Britney Spears' Acting Coach Says She's A 'Talentless Wannabe'

Britney Spears? acting coach has labelled the star ?an untalented, self-focused wannabe?.

The coach ? a top Los Angeles-based teacher who asked to remain anonymous ? is one of four recently used by Britney, but was sacked after only two unsatisfactory sessions at the pop star?s Malibu home.

The drama teacher has been left with a low opinion of not only Spears? acting abilities ? which were slammed in 2002?s teen-flick flop Crossroads ? but also of Britney herself.

The coach tells the Sunday Mirror, ?Britney's no better or worse than any newcomer to acting. The big difference is, she's into shortcuts. She kept telling me to skip elements of the course she believed weren't necessary.

"It was clear she really hadn't understood the concept of any of them. She came across as a spoilt child in the body of a young woman, who's not used to being told no."

"I can imagine her ruining a televised drama by suddenly staring straight into camera and either winking, shaking her boobs or blowing a bubble of gum. But not all at the same time - that would be asking far too much of her."
