Britney Spears' future may not be pretty if she doesn't clean up her act.

Feb. 22, 2008 — -- Doesn't it seem like just yesterday, Britney Spears had the body of a teenage gymnast, the hair of a modern-day Rapunzel and the sweet face of a Southern gal who had just made it big in Tinseltown?

No? Didn't think so.

Spears' recent spree of bad and bizarre behavior shaving her head bald, forgetting to put on panties, gobbling down fast food, clubbing nearly every night and reportedly popping pills has left her looking tired, bloated and haggard, as if she hung up her pop-princess tiara decades ago.

And if she keeps going down the same road, she'll look nothing like her former self in a few years. The Web site Ageprogression.org used Spears' current diet and reported alcohol and drug use to project what she'll look like in 20 years, at age 46. It's not a pretty picture.

Of course, the receding hairline, double chin and feathery wrinkles are by no means guaranteed. Spears, who had a stint in UCLA's psychiatric ward earlier this month, may have to make it to 46 to inherit all those riches.
