Oops! She did it again.
The plot of pop tart Britney Spears' new movie has her young fans and their parents aghast - but hormone-charged teen boys can hardly wait for the film's release.
"Crossroads" - due out in February and starring Spears in her acting debut - features sex, rape, underage drinking and teen pregnancy.
It's a far cry from the Miss Priss image Spears has tried to cultivate.
As The Post's Page Six reported yesterday, the flick features the sultry songbird dancing in her underwear, getting drunk and losing her virginity to an ex-con.
"I didn't know she had a movie coming out, but now that I know what it's about, I wouldn't let my daughter see it," said Bertha Quevedo of Astoria, Queens. "It would be a bad influence on her."
Her daughter Maria, 11, agreed with her mom and thinks the singer's new sexpot image is icky. "
I liked her better when she was more innocent and acted like a girl," Maria said.
The Rivera sisters of East Harlem are also doubtful about Spears.
"I like her songs, but I don't like the way she acts," said Natalie Rivera, 13. "She used to be all innocent, but now it's all about money and showing off her body."
Her sister, Bianca, 9, chimed in, "And I don't like the way she dresses or the way she moves her body."
Their mom, Yadira, 39, said Brit's flick would be rated XXX in the Rivera household.
"No way would I let them see that movie," Yadira said. "She has an influence on kids, and letting them see it would be like playing with fire."
But teen boys are all for Spears' sizzling silver-screen debut.
"She appeals to a male audience because she's hot," said Rich Mendelson, 17, of Edison, N.J. "What do you think is going through a teenage boy's mind when she sings ‘I'm a Slave for You'? "
She allows guys to have sick little fantasies - and that's exactly why I'm going."
Spears' representatives did not return calls for comment yesterday.

Why did you spell it "you" right after saying you spell it "u"? And why no capitals? You're not one of those pretentious artsy types, are you?
I can't wait till she makes that dive into quantum physics, should be a watershed event.
Clemenza, gratuitous Shakira Photo Alert!:
His explanation was exactly as above. Hispanic for TaTa's. And makes one wonder what these restauranteurs are selling to the Hispanic American community.
LOL! Everytime I go by a Chi-Chi's I have the same reaction to the name (and I snicker when someone talks about the Grand Tetons, too).
A better question is: What is Chi-chi's selling to the non-Hispanic community (I don't think many Hispanics consider Chi-Chis to be authentic Mexican food)? As my hubby and I call it, "faux Mexican food," or what people who have never had real Mexican food think is Mexican food (like Olive Garden is really Italian and Red Lobster is a real seafood restaurant)--my in-laws like Chi-Chis. OTOH, on Christmas Eve, they complained that the taco-seasoned Kraft grated cheese in the taco salad dip was so hot.
I was so happy when our Mexican neighbors brought over some tamales (fresh out of the steamer) on Christmas Day. That's the real stuff. Needless to say, we snarked them down with glee.
Frankly that area is not my cup of tea. I do agree the girl is pretty. I don't care a hoot about Britney either although there is something about her which strikes me as pretty sexy.
I used to work with a girl who is probably prettier than either and resembles Britney a great deal. If I knew how to post pictures I would post one of her.
Also, when in Germany we were neighbors to an exec in a large German Pharmaceutical firm who had just finished a tour in Mexico. He was totally derisive of TexMex when it was called Mexican food. He'd lived in Mexico City and said TexMex and Mexican were two different worlds.
Of course, he was German, and LOVED being superior.
Which reminds me of the old joke about the German/Chinese restaurant..... .......
2 hours after eating there........
You're hungry for Power!
also called "Jub-lee's" or "Jubba-do's" at our house. The term lends itself nicely to conversation in crowds.
Infrequently, we use the term "fun bags", but only if she's a "hose hound" (like Britney)-
