Playboy as many outlets have reported, and Hugh Hefner himself wants nothing more than to help her get her clothes off — but there's a catch.
“Hef has said that he is more than happy to feature Britney in the magazine once she can put herself back on the road to recovery,” said a rep for Playboy.
However, Pop Tarts finally has a reason why Britney so often parades and parties without panties.
A source in the style and wardrobe world who has worked extensively with Spears says she used to sometimes suffer spots and soreness from her cotton coverings.
"Britney has sensitive skin all over. We tried lots of different materials, but sometimes she would get a bit of a reaction, which naturally is very uncomfortable," said our source. "Especially when she would be on stage under the hot lights performing, all that sweating makes things worse."
That doesn't mean we should forgive the Britster for flashing too much flesh — our insider adds that "she should at least wear longer dresses or pants or something."
But nobody can put the Brit Brit in the corner and make her do as she is told, not even the judge in her custody case.
Word on the street is that Spears called the legal lord an "old fart," which is obviously a very intelligent means of regaining custody of her little ones.
Meanwhile, former *NSYNC star Lance Bass has tried reaching out to the Mouseketeer melodist (even admitting she was the first one he "came out to" to try and make her feel better after her annulled Vegas wedding), but his hand of help has been brushed off by Brit Brit.
And with her right to visit her sons temporarily suspended until she complies with court orders (such as regular drug testing and parental coaching classes — Britney was reportedly MIA Thursday night when a parent coach showed up at her house) all the stress seemed to be weighing on Spears Thursday when she turned on her pals the paparazzi.
The pop shtick spent the morning soaking in some UV rays at Sunset Tan, but snapped at the snappers while coming down the stairs.
"She was yelling at them to leave her alone," a Sunset staffer told Pop Tarts. "We helped her out — they were just everywhere. All over the streets like a pack of rats."
Later in the day, only hours after losing her child-visitation rights, the troubled pop star appears to have run over a TMZ photographer's foot with her car.
A video posted on TMZ.com shows that Brit Brit was driving with one hand covering her mouth through a patch of paparazzi when her banged-up Benz tussled with some TMZ toes.
Eyewitnesses said the songstress seemed stunned but didn't stop to assist her pap pal.
Spears was reportedly driving out of a Beverly Hills medical building, and appears to have been covering her mouth to hide newly blown-out lips.
But in spite of all the wacky behavior we have come to expect from the loony lyricist, we must remember that Spears has a soul that has been torn in two.
The words to a song entitled "Why Should I Be Sad" on her upcoming album "Blackout" (to be released on Oct. 30) reportedly recalls the ruptured romance between her and K-Fed.
Although the song was written and composed by music mogul Pharrell Williams and not the pop princess herself, the personalized lyrics launch into the pain of having "other women" mess up their marriage.
"It just seemed that Vegas/Only brought the playa out of you," the songstress sings.
