Topless photos emerge of Britney Spears

During the ‘crazy years’ of not so long ago Britney Spears often was photographed sans panties so there really isn’t much left to the imagination anymore.  But in case seeing the fallen angel flashing her boobs gets you excited new photos emerged yesterday, showing her topless while shooting the music video for her 2007 hit “Gimme More.”

Adorned with strategically placed temporary tattoos, brunette Spears pole-dances in a strip-club setting during the video, while a blond Britney enjoys the show from the bar. Apparently the down-and-dirty Spears of those days brought a photographer to the video shoot and posed for the topless snaps, according to an agent for the fotog. “These pictures were [Spears'] idea,” said Alec Byrne, who represents the photographer, whom he declined to identify.

“She was going to use this in the promotion of the video — but obviously, after [she] saw the content, decided not to.”

The pictures appeared yesterday in Britain’s News of the World right here.
