Bikini babe Britney Spears sports golden tan in white hot Twitter picture

BRITNEY Spears looks white hot as she strikes a pose in a teeny white bikini.

Looking bronzed and beautiful Britney hides her eyes behind dark sunglasses and beams as she runs her fingers through her wavy sunkissed hair.

The US X Factor judge gave fans a cheeky treat when she uploaded this picture of herself to her Twitter page.

She added the caption: "Y'all ready for summer to end? I'm definitely not!"

Britney has recently been looking for an old friend of hers - the snake she performed with at the MTV Video Music Award's in 2001.

Britney, 30, sang Slave 4 U with the massive yellow and white reptile around her neck for the memorable set at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Slippery friend ... Britney has been searching for the snake she performed with at the 2001 VMA's

She posted a picture of her and her slippery pal on Twitter, saying: "Sometimes I wonder what this snake is up to these days ... Anybody know where it's at? haha".

And the plea worked - she soon had the information she was looking for on her missing VMA co-star.

She added: "Snake update: I've heard she's alive and well, and that her name is Banana! This makes me smile :)".
