192: Britney's gone mad for mags.

Byline: JOHN DINGWALL

BRITNEY SPEARS has gone media mad this month and every picture is a sizzler.

The star has appeared in no fewer than three magazines US magazine, GQ and Esquire.

As Britney bares her behind on the cover of American magazine Esquire, she's also hit the shelves in another series of hot snaps.

Wearing only a skintight white sweater, she poses in heels in a tribute to a picture of sexy film star Angie Dickinson wearing the same skimpy outfit that ran in the magazine in 1966.

The sexy shot is part of Esquire's ``70 Years Of Women We Love'' special. Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake's new love, is also featured.

The singer has also had another set of sexy photos taken for GQ magazine.

And the good news for her this week is that she doesn't have to appear at a hearing next week to seek a permanent order to keep an alleged stalker away.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan Haber also ruled that Spears can skip a question-and-answer with the lawyer for Japanese ``fan'' Masahiko Shizawa.

Unfortunately the sexy pop star has been caught up in accusations that she has been involved with one of her married dancers.

Hunky backing dancer Columbus Short, according to US magazine, has split from his wife weeks after rumours linking him with the star.

Short has left his pregnant wife Brandi, who is due to give birth next month.

But a source added: ``Brandi doesn't know what she's going to do. If he keeps it up, she's going to get a divorce.''
