To celebrate the glory of K-Fed's wildly successful PR appearance in Times Square yesterday, wife Britney Spears took her pennies to Columbus Circle (you knew she was a mallrat). A reader provides the above images and reports that a stroller was on the scene, being put to good use as a shopping cart.

As luck would have it, I had my camera and was happily snapping away when Mr. Security came up and told me that this was a private moment. I said ,"Really, in a public space, how interesting." I snapped one more before Mr. Security told me to move on. I shot back telling him he was no Perry the Manny.

Because of this woman's bravery, now we can enjoy pictures of Britney's oddly broad back. Such noble sacrifice! As for the clever brown wig: covering fake hair with more fake hair does not, sadly, count as a disguise.

Lowest common denominator bonus: larger pics after the jump.
