We’ve seen the pictures. We already know. Brit-Brit is a hot mess.

Now even MSNBC is passing along tabloid details on the areas where Britney Spears is just losing it.

Spears is “drinking heavily again, binge shopping and eating like there’s no tomorrow,” according to Star magazine. What’s more, the "Toxic" singer is jeopardizing her cherished relationship with kid sister Jamie Lynn because of her ongoing feud with her mother, Lynne.

“On several occasions, I have seen her pouring alcohol into energy drink cans,” a source told the tab. And, says one insider: “Britney requests that her alcohol be served in carafes rather than in bottles. Once, a waitress made the mistake of bringing her a bottle. Brit grabbed her arm and told her she couldn’t be seen with it.”…

Spears reportedly caused a scene at the L.A. nightclub Joseph on June 25. The singer stripped down to a purple bra and “was dancing and singing her own music, which she brought in,” an “observer” told Star.

Ooh! A new twist on the vodka or champagne in the water bottle trick.

Though if Britney wants to keep her implosion under cover, she should try keeping her shirt on.

According to People, Lynne Spears, despite being on the receiving end of a personally delivered nasty-gram, is confident that it will all work out.

"Everything is going to be fine," she told PEOPLE while shopping in Kentwood, La. "I’ve got a strong family, and everything is going to be fine."

Spears, who was picking up groceries at a local store on Sunday, also said that "hopefully" daughter Britney will make it to a family cookout in their hometown for the Fourth of July holiday.

Britney Spears seems to be on a different page than Mama Spears and doesn’t sound like she’s moving toward any reconciliation.

I’m praying for her right now. [I hope] she gets all the help she needs," [Britney] Spears said.

Whether the two can overcome their differences, she said, "In time, who knows what will happen?" Spears also insinuated that she likely would not go to Kentwood for the holiday, saying, "I don’t know. I like it here."

Stalemate?

Nah…

Lynne knows her daughter. She knows her weaknesses, too.

Don’t be surprised if you read on Thursday that Britney was lured to Lynne’s Independence Day Intervention/BBQ by a trail of Cheetos.

Mmmmm….cheesy!

Britney Spears went shopping yesterday and conveniently forgot that a changing room is for covering your nudity. Is that a guilty expression on her face? Maybe she has her newest legal troubles on her mind.

We kept hearing about this escalation in the Britney vs. her Mom feud. With additional details surfacing, it’s getting uglier.

Apparently, Brit-Brit is in a snit-snit about Lynne’s friendship with Kevin Federline, Shar Jackson, et al, and is still fuming that her mom sided with Federline during the rehab/intervention and during custody wrangling.

According to X17, "a source" is confirming that Britney Spears is about to file a request for a restraining order against her mother, Lynne Spears.

Our source tells us that the paperwork is completed and that Britney is claiming her mother is abusing prescription pain medication and that she should be kept away from Sean and Jayden. The papers are supposed to be filed today or tomorrow.

Since Britney and Lynne are estranged, Grandma Spears has to visit the grandbabies when they’re with Federline. The restraining order, if it goes through, will stop those playdates.

In the topsy-turvy, Cheetos-fueled, head-shaving, nip-slip world of Britney it’s hard to tell whether any of it is true.

The strain doesn’t stop her from going out every night or shopping with her friends by day.

If Grandma is banned, who is watching those kids she’s so concerned about?
