Britney Spears in the Bahamas (5/19)

According to the National Enquirer, Britney Spears' new and improved body (which she debuted last month in the Bahamas) came at the low, low price of $350,000. Plus free shipping! A source told the tabloid:

"Britney looks fantastic, but it took hard work as well as surgeons' skills to get there. Britney was obsessed with looking like a hottie again, and after two kids, she had to really push herself. But she did it - and it cost her $350,000!"

Since July 2008, the 5-foot-5 singer has shed 30 pounds and dropped from a size 6 to a size 2. She also got a big head start by going under the knife, the source said. Britney had a mini tummy tuck, which costs about $4,500, and breast-lift surgery, which carries an $8,000 price tag, after her boys were born. She's also had numerous peels and facials for her acne-prone complexion.

The singer has also received a series of injections of a soybean-based medication to dissolve fat cells on her butt and thighs. Used in Europe for many years, the treatment cost $1,500 a session at a Las Vegas clinic, and Britney needed at least 12 sessions, according to another source.  But the biggest step in Britney's makeover plan was to order up a $250,000 state-of-the-art home gym for her sprawling new mansion in Calabasas, Calif., said the source.

"She also works-out with a personal trainer at a cost of $6,000 a month."

Why did Britney spend all of that money on a home gym when, according to this article, she just went to a doctor to lose weight? That's makes about as much sense as K-Fed installing a stripper pole in his bedroom. Sure, occasionally he MIGHT find some floozy willing to give him a lap dance, but that takes a lot of hard work and determination. Like Britney, he'd probably prefer to skip all of that effort and just go directly to the source. And besides, he'd probably lose the entire $150 deposit he paid for his studio apartment in Long Beach if he started drilling holes in the floor and ceiling.
