Do you know what animal goes with this year? Doug Lang/KANSAN Britney Spears's body has bounced back after the Sept. 14 birth of son Sean Preston – and she can't wait to show it off. The singer – dressed in dark blue jeans, a teal sweater and a camisole – recently visited Venus by Maria Tash, an upscale piercing and jewelry studio in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. Spears, who's been pierced by Tash before, got her belly button piercing reinserted with an elaborate topaz and white gold piece, which cost more than $200. "I think it's part of her whole reclaiming her body thing," Tash tell us. "It's good she's readorning her body. She's known for being strong and cut." Tash says Spears is in "really good shape." THE MASKED AVENGERS People on Campus 'My Fair Brady' star proposed last June Adriane Curry and Christopher Knight revealed their engagement on the season finale of "My Fair Brady," but Knight actually proposed in June, he said recently. "It was a quiet engagement" he said. Since then, "I've noticed that she just listens to me slightly less. By the time I'm married, there will be nothing left to listen to." The couple haven't set a wedding date, but Curry, who starred on "America's Top Model," told us the ceremony will be "gothic" and in an "old-school cathedral." My family is very Catholic," she said. "I don't believe we can be married Catholic—he's twice-divorced." Guests will likely include their "Surreal Life" castmates and Knight's fellow Brady Bunch-ers. "The bird flu is bad news for everyone."
