Britney Spears accused of shoplifting wig from store

Erratic Britney Spears has been accused of shoplifting a wig just hours after stripping down to try on a pair of briefs in an adult store in Los Angeles.

It is alleged that after an altercation with staff, the troubled singer snatched a wig off a mannequin and left without paying for it.

The incident happened in the adult shop Hustler shortly before 1am on 18 November, the American magazine Us Weekly is reporting.

It also says that while in the store Spears, 25, picked up some saucy knickers and headed for the changing rooms.

But, much to her disgust, she was told by store employees that she could not try them on.

A source at the store, in West Hollywood, told the magazine: "They told her they don't allow people to try on underwear and she was really upset."

At that point the singer's behaviour allegedly took a turn for the worse. She decided to take off her own underwear - in the middle of the shop floor - before trying on a pair of pants with 'Barely Legal' stitched across the rear.

Fifteen other customers looked on in shock at the mother-of-two's antics. One witness told Us Weekly: "The employees said, 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was just like dealing with a child."

Spears's tantrum continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source went on. But on the way out Spears allegedly went up to a mannequin, snatched its wig, and stole it.

Meanwhile Britney and her ex-boyfriend JR Rotem have denied reports in another American magazine that she is pregnant again.

Music producer Rotem issued a statement saying: "There is absolutely no truth to this."

And her pal Sam Lutfi sent a text message to Ryan Seacrest's radio show in LA saying: "It's BS. Don't know who made it up. JR doesn't even know what's up. It's fake, completely fake."
