Life in General

Skivvy-dipping, soiling an expensive outfit and sailing with her sons sans lifejackets – it was a wet n' wild week for BRITNEY SPEARS HOT.

On July 18 the pop star, 25, and her unidentified blonde gal pal stopped off in Malibu for an impromptu afternoon dip (with BRITNEY SPEARS HOT wearing only her skivvies!) before a crowd of photographers.

In the course of the session she apparently fretted that the ceiling might cave in, she allowed her newly acquired puppy to soil the floor and she wiped her hands on a couture gown after scarfing down fried chicken.

Finally, on July 20, Spears drew another wave of criticism for going boating with sons Sean Preston, 22 months, and Jayden James, 10 months – without life jackets. (Turns out they're not required by state law on such a large craft.)

BRITNEY SPEARS HOT, who has no manager or personal publicist and has been without her BFF Alli Sims lately, "won't listen to anybody," says a family friend. "[Her family] is frustrated with the situation – and worried about the children."
