Troubled Britney Spears reveals a whole lot more in uncensored outtakes from the racy new video to her single 'Gimme More' - as the singer is seen completely topless.

The previously unseen shots show a bra-less Britney in her role as a tattoo-clad pole dancer, with her arms across her chest, and her modesty barely protected by a pair of 'nipple flowers'.

The raunchy promo, said to be completely Britney's "concept and her vision" was directed by Jake Sarfaty, according to American magazine People.

The new song is now a success on the music charts - despite the pop star's turbulent personal life and the humiliation of her much-panned performance at MTV's Video Music Awards.

This week, Gimme More - released to US radio stations in August - topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart at No. 1 with 179,000 downloads, and jumped from No. 68 to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100.

Another custody hearing is scheduled for Oct. 26.
