Britney Spears Makes Headlines in Sin City Again

After getting crapped on by the NFL Network this week when she requested to be in their commercial-and after all that went down with ex-hubby K-Fed, including his copping an upcoming Super Bowl commercial for Nationwide Insurance in spite of losing his Ferrari and his dignity, the last thing Britney Spears needed was a P.R. disaster.

The NFL Network called her a "trainwreck" according to the NewYorkDailyNews. That started the bleeding--and vicious Hollywood rumor cycle all over again. One only need go look at some recent photos of a hungover Britney trying to spend some TLC with her kids on a Beverly Hills playground to see that.

She had already had one bad moment on New Year's Eve when she apparently drank too much cruising up on a party bus to Las Vegas from Phoenix-and caught a few z's at Caesars when she should have been entertaining. After all, that's what the entertainers get paid big bucks to do-entertain, right?

Truth be told, the month of January has not been too entertaining for the pop princess. And it took a turn for the worse this past weekend when Spears sent the kids to a babysitter and decided to hit Sin City-except it didn't seem the trip was anything more than vindication.

After all, early reports after the "sleeping" fiasco did circulate that the owners of PURE at Caesars Palace weren't happy with Spears and had threatened to pull their $400,000 payment to the pop diva for her "services" rendered on New Year's Eve. PURE later smoothed that one over, according to TMZ.com and said Brit would be welcome back any time.

Next thing you know, Spears' 20-person entourage, K-Fed lookalike Isaac Cohen included, jumped on a private jet Sunday morning and cruised to Sin City to catch Prince's midnight concert. Afterwards her posse popped on over to a gay nightclub for the "official gay after-party of the Adult Video Sexpo," just ending 4-day run in Vegas that day, according to gossip Mafioso Perez Hilton. That marked her third consecutive night of gay-club partying, according to LuxeLife-since she had been spotted in West Hollywood clubs Thursday and Friday. Then her crew parked their butts in the $40,000 per night Hugh Hefner suite at the Palms after a few nights of drinking stuff and smoking, uh, smokes.

After she awoke from her beauty sleep she dined on seared Kobe beef at Treasure Island, according to LuxeLife, before going to see Zumanity at the New York/New York and then dancing on the bar at the Coyote Ugly.

And that was just the half of it. In an effort to gain some street cred-and perhaps the cruddy rep she got from falling asleep on the job at the PURE at Caesars the last time she was in town Spears returned to the scene of the crime and even kicked it in the same cabana bed she passed out in.

Mission accomplished, and back she went to her cushy suite at the Palms Monday morning. Later that day she left in her private jet for Tinseltown-and all was well on the P.R. front-since any idiot in this business knows the only reason (well, Vegas is fun) she returned was to save some face.

This one-day bender occurred after friend (and reported "firecrotch") Lindsay Lohan just admitted herself to rehab, after reportedly admitting she had a drinking problem. And lest we forget-the little "zzz..." incident that had our own sleeping beauty calling it a night on New Year's Eve, of all nights. And finally, the fact that Paris Hilton did, reportedly, in fact, get a gig doing that NFL Network commercial that Britney wanted.

Ah well, at least Britney can sing...
