BRITNEY SPEARS-A-PHOBIA?

BRITNEY SPEARS-A-PHOBIA?

MCCOMB, Miss. (Wireless Flash) -- Britney Spears is on top of the world with her career -- but that doesn't mean she likes being high in the sky. According to Britney's bud Felicia Culotta, the teen pop star is a big chicken when it comes to flying. She claims that before Britney even sets foot on an airplane, she listens to Whitney Houston tunes, which is the only thing that can calm her down. But that's not Britney's only bizarre phobia. Culotta also claims the teen dream is terrified of elevators and is frightened by dogs. Curiously enough, despite her canine fear, Britney always travels with two Teacup Yorkshire terriers named Mitzi and Bitzi -- which may be the real reason she sings "(You Drive Me) Crazy." Culotta is the author of the new book "Every Step of the Way" (Penguin-Putnam).
