To say things aren't going so well for Britney Spears is an understatement, but when a woman steps out with her hairy armpits for the world to see, that's just a big no-no!
Julia Roberts and that singer who did 99 Red Balloons way back in the 80s didn't get away with it and neither will you Britney Jean Spears. So please do yourself a favour - alongside getting your act together and shave those pits. Lord knows you're familiar with a razor!

Anyone outside of UK may not be familiar with the work of Jenny Powell, but Splash thought we'd draw attention to some of her best assets.
Yes she may have once been face of Wheel of Fortune and the property talking sleuth in To Buy or Not To Buy, but it's her super toned figure that's got tongues wagging now.
The 39-year-old London born presenter who has a body to rival someone half her age showed off her svelte figure in a 60s inspired bikini whilst basking on the sun kissed beaches of Barbados.
Powell follows in the footsteps of other British personalities including Simon Cowell and Martine McCutcheon to swap the the London chill for a more desirable January on the Caribbean island.

Now I know we're supposed to be all about the celebrity here on Splash, but these puppies are just too cute to pass up on.
Meet Pablo, Carmen and Venus; the three adorable 11 month Chihuahua puppies who were born without front paws. Thanks to technology (and a little bit of money) these cute pups now have what the North Shore Animal League calls "front-wheel drive."
"The wheels were their holiday presents," said owner 48-year-old Donna Imhof, a veterinary technician at the league's shelter in Port Washington, New York. "Instead of their two front teeth, they got two front wheels".
The puppies were adopted by Imhof after the no-kill shelter rescued them from a puppy mill in Virginia last July where they were slated to be euthanized.

It seems that the world of sport is less lenient when it comes to their athletes dabbling in steroids as American Olympic sprinter Marion Jones is given a six month jail sentence for lying about her use of performing enhancing drugs.
District Court Judge Kenneth Karas handed Jones six months for lying about steroid use and two months - to run concurrently - for a separate charge of misleading federal investigators about her knowledge of a fraud case involving her ex-boyfriend, former 100 meters world record holder Tim Montgomery.
International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) spokesman Nick Davies told Reuters that six months in prison is a long time following Jones' sentencing.
"There is a lot of sadness for Marion and her family"
"But you do hope that it will be a deterrent to others.
"Hopefully when she is out of prison she can help the IAAF and other organizations to ensure that other people don't follow the path that she certainly followed.
"It (her doping) has certainly hurt the image of the sport."
Marion who was the first woman to win five athletics medals, three of them gold, has been stripped of her 2000 Sydney Games medals.
In addition to this all her results since September 2000 were wiped from the record books.
Jones, who once pulled in millions of dollars from product endorsements, is now in financial ruin.

Jim H. Fogel, a Riverdale, NY, neighbor and friend of Jack Bratman, Jordan's father, for 21 years, confirms to Life & Style that the baby was born earlier today, Jan. 11.
When asked if he knew about the baby's birth, he told Life & Style, "Of course! I talked to Jack earlier today. He's so happy to be a grandfather. He's thrilled to be a grandfather again, for the second time."
Doh! I had Nicole Richie in the who's first to birth pool in the office. Congrats to Christina and Jordan!
