She’s chucking K-Fed his £20,000 a month and propping up the local Starbucks but Britney still has money to burn, and she’s burning it on getting rid of her pot belly and back fat.

After she was pictured with enough of a gut to spark some pretty believable pregnancy rumours, Britney took the bull by the horns and signed up to a £11,000-a-month diet and exercise regime.

If you thought the release of the worst single ever, Popozao, was the lowest point in Kevin Federline’s ‘career’– think again.

That’s because Britney Spears’ ex-husband plans to release a fitness DVD.

There are several ways to realise that Britney Spears has been in a bad way lately - one of them is to have eyes and/or ears.

Another way is to read the news. You see, Britney Spears turned up at a charity party at Jim Carrey’s house last weekend not looking as if she’d spent the last month wide awake and screaming at the ceiling. And that’s a news story, apparently.

Once, we were entranced by Britney Spears’ pop princess persona - now we’re more bothered about the size of her belly, and what’s bloating it this week.

After rumours of pregnancy have been quashed by Britney’s camp, with her folks saying the bloat was purely down to her medication, she has now been snapped with a shrinking tum.

She was photographed wearing a floaty top the night before, that showed off her rounded stomach, but the morning after, the bulge was gone. Hang on a minute, what’s going on?

You may have been aware of rumours suggesting that Britney Spears had somehow managed to get pregnant.

Well, relax, because apparently she isn’t. True, Britney Spears might have a bit of a belly on her at the moment, but Britney says it’s just her bipolar medication bloating her stomach out.

But that’s the thing with psychiatric brain medication, isn’t it? Full of carbs. If only Britney Spears was diagnosed with another illness - like some kind of horrific wasting disease or the Ebola virus - instead of bipolar disorder, then she’d be lovely and happy and thin as a rake. No wonder she’s so mental.

Jackie Warner, the star of the US hit TV show Work It Out, wants to help perennial waster Britney Spears to turn her life around.

“She needs someone who will do more than put her through a routine,” says Warner. “She needs a life coach, and I consider myself to more of a life coach than a trainer. She would love me and hate me. We’d be a great match.”

In an exclusive interview with fancast.com’s celebrity blogger Todd Gold, Jackie Warner shared her thoughts on troubled Britney and offered some sound advice.

Celebrity blog Celebitchy has details of The Enquirer’s report on Britney Spears’ new fitness regime.

Tons of pics have appeared online and in newspapers showing Britney skipping out of gyms, looking toned and healthy, as well as running on a treadmill (wearing shades indoors, no less).

It might be another false start, but it really does seem like she has got herself back on track and ditched the fatty fast food and fitness fads for good.

Britney Spears is going mad because she eats too many burgers and goes to coffee shops too many times.

So say animal rights group PETA, who have even written a letter to the troubled pop star’s parents to warn them that her poor diet is behind her recent crazy antics.
