BRITNEY SPEARS AND HER TATTOO'S - THREE TIME LOSER!
The 22-year-old has had a series of Hebrew symbols put on the nape of her neck in an act of devotion to Kabbalah, the mystical form of Judaism she was introduced to by Madonna.
But unfortunately for her the symbols are meaningless.
A source said: "She had hoped it would say new year or new era. It seems she's got the words the wrong way round. It is meaningless which will come as a bit of a blow to Britney.
"She's taken to Kabbalah pretty seriously and this was a big deal for her. She's going to be gutted when she finds out."
Madonna sported Jewish symbols on her arm in the video for the James Bond theme song Die Another Day. She has been studying Kabbalah since 1997.
Britney has been left red-faced once before when she had a Japanese word scratched on to her hip bone.
It was supposed to mean "mysterious" but in fact turned out to mean "strange". Britney was distraught when she found out the truth from best pal, actress Taryn Manning, last year.
She's also got a butterfly script on her toe which she believes says "freedom" and another on her foot - a flower circling her second toe - that she now thinks is ugly.
She has said: "I'd like to get rid of it because it doesn't look the way I'd hoped it would. It's a blob."
