Britney Spears Can’t Seem to Win

When you’re trying for a comeback, every move has to be calculated and executed with precision and attention to detail. Translation: Britney Spears’ 2nd try at world domination is on life support.

Take the incredible failure with OK! Magazine last week. She had an amazing platform to set the record straight and try to convince the public that she’s not a wackjob. Unfortunately, she did more damage to her image than if she would’ve stayed quiet.

Following the horrific interview/photo shoot (if you can call it that), Brit took to the soundstage to film some stripper-iffic scenes for her video “Get Back.”

She took frequent bathroom breaks during the shoot, and was described as “erratic” and “disoriented” by the crew. One witness told press, “You could see she was getting a bit wobbly, but no one expected her to throw a complete fit. Suddenly, she was in floods of tears and stormed off set. She eventually came back but was sobbing hysterically.”

Apparently the “Stronger” singer couldn’t hang with the pole dancing routine that the video treatment called for. And instead of handling it like a 25-year-old woman, she sulked off like a 5-year-old girl. The director even had to end the shoot prematurely so that Britney could go home and compose herself.

If anyone can pull it back together and launch a kick-butt comeback it’s Brit. But she’ll have to start doing things a little more “Baby One More Time” and a little less “Oops I Did It Again.”

Enjoy the pictures of Britney’s stripper routine, along with shots of the pop princess doing some Studio City antiquing on Sunday (July 29).
