The Britney Spears' bra sale was a bust.

Writing on her Website that she was "concerned" that audiences might confuse the "jewel encrusted" brassiere with the broken cup link for "something that it's not," Spears has removed the undergarment from an eBay-hosted charity auction.

This is the second time the bra has been pulled from the auction site, though the first time Spears has done the pulling.

The fancy frill was the star attraction among a lot of cast-off T-shirts, hats, Funky Munky shorts, jewelry, wristbands, barstools and compact umbrellas once owned, used and, in some cases, modeled by the pop star. All proceeds from the sale were to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated Spears' home state of Louisiana.

In explaining on her Website why the sale was scrapped four days before its scheduled Oct. 12 close, Spears said that the auction had "exceeded our original expectations," and that she didn't want anybody to feel "misled" by her underwear.

It seems Spears was worried that enthusiastic bidders believed she'd worn the bra--an "intricately designed" twin-assets keeper decorated with "white stones and silver-tone beads"--on stage for her 2001 HBO special, Britney Spears: Live from Las Vegas. She did not. As the eBay listing noted, she wore the brassiere in promos for the special, but not the special itself.

2. Quite frankly

I find it hard to believe that owning a piece of lingerie worn by Britney is all that uncommon.

3. Again...the thought of someone spending money

for Slutney Spears' soiled undies just makes my stomach turn.
