Britney Spears celebrated the launch of her eagerly anticipated new album the only way she knew how – by hitting Winston’s in L.A.

The Toxic singer – who was accompanied by friends Sam Lufti and Alli Sims - emerged from the club clutching her mouth as she was carefully guided to her car by friends looking a little worse for wear.

According to reports, whilst in the club the 25-year-old made ‘frequent trips to the bathroom’ and 'changed outfits not once, but twice.'

Witnesses at the club also claim Spears requested that the DJ play her latest track Gimme More.

The mother-of-two – who was sporting blemished skin and neglected hair extensions - emerged from the hotspot shortly after 2 a.m (PDT).
