Britney Spears sure loves to change her clothes -- the dethroned pop princess is often seen wearing a plethora of looks on the same day. For someone who doesn't have much going on, she sure has a whole lotta wardrobe changes! Why? Is Britney changing clothes to sell photos -- and profiting from it?
When a star is snapped on the same day wearing the same thing, chances are that media outlets (like TMZ) are less likely to purchase more than one photo. But when a gallivanting starlet wears one look during the day (like the Kritik outfit on the left) and then changes into another (ghetto housewife, right), the photos of both outfits will likely sell. Cha-ching!
So, if Britney's multiple looks are a calculated strategy to sell photos -- is she in on the deal?
Rumors are that Britney is working with a certain stalkerazzi agency. We contacted Brit's rep but didn't hear back by post time.

A furious photog unleashed a nasty verbal attack, along with several gallons of sweat and saliva, at a fellow member of his paparazzi agency yesterday, after accusing the shutterbug of jock-blocking his shot of Britney Spears.
The explosion occurred outside Brit's Malibu mansion, when a photog for X17 paparazzi agency noticed another member of his company vying for footage of the rehabbed pop star. The maniac instigator, who claimed he had the exclusive on the Britney beat, blew up in a expletive-filled rage, screaming "Get the f**k out of here! It is my story ... you're not supposed to be here!"
Twenty or more paps gather each day near Britney's home, waiting for her next move. Get over it dude.

Just because a guy runs a blog doesn't mean he can't throw down. That's the message we got from blogger Perez Hilton after he was confronted by a photog at Wednesday night's Xbox 360 party.

TMZ has obtained video of events immediately after a chain collision in which Ellen DeGeneres was injured.
The accident occurred last Friday, just before 4 p.m. on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles. Paparazzi from the X17 photo agency were following the 2006 Porsche Carrera in which DeGeneres and girlfriend Portia de Rossi were riding. DeGeneres and the paparazzi (in a Buick behind her) were both stopped at a light, when Jeanne Werber, who was driving a 2002 Porsche Carrera, slammed into the Buick, which in turn slammed into DeGeneres' Porsche.
The video -- shot by an X17 photographer -- shows a clearly-shaken Ellen and Portia getting out of their car after the crash. Ellen is immediately concerned about the lurking danger of gasoline, saying, "I'm worried about a gas leak...be careful about the gas."
One of the paparazzi asks Ellen if she's hurt. Ellen replies, "Yeah, we're kinda hurt." Ellen returns the favor by asking the paparazzo, "Are you alright?"
The back of the Buick looks like an accordion, the trunk seemingly smashed into the back seat.
At the end of the tape, Werber, who apparently caused the crash, is seen talking to an officer, clearly agitated. Werber was arrested and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Ellen complained of neck and back pain. Portia complained of back pain.
TMZ spoke with Jeanne Werber Sunday afternoon. Werber denied she was driving drunk, telling TMZ, "I'm just a normal wife. I went to the grocery store and was going home." She insists, "I will prove I wasn't drunk." Werber claims, "the car in front of me stopped short. I thought it was insurance fraud." Werber was unaware that paparazzi were in the Buick; she was also unaware that DeGeneres and de Rossi were in the Porsche.
An LAPD official tells TMZ that Werber refused to submit to a blood alcohol test. Under California law, such refusal results in an automatic six month license suspension.
The case will be referred to prosecutors this week.
