Britney sheds her clothes in racy Sapphic striptease

Two weeks after kissing Madonna with her open mouth at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears engaged in a racy striptease with two girls.

At 1 A.M. on September 14, Spears, 21, appeared unannounced onstage at Rain, a nightclub atop the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. During her performance, Spears mimicked a same-sex kiss, straddled a male dancer and was relieved of her shirt when two female dancers peeled it off her sweaty torso.

The pop star, who has been spotted recently sporting a red Kabbalah string on her left wrist, ended the 20-minute show in a revealing bra and low-rider jeans that were branded with her initials.

Spears also tried out new material, including “Breathe on Me” and “Me Against the Music,” a song she performed at the televised NFL season-kickoff concert. Both songs are scheduled to appear on her fourth album, Get in the Zone, due out November 18.
