Signs Your Career Is Over
 

Brittany Goes Topless

Breathtaking Britney Spears just about bares it all for the September issue of British Elle, wearing nothing but the shortest shorts imaginable, unless you also count the jewels in her pierced belly button.

Inside the pages, Britney's backside is revealed by photographer Mark Abrahams. Spears sports a little angel tattoo on her lower back and as beautiful as Britney looks in the spread, Elle admitted the photos were retouched. This not uncommon for magazine covers, what is uncommon is that the publication is not covering up that fact.

In the article, Britney showed she's still upset with how Justin Timberlake handled their break-up, from his interviews, to his "Cry Me a River" video, which featured a Britney look-alike. Spears said: "Freakin' horrible. You know what I mean? It was hard for me that he was so exploitative. Every interview that he did, he was talking about us in such an open way and I just felt, 'Is nothing sacred any more?'"

So on Britney's new CD, which is due out in October, don't expect any lyrics counter-attacking Justin. She said: "I'd never do that."

Britney will be at the 2003 Teen Choice Awards on August 2, joining a star studded line-up which includes Ashton Kutcher, Colin Farrell and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Lord, what a whore...Keep your friggin' clothes on! If you suck, just accept it and go back to working at Walmart!

Is she actually full frontal on the cover, as in you can see nipples? I know British magazines are more permissive, but blimey! :eek:

She doesn't care too much about shedding that backwoods image, does she? Go back to the park, Britney.

She is white trash but she is still hot. I have to go back to bed my head is pounding.

I'm actually intrigue, prob. would buy it.

I saw the Elle cover on E! News Live. It's really not that big of a deal. Her arms are covering her breasts (no nipples showing) and she's wearing really short shorts. It's not like Playboy or anything. And it doesn't mean her career is over. Anyways, I'll be stepping down off my Britney Spears soapbox now.

It is a sign
She's doing magazine covers
She's not behind the mic
No doubt she's doing it for her cd that is going to come out
But really she's doing it to publicize her body
Because she's got nothing else going for her right now

She is making her money
 

Everyone wants to know about her business. Everyone wants to see her. Even if it's hate, the amount of attention this chick gets is CRAZY. She is going nowhere anytime soon I'm sure.

Envy is an ugly emotion. I applaud her for the hard work it must take and the marketing savvy that keeps her in the public eye.

Britney's not the first celebrity to do a risque (sp?) photo shoot, and she won't be the last one either. Remember Janet Jackson on the cover of Rolling Stone?? Did it ruin her career? HAYLE NAW!!!!

Britney is all grown up now and is basking in her newly found womanhood. She's not at the end of her career, she is not a whore, she is not poor white trash.

Oh well, she can't sing, so of course she needs to exploit her body :p

She has a very good singing voice. Clearly not your sort of music but that isn't the same thing as her not being able to sing??

Nope. She's very very rich white trash. :p


Re Janet, it was a cover of Rolling Stone, which to me makes a big difference. It's a music-geared magazine. Elle, on the other hand, is just about fashion, and I certainly don't consider Titney a fashion icon (especially if she's nearly nekkid).

The moral of the Britney story is don't paint yourself into a corner with a "wholesome" image and trumpet your virginity, then get found out later. I have no idea about Norah Jones' sex life, nor do I care. She will be making music long after Britney finally dies out completely.

You act as though I'm the first person to ever say she can't sing. ;) But yeah, I agree... nasal isn't my sort of music.

Rich white trash - see you ain't right!! :p

Rolling Stones is a music-geared mag, but she still posed with no top on with a man's hands covering her breasts.

Is Brit a fashion icon? I don't know. For whatever reason, Elle decided they wanted her to pose for their mag.

Wasn't that picture the cover of Janet? If so, it had much more relevance being on what was then the foremost magazine of the music world, than what Britney Spears being on the cover of Elle does. After all, it was her first release in years, and she had completely changed her image.

I think that line needs to be repeated. :D

I suspected long ago that the Christian virgin thing was a ploy on the part of her amazing PR staff to improve her image. They knew that she would inevitably get painted as a white trash harlot, and had to make her appeal to middle America in some way. I'm sure they just didn't expect her to be in a serious relationship before her 15 minutes were up. :p

ETA: I just saw the picture. That's it? Not too scandalous, but you can bet Wal-Mart (no doubt her biggest sales outlet) won't be selling it. :rolleyes:

Well, yeah Wal-Mart won't be selling the mag because it's British Elle. You have to go to Borders or Barnes & Noble for that. In any case, yes, she's trying to get the word out about herself and her album with the sexy pics in Elle and W. But, other celebs do the same thing. It doesn't make her desperate it's just part of the publicity game. No shame in that.

Why, British Elle?
 

There's about $8 I won't be spending, LOL.

Ms. Spears is very popular. But I would think that a fashion magazine with an upscale sheen wouldn't pick a low-common-denominator entertainer. I was also p***ed when American Vogue put her on its cover a couple of years ago.

I think Britney is a beautiful young woman and she looks great on the cover of British Elle.

Please don't throw things at me! :D

Britney is beautiful, but she forgot her shirt! :eek:

I am not a fan, but you guys are too much. Rich white trash, lol! That is too funny, 33girl! :p :D

Clearly you're all being too hard on her. If she's willing to give somebody the shirt off her back, she can't be that bad!

And, she is beautiful.

And, she can't sing.

Certainly can dance, though.

i have to agree with the poor white trash thing
my friend was talking about her cousin from this backwoods arkansas town
apparently this girl is really hot, she's coming to college here
and she's staying with my friend's family
my friend is worried that her cousin is going to become the 'city whore'
she's like 5 11, blonde, and skins and bones
i told my friend that her cousin, if fixed up, could end up being a jackpot for her


we'll see though

most of the time, these girls just have to be fixed up

Britney is a beautiful girl. And she seriously can dance.

I have to give her credit for getting out of Kentwood, LA. That area of LA is very close-knit, every one is pretty much on the same social level.

I don't think they'd appreciate being called "poor white trash"

I have classmates who are from neighboring towns. They are not poor white trash. They are friends of Britney's family. One guy in my class, his parents stayed at Brit's condo in Destin a few weeks ago.

She did what she had to do to get her career going. Period. I don't agree with all of the things she's done, but I applaud her tenacity and drive to succede.

actually, jenna dewan. . .the one that supposedly brittney was jealous of because she was 'friends' with justin . . .she is beautiful. . .

Almost all of you guys are WAY too hard on Britney! I love her music, her dancing, and CANNOT wait for her new CD to come out in October. I'm happy to see her on the cover of British Elle :)

Britney is using her image as a tool just as other entertainers use political ideologies to sell their message. She produces a product geared toward a certain demographic, they will decide whether they want to continue to support her or not. But i'm sure her next release(s) will garner the same level of revenue as they have in the past. Either way, she has more money than any of us.

I was born and raised in Destin. The natives have money, but most of the tourists don't. It's not called the "Redneck Riviera" for nothing.

I'll lay off Britney for right now. I just prefer my artists with more talent. :)
