Our favorite train wreck in the world (yes, of course, I'm talking about Britney Spears, who else do you think could possibly have done enough stupid things to earn that title?) celebrated her 26th birthday yesterday, and you absolutely won't believe who was with her during the celebration. I mean, you'd better sit down because this is going to come as a real surprise. Britney y'all, met up with on again / off again friend Paris Hilton (I warned you it was a shocker) and partied until late in the evening - or early in the morning, whatever you chose to call it.

The troubled singer and everybody's favorite heiress were still partying at 4 a.m. as they enjoyed a cigarette on the balcony of the Beverly Hills Four Seasons hotel. Earlier in the evening, the pair attended a party hosted by Sharon Stone at the Scandinavian Style Mansion along with Britney's two (and only) friends Sam Lufti and Alli Sims.

Brit Brit's ego must have been satisfied, though, seeing that she is said to have received a collection of expensive gifts at the party, including fur coats worth $30,000 (has anyone called PETA yet about that?), a $10,000 diamond and gold ring, as well as $4,000 worth of Barito brand sunglasses and various T-shirts and hair products.

"Around 11pm they brought a small chocolate cake and sang 'Happy Birthday' to Britney. She looked slim and pretty. We really hope this birthday and her new age will be a turning point", said a witness. I have a feeling they should have checked his blood alcohol level before taking this statement, as I'm sure this witness either was dead drunk himself or had serious problems with his vision and had left his glasses at home - otherwise I can't explain how he could possibly call Britney "slim and pretty" - but I must admit, she did put some effort into her looks.

She began the evening in a black mini-dress and white fake-fur jacket, with her new blonde hair extensions sleek and tidy. But when she left the party to continue her celebration elsewhere, Brit Brit was at it again: she flashed her panties as she climbed into her car, and by 4 a.m. she was back to her trademark homeless look, with her messy hair loosely tied on top of her head and her make-up smeared. What can I say - I am incredibly shocked. And surprised, yes - I was actually expecting Brit to be in bed by 12. Oh, well - once again, I pronounce myself disappointed. What is it, like the 2.445.567th time?
