Late-breaking news on the Britney Spears religion beat.

Hours after I’d posted this important news about a Kentucky church that has taken up Britney as A Cause (and cause celebre?) this item crackled across the wire:

Britney Spears is now set to outrage the Catholic Church with this kinky “confession” photo-shoot.

In the shortest of skirts, the troubled star flashes her fishnet stocking-clad legs in the confessional box while a handsome priest listens to her repenting.

In another “very naughty” pose for her new album Blackout, she even sits on his lap in the cubicle, an insider revealed last night.

Britney is a little late coming to the Let’s-Shock-Catholics party.

That is sooo Madonna in 1989.
