BRITNEY DOESNT LOOK LIKE THIS

The Daily Mail follows up on a weekend report that Britney Spears was in fact, "digitally-slimmed down" for her latest video, "Piece of Me".

The 26-year-old appears much slimmer in the official video than a previous un-edited version, which was leaked onto the internet earlier this month. The promo, which cost a reported $500,000 (£247,000), was directed by Wayne Isham, who worked with Britney on her 2002 single I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.Isham praised Britney's efforts, saying: ""he was very professional, excited to work and beautiful as always.  I was impressed with her focus as she choreographed the dance herself."

It's not clear what the hell he's talking about because Britney doesn't even do anything.  She just stands there and shuffles back and forth and shakes her head and holds her hand up like a black woman arguing at a fast food counter.  I'm not entirely sure what the fuck that meant but I'll bet you dollars to donuts it was brilliant.
