Troubled celebrity singer Britney Spears has been banned from a Hollywood nightclub because of the "media circus" that follows her. Vincent Laresca, the co-owner of West Hollywood hot spot Villa, has told the singer she will be refused entry if she attempts to attend the club in the future.
He tells the New York Times, "She came twice, but we don't want the media circus that would create."
It is not the first time Spears has been refused entry - she was banned from West Hollywood's Hustler store after she stripped down to her underwear in November last year.

Britney Spears has sold well over 20 million records worldwide, and she made history as the youngest female artist to have her debut single and debut album (...Baby One More Time) top the Billboard charts in the same week. At 18, she had another No. 1 album on her hands, Oops!... I Did It Again, and in 2001 Britney was released, shocking audiences with the provocative video for "Slave 4 U."
Trying her luck on the big screen, Britney Spears starred in 2002's Crossroads, along with actress-singer Taryn Manning. Unfortunately, it showcased Britney's physical assets more than her acting range, and the movie bombed. But Britney bounced back the following year with the album In The Zone.

In 2005, she gave birth to her first baby boy, Sean Preston Federline, and in 2006, she gave birth to her second son, Jayden James.
Britney Spears made waves in the media yet again in 2007 with all kinds of strange antics... She checked into rehab in February, only to check out the next day and walk into a salon to shave all her hair off. She attacked a photographer with an umbrella and was charged with a misdemeanor for a hit-and-run (again, involving the paparazzi). In October she lost custody of her children to ex-husband K-Fed.
