"That's Not in My Job Description, Ms. Spears."

The first time Britney Spears went on a crusade to free the caged beaver, we devoted nearly every waking moment to analyzing the situation, pouring over the photos, trying to figure out if she meant to flash her furless gash to the entire world or if she just had the intellect of a shih tzu (data was still out on that question at the time, but has more or less come down on the side of the latter in subsequent months). And what happened the second time she repeatedly exposed her cooter in public? We ignored her for eight whole days afterward. We think we're making progress. But, alas, our fair Brit once again demands our attention. Gatecrasher reveals:

Britney Spears keeps coming up with weird requests for her favorite L.A. boutiques.

She flummoxed staff at the Betsey Johnson on Melrose Ave. this month by turning up with a Dolce & Gabbana dress she wanted the store to copy - in all white - to be ready by that evening.

According to a witness, "the staff explained that they didn't have a dressmaker on call who could do it in time." Never mind that the frock she wanted copied wasn't even their label.

"The only thing she wanted to buy in the store was the yellow wig on a mannequin in the window," laughs the source. "The manager eventually agreed to offer it to her for $100."

We don't know what's got everyone in such a tizzy. We don't think Brit's request was all that bizarre. Sure, she wanted a salesperson in a store that sells clothing that is already constructed to make her a knock off of a dress from another designer, but at least she was in a clothing store. She didn't ask for a Jack in the Box night manager to do her tailoring. Nor did she enter the Betsey Johnson store and request that the saleslady bake her a loaf of ciabatta or perform an appendectomy.
