Britney Spears' friends beg her fans to not buy her latest album

Friends of troubled pop star Britney Spears have begged her fans not to buy her latest album 'Blackout' until she gets her life back on track.

According to reports, pals of Britney - who remain unnamed have set up their own group titled Be Proactive to Help, to urge the public to boycott troubled Britney's new album.

Writing on their MySpace page, Brit's pals begged: "Our message is simple, don't buy her stuff until she's better."

The group - who allegedly include a former bodyguard and several old friends - want fans to contact Britney's record label Jive, her management team and MTV to air their concerns.

They said: "Let them know you'll buy her album, but not until she is clean and sober and realises the amazing life she has created for herself.

"Let them know you'll be around to buy her music and her merchandise when she sets a better example of how to be a performer."

Britney has seen her life spiral out of control since splitting from ex-husband Kevin Federline last November, and recently lost visitation rights to her two sons, 2-year-old Sean Preston & 1-year-old Jayden James after a judge ruled she was a "habitual, frequent and continuous" drug user.
