It Just Got Harder for Britney to Get a Drink

Britney SpearsHold the Venti Iced Frappuccino! Britney Spears may now have to drive -- or be driven (we hope) -- a little further to get her $5 buzz.

Brit's old stomping ground, Starbucks, has just announced they are closing 600 of their underperforming stores in the U.S.. Although Britney -- and her fellow over-caffeinated and oversized sunglass-wearing peers -- do their daily part to keep the coffee chain afloat, around 12,000 positions will be eliminated.

On the lighter side, Britney will always have gas stations.

7. Caffeine buzz? Look at all of the cream on top of the coffee. Britney's drink is loaded with fat, cholesterol and sugar.
