Britney’s Good Publicity Tour Takes Over NYC, But Will It Last?

Britney Spears sure is on a roll these days! After winning all those VMAs, she’s come to the Big Apple with her most natural weave yet and a subdued outfit that even Jennifer Aniston might admire. She’s been busying chatting on Z100, taking in Broadway shows, and even surprised students and police officers in the Bronx today, doling out hugs and posing for photos. Everything is perfect, right? Er, sure. But let’s think back to almost exactly two years ago, when Britney did the exact same thing. On November 7, 2007, while doing a bunch of press in NYC, Britney filed for divorce from Kevin Federline. That night, she hit the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center in a cute little knit GAP hat, looking like life was on the up and up. Less than four months later, she was shaving her head, and then well, you know. Surely she’s in a better place these days, but the current “Britney’s going to buy back her sex tape from Adnan Ghalib” rumor is a handy reminder that Brit-sanity is always just a Frappuccino away. [We just saw that now Adnan is denying the tape! Looks like Brit's goons got to him.]

So we’re just throwing a bit of cautionary advice out there, BritBrit! Go easy on yourself. No expects you to be perfect anymore, and the fake hair (which looks really great, by the way!) isn’t gonna make us think that you suddenly are. Embrace the crazy! [Photos: GettyImages]
