With a considerable fortune and am army of stylists at her behest, there's never any reason for Britney Spears to look shabby. She's human, of course, and like anyone is entitled to scruffy days, but it's amazing how frequently the 29-year-old is seen with unkempt hair. Admittedly, her Femme Fatale tour is in full, glorious swing and requires the pop superstar to be styled to within an inch of her life.
So it's perhaps liberating to be free from the restraints of rhinestone-encrusted butterfly wings AND styling her hair. That was certainly the case as the blonde arrived at LAX today with her boyfriend Jason Trawick, 39 , to catch a flight to the UK.
The star was sporting a casual outfit olive T-shirt with black leggings and a pair of bizarre tan fringed boots, and looked rather glum. Britney managed to crack the slightest of smiles as she headed to the terminal with her man, who manfully dealt with all the luggage.
This lugubrious demeanour did little to convey the enthusiasm for this London trip that Britney suggested on her Twitter account. She wrote last week: 'So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks. Can't wait! I LOVE London, it's like my second home. 'Decided to shoot the Criminal video in the streets of merry old England when I get there...'
BreatheHeavy.com report that the video will feature Britney playing the long-suffering girlfriend of a dangerous bad boy. Their information has that the film will start with the couple attending a lavish event before the trouble-causing lover starts a fight. A character referred to as Jason - just like the singer's boyfriend - comes along and breaks up the fight, and starts fighting the dastardly lothario. Jason sweeps Britney off her feet, then the two embark on what seems to be a Bonnie and Clyde-style crime spree.
It will reunite Britney with her I Wanna Go director, Chris Marrs Piliero. He and Spears have yet to confirm all these details, but the mother-of-two, who recently had her representative deny engagement rumours, has hinted that the film will be 'interesting.' She said recently: 'Actually, the song, when I first heard it, it's really different and it's not anything I've heard like this before.
So I really wanted to deliver this song. I was thinking of a really cool concept for the video just to make it interesting, you'll have to see.'Britney is also working on a remix album due out next month and a concert special set to air on Epix. The special, which airs in November, features footage from her Femme Fatale Tour, which is heading to Europe this month.
