Britney Spears is back in the news, now claiming that someone stole and posted the exclusive pix of her new baby on www.tangiblebrit.com -- the same pictures she was planning to sell to the highest bidder.

The erstwhile macho man was arrested in July (by real cops) at a traffic stop -- allegedly holding crack cocaine, a loaded pistol, and drug paraphernalia.
