Um, Is 'Womanizer' The Best Britney Video Ever?

Joseph Kahn's 'director's cut' version of Britney Spears' "Womanizer" just posted over at MTV's Buzzworthy Blog, and it may just be her best clip ever. Which is saying a lot, since Britney has made her career by constantly shocking us and turning us on with her music videos. As much as her idol Madonna, Britney has used the camera again and again to capture the public's attention.

In this new clip we get Britney in wigs, (like her brilliant "Toxic" clip) naked Britney, (really, totes nude!) Britney as office worker, waitress and chauffeur (I have a feeling Patrick from Coupling would enjoy this music video muchly) and a half naked dude (always welcome, thanks Brit!) and all the Britneys attacking the title cad at the end.

It's a frenetic clip, which matches the song's sound, with some of the sexiest dancing Britney has done since "I'm A Slave 4 U" and I for one am beyond ecstatic to have the crazy-good Britney back. Plus the in-jokes are fabulous; like when the womanizer checks his phone and he has a "product placement meeting" in his calendar and the office drone in the copy room appears to be the same dude Britney joined the mile-high club with in "Toxic."
