Britney Spears is on the right path to mending her sullied image: not only is she back to work in the recording and dancing studio, but she is also spending more time with her two sons and, as you can very well see, she has learned to fully use that magic power only some of us enjoy, that of covering one's body (or parts of it) with the hand.

A couple of nights ago, Britney was spotted by the paparazzi as she was heading to Vegas. Truth be told, it would have been completely extraordinary if they hadn't, seeing that she made no less than four bathroom stops along the way! She must have had lots of liquids before leaving home...

The good news is that, once she arrived in Vegas, she went immediately to work in the studio, together with 'Dr. Luke' Gottwald (the man behind Kelly Clarkson's 'Since U Been Gone' and 'Behind These Hazel Eyes'), one of the hottest producers of the moment. Rumor has it that Brit Brit is pulling all the stops to make this album (due to drop this fall) her greatest, something that would make her fans forget all about the K-Fed, baby dropping, vagina flashing, club hopping stuff.

Nonetheless, we'd like to focus on what happened before she got to Vegas, when Britney pulled over at the four gas stations to use the public restroom. Each time that she came out of the car and ran to the door of the bathroom, the paps had the wonderful opportunity of seeing her in a posture truly uncommon for her, but not less befitting: the singer was covering her breasts with her hand!

As the shock wave dies down, let it be known (historians, write this date in your notebooks!) that Britney Spears has discovered the meaning of 'shame' and the power of the flashes of the cameras (that can turn an apparently opaque material into a see-through one). Taking baby steps, but making great progress... If only she had discovered this almost two months ago, THIS would have been just a figment of our imagination...
