Britney Spears Can’t Stop Biting Her Nails

Star magazine reports Britney Spears’ habit of biting her nails has gotten out of control. The singer admits, “I just can’t stop biting them. I even went to a hypnotist, but it didn’t help. It’s only gotten worse.” Still, experts say it is a better way for her to relieve stress than the alcohol fueled partying she has been doing of late, following her breakup with *NSYNC’s Justin Timberlake. LA dermatologist Dr. Margaret Olsen said, “It’s a mechanism that people like Britney pick up early on. It’s a learned behavior.”
