(LONDON) September 3, 2003 - Britney Spears takes slimming pills to maintain her sexy shape, according to a British tabloid newspaper. The pop princess was outed after dropping a bottle "fat burning" tablets at London's Heathrow airport yesterday—before boarding a flight to Los Angeles. Photographs in the London-based Daily Express show Britney grabbing for a blue bottle, which the tabloid claims to have identified as Zantrex-3—a brand new diet supplement.

Zantrex-3, recently launched over the counter, mainly markets itself on having no ephedra. Instead, it contains a 'xanthine-based stimulant', as well as caffeine, green tea, and ginseng. A witness at Heathrow backs up the newspaper's claim. "It was definitely a bottle of Zantrex-3. Britney seemed very keen to grab the pills before anybody saw what they were. But it was too late."

The 22-year-old pop icon has struggled with her weight in the past. After splitting from Justin Timberlake last year, she reportedly binged and piled on weight. Britney's spokesman said yesterday, "We cannot comment on whether she takes dietary supplements, but she certainly cares about her weight ..."
