Britney’s Bikini Pics Before Rehab

Us Magazine has unleashed pictures of Britney Spears in a bikini amid her latest public rehab stint. Supposedly she borrowed the skimpy swimwear from some random fans she met in the bathroom (after shaving her legs, of course).

Bright and early on February 17, a newly bald Spears arrived at L.A.’s chic Mondrian hotel, ready to catch some rays. But the star was denied a room due to lack of credit cards or cash. By 11 a.m., an undeterred Spears, 25, had stripped down to a bra and panties poolside, then shaved her legs in the pool bathroom. “It was sad,” says a source. “It looked like she really needed a friend.”

Now this is where it gets bad — Britney finds the liquor cabinet!

She got two – at least for a few hours. Around noon, Spears (then in a blonde wig) began chatting up a woman in the bathroom, who offered to loan the pop star a bathing suit. Spears followed her new friend to her hotel room where — after changing into a borrowed bikini — she raided the minibar. “She grabbed four or five bottles and just started mixing everything and drinking them.”

Would she have licked coke off a plate, had her friends been rock stars?
