Brit's Return to Nip-Slip Normalcy

BREAST WISHES Spears

The followers of young Hollywood sighed in collective relief this morning as photos of a topless and seemingly carefree Britney Spears trying on clothes in a Beverly Hills boutique hit the Internet.

For those who have not paid close attention to the details of Spears's meteoric rise and head-shaving fall, allow us to translate: The occasional nipple shot is an unmistakable message from the once top-of-the-charts pop star-turned mom that says to the paparazzi: "My wild child days are over. You will see no more of my meticulously plucked hoohah. But we have to work together, so, please, allow me to extend my nipple like an olive branch in hopes that we can play nice."
