Customs officials aren't the only ones interested in celebrity passports. State Department employees may be more interested in Britney Spears that you would ever have thunk.
An internal audit shows widespread, improper accessing of famous people's passports. The audit checked 150 notable celebs, including entertainers, athletes and politicos. 85% of them had been accessed 4,148 times between September 2002 and March 2008. State Dept. officials say that is way excessive and they smell a rat.
The audit doesn't mention specific celebs, but you gotta believe Britney is on the list. J. Edgar Hoover lives on!

Diana Bianchi tried to parlay the infamy from wrecking Christie Brinkley and porny Peter Cook's marriage into a music career -- right up until she got paid by Pervy Pete to keep her mouth shut.
Spies tell TMZ Bianchi stopped production on her big musical debut earlier this year because some of the songs contained specific references to her fling with Cook -- and that would've violated her deal with him.
Several people who worked long and hard to do videos and other parts of the project haven't been paid -- and they're PO'd.
As they wait for their coin -- they're considering legal action. Diana's mouthpiece didn't immediately return a call for comment.

Shaun Barrowes, a top 48 contestant on this season's "American Idol," is begging for a loan online. He's asking for $10,000 "to market a product I've already spent $70,000 on." Where do we sign?
Barrowes feels he's a good candidate for a loan and says, "The only reason why I need this money is because I was on American Idol for FIVE months without any income at all, and that set me back a little."
Barrowes is mum on the product. We're guessin' it has something to do with karaoke.
