Ravaged, pale and bloated - Britney Spears' chaotic life takes its toll

[Honey]

Bloated, pasty-faced and with greasy hair, this is the shocking extent of Britney Spears' downward spiral since losing custody of her two sons.



The 25-year-old former pop sensation wore a giant-sized pair of sunglasses on a shopping trip near her Malibu home yesterday - but they did little to disguise her ravaged features.
Her pallid complexion was bloated and spotty while her skin-tight jeans and transparent vest top exposing her black bra seemed to be straining at the seams.

And without a scrap of make-up, it was impossible to ignore the trout pout which has suddenly appeared since a visit to a cosmetic surgeon last month.
Miss Spears has been on a downward descent since the breakdown of her marriage to Kevin Federline last year.
After several months of hard partying she inexplicably and publicly shaved her head in February this year.
Several stints in rehab and an attempted comeback have failed to halt speculation she is on a self-destructive path.
Last month her erratic behaviour took its toll with a judge stripping her of the custody of her children Sean Preston, two and Jayden James, one.
After she failed to undergo drug tests ordered by the court, she was temporarily banned from even visiting them under supervision a fortnight ago.

When the ban was lifted, she marked the occasion this week by taking them out for a ride in a toy cart.
Britney, whose mothering skills were recently described as "chaotic" by her court appointed monitor, appeared distracted as she dragged her sons around the driveway and surrounding streets of her LA mansion.
But Miss Spears did not bother to change out of pyjamas and seemed more preoccupied with her mobile phone than entertaining the toddlers.
Today as she shopped for lamps for her home, her appearance seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.
Her greasy dyed blonde locks were scraped back from her face while she showed off a double chin.

Despite on ongoing bizarre behaviour, friends say she's desperate turn her life around.


Former N'Sync singer Lance Bass told People magazine: "I saw her last night. I went over to the house. It was great."

"I went over to see the kids, and you can tell she's really trying so hard to get herself back in order."

Last week, Britney hit back at criticism of her parenting, saying: "It's sad how people... how cruel our world can be.

"But at the end of the day you gotta to know in your heart that you are doing the best that you can."

While Britney's in the midst of a bitter custody battle, more court drama looms.

Johnny Wright, who managed Spears's career from 1999 to 2003, has launched legal action against the star.

Wright is suing her, claiming she owes him more than £7,200 in "back commission".


He said: "I didn't want to sue Britney. But she didn't leave me much choice."

"I have worked with Britney in some capacity since she was 15. She was always focused. She was good at what she did and a very hard worker."
He concluded: "It's disappointing to see how things have turned out."

NEVER, in a million years, would i have believed this was Britney Spears if someone had showed this picture to me like 5 years ago, when she was hot. She is on one hell of a downward spiral. Just looking at her is sickening.

And another thing: She supposedly goes tanning everyday--why is it that she NEVER GETS A TAN??!? She's as pasty-white as could be. It seems the only thing she gaining from the tanning sessions, is more moles on her chest!

She looks pretty bad but I don't think I'm speechless. The flashes from the camera tend to wash out tan skin. I take pictures and this is often a problem. That is why so many of them do the spray on thing.
She does seem to be getting her money's worth out of those boots. That's good to see. Poor kid.

[Rondette]

I'm beginning to think that there is some kind of emotional attachment thing going on with those boots. Do you think K-fed bought them for her or something??

[DitaPage*]

I wasn't expecting that; ughh.

[DoveFeatheredRaven]

I don't think the "bloat" is that bad. She does look like shit in most of those pics, hair and complexion wise but so would most celebs going out without hair and makeup. The difference is that Britney is followed rabidly wherever she goes. You would think she would just keep her ass at home.

[NicoleWasHere]

Bleh. No fucking wonder she went tanning.

[crackho]

On the positive side, at least she doesn't look like a strung out skeletal heroin junkie......

[darksithbunny]

It just keeps getting better.

[WhateverLolaWants]

BRAAAAAAINS, y'all.

LMFAO, Lola!

Seriously... I think that's about as much "Mommy and Me" time these two kids get, aside from trips to Taco Bell and Starbucks at 11 pm, and being left in the car while Twitney gets her photo taken.

[RevellingInSane]

She looks like a corpse.
