Britney Spears’ current state of denial excels her personal problems — it also weights into her legal ongoing battles.

Lawyers representing the songstress plan to plead not guilty to the misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license at a court hearing scheduled for tomorrow.

After reaching a financial settlement earlier this week, her hit and run charge will most likely be dropped.

Meanwhile, photogs snapped a package of Provigil, a prescription drug used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness (and narcolepsy), in Brit’s open purse as she made her way to her first co-parenting class with Kevin Federline today at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

While the drug is not necessarily addictive, Provigil works as a stimulant to keep you from falling asleep.

In other words, Britney really is the new Anna Nicole Smith!
