So much for chestnuts roasting on the open fire.

Britney Spears has weakened her custody case (and the judge’s opinion of her)
with her “model” parenting behavior. The weekend before Christmas, she went on a wild shopping spree, driving without headlines (strike one) and the trunk open (strike two) and then parking in a spot for the disabled (strike three). She entered a Rite-Aid store, telling photographers: “I have stuff I have to buy for my babies.” There, for a little under $15, she bought a plush hours for kids labeled 4 and up — her sons are both under 2 years old (strike four). She then spent the night with an unnamed photographer (strike five) and screamed and cursed at paparrazi (strike… oh, never mind.)

At least she didn’t get drunk.
