BRITNEY Spears shocked the world again with her X-rated single, Work B**ch!
The pop princess says the word “b**ch” 20 times in the dance track, which was produced by Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am.
And this isn’t the first time the 31-year-old pop star has given her fans a jolt.
From snogging Madonna to shaving her head, see the top ten most shocking Britney moments ever below.
1) Britney gets sssssexy with a python
11
BRIT went from innocent southern teen to raunchy sexpot thanks to one rather large Burmese python.
Dressed in next to nothing, she danced a sweaty jig with this yellow fella on her shoulders at the 2001 MTV VMAs.
The performance of I’m A Slave 4 U has gone down as one of the annual bash’s most iconic ever although animal welfare charity PETA complained about it.
2) Kiss me baby one more time
11
BRITNEY and Madonna kissed in front of millions of television viewers and a stunned audience of stars at the 2003 VMAs.
Madonna was 45 at the time, more than twice Britney’s age, and Brit’s ex Justin Timberlake was not the only man in the crowd to look visiblyuncomfortable.
3) Married for just 55 hours
11
In January 2004, Britney drunkenly wed school friend Jason Alexander at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
Just 55 hours later, the marriage was annulled because Britney “lacked understanding of her actions”.
Brit’s record label dubbed it “a joke that went too far” and Jason later reflected that it was “just crazy, man”.
4) Britney bares all
11
Around 2006, Britney became notorious for leaving her knickers at home.
Flashing her wares to the world, she was frequently snapped in all her glory getting in and out of cars.
This particular shot was taken as the star filled up her car with petrol in November that year.
5) Reality TV romance
11
In 2004, Britney got engaged to her backing dancer, Kevin Federline, just three months after meeting him.
Kevin’s ex was eight months pregnant with his second child at the time.
In Britney & Kevin: Chaotic the reality show following the couple’s progress the singer increasingly came across as troubled and strange.
6) Hit me baby…
11
The pop star was charged with a hit-and-run and driving without a licence in 2007.
7) Oops! she did it again!
11
In 2006, Britney was pictured driving her car with infant son Sean on her lap.
Later the same year, she was photographed stumbling in high heels and nearly dropping the tot in the street.
11
A few years later, the three-year-old lad was snapped holding his mother’s cigarettes and lighter.
8) Bonkers with a brolly
11
Britney’s meltdown came to a head in 2007 when, looking dazed and wide-eyed, she shaved her head in full view of the public at an LA salon.
She later angrily attacked photographers with an umbrella.
9) VMA surprise comeback flop
11
Britney launched a disastrous surprise comeback in 2007 at the VMAs, in which she awkwardly staggered and stuttered through a performance of Gimme More.
She was slated by the critics and later admitted to embarrassment over the whole affair.
10) Leaving home on a stretcher
11
Britney was hospitalised twice in 2008 and was even carried from her home on a stretcher in January.
Ex-manager Sam Lufti claimed: “She liked to use amphetamines. Mostly everything that went wrong was because of this drug.”
During this time, she temporarily lost custody of her two sons.
Britney’s former bodyguard testified against her, claiming there were “issues of nudity by Ms Spears, drug use, and safety issues involving the children post-rehab”.
