Britney's Late Night Tanning Excursion

Britney's late-night escapades continue, but this time it's a little more innocent than her favorite Hollywood nightclubs.

“Extra” spotted the troubled pop star heading into a Malibu tanning salon late at night.

Britney, hand-in-hand with a new friend, popped into the salon for a little touch up as paparazzi snapped away.

But has Britney's bizarre behavior burned her comeback chances?

Today Isaiah Washington's public relations guru Howard Bragman is doling out some photo-op advice to Britney.

He says, “I don't want to see her kids going out to eat at 10:30 at night…I want to see her in the park. I want to see her taking them places that are appropriate.”

Now there are new reports that the comedienne who ripped Britney apart during the MTV VMAs – which hurt Britney's chances for a comeback - isn't making any apologies.

Sarah Silverman, the sarcastic host of the show who publicly called Britney's two young sons “the most adorable mistakes you will ever see,” insists that the joke was “innocuous” and is surprised at the backlash.

“It never occurred to me that would be deemed hurtful or over the line,” she tells Us Weekly.

The joke was reportedly one of the reasons Britney flopped on stage. Rumors have been swirling since the VMA disaster that Britney found out Sarah would make the comment and was furious.
