Photos from Britney Spears’ Twitter.
The Post isn’t much for reporting on when celebrties are in town (which would be at least every week when Dexter or CSI Miami takes over Downtown and Belmont Shore), but we felt compelled to follow up with the Britney Spears sightings that started coming in last weekend when she apparently stopped into Beachwood BBQ and Brewing for dinner.
What we found is that the trainwreck of pop herself was in fact in Long Beach for two days filming a commerical on the Queen Mary for her new Elizabeth Arden fragrence, Fantasy Twist.
RadarOnline.com is reporting that the pop star was sporting extra security during the shoot and “spent a lot of time in hair and make-up and nervously bit her fingernails and kept smoking throughout.” The anonymous source also said she appeared “robotic and out of it…and seemed to be just going through the motions when the camera was rolling.”
We’re not sure how this description is different from any other report of how Spears operates (apparently, she’s been over the whole “pop stardom” thing since 2007), but she did manage to put down the cigarettes long enough to Tweet some photos of her dressed up like Cleopatra and Jean Harlow in the wood-and-brass hallways of the Queen Mary Hotel’s decks.
No word yet on when the commercial will premiere, but the fragrance comes out September 1.
