Britney Spears got trapped in her bathroom


Britney Spears posted a real doozy of a saga to her Instagram on Tuesday after getting locked in her bathroom.
"At 2 a.m. I decided to take a bath," she began, explaining that she'd gotten "a new scented lotion from Victoria's Secret and I wanted to wear it because it helps me sleep better!!!!" Like one needs a justification for taking a bath at 2 a.m.
