Britney's New Bitch

Girlfriend just bought a parakeet and now she wants another dog?! Britney shopped for a chihuahua yesterday, though she went home empty-handed.

As for her nighttime activites yesterday? -- NO CONCERT! She was rumored to have been on the bill with Cindy Lauper, Erasure, and others for the True Colors tour date in LA. We were there, just in case, but Queen B didn't show up, as more recent rumors had warned she wouldn't. I'm not sure if it was just wishful thinking on the part of Rosie O'Donnell that Brit would be there or perhaps a gig that fell through, but the fact that we hadn't been seeing Britney in the dance studio was kind of a sign ...

Meanwhile, we got another EXCLUSIVE video with Brit's mom yesterday and that clip of her simple, but revealing response to our questions about the restraining order and her relationship with her daughter is coming later! Stay tuned ...
