By slutty, the headline refers to photographs taken of Spears getting out of a car - photos of her private region.

The photographs reveal a drunk Spears with fellow bad girl Paris Hilton. They leave nothing to the imagination; you can even see the scar from her cesarean section from the birth of both of her children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
