Britney Snaps Cause Holy Snit
Britney Spears might incur the wrath of the judge in her custody battle -- we'll find out later today -- but first she'll have to deal with the outrage of the Catholic Church.
A picture of Brit perched on the lap of a priest in her new album "Blackout" is being called "the bottom of the barrel" by Bill Donohue, President of the New York-based Catholic League, according to the New York Daily News. "She's not even allowed to bring up her own kids because she's not responsible enough. Now we see she can't even entertain."
Meanwhile, in case you hadn't heard, the album drops today, and the other shoe -- Commissioner Scott Gordon's decision in the custody case -- will drop as well, and TMZ will be all over it.
