Britney's Paid Posse

The boys on Britney's payroll were her reinforcements in Hollywood on Thursday night.

A pair of Brit's backup dancers and her tour choreographer accompanied the gum-cracking star into Area nightclub, where they met up with the rest of the unholy triumvirate; Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

While Brit can be seen holding hands with one of the guys, TMZ can confirm that it's no love connection. The two are just friends.
