Pop singer Britney Spears and her dancer husband Kevin Federline have topped a poll of the World's Worst Dressed Celebrities.
The pair was voted onto the top spot of the list compiled by US Weekly magazine for the 2005 Fashion Winners and Sinners issue.
Joining Spears and Federline at the top of the Worst Dressed Celebrities list were Pamela Anderson, Kelly Osbourne, Mariah Carey and Julia Roberts.
'The Simple Life' star Nicole Richie topped the Best Dressed Celebrities list, with Jessica Simpson, Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba and Halle Berry also making appearances in the Top 10.
Britney Spears credits marrying Kevin Federline with helping her to find her independence and distance herself from her parents' rollercoaster career plans.
The Overprotected hitmaker is thrilled with her newfound confidence and feels at ease with herself for the first time since she became famous.
And she believes being pregnant has helped her realise she can create any future she wants.
She says, "Having a child and getting married, it's going to help me not be influenced so much, or manipulated which can happen in a huge way."
Of her parents and management she says, "And they honestly do, and they mean well.
"But they don't. And it's a sticky thing because you love these people.
"The sad thing is they're usually the ones closest to you, and you have to completely separate yourself."
Pregnant pop singer Britney Spears is planning to televise the birth of her baby in the next series of her reality TV show Britney and Kevin: Chaotic -- and she will donate all profits to victims of Hurricane Katrina in her native state of Louisiana.
TV networks are locked in a bidding war to raise a sum that would tempt the 23-year-old hitmaker to share her intimate moment later this year, with some offers reportedly hitting $9 million.
Despite previously rejecting the idea, the singer is now reconsidering because the lucrative sum could provide long-term aid for the victims of last week's natural disaster, which ravaged the Gulf coast.
"Britney has been horrified by what has happened in New Orleans, a source said to British newspaper the Sunday Star. "She's a good Louisiana girl and she loves her home state."
"She's not particularly keen on filming the birth, but with all this talk of money she had to stop and think about what she could do with it."
"Brit was digging into her pockets as soon as she realized the extent of what had happened and if telly cats want to swell her donation then so be it."
"All she's concerned about is that the program is tastefully done and she gets her privacy."
BRITNEY'S PREGNANCY CRAVINGS
With Jessica Callan, Eva Simpson And Caroline Hedley
BRITNEY SPEARS is reportedly craving fried chicken and Starbucks frappuccinos in the last stages of her pregnancy.
The singer, whose first child with husband Kevin Federline is due later this month, has been tucking into buckets of chicken from popular Los Angeles fast-food restaurant Koo Koo Roo.
And the star of reality show Britney and Kevin: Chaotic - who's elected for Caesarean - is also a regular visitor to her local Starbucks where, say staff, she can't get enough of their calorie-laden frappuccinos with lashings of whipped cream. Roll on delivery day...
Good point, why is it you never crave anything that's good for you? When my mum was pregnant, she craved Heinz Cream of Tomato soup, and someone else I know craved coal. My sister craved Big Macs and she's a vegetarian! Weird.

Good morning, Britrogue!
Yuck. These food choices are horrible (except for the Big Mac). Maybe you mean something besides actual coal - you know, the chemical product used for combustion?
My mum craved pesticide when she was pregnant with me.
Britney Spears has turned down a deal to perform her own regular show in Las Vegas.
Despite reports the 23-year-old pregnant popstar is set to join Sir Elton John, Celine Dion and Barry Manilow as Vegas entertainers, a rep for Britney told the New York Post, "Not true, there is no Vegas show in the works."
Businessman Jack Wishna had hoped Britney would agree to perform regularly at one of the Strip's top casinos and hotels.
