Page Six says that the "Dateline" crew was blind sighted by Britney’s appearance and demeanor when they met with her last week. A source revealed, " When [the NBC crew] got there, they thought they had the wrong day…During the interview, no one was there to rein things in…Neither of [Spears’s] publicists, Leslie Sloane Zelnick or Nanci Ryder, showed up.�?

Spies at Spears’s mansion, where the interview took place, claimed that Britney “insisted on doing her own hair and makeup.�? This tidbit of information explains Britney’s chosen look for the segment: messy hair, poorly attached false eyelashes, a denim mini-skirt and a see-through top. In previous interviews, Spears has managed to clean up quite well and has dressed more appropriately for prime time television.
