In TV commercials for her sponsor, Canon, Maria Sharapova encourages viewers to “make every shot a power shot.”

A Maria Sharapova crotch shot probably isn’t what she meant.

The head of a Japanese ad agency secretly took crotch shots of the tennis icon as she posed for a Canon ad in 2005, according to a new federal lawsuit.

The gist? Toyo Shigeta, CEO of Dentsu Holdings, snapped the Maria Sharapova upskirt pictures to satisfy an obsession with women’s private parts, according to the suit filed by Dentsu’s former creative director, Steve Biegel.

Well, you know, to paraphrase one of the classic Seinfeld quotes, a woman’s body is like a work of art, while a man’s is like a Jeep - serving utility purposes only.?

This Maria Sharapova crotch shot is not the one in question.

“Taking closeup crotch shots of women is a personal obsession of defendant Shigeta,” Steve Biegel says of the Maria Sharapova photos in his lawsuit.

Biegel, 44, said the company actually fired him after he complained about Shigeta’s propensity for pornographic picture taking.

Biegel also says he was forced to go to a bathhouse and a Prague brothel, where Shigeta urged the married Biegel to have sex with a prostitute.

And the alleged Maria Sharapova crotch shot? It’s attached as physical evidence to Biegel’s complaint, and labeled as Exhibit B.

Britney Spears’ attorneys sure are busy these days.

The latest in a long line of legal woes for the “singer” came Thursday as a lawsuit was filed against her by former manager Johnny Wright.

Britney Spears and Johnny Wright parted ways in 2003. The manager claims she contractually owes him commissions for deals negotiated on her behalf through February 2008. According to Wright, Brit stopped paying in December 2006.

Britney Spears: Sued yet again. Nothing new here.

“I have a great deal of affection and empathy for her. As you know, I was a part of her career from the early days,” Wright said. “But a contractual disagreement can unfortunately only be resolved in the courts, despite my wishes!”

Britney Spears later sacked Wright’s replacement, Larry Rudolph.

Meanwhile, financial details in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were unsealed Thursday… and are eye-opening.

According to papers submitted to the courts by Britney Spears:

• She earns $737,000 a month.
• She spends an average of $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations; $16,000 on clothes; $4,758 on dining; and $2,500 on phone bills a month. She spends $49,267 on mortgage payments.
• She gives $500 a month to her charity, the Britney Spears Foundation.

Her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, meanwhile:

• Earned more than half a million in 2006 (mostly from endorsement deals), but only grossed $7,436 after business expenses.
• Receives $15,000 a month in child support from Spears. He could get more if he receives permanent custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
• rossed a staggering $3,330 in royalties from his 2006 debut track “Popozao.” Talk about raking in the big bucks.

We know she’s out to save the world (and save the dolphin), but how does Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere match up in a fashion face-off against Jane Seymour?

Hayden dazzled in this hot turquoise Dina Bar-El in September at a Declare Yourself event, while the Dancing with the Stars contender and former Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman showed off her fit figure in a satin sheath at a movie premiere recently.

Hayden Panettiere vs. Jane Seymour: It’s a difficult battle. Which star would you rather … see in this dress at a formal affair? You tell us, celebrity fashion fans.

Katie Holmes fueled another round of pregnancy rumors at the L.A. premiere of husband Tom Cruise?s new drama, Lions for Lambs, Thursday.

A glowing Holmes, 28, appeared to be sporting a mini bump as she worked the red carpet in a one-shouldered, silk charmeuse Monique Lhuillier gown…

TomKat: New spawn on the way?

Though she didn?t address questions about a possible pregnancy, the actress and her husband ? who celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary November 18, were happy to give the crowd a display of their mutual affection.

?Tom kissed Katie a few times lightly near her ear and whispered to her,? a witness told Us Weekly late this week. ?She would turn to him and smile.?

Cruise recently said that he and Holmes could handle having another little one around. He told Entertainment Tonight November 1 that he and Holmes have already made it work while raising their 18-month-old, Suri Cruise.
