Britney Spears Starving Herself

Paul @ Gone Hollywood | Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Britney Spears is reportedly starving herself in hopes of slimming down for her performance on The X Factor this coming Saturday.

Spears apparently wants to look as good as she can when she performs her song Womanizer on the U.K. talent show, her first appearance on British TV in five years.

According to reports Britney, who arrived in Germany for a special appearance, is hoping to lose over seven pounds before she takes the stage on Saturday.

A source said that in order to look as good as judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue (see thumbnails) Britney “goes to bed hungry and is dieting so hard she’s suffering from insomnia, anxiety, flushes and shakes. Her father and the people around her are trying to get her to eat more, but Britney is determined not to be criticized for having any extra bulk.”
