You might need to sit down for this. There is a Britney Spears sex tape! Shocking isn't it?

Britney, 24, fears the raunchy footage will destroy her wholesome image unless she caves in to his demands for a £16million payoff and custody of their children Sean Preston, one, and Jayden James, eight weeks.

She is worried she will become infamous like Paris Hilton —whose home-made sex video, was put on the internet by her ex and became one of the world's most popular sites.

Federline, 28, has bragged to pals that his X-rated tape shows the Oops, I Did It Again singer performing a series of explicit sex acts.

The home-made video is believed to show the naked couple enjoying an uninhibited range of love-making and sexual games.It was made during the first weeks of their relationship two years ago when they were holed up in one of the exclusive bungalows at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles.

I am not in the habit of offering advice to millionaire ex-pop star ho-bags but Britney darling, just let it go.

There is no way you are going to be able to stop the release of this tape, or some portion of it, so you might as well just kick the loser to the curb and start getting your career back on track.

The idea that there is any hope of recapturing your wholesome girl image is a crack-pipe dream. That ship has sailed, hit an iceberg, and sank to the inky depths of no fucking way!

But you can hit Vegas, all tarted up and espousing your new mature sexuality, and I know that there are plenty of forty something male fans who were once ashamed of their "Britney fixation" that will gladly pony up $50 or $60 a pop to see you strut across the stage in a revealing outfit and singing off key like the good old days.

The sex tape will not destroy your career, hell it made Paris Hilton's semi-career, and she was not even a good fuck. If you have half of the moves in bed that you had on stage then you may set the bar extremely high for all future celebrity sex tape performers to come.

My advice is to get a good lawyer and make sure you get your fair share of the sex tape royalties, cause that should be a very healthy chunk of change indeed!
