The 'Gimme More' singer - who has lost custody of her sons, failed a court ordered drugs test, faces a string of driving convictions and was ridiculed for her comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards - has been stocking up on lucky charms in the hope of reversing her fortune.
A source told America's OK! magazine: "Britney went shopping and picked out a hoodie with a print of a four-leaf clover because she thought it would help bring her luck.
"She said she needed all the luck she could get after the past few months. She joked she'd start carrying around a rabbit's foot if it meant her 'curse' would go away."
