As the world tries to figure out exactly what Britney Spears was thinking when she went on her no panties world tour 2006 all around Los Angeles the theories run the gamut. Some believe the young mother of two just wanted to give her career a boost by creating a buzz.
Britney Spears No Panties Photos Inspired by Brad Pitt Film?
That was the whole idea behind that now famous lesbian kiss with Madonna on nationwide television from the MTV stage in 2003.

So I'm fairly certain these crotch shots were planned to get Britney back to the top of the search engines and back on newscasts and Internet blogs.
Certainly as sad as the display was - she accomplished that. I saw the flashbulbs popping on Britney from CNN to my local news and of course the entertainment media online was all over the scandal.

Now veteran gossip Janet Charlton takes a stab at Britney's mindset. Charlton writes that someone offered up the theory that perhaps Britney was inspired by the Brad Pitt film Babel.
I have yet to see the film but Janet reports that a main character, played to perfection by Rinko Kikuchi, is a disturbed mute Japanese schoolgirl who is desperate for attention.
She leaves her underpants at home and flashes startled onlookers in restaurants and such. Apparently the looks on their faces are gratifying to her. Maybe the newly single Britney was crying out for help with the same inappropriate behavior.

I don't think I can see Britney watching Babel, but one never knows.
