well hello everyone! below are the first pics of a new & improved britney spears out shopping in malibu over the weekend which are featured in STAR magazine this week! these are also the very same pics that caused a bit of blogger drama the other day…anyways did you hear how ms. spears is running a contest to try and boost the sales of hubby kevin federline‘s upcoming debut album playing with fire (which drops oct 31st – scary just like halloween!) he sure is going to need all the help he can get – poor ms. spears she used to be our pop princess and now she is hawking her hubby’s joke of an album – my how far people do fall! hopefully these pictures are a sign of some sorta planned comeback – i do try to remain positive when it comes to brit! popbytes over & out for now – xxoo!
