Spearsskipson lunch bill You don't believe most people when they say they dined and dashed only because they for- got to pay the bill. When Britney Spears says she forgot, you tend to believe her. Actually, it was Spears' security guard — she says — who forgot to pay the lunch bill the other day at the Cheesecake Factory in Thousand Oaks, ac- cording to TMZ.
