Here's something i found from Eonline http://www.eonline.com/news/article/...f-410fefbcd381

The session was meant to be "exalting." Needless to say, it missed the mark. Badly.

The ordinarily celeb-placating haven of OK! magazine is giving Britney Spears what editors deem to be a badly needed reality check this week, publishing a story detailing the disastrous behind-the-scenes antics of their failed, and now mythic, cover story with the onetime pop princess.
"We were especially excited when Britney Spears’ handlers contacted us because they wanted OK! to be the magazine in which Britney could finally set the record straight about all the rumors surrounding her much-talked-about private life," the magazine said Wednesday.
While it was Spears' people who first approached the glossy to "finally set the record straight," Spears' behavior leading up to, during and following the ill-fated photo shoot and interview have only seemed to fuel reports that her personal problems show no signs of waning.
The interview was intended to kick off at a home in the Hollywood Hills at noon on July 19. Per OK!'s timeline of events, an hour and a half before the chat session was to begin, the magazine received a "frantic" phone call from Spears' new assistant, Shannon Funk, who, despite informing the photo editor two days prior that Spears would be bringing her own clothes for the cover shoot, wanted to ensure that a designer wardrobe would be provided.
The 25-year-old star eventually rolled in to the location 45 minutes late, bringing with her a posse of five—Funk, a bodyguard and three unidentified friends. Upon entering the home, Spears "promptly banished" all but OK!'s hair and makeup crew to another floor of the spacious house, before eventually ordering them, too, to leave her quarters, the magazine reports.
Spears then attempted to have her own attendants, using the products and tools of the magazine's pros, complete her look, before OK! editor in chief Sarah Ivens put the kibosh on the freelance plan.
But hair and makeup wasn't the only thing not up to snuff for Spears.
The singer took issue with the wardrobe selection. She deemed the clothes unsexy, with their prime faults being that they lacked in tightness and shortness. Once again, the OK!'s assembled team was driven out, with Spears promoting Funk to stylist.
The actual Q&A with Spears reportedly stopped as soon as it began, when after only a few minutes, the entertainer decided to break for lunch. Against the urging of the stylists, who were tasked with ensuring the borrowed duds remained pristine enough to return to the designers after the session, Spears chowed on chicken and vegetables while still wearing a borrowed pink silk Alisha Levine dress costing $274.
After finishing her meal, the magazine claimed Spears "stood up and rubbed grease from her fingers into the front and back of the dress," effectively ruining the garment. A pair of $595 Marni shoes and a $5,602 Versace gown also met their demise in the course of the day.
Adding further insult to sartorial injury, Spears' new Yorkie, London, subsequently relieved himself on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown, per OK!'s account. After initially ignoring the incident, Funk eventually acquiesced to pick up the mess with a tissue but only after a staffer demanded it be taken care of, the magazine says.
