For all you Britney fans waiting for the return of the young, sexy, pop star we once knew and loved, I think it's safe to say she's on her way back! Just four weeks ago Brit gave birth to baby boy Sutton and she's already lookin' hot! X17 is bringing you the first, exclusive pix of Britney after the birth -- she was shopping in Malibu yesterday and in fact I think maybe she wanted to be photographed to show off her hot new bod and our competition must have been asleep!
(And this is hardly all we've got - we'll be adding more pix to this story as soon as we can prep 'em, so keep checking back!)
Brit shopped at Planet Blue kids with her new bodyguard and she looked really happy and healthy. She was in such a good mood because people didn't recognize her and she was able to shop without hassle. She had her heals on, a conservative argyle sweater vest (???), and her hair is auburn.
She's reportedly training every day to get in shape for Kevin's record release on Halloween and looks like she's doing pretty well -- she's be back to 1000 crunches a day before we know it!

Britney is back! Eat your heart out to any of Britney's fat butt critics! She will have a comback in months per sources in LA... She is tired of Paris being the "it" blonde. Watch out world.. Britney is back.

She looks great!!! It's hard to believe that she gave birth just 5 weeks ago ( 5 weeks ago tomorrow). It is easy for celebs to lose the weight quickly though, with all the help they have - nannies, personal trainers etc.

Umm it's not safe to exercise before your 6 week checkup after having a baby! I heard she had a tummy tuck during the c section as well.. which reminds me that the 6 week rule is for mom's who had babies naturally, with c sections it's a longer wait to exercise!

I hear she had lipo after the c-section. Ofcourse she did. Thats why we havent seen her out and about. She was healing from the work she had done. She is still a hill-billy.

Her body does look amazing (although she could have had a more supportive bra on) - I hope she's not over-doing it with the exercising, especially 'cause she had a c-section. She could have put some make-up on, and washed/brushed her hair though for her first public appearance!

Millionaire and can't afford a bra with support? No excuse for that. And enough with all the ooohs and aahs...PLEASE...she lost some weight with the help of a surgeon and a trainer and a cook!

Britney is looking awesome, she's slowly starting to remind of the "Britney before Kevin"
I don't hate the dude, but i think she's better then him and she could get a much hotter guy and a guy with money who can give her the world, Kevin can't, he's leaning on Britney far too much with his album crap. He's using her money and some of his i guess when u add up the club/photoshoots, anyway he's using her mostly to get his album going and once his careers sets off and then by some miracle gets some fans and starts making money Britney won't be so important to him anymore i just got a bad feeling about the dude he gives off a moochie vibe, a lazy ass who can't take care of one of his kids let alone 4 of them Britney should kick him to the curbe. Anyway she looks good, a bra would be good lol but it's all good honey she's fine and always will be.

People, are you kidding me? FAT ASS? BIG BOOBS? She had a baby a MONTH ago! Breasts filled with milk perhaps? Some of you are too moronic for words!
She looks EXTREMELY good for someone who gave birth a littl over a month ago. Get yourself eductated before blabbing nonsense. That right there is class, breastfeeding (which helps loose weight extremely!) and hard work. Lipo and nip-tuck? Idiots!

Okay, Brit you need to be fitted for a bra honey, cause your girls are sagging and that is never a good look. Just because you have a little k fed hanging from your boobs everyday doesn't mean you can go out without a bra...that's just not classy.

I wouldn't want to be in this woman's shoes.
Being human and living with other humans (and oneself) is facing opposition, but this woman is fighting the whole world (almost) and doesn't even know it... (or maybe she does)
If she wins against herself the should be relatively easy.

Ready or not here she comes. She looks so happy. I want to see the little fellow. Her boobs are so Huge most likly because she is breast feeding.

WHAT LOOKS GOOD ABOUT HER? her awful clothes? her narty face? her breasts touching her belt? Ew. After seeing brit for the past 2 years im convinced all her pics were photoshopped before. Can't believe i was in love with her before. shes SO FUGLY.
