Britney Spears has Ring Worm

Another scoop for Mother!

Sources close to Britney Spears today confirmed that the troubled pop star has ringworm.

Ms. Spears, a skilled practioner of herbal medicine, had her head shaved to combat the fungal infection. Sources say she is using jewelweed poultices to treat the condition. The jewelweed plant is shown in the photo to the right.

On seeing photos of Britney with shaved pate, K-Fed, her estranged boo who failed miserably to "bring sexy back," rushed to her side bearing a bottle of Glover's Mange.

K-Fed fashioned a stocking cap for Britney and presented it to her as a token of his affection. Cynics maintain his actions had little to do with affection for Ms. Spears and everything to do with containing the worm and keeping it away from his sons, Baby-Fed I and II.

You be the judge.
