With her usual gang of photographers on her untoned tail, Britney Spears emerged from her convertible Mercedes on Wednesday looking like a street urchin gypsy. I'll read your palm, y'all!

Accompanied by her assistant, and her BFF aka that hideous gold handbag, Brit lumbered through a sea of paps into a Beverly Hills office building elevator. Going down, no doubt!

The flashbulb frenzy nearly caused Brit's burly bodyguard from getting on the elevator. Save yourself, dude. Save yourself!
