Slim Shady

‘HOW soon a drama can become a crisis! Two days ago, Britney Spears dropped what looked like slimming pills out of her handbag as she arrived at Heathrow airport.

‘I know I put them somewhere’

This morning, she wakes up to read a showbiz exclusive in the Express, entitled: ‘Britney Diet Pill Crisis.’

The nature of the crisis is hard to fathom, except that on GMTV yesterday the singer could not remember the episode.

‘Are you serious?’ she apparently asked reporter Rachel Harrison. ‘I don’t even have a bag. That’s like, that’s so funny.’

However, pictures in Wednesday’s Express clearly show Britney holding a bag and her ‘people’ were quick to provide an explanation.

‘It was probably just a misunderstanding,’ a spokesman says. ‘Of course, Britney owns a bag – she’s got hundreds of them.’

But the slimming pills? Another one, it seems, for Lord Hutton to sort out.’
