Britney Spears was so moved by the stories told on Idol Gives Back on Wednesday, April 9, that she donated $25,000.

“She did it all on her own. She watched the show and cried for like two hours over the children in Africa with malaria,” a Spears family insider tells Life & Style. “She didn’t know much about the disease, so she Googled it. She was horrified to realize kids were dying from mosquito bites. So she went online and donated after getting [her dad] Jamie’s permission. She used her Amex.”

A rep for FOX declined to comment. Goooooooooo, Brit Brit!

Britney Spears shops at Paige Premium Denim on Robertson Blvd in West Hollywood, Calif. on Wednesday.

When Britney Spears appeared on How I Met Your Mother last week, she looked slimmed down and in the best shape in several months.

“It looked like Britney had lost 15 pounds in four weeks,” a source close to the singer tells OK!. So how did she do it? “Britney’s a pro at losing weight fast,” a Spears pal tells OK!. “She can drop seven to 10 pounds in two weeks.” Although now, in Britney’s case, it’s about adopting a longterm plan she can stick to. Sources say Brit has given up her old unhealthy weight loss habits, like popping laxatives and diet pills.”

“To complement her healthier eating habits, Britney works out regularly as well, although you probably won’t see her jogging around her neighborhood. The recovering pop star enjoys daily dance workouts at L.A.’s Millennium Dance Complex, where sources tell OK! she does squats along with chair and pole dancing.”

Britney Spears is escorted by police to get through the horde of photographers waiting for her while leaving Tracey Ross boutique at Sunset Plaza in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Last night’s episode of Comedy Central’s South Park parodied Britney Spears and the world’s obsession with her.

The pop princess isn’t so much skewered herself, but the the paparazzi who follow her and her poor management.

Through a chain of events, Britney, sadly, blows her own head off with a shotgun. And who to take her place in the pop world? Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus. (You have to fast forward to the 21-minute mark to see the Miley shout-out.)

You can watch part of the South Park episode here but YOU’VE BEEN WARNED! It’s pretty graphic.
