We all knew Britney Spears had an aversion to underpants, but outrageous claims coming out of the US suggest the pop wreck took her panty aversion to the limit recently by allegedly stripping off in a shop full of customers.
According to an online report by Us Magazine, Spears stunned browsers of a Hustler store in West Hollywood on Sunset Boulevade when she allegedly took off her clothes to change into a pair of underwear right in the middle of the shop.
Us says the incident happened shortly before 1am on November 18.
Naughty panties
Spears reportedly stocked up on naughty panties and headed to the fitting rooms. But shop employees “told her they don’t allow people to try on underwear,” a source at the scene says. “She was really upset.
“She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes.”
Us reports that “At that point, Spears threw a fit, and took off her own underwear before trying on a pair of boyshorts (with ‘Barely Legal’ stitched across the rear end) in the middle of the store while 15 other customers looked on.”
An eyewitness told Us, “The employees kept saying ‘Don’t change out here!’ She’s just like, ‘Well, I couldn’t take them in the fitting room!’ It was like dealing with a child.
“The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card,”
Britney wigs out
Us adds, “on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!”
Britney Spears has shocked observers before. She once stripped down to her underwear with her then assistant Shannon Funk and went swimming while showing off for the paparazzi.
Dog addicted to eating panties

Taffy, an 18-month-old springer spaniel who lives with owners Eubie and Sharon Saayman in Staffordshire, northern England, underwent an operation to remove the 40th pair of knickers he had scoffed.
Taffy’s owners told the BBC and The Sun newspaper their dog seemed to be in pain after eating something.
Mr Saayman, a vet, performed a two hour operation to remove a pair of undies belonging to his 3-year-old son from Taffy’s stomach.
“Nine times out of ten nature takes its course, but this time he was in discomfort,” Mr Saayman told The Sun.
Taffy, who reportedly has also eaten about 300 socks, 15 pairs of shoes and a key ring, made a full recovery after surgery.
“We make jokes about it but it’s actually very serious,” Mr Saayman told the BBC.
“If a dog gets an obstruction it can be life-threatening, so we try to keep things away from him.
“Whenever he picks things up we tell him off and hopefully he drops it before he swallows it.”
Furore over tree man Dede treatment
November 29, 2007 | 1 Comment
Doctors treating an Indonesian man known as “Tree-man” - because of root-like growths on his hands and feet - have been slammed by the country’s health minister.
We previously posted the story with a video here.
Indonesian health minister Siti Fadilah Supari has criticised the US doctor treating 35-year-old Dede for taking blood and tissue samples out of the country, the UK newspaper The Telegraph reported.
Dede, who lives in a village to the south of Jakarta, is believed to be suffering from a rare strain of the Human Papilloma Virus.
Mrs Supari reportedly said that the samples could be used to create vaccines that would be too expensive for many people.
“We are offended because the samples were taken from Dede without our permission,” Mrs Supari reportedly said.
“If they are taken abroad, they could become lucrative commodities.”
The US dermatologist treating the fisherman, the University of Maryland’s Dr Anthony Gaspari, told The Telegraph that money had nothing to do with taking the samples out of Indonesia.
“We did take samples, and the reason we did was to render a diagnosis,” Dr Gaspari said.
“We did it for humanitarian reasons, to help the patient.”
NFL Star Sean Taylor shot dead

The National Football League’s Sean Taylor, a star for the Washington Redskins, has died after being shot at his home near Miami, local television stations in Washington report.
Taylor, 24, who was the Redskins first pick in the 2004 draft, was shot in the leg, severing his femoral artery, during an apparent home robbery on Monday.
He was airlifted to Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital for treatment but died from his wound after heavy blood loss, local affiliates of CBS News and ABC News said.
The Miami Herald reported that Taylor and other occupants of the house heard intruders at the rear door and Taylor was shot in the leg.
Police said they were called at 1:45 am by a woman who said Taylor had been shot.
“We’ve yet to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting,” said Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Kathy Webb.
Miami-Dade police Lt. Nancy Perez, speaking to reporters outside Taylor’s home, said Taylor “was shot in the lower extremities. He was airlifted to Ryder Trauma (centre at Jackson Memorial Hospital) in critical condition.”
Taylor, a college star with the University of Miami, bought the four-bedroom home in Palmetto Bay, a village just south of Miami, for $US900,000 ($A1.04 million) two years ago.
The hard-hitting safety had five interceptions this season but had been sidelined the last two weeks with a leg injury.
Taylor had a run-in with the law two years ago stemming from a gun-related incident.
He was charged with three felony counts of aggravated assault with a weapon and one count each of simple assault and simple battery in connection with a June 2005 incident where he was accused of waving a gun at a group of people he suspected of stealing his all-terrain vehicle.
He could have faced up to 46 years in prison.
In June 2006 he pleaded no contest to misdemeanour assault and battery charges and prosecutors dropped the more serious felony charges.
Trapped man hacks off own arm with trusty pocket knife
November 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment
A US farmer hacked off his right arm with a pocket-knife after his hand became jammed in a machine and a fire began burning around him.
Sampson Parker told WIS-TV that his nightmare began when he noticed a piece of cornstalk wedged inside a rusty mechanical picker.
He lent in and tried to release the stalk but his hand became stuck in the device.
“I went up with my hand and the roller that takes the shucks off the corn had grabbed the glove and pulled my hand into the rollers,” Parker said.
“The more I tried pulling my hand out, the farther up my hand went.”
After around an hour being trapped on his knees, and with no sign of anyone hearing his screams for help, his arm began to get numb.
Using a rod to jam the machine, Mr Parker began to cut his arm out of the machine using his John Deere pocket-knife.
But before he was able to finish the job, the rod caused the machine to spark, and a fire began burning around him.
Mr Parker began using his left hand to try and fight back the flames which were spreading out across the grass around him.
“My skin was melting. It was dripping off my arm like plastic, plastic melting. I realised I was in trouble,” he said.
Then, he said, he picked up the knife and began slicing his arm off.
“And I just jammed it into my arm, just like that, just started cutting away from the bone - just dropped,” he said.
Suffering bad burns and a loss of blood, the man managed to make his way to the road in front of his home and signaled down a passing fire-fighter.
“My biggest fear was this guy is going to die on me right here and there’s nothing else I can do, other than what I’ve done,” firefighter Doug Spinks said.
“I’m just thankful I was there.”
