OMFG. The dazed, haggard Britney Spears of old apparently emerged yesterday in L.A. Wow. How we missed crazy pants ... and the fact that she doesn't wear any.

Okay, she's technically got shorts on - and a bra, oddly enough - but come on. Those things would probably be too big on her sons (who we hope never read this).

Check out Britney below, with a bodyguard trying to steer her in the right direction, looking either irate, confused or just out to lunch. Starbucks in hand, natch.

The knee-high socks are a great touch ...

Britney's patterned bra and colorful, cute underwear sure caught people’s attention, but not as much as her unflattering facial expressions and growls of frustration.

Once again mired in controversy about her child-rearing and her relationship woes, Britney’s odd behavior and frazzled appearance point to continued inner turmoil.

Earlier in the week, social workers made a visit to her home as part of an investigation launched amid allegations by a former bodyguard that she abused her kids.

Is she able to keep it together? Is she stable enough to handle life without her dad's supervision? The Britney Spears pictures below don't make a strong case ...
