Super Bowl bins no knicks Britney

Britney's lack of knickers could cost her dear

Look here too

Britney Spears has lost out on a lucrative Super Bowl deal - for flashing her nether regions at the paparazzi.

The singer, 25, asked to appear in an allstar TV commercial to promote the US National Football League Network at half-time during next month's gridiron final. In a further snub, fellow party girl Paris Hilton is tipped to appear.

NFL executives got cold feet after Spears was photographed wearing no knickers while out with Hilton and Lindsay Lohan last month. An NFL source said: 'Britney is too much of a train wreck. Besides, we already have Paris.' The NFL Network ad - during the mostwatched TV event in the US calendar - is likely to feature Hilton alongside rapper LL Cool J and country band Rascal Flatts.

'Janet Reno and David Beckham are also on the wish-list,' added the source. 'Larry David said he might do it.'

NFL bosses have been anxious about TV coverage since Janet Jackson's famed 'wardrobe malfunction' at the 2004 Super Bowl, when she revealed a bare breast to millions. Spears was unavailable for comment last night.
