Or maybe it's just Bizarre? Ok, this is the same woman who's apparently running from paparrazi everywhere, is spread all over the tabloids and complains about being misrepresented everywhere. Who put her first child's birth online. And now she's naked and pregnant and...

*sigh*

If I had any respect for her at all, I might give a nod to Spears (and her -- I dunno, homage to Demi Moore, or is she just copping the act?) but in my mind she's just wealthy tabloid fodder. No respect for her at all. So what's the motivation behind this move? To stir up more publicity? The article makes a point of mentioning "unauthorized photographs" released to websites. How? By whom? It just reads as soooo fake.

Well, she is good for jokes.

Hey, when one's ratings are sagging and one is last year's (or last-last-last year's) news...when one's fans have all grown up and moved on...one has to take desperate measures to regain the public's attention and get those record contracts.

Boy, she sure does look terrific, though. She actually looks classy and smart instead of ditzy. I'm impressed. (OK, I'm probably bamboozled, but I'll go with it for the time being, because why not? )

How much air brushing do you think they had to do?

 

[English Lady]

She is a celeb -this is the kind of thing they do, I guess it's in her job description to actually be visible, to make a splash and keep herself in the news.

I think more than her ratings are sagging

I’m certain you’re alluding to her spirits; sagging that is, largely because she had the poor judgment to marry an asshole—but hey, who hasn’t done that—because as a whole, “sagging” doesn’t quite fit. She’s a beautiful kid; clueless, needy, and probably lost in her own fiction, but alluding to “sagging” because she’s all of 20-something and happens to be pregnant denotes, perhaps, a certain shallowness on your part and not hers.

I haveta say, that's probably the sexiest pic of her I've seen. Very nice. And I'm not a Britney fan at all

 

[Antfarmer77]

It's just a matter of time til she'll do something completely self-debasing to boost her career like a nude scene in a movie drools and I'll be there wank...err...waiting! All that time spent watching her videos with the sound muted will not have been in vain.

That was my first thought.

And that was my second.

I've see more appealing pix here in AVs ... and NOT air-brushed.

yours is a case in point

Okay, you made me grin.

 

[Guest]

Good point, Imp, and Joe!

Haha, maybe we should do our own magazine publication, with our own nudie pics on the front - one each month, starting with yours, Imp.

I even have a title:

HARPIES AND QUEENS

Well, we did have the collage calendar idea tossed around on the ABS' apparel thread.

You hit the proverbial 'nail on the head' with that

I doubt she even had to show up for a photo shoot. Industrial Light and Magic probably did it all.

and Danielle, air brushing is so 20th century. It's all about Photoshop these days. Even Gabrielle on "Desperate Housewives" bragged in one episode "I got Photoshop for Christmas" making it easier for her to forge a paternity report to fool her husband.
