Bikini Clad Britney Spears Hits the Beach after Gym

Britney Spears, who is shaping up for a comeback, took a break from her new gym routine by sunning herself on a Malibu beach in the company of a friend.
Sporting a yellow bikini which appeared too tight, Britney sunbathed, read magazines and at one point even paddled her feet in the water before covering up and heading off home.

The princess of pop was spotted working up a sweat on the cardio machines at Bally's Fitness Center in Studio City, Los Angeles, earlier this week. She is supposed to shed twenty pounds in thirty days.

Sources say the troubled singer has already started recording again and after being reunited with ex-manager Larry Rudolph, and that she has realised it's time to regain her figure, which critics have said she has "let go" since meeting now ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2004.
Her "excess" weight came under criticism after she stunned fans at the MTV Video Music Awards in last September with a disastrous performance of "Gimme More".
