Britney Spears is all that ... and a bucket of chicken.

Wearing her brunette weave at half-mast, a flowing top made out of a doily from the Kentwood general store and a pair of commemorative daisy dukes from the 2007 Britney Spears Malibu Gas Station Tour, the 31-year-old mother of two looked extra crispy as she picked up some vittles from Kentucky Fried Chicken in Thousand Oaks on Tuesday.

Interestingly, Brit Brit grabbed the KFC to go after a photo shoot for the fitness magazine Shape.

Believe it or not, there is something smoother and even more hairless than Taylor Lautner's jacked buff body ... his new wax sculpture.

The crazy kids at Madame Tussauds in Berlin have unveiled the latest humanoid replica of the 21-year-old "Twilight" hunk and it is abs-olutely identical to the actual manscaped golden tan boy wonder ... even down to the rippling six pack.

While very pretty, Taylor hasn't looked this lifeless since "Breaking Dawn 2."

Jumping on the Michelle Obama hair trend, Kim Kardashian temporarily diverted attention from her growing baby bump -- and signature badonkadonk -- and let her newly chopped sexy bangs take center stage as she crossed a street in Beverly Hills this weekend.

Indestructible force of nature Chuck Norris is suddenly vulnerable -- to aging! Now that his beard has disappeared ... it looks like the only thing that can defeat Chuck Norris is a razor.

While rumors persist that her engagement to Liam Hemsworth is off, Miley Cyrus tried to find some solace in the comfort of her sexy bikini in Palm Springs this weekend.

The 20-year-old former Disney diva soaked her newly tatted bones at a pool in the desert. Meanwhile, Liam is still off in the Philippines for work.

After being spotted without her engagement ring recently, the breakup reports intensified ... but this weekend Miley tweeted that it's just because the wedding bling is being fixed at the jeweler.

Time will tell if that's all that needs to be repaired.

Even when Matthew McConaughey looked deathly skinny he was secretly plotting to immediately pack on the weight and regain his famous physique ... and TMZ has learned how he did it in under 4 months.

By now you've seen the pics -- McConaughey looking ripped again ... after dropping nearly 30 pounds last November to play an AIDS patient.

According to our sources, even though McConaughey looked like an extra on a Sally Struthers infomercial ... he was still pumping iron to keep his muscles intact.

So when it was time to get jacked for his next role ... we're told MM simply added weight by stuffing his face with lots of fish, asparagus, eggs, nuts and sweet potatoes.

Our source described the process as "very well planned out."

All right, all right, all right.

The indestructible Chuck Norris has finally met his match ... Father Time.

73-year-old Norris -- sporting a cleanly shaven face -- was spotted out in Hawaii Thursday with his sleeveless t-shirt, sunglasses, and grandpa belly ... actually looking his age for once in his life.

It might not be a roundhouse ... but he's still kickin'.

Here's the 33-year-old ginger beauty back in 1994 (left) -- and the 52-year-old "Game Change" star last month (right).

The kid is all right.

Britney Spears spent her Friday afternoon meandering around a big green field, chasing a white ball, while carrying a big stick.

A few of Britney's bodyguards -- along with her new beau David -- were also in tow.

Ryan Reynolds' co-star in "The Croods", Emma Stone, and Ryan Reynolds' wife in real life, Blake Lively, vied for Ryan Reynolds' photographers' attention at the movie's premiere in NYC.

Question is ...

"The Hangover Part II" is no longer the worst thing he's been seen in.

Actually ...

Oprah herself says don't hate on Terrence Howard for loving on her "tig ol' bitties" -- because she fully admits her rack was large and in charge during their sex scene.

Oprah taped an interview with Steve Harvey ... and talked about the scene Terrence made famous last week by blabbing about her round mounds.

Oprah told Steve ... "It was supposed to be like a little scene, and because Terrence Howard misbehaved it turned into a bigger scene, and then a bigger scene."

Can ya blame him?

As for people being offended about Howard's "tig ol' bitties" comment -- Oprah had an awesome response for that.

After infamously partying her career away, former actress Tara Reid made a triumphant return to the Hollywood nightlife scene ... and staggered barefoot out of a club and into the street last night.

Unable to stand on her own power, the shoeless 37-year-old patron saint of party girls everywhere was escorted out of the Emerson Theater with the help of a handsome seeing-eye friend.

Luckily for everyone, the "Taradise" star had enough sense left in her bloodstream to make it safely into a taxicab.

Bye, bye Miss American Pie.

Matthew McConaughey is back in the buff ... only 3 months after looking more emaciated than the star of a Spielberg movie.

These days he's saved by the dumbbell.
