Britney Spears has been accused of stealing a wig from an adult store in West Hollywood after a visit to the shop recently.

A source to Us Weekly that Britney turned up at the Hustler Store in the early hours of one morning last week and collected an armful of skimpy knickers before heading to the fitting rooms.

Store employees stopped her en route to explain “they don’t allow people to try on underwear [in there]. She was really upset.”

The source claims that Britney then proceeded to take over her own clothes and underwear to try on the knickers in the middle of the shop - with about 15 other customers looking on: “The employees kept saying ‘Don’t change out here!’ She’s just like, ‘Well, I couldn’t take them in the fitting room!’ It was like dealing with a child.”

“She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes.”

“The staff told her she had to pay [for the underwear], and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card”

“On her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!”

David was expected to attend the event along with the couple’s sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - and the rest of the Spice husbands and children but now he’s explained that Victoria changed her mind about who she wants watching.

He said recently: “One minute Victoria is saying she wants me there and then it’s ‘No, don’t come to the first show, as we’ll all be too nervous’.”

“I think I’ll be at the show a couple of days later in San Jose and have the boys with me. And I know Victoria will ring me as soon as the first show ends.”

“She says the rehearsals have gone amazingly well.”

David is currently in New Zealand with his LA Galaxy teammates as the club plays an exhibition tour of Australasia.

Vanessa Hudgens has revealed that while she always wanted to be a professional entertainer, she didn’t intend to become a celebrity.

She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph recently: “I became an actress and started singing and dancing because I truly loved it.”

“I did not want to be a celebrity. … I think fame is just something that comes along when you are in something that is such a success.”

She added that she worries that for many young stars, life in Hollywood can become a dangerous love/hate affair: “People become both jaded and infatuated with Hollywood. I think it happens to a lot of celebrities, and it messes with their head.”

“Everyone is trying to get into your business. I don’t like people staring at me all the time, and I don’t want people following me around.”

But she’s not thinking about quitting the business any time soon - if nothing else, she has to help Gabriella Montez finish high school. The High School Musical gang are set to reprise their roles early in the new year to film the third movie in the franchise - this one being released on the big screen rather than just broadcast on the Disney Channel.

Vanessa told Us Weekly recently that she’s looking forward to returning to East High: “It’s their senior year, so there’s going to be graduation - and prom!”

Christina Aguilera has revealed she didn’t plan to get pregnant while still on her world tour but everything happened quicker than they anticipated.

Christina’s baby, her first child with husband Jordan Bratman, is due in the New Year and she told Marie Claire recently: “We were planning on starting to try after the [Back to Basics] tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn’t know how much time it would take.”

“You’ve heard it takes some time except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, can you believe it just happened?’”

Her stage costumes had to be modified to accommodate her growing bump and she wore a well-concealed heart-monitor on stage but despite an active rumour mill about the contents of her womb, she refused to announce her pregnancy in its initial stages: “I was paranoid. There are so many things that could go wrong - somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.”

“I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

“Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”
