Britney Spears Shops, World Gawks

Receiving the kind of attention normally reserved for visiting foreign dignitaries or flaming, five-car pile-ups, Britney Spears  dropped by the Levi's store in Beverly Hills yesterday.

While Brit-Brit stocked up on jeans, the traditional throng of paps stocked up on pics, snapping away furiously and creating a commotion in and of themselves.

Egads, it's gotten so that a gal can't even pick up a little denim without landing in the news. It's probably enough to make her want to shave her head and attack a car with an umbrella.

Stay strong, Brit! And we hope you bought maternity jeans, if Star magazine's story about you carrying Adnan's bun in your oven are true.
