UPDATE: TMZ spoke with a TSA rep who was on scene, who tells us, "There were ice chips in the cup, and that is permitted." Britney Spears did what no one else we know has ever done at LAX -- she took a Big Gulp-esque drink through security and drank with aplomb as she walked to her plane.
We contacted a security specialist from the TSA who told us screeners have "discretion" when it comes to letting liquids through security.
But we've never met anyone who's ever been able to get anything close to a Big Gulp size of liquid through security.
TMZ has put together a gallery of photos we found on the computer seized from alleged Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch member Nick Prugo ... photos which may show other big stars the Bunch had their eye on.
In almost all of the photos -- which include stars like Britney Spears, Jessica Biel, Hayden Panettiere, Bette Midler, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Goldie Hawn, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Patridge, Megan Fox and Heidi Montag -- the stars are usually wearing some pretty sizable bling.
From the list of ladies above, only Lindsay, Audrina and Megan have allegedly been hit by the Bunch -- the rest of them have emerged unscathed ... except Hayden.
Hayden's house was burglarized back in April -- and guess what was stolen? Jewelry.
Katherine Jackson's new probate lawyer has a Britney Spears connection.
Attorney Adam Streisand from the high-powered law firm of Loeb & Loeb will be repping Katherine -- this, after she fired Burt Levitch and Londell McMillan from probate duties.
Streisand -- a cousin of Barbra Streisand -- was involved early on in the Britney Spears conservatorship case. He had several meetings with Britney but says he realized she was not competent to hire a lawyer on her own so he backed out.
Team Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement with the paparazzo who accused the pop star of intentionally driving over his foot with her Mercedes back in 2007.
Rick Mendoza, who was working for TMZ at the time, had argued that Brit's people "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."
The terms of the settlement were not released -- but Mendoza had originally demanded more than $200,000 in damages.
Showing off her bikini body and her Kabbalah string, Britney Spears soaked her conservatorship bones in the Mexican sun with agent/boyfriend/minder Jason Trawick this weekend.
The 27-year-old mother of two has the #1 song in the country and curves to go with it.
TMZ has obtained dozens of photos of the disgusting, filthy rental home Kevin Federline is accused of destroying -- but the real question ... how the hell could he raise his two little boys in a bona fide dump with dismantled smoke detectors and exposed electrical wiring?
The photos show the Tarzana, CA home wasn't only dirty, but extremely dangerous -- with cigarettes and glass bottles tossed all over the yard, and broken pieces of tiles and pottery right near the play area.
Kevin Federline is accused of being a dirty, filthy, chain-smoking, home-wrecker -- and now his allegedly trashy lifestyle could cost him more than $100,000.
It's all over the Tarzana, California home where K-Fed lived until this past May -- the people who own the pad claim Federline suddenly disappeared without paying his last 6 months in rent. But the worst part -- the owners claim Federline turned their home into a cigarette-riddled, spit-stained dump.
Now, the owners have fired off a nasty letter to the wannabe rapper, demanding $110,661 in unpaid rent and damages which include:
- Gutters full of cigarette butts and empty beer bottles - A broken beer dispenser on the barbecue island - Permanent spit marks on exterior paint - Broken light covers - Bent light posts - Broken tiles - Dead trees and plants due to failure to water - Drawings all over the walls - A room that was turned into a studio (without the owners' permission) - Broken dishwasher ... with broken baskets - Dismantled smoke detectors - Front driveway oil-leak damage - Master bathroom windows tinted (without owners' permission)
... and last but certainly not least -- the owners claim K-Fed made off without returning the GARAGE DOOR OPENER!!!
In their letter to K-Fed, the home owners have threatened to take his ass to court if he doesn't pay up ... we'll let you know if that happens.
Wearing black kicks, a pair of Catholic schoolgirl yellow knee-high socks, orange Hooters shorts and a faded baby blue hoodie, Britney Spears weaved into a dance studio in L.A. on Thursday.
This is the most uncoordinated she's been since her dad placed her under the conservatorship.
Wearing some sort of Ugg boot hybrid, Daisy Dukes, a Mrs. Roper muumuu crop top and her regulation '70s nana shades, Britney Spears -- and her bodyguards -- went for their daily trip to a Target in L.A. on Wednesday.
Video of Britney Spears' so-called on stage lap dance for Lance Bass has finally surfaced -- and let's just say if it happened at a strip club ... dude would definitely get his money back.
It all went down -- or didn't -- at Brit's concert in Las Vegas this weekend. Instead of actually dancing in Lance's lap -- hence the term "lap dance" -- Brit Brit just sort of shimmies in the ex-NSYNCer's vicinity in next-to-nothing for a 'lil bit.
Britney Spears, two tater tots in hand, invaded the Sugar Factory candy store in Las Vegas this weekend ... and dropped more money on candy than most people do on a new TV.
We're told Brit went buck nutty on the sweets -- three Halloween baskets for her kids, two buckets of Swedish fish and a box of Sugar Factory milk chocolate. Where she really went off was on lollipops: 25 of her own Circus Tour pops for a whopping $25 a piece.
Britney Spears will share 50/50 custody with Kevin Federline at least through the end of the year -- TMZ has learned.
An L.A. County Superior Court judge extended the order that was initially put in place for Britney's concert tour. Under the terms, Britney gets to travel with Sean Preston and Jayden James and must provide K-Fed with a place to stay if he wants to follow them on tour.
Sources tell us the sealed order is very detailed, but Britney gets minimum 50/50 custody and at times even more.
As for Kevin, in addition to the $20,000 a month Britney pays him in child support, he gets between $20,000 and $25,000 a month when the kids are outside of California.
At the end of the year the judge will reevaluate custody. We're told it's looking like a 50/50 split is the way of the future.
A paparazzo has put a price on his foot -- $221,533.59, and he wants Britney Spears to foot the bill.
Britney Spears ran over photog Ricardo Mendoza's foot while leaving a medical building in 2007. Mendoza, who worked as a photog for TMZ at the time, sued Britney but never specified how much he thought his foot was worth. But now he has.
Mendoza claims he's suffered $195,000 in general damages, $16,533.59 in medical bills and $10,000 for any future foot problems.
Right after the accident Mendoza said he would let bygones be bygones and actually allowed us to auction his sock off for charity. But hey, business is business.
With her weave pulled up, '70s nana shades and iced coffee in hand, a fit looking Britney Spears pretended it was 2007 while out in Calabasas on Tuesday.
Luckily, she wore shoes and didn't drive off with Adnan.
