LOS ANGELES - Kinky photos of a half-naked Britney Spears perched on a priest's lap and leaning seductively against a church confessional sparked outrage among Catholic leaders.
At least one said the saucy snapshots, which grace the singer's thumping new dance album, "Blackout," are a "bottom of the barrel" stunt from a girl who really could use some quality time spent repenting sins in a wooden cubicle.
"This is all the puzzle pieces coming together. This girl is crashing," said Bill Donohue, president of the New York-based Catholic League. "She's not even allowed to bring up her own kids because she's not responsible enough. Now we see she can't even entertain."
A call to Spears' label, Jive Records, was not returned.
Her new album, which hits store shelves today, comes amid the "Gimme More" singer's custody battle with ex-hubby Kevin Federline.
The judge who stripped Spears of all but monitored visitation with her two young sons after dubbing her a "habitual" user of drugs and alcohol is expected to issue new custody orders this week.
Judge Scott Gordon chastised Spears on Friday for courting paparazzi attention with her nonessential daily trips to lens-friendly places like Starbucks.
"It does not seem [Spears] has been taking many steps to not keep herself in the public eye at all times," the judge said.
