Director David O'Russell says Britney Spears auditioned three times for a role in I Heart Huckabees, which went to Naomi Watts, and was angry at missing out.

So much Britney news at the moment (anyone would think she had a greatest hits album in promo), she's in danger of getting more CMU Daily inches than Pete Doherty and McFly, which is quite an achievement.

Anways - latest bit of gossip is that Ms Spears was furious that she missed out on a role in new comedy film 'I Heart Huckabees'. The film's director, David O'Russell, has confirmed the singer auditioned for the part of Jude Law's on-screen girlfriend three times before he gave the part to actress Naomi Watts.

He told the Sun: "Britney wanted Naomi's part and read for me three times. She didn't get it and was very angry."
