Congratulations! Britney Spears is officially not a member of the 27 Club.
By surviving until today, her 28th birthday, she doesn't join the ranks of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones -- who all died at 27 under mysterious circumstances.
Brit celebrated another year of life last night at the Saddle Ranch with BF Jason Trawick ... and just to be safe, she didn't ride the mechanical bull.

Brit Brit returned from down undah with an Aussie flag pillow to rest her weave on -- and a sea of paparazzi ready to snap away.
Welcome back!

Britney Spears has lost it -- and by that, we mean all her touring equipment.
TMZ has learned a bus carrying all off Britney's tour equipment rolled off the road in Parkes, New South Wales in Australia.
According to police there, it happened around 4:30 PM during a bad storm. The winds became too strong and blew the truck off the road, rolling it over.
Police say the driver was taken to the hospital, but the equipment was undamaged.
So Britney has all the tools to lip sync tonight at the Rod Laver Arena tonight.

Britney Spears' paparazzo ex boyfriend was just sentenced to 45 days in county jail after pleading no contest last month to leaving the scene of an accident.
But it's not as bad as it seems ... Adnan Ghalib gets ONE day credit for time already spent behind bars. Score!
Ghalib will also be placed on formal probation for 36 months, has to complete 52 weeks of anger management classes and 45 days of Caltrans (hard labor).
This all stems from an incident back in February, when Ghalib allegedly ran over a process server with his car. Ghalib was initially charged with three felonies: assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run, but the first two charges were dropped as a part of his plea deal.

With her conservatorship body back to pre-meltdown shape, Britney Spears once again hung out in a skimpy two-piece swimsuit in Sydney this weekend.
If she's not careful, Brit's bikini bottom could sink to a new low.

Britney Spears took a break from lip-syncing and arm dancing to spend time in Australia with BF Jason Trawick and her two kids, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
In one year, from cuckoo's nest to Donna Reed. Who'd have thunk it!?!?!

Britney Spears is admitting to being a devil-worshiping Satan fanatic who embraces a "new world order" ... at least according to her Twitter page.
Turns out her Twitter account was hacked by a cyber-demonic force this morning ... and we're not talking about Sam Lutfi. Along with giving "Glory to Satan," the background to her page has gone from images of her "3" video ... to pyramids inscribed with the name of the alleged secret society Illuminati.
Chances are unless new world order and Illuminati are the names of indie bands, Brit has no clue what those terms mean. And as for the praise for Lucifer, everyone knows Britney doesn't speak in tongues ... she lip-synchs.

Britney Spears blew through $1.32 MILLION on lawyers in a recent 7-month span -- but the result was priceless.
The money has been used to pay off the lawyers who represented Britney's conservatorship -- the group of people who have essentially restored Britney.
The court order makes it clear: More fees are on the way ... and Britney's conservators need to stash a few bucks away to prepare.
BTW, it cost Britney roughly $280,000 in lawyer's fees to keep Adnan Ghalib, Sam Lutfi and Jon Eardley away from her.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with a TSA rep who was on scene, who tells us, "There were ice chips in the cup, and that is permitted."
Britney Spears did what no one else we know has ever done at LAX -- she took a Big Gulp-esque drink through security and drank with aplomb as she walked to her plane.
We contacted a security specialist from the TSA who told us screeners have "discretion" when it comes to letting liquids through security.
But we've never met anyone who's ever been able to get anything close to a Big Gulp size of liquid through security.
So...

Team Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement with the paparazzo who accused the pop star of intentionally driving over his foot with her Mercedes back in 2007.
Rick Mendoza, who was working for TMZ at the time, had argued that Brit's people "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."
The terms of the settlement were not released -- but Mendoza had originally demanded more than $200,000 in damages.
