Thank you, Photoshop. Britney Spears looks MORE than presentable here. It's jarring to see her put together, though, huh? We've all gotten so used to her looking rough. Things are not peachy in Red Bull Land, however. Unfortunately, "Billboard" magazine has changed their charting policy. Britney was supposed to be at #1 this week with her "Blackout" album. But "Billboard" is now allowing albums that only appear at certain retailers exclusively to be counted. Which means that Britney got bumped by the Eagles for the top spot. The Eagles? Damn, the oldies got you, Brit Brit!
Britney Spears' new Jive album, "Blackout," which would have been No. 1 had the Eagles' data not been reported, will open at No. 2 with first-week sales of 290,000 copies."We know that some retailers will be uncomfortable with this policy, but it was inevitable that Billboard's charts would ultimately widen the parameters to reflect changes that are unfolding in music distribution," says Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's director of charts. "We would have preferred to make this decision earlier, but only became aware within the last 24 hours that Wal-Mart would be willing to share the data for this title with Nielsen SoundScan."
The Eagles' album "Eden" is only being sold at Wal*Mart. Which, as we know it. is like the sellout ninth ring of hell for recording artists. BUT they sell a lot of discs. If your cover art is within Christian standards and you don't have nasty lyrics. Censorship is Unamerican. But the recording industry is so toe-up nowadays that artists have to have as much mouthsex with as many different outlets as they can to make a buck. Sad. Sorry, Brit. I swear I will buy the album. Seriously. I heard part of "Heaven On Earth" and found it pretty rad. Just don't make a video. Please?
noname says:
I don't who that is, but it is definitely not britney - look at her face!
Zekers says:
...the Eagles sold out, how sad. Is their new album that bad???
I hate Wal-Mart.
nastybugger says:
noname, I'm TOTALLY with you. that looks like a girls that resembles Brit...but it sure as hell doesn't look like Brit herself.
brushing out a blemish or two is not an issue for me, but making the subject look like a different person altogether is just ridiculous.
whatever...I'm sure her fans will be like "see! she can still look good when she wants to!"...not even considering that she looks so good because she DOESN'T look like herself!
Ruby Jackson says:
Isn't that the dress she smeared fried chicken grease all over?
joehawkins says:
ruby-- you know... i thought the same thing. i think the yellow dress is the one that wasn't "sexy" enough. there is def a pic of her in front of window with a yellow dress on. it is quite sad that i remember this... guess i need a life. regarding photoshop: if these pics are from the shoot i think they are... then look how long it took for them to be released. it obviously took them some time to get her to look this pretty (and WoW she could be very pretty if she took a bath).

I thought it was that chick from AI Katherine McSomething.
I love the Eagles early stuff. . .at least they make and sing their own music. Brit is just a lil doped up marketing tool for her label
Chaz says:
I love it. All that manipulation that went into "guaranteeing" her album would debut on top, and it still didn't work.

Nice backlighting on the legs! Could you do that for me, so my legs look half an inch wide?

T-Bone says:
Doesn't look like Britney. I mean she could look like this if she'd take care of herself and start living a healthy life. I'd love to see that happen. But I'm not holding my breath.
jumble says:
I think that might be her sidekick cousin Ally.
peachpie says:
i think she looks hispanic. the last pic in the yellow dress totally looks like jlo as 'selena' - the only good movie she ever made. great pics; just don't look a thing like brit.
Kayla says:
It is Britney, she looks great, her record is #1 and you people who bash her and scrutinize can just go ef yourselves because you can't change anything and millions still love and support Britney Spears. Know what else? Kevin is still the low life he was when Brit married him. He used her for money even if it meant having more kids with a woman he didn't want to be with like his first baby Moma. What goes around comes around and God never sleeps KFed you will get yours. You hurt her and used her for money. You are a pig!
