Britney Spears rocked matching shirt, shorts and flip-flops as she boarded a private plane in Mississippi over the weekend. We suspect the Wal-Mart bag contains snacks--no meal service on this flight!
Spears came home for her sister Jamie-Lynn's baby shower this weekend, then headed back to LA to film her scenes from "How I Met Your Mother."
Fans of the New York twentysomething sitcom fretted when Spears did her first cameo, as a socially awkward receptionist, but she was so good for ratings (and so not reviled in reviews) that they're bringing her back as a love interest for Neil Patrick Harris. Is she following in Jamie-Lynn's footsteps and going to TV full-time?

We know, we know, we said we were going to stop covering Britney Spears until the poor child got her act together. But with an upcoming guest appearance on hipster comedy "How I Met Your Mother" and a new cartoon music video, we were hopeful that she is slowly getting back to her bad, chart-topping self.
Of course, that was before we found out she had lunch with the previously scandal-ridden Mel Gibson at Russian restaurant Romanov this weekend. Then again, while they were breaking borscht* maybe Mel could give her tips on making a comeback as he did with "Apocalypto" after his TMZ-taped rant o' crazy.
*Sadly, you cannot actually break borscht, as it is soup.

Any of our readers in Baja California? We'll pay you in kisses for a picture of Britney Spears, allegedly running around in a pink wig and black boots in Ensenada, Mexico, with her latest flame, married paparazzi photographer Adnan Ghalib. (Unfortunately, this relationship has not enabled her to control any better the stream of ridiculous images that forms in her wake.)
After a stay in Palm Desert, California, and a stopover in New York City, Spears and Ghalib are holed up at the Rosarito Beach Hotel, only emerging to pick up Mexican candy and a rosary (although Ghalib reportedly was raised a strict Muslim). Yeah, she definitely needs a vacation... from being crazy Stateside.

Did you let your small cousin pull the wishbone this Thanksgiving, or help Dad set the table? Some stars also gave in to that altruistic holiday impulse over the weekend. While Britney Spears went shopping, "Hairspray" star Nikki Blonsky performed at New York's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; while Paris Hilton went on an MTV junket to China, Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa headed up a crack team of stars willing to give up their Thanksgiving to serve the homeless.
While Kirk Douglas reminisced about Olde Hollywood with the mayor, Harrison Ford and wife Calista Flockhart put their rubber gloves on, and Spencer Pratt of "The Hills" dished up some succotash. Man, these stars are cooler than that one weird couple who always shows up at our Thanksgiving dinners!

You may or may not know that this week Britney Spears released her long-awaited fifth album, "Blackout," to not-all-that-terrible reviews. The album is timed perfectly for anyone looking for a creepy soundtrack for his last-second haunted house, depending on how eerie you find Spears' thin and robotic voice.
In keeping with the holiday, Spears appeared at the Virgin Megastore in Hollywood dressed as a pirate wench. It's interesting that her publicist felt the need to clarify that this was a costume, and not just Spears' normal attire. Who wears a costume to work? Well, besides that creepy guy in the mail room.
Need a last-minute costume? We suggest Sexy Wronged Passenger On Southwest, Sexy Virgin America Mogul or Sexy TSA Worker and Patdown Expert.

Britney Spears caused a paparazzi circus after dropping by an Acapulco Mexican Restaurant y Cantina in Burbank Wednesday night. Right across the street from the Access Hollywood studios, she certainly couldn't have thought she'd be under the radar. But we're more concerned about her restaurant pick: Acapulco? Come on, Brit, that's like Applebees for burritos.
LA is stuffed with more Mexican spots than it knows what to do with, so we'd suggest these alternatives:
Border Grill -- An outpost of the Too Hot Tamales, Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, this Latin spot is to LA what Rick Bayless' Frontera Grill is to Chicago: Lively, colorful and delicious. 1445 4th St., Santa Monica
La Serenata de Garibaldi -- The name makes us think of Italy, but the fresh fish tacos and gorditas are straight outta Mexico. 1842 East First St.
El Borrego de Oro -- An East LA barbecue joint tucked away in a strip mall, this is the place to mingle with some serious eaters who love their slow-cooked meat. 2808 E. Washington Blvd.

Sure, tooling around in a rental car on your next trip may feel like the best way to "get to know" the place you're visiting. But do you know who's out on the road with you? Drivers like Britney Spears, who could face up to six months in jail for hitting a parked car in Beverly Hills in August and for driving without a valid California license.
In fact, it's not known whether Spears has any license at all. While we can't exactly point fingers on the hitting-a-parked-car bit (Our parents eventually forgave us!), it's frightening to think how many unlicensed drivers aren't being followed around the roads by the disaster-hungry paparazzi.
If you still feel you need to get a rental car, at least get a good deal on it. MSNBC.com has some tips that will help you decide what kind of car, the insurance you'll need--if any--and how to protect yourself against any liability. And if Britney's doing it, we shouldn't have to tell you: Please, please, please don't drive without a license.

Just when you thought MTV's Video Music Awards couldn't get more ridiculous, this year's VMAs--in Vegas for the first time--came through big: Sarah Silverman cracked dirty jokes, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee scuffled and Rihanna scooped up two Moon Men. And, of course, Britney opened her "comeback" performance with the imminently classy line, "It's Britney, bitch!"
Holding the whole shebang at The Palms Casino Resort was a great move--where else but a hotel should Fall Out Boy smash up guitars after playing a set? Kanye West performed at the Palms' Hugh Hefner Sky Villa--and not on the main stage, much to his dismay. (Funny, Britney didn't have a problem performing there.)
Kid Rock's scuffle with Tommy Lee got him kicked out of the Palms, set off a Vegas wide police search, and earned him a misdemeanor battery. However, he didn't get a moon man for his performance, looks like he will have to wait until the 2008 MTV Movie Awards where he is sure to snag the award for "Best Fight".
