Britney Explains Umbrella Attack
Apparently there's method to her madness — method acting, that is.
Britney Spears has written a message on her official Web site in which she explains and apologizes for an incident four months ago when she was caught on camera hitting a car with an umbrella in a fit of rage.
The Web site x17 shot the video of Spears hitting a car with an umbrella in February after the singer notoriously shaved her head at a Tarzana, Calif., beauty parlor. It was splashed all over the tabloids.
"I apologize to the pap for a stunt that was done four months ago regarding an umbrella," Spears writes on her Web site. "I was preparing my character for a roll in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally."
Spears said in the posting that she ultimately didn't get the part she was prepping for.

"I take all my rolls very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part," she says.Interactive: Britney's Meltdown
