Uncensored: Britney goes topless in her new video

Troubled Britney Spears reveals a whole lot more in uncensored outtakes from the racy new video to her single 'Gimme More' - as the singer is seen completely topless.

The previously unseen shots show a bra-less Britney in her role as a tattoo-clad pole dancer, with her arms across her chest, and her modesty barely protected by a pair of 'nipple flowers'.

The raunchy promo, said to be completely Britney's "concept and her vision" was directed by Jake Sarfaty, according to American magazine People.

The first-time director was "hand-picked" by Britney to make the 4-minute clip which sees Britney play dual roles as a racy pole dancer and a blonde onlooker watching the raunchy girlie show.

The new song is now a success on the music charts - despite the pop star's turbulent personal life and the humiliation of her much-panned performance at MTV's Video Music Awards.

This week, Gimme More - released to US radio stations in August - topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart at No. 1 with 179,000 downloads, and jumped from No. 68 to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100.

The song is the first single from her new album titled Blackout, set for release on November 13.

Earlier this week, a judge ordered the 25-year-old to temporarily hand over custody of her two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

On Wednesday, a Los Angeles court commissioner granted Britney some visitation rights, but Kevin, 29, remains full-time dad to Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

Another custody hearing is scheduled for Oct. 26.
