Britney Spears’ first public outing since crazy growling incident

fp_5396844_spears_britney_fp4_071410

Yay! New Britney Spears photos. Much like La Winehouse, I’m now very happy when I see photos of Britney in any way. These are photos of Britney wandering around yesterday, getting ready to lay down some tracks for a new album. Britney hasn’t been pap’d since the incident two weeks ago, when she was photographed looking like a maniac, growling and making faces at her bodyguards and photographers, her busted weave in chaos. That appearance was just a day after an ex-bodyguard claimed she was abusing her sons, and Britney got a visit from a social worker. Since then, everything has been pretty quiet. She looks pretty good here – sober, weave tamed, although Fame Pictures notes that Brit looks a little banged up:

Almost a full 2 weeks since her last public outing where she displayed a full range of bizarre emotional expressions to waiting photographers, Britney Spears makes her way to the music studio in Los Angeles, CA July 14, 2010. Though Spears looked like her old self, the pop singer’s absence from the public eye after such strange behavior raises suspicions that old internal demons may be haunting her again. She also had a noticeable red mark on her wrist, though it could not be determined whether it was a self-inflicted scratch or something less extreme.

[From Fame Pictures]

It looks like a burn mark to me. Or a bruise from using the computer/typing, etc. I have a similar bruise on my right wrist (from writing about Britney!), and I get burns that look like that all the time from cooking. I think Fame Pictures is just getting a little overly protective of Brit.

Damn… I just read The Daily Mail’s coverage of Brit’s outing, and they really lay into her! They say: “The 28-year-old pop star also wore a pink vest top that had a stain down the front and struggled to contain her bra strap. And she looked like she’d put on a few pounds, judging by her slightly protruding midriff, and didn’t look at all happy to have been caught on camera.” Totally harsh.

Two more things – an all-Britney episode of Glee is definitely happening, and Britney hasn’t said anything about the Mel Gibson situation. I didn’t think she would say anything about Mel, but Fox News is making it out to be like her silence speaks volumes, especially since Mel reached out to her when she was going through her problems. I think she’s just living her life, you know? She probably doesn’t even know the Mel drama is happening.

    “slightly protruding midriff”???

    where? her bod looks fine to me, it’s the hair that needs work.

    re: the mark on her wrist…isn’t that just the set of lips she got tattooed on her?

  2. Lee says:

    uhhhh, isnt that the pair of lips that she has tattooed on her wrist?!?

    I am not sure though.

    I think that she looks pretty good!

  3. debbie says:

    Leave Britney alone!!!WAHHHHHHHHH!!!

  4. Lem says:

    Brit had lips inked on her wrist awhile back. right?

    “crazy growling incident” poor girl made a frustrated noise, Tyra’s was a crazy growling incident

  5. Chris says:

    I agree, she has lips tattooed on her wrist.

  6. dumdumcow says:

    dumdum!! thats her lips tattoo. and dear sweet 8.5 baby jesus – will you please make my belly protrude like britneys? and not star jones? kthanksbye.

  7. lem says:

    yea that is her Lips tattoo on her wrist.

    i get covering her when she really is having her breakdown (although i hate the bashing of her– her mental health problems are not her fault) but i hate that they are trying to make nothing into something and that something has to be so negative (i.e. self-hurting and what not). and really? “struggled to contain her bra strap”??? i think 90% of women who wear tank tops “struggle” with the same thing. sheesh.

  8. Jillian says:

    Yeah, it does look like lip prints.

    Get a strapless bra. I hate seeing bra straps. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

  9. sapphire says:

    Why all the hate on her? Boredom?
    Does anyone know if she actually has a diagnosis?

  10. Schozzle says:

    This stupid bitch can’t go one day without walking out of her house wearing a shirt covered in stains.

  11. Go Britney! ^_^ can’t wait for her new album she’s gonna slaughter Gaga ^_^
    She looks fine to me (appart from the weave of course lol) just living her life. keep it up Britney! ^_^ x

  12. Jackson says:

    Ya know, I don’t think she looks bad at all. And are those stains, or maybe just sweat? And my goodness, if all of you know that she has a tat like that, why doesn’t whoever reached for that story know it? Honestly, I think she looks pretty darn ok in these pics.

  13. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    You know it is sad when people have to continually speculate about every thing she does, right down to a mark on her wrist.

    Leave teh girl alone. She is doing her own thing. So she has a busted weave, and she eats unhealthy and she may have a mental problem. She’s human for christ sakes.

  14. lucy2 says:

    Uh Fox News,…are we supposed to be expecting current events commentary from Britney? She hasn’t commented on her own life in years, why would she talk about Mel?

    I think the nitpicking at her appearance is unfair, and honestly she looks fine. A tattoo and sweat marks on her shirt (in the summer? gasp!) and they make it out like she’s crawled out from under a rock.

  15. kdizzle says:

    its her lips tattoo.

  16. Leek says:

    Poor Britney. She’s the pop version of Al Bundy fondly looking back on the days of flat stomachs and real hair like he did with Polk High football.

  17. Savv says:

    As for the stained shirt… she’s a MOM. Stains happen, and you don’t always have time to change when your toddler flings something at you at the last moment.

  18. denise says:

    What strikes me, is that Britney through her most insane moments, produced the best album ever with Blackout. I can’t help but heart Britney.

  19. guesty says:

    @debbie…lol!

  20. Obvious says:

    I’ll say this to those screaming for strapless bras-not everyone can wear one. I haven’t be able to since I was 16. They don’t make decent/affordable ones for people over a small D.

    However she is smaller than that and can afford one. I wish her all the best, but I do like seeing her look like one of us.

  21. Ogechi says:

    I wish they wl leave her alone.

  22. Sudini says:

    I can’t believe they didn’t realize that’s her tattoo. She’s had it for years now.

  23. Kim says:

    Off topic, I know, but if you cannot wear a strapless, then don’t wear a shirt that shows half your bra.

    I have a co-worker who is a bigger lady, with at least a DD chest, and every summer she wears tops with speghetti straps and we can see 80% of her bra. And they are granny Cross Your Heart bras.

    But I agree with the poster who reminds us that she has 2 toddlers who are probably the ones getting stains on her clothes.

  24. purelife says:

    brit brit has actually the most amazing nipppples in the world. she wear bra and its still poppping there, even in thick sweaters. only this time its not there.lol. actually people are used to her get up, they already saw everything in her. anyway, i love brit, no matter what. good to see her getting well. shes the only person in HW with all the craziness but her fans never left her.

  25. Alina says:

    why would she say anything about mel gibson? although 90% of celebrities expresed their opinions about her, she alwyas minded her damn bussines and never talked about somebodyelses life..I think that in these pictures she loks like britney spears, she doesn’t give a fudge because she knows that everytime somebody’s gonna say somenthing..if she’s dressed ok she has sad/crazy/lunatic eyes..

  26. anon33 says:

    Denise, ITA. I FLOVE that album. I never even liked her music until she released Blackout.

  27. locagirl says:

    He body definitely looks fine…. it’s her eye make up that makes her look like a hot mess. Too thick. Her hair, though messy, still looks cute in my opinion.

  28. gorilla says:

    thats her tattoo

  29. gorilla says:

    i really wish people would back off her, even if not for her (although i think she deserves that too), she does have two young kids… the media frenzy around her is much worse than a lot of other celebs and their kids ’cause everyones looking and hoping for a sign that she’s unhealthy in some way

  30. Cinderella says:

    She’s had that wrist tatoo since her initial meltdown.

    I think the “stain” on her shirt is sweat. It’s summertime, so give her a break.

  31. denise says:

    @ anon33

    I still listen to that album, love, love, love Toy Soldier and many others on that c.d.
    Blackout was my workout music the year it came out, lost 24 pounds and got in shape on that damn album. Thank You Brit Brit.

  32. GrnMtGirl says:

    Lips Tattoo…Sweat drops probably from her drink…Hair needs some tending to…Bra looks fine (she could wear a sports bra)…Tummy is better than most peoples

    Even on her worst day she looks a hell of a lot better than a lot of people I see out and about!!

  33. bewilderbeastie says:

    Yes, please tell the idiots at Fame, that’s clearly her tattoo. I’m not even a fan, and I immediately recognized that for what it was.

  34. snowball says:

    I’m with GrnMtGrl – hot weather + cold can of beverage = drops of water down your shirt the first time you lift it up to take a drink. It’s not a stain or sweat, it’s just water that dripped down on you. It’s not earth shattering.

    As for the bra – god, the girl can’t win. She gets ripped when she doesn’t wear one, she gets ripped when you can see the straps. Maybe it’s one of those thin support camisoles. The straps don’t look like typical bra straps, they look like pullover things to me.

    She always wears too much makeup and it always looks all smudgy and it makes her look sweaty and pissed. She looks better when it’s not so hot. I don’t know why she’s expected to comment on Mel Gibson, she’s got her own crap to deal with and I wouldn’t touch his radioactive issues with a 500 foot pole.

  35. Novaraen says:

    That weave is nowhere near tamed.

  36. womanfromthenorth says:

    lip tat from crazy shave my head days.

  37. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    What’s this ‘protrusion’? Maybe she’s bloated, or her pants slipped a little, common. And if she had a protrusion, those could likely be causes. If.

    Everybody’s fashion choices have to made with the knowledge of what looks right for them. I’m short with no torso, so if I wear a long skirt I look like a bag of potatoes. I’m too top heavy to leave the house with anything other than an industrial strength tit wrangler, so I don’t. That ‘stain’ could very well be condensation from the drink, or sweat. Who here wears anti-perspirant under the arms and boobs?

    I’m betting that it was a guy who wrote that entry, because a lot of it just doesn’t make sense. Is Dr. John going to teach us about the perils of tampon-related toxic shock? He’d know.

  38. Melinda says:

    Wait, how is the weave not busted?

  39. filthycute says:

    Kim, are you the bra police? Please.

  40. Tia C says:

    The Daily Mail’s description is entirely accurate and not the slightest bit harsh, IMO. She looks as sloppy as ever. GF needs style guidance.

    I was going to say the red marks look like ink, but most everyone else already pointed out that it is a tattoo.

  41. Kim says:

    @filtycute, nothing looks tackier than your bra straps and the back of it hangin’ out of your shirt.

    As a whole, our society has gone way downhill in the past 40 yrs in terms of how we present ourselves in public. I find it sad that having your undergarments visible is now acceptable.

  42. Jeri says:

    I didn’t realize the “growling” incident was a scandle. I didn’t give it a second thought. We can’t expect Brit’s life to be bland & problem free, we may wish her more joy & happiness but sadly, all her flaws are pointed out for all.

  43. Camille says:

    Can’t stand this waste of space.

  44. Amy says:

    I’m a fan and I believe she was yawning in those pictures not growling crazy.

  45. Beth says:

    Clarification is needed: Britney looks pretty good or pretty good for Britney? She looks bad in these photos but better than she usually looks.

  46. CB Rawks says:

    Her clothes always have stains on them. Must be a side effect of being slack-jawed.

  47. Kim says:

    Oh brother! Talk about exagerrating! She has a small wet spot – could be condensation from soda can, her stomach is not protruding. and the faces she makes for paps are for a reaction. Man thes etabloids REALLY try and create stuff out of nothing when they have no story.

  48. CB Rawks says:

    I stand by the observation that she’s slack-jawed. 🙂

  49. freckles says:

    I’m sorry… but it’s been, what, 3 and a half year since she shaved her head? How on earth does she still need a weave?? I got my hair cut very short around the same time she shaved hers, so short that I couldn’t put it in a pony tail anymore. I’ve been growing it out since and it’s waist-long. I’m not understanding how her hair looks like she just shaved it yesterday.

  50. purelife says:

    I like britneys body a million times than that ribby back of Tori Spelling.

  51. Bored@Work says:

    I love Britney and I feel for her. She is obviously going through a mental crisis and I wish her the best. She is still one of the best entertainers out there and in her heyday she was absolutely great. Seeing her like this actually makes me sad. Hope she gets it together.
