You Say It's Your Birthday!

Britney's 25th birthday bash was pretty much like any other...She went to dinner with friends, blew out some candles, opened some gifts - Oh yeah, and she did a little dance for the crowd of paps outside! (If you thought the pix were cute, check out this adorable video!)

Britney looked gorgeous in a mini-dress (with knickers underneath, thankfully) and happy to be surrounded by friends at Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills, including her manager Larry Rudolph, and the dancer she's been spending a lot of time with lately. (New BFF Paris wasn't at the dinner party, but did show up to the after-party at Hyde - that video coming later.) After Mr. Chow's, she took the party over to Hyde, where the birthday girl's arrival almost caused a fight between one feisty pap (NOT one of ours) and security! But that didn't stop Brit from partying til (almost) the break of dawn. After Hyde, the group headed back over to Mr. Chow's around 3 am (did she forget one of her gifts?) before Brit eventually headed home around 5.
