OK! has decided to publish notorious Britney Spears interview

[Folieadeux]

I don't understand why they won't print the pictures? What could the legal reasons be. I thought the pictures would be the best bit, apparently her eyes were rolling back in her head and she was all sorts of paranoid.

No doubt the pictures will be leaked eventually.

Maybe because the only pictures they have of her were her squatting over the toilet in a dress two sizes too small while she's fondling herself and wiping up doggie poo with a Chanel dress.

The people at Chanel must be overjoyed, with all this free publicity

[RevellingInSane]

I am ashamed to admit this, but I am going to read it.

[Beeyotch]

No need to feel shame here! You're in the company of many other Gossip Rockers who await this article with unabashed anticipation...why, I'm practically salivating and rubbing my hands together at the thought of another meltdown expose. If only it had pictures, it would be even better than the Matt Lauer debacle...

[litupgirl]

I hope it's not some "I attacked you with my umbrella b/c I was preparing for a movie role" bullshit. I want the truth! I can handle it.

UPDATE!

Brit's Cover Sit-Down Not OK!
Gina Serpe
Wed Jul 25, 4:40 AM ET

Los Angeles (E! Online) - 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 much-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 scheduled 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, per the magazine. Once again, the OK!'s assembled team of professionals was driven out with Spears promoting Funk to stylist.

The actual Q&A with Spears reportedly stopped just 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 donning 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 over 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.

According to the OK!, Spears' manners weren't much better: During the two-hour-plus session, Spears "had used the restroom repeatedly without bothering to close the door."

And on at least one occasion, she brought some company right in with her.

After the lunch debacle and just prior to beginning the photo shoot portion of the afternoon, Spears disappeared into the restroom with Funk and emerged "disoriented," acting "even more erratic" than she had earlier in the day, the magazine says.

In attempting to regain control of the cover shoot, OK!'s photographer fired off four test shots while Spears sang and danced to Janet Jackson's "Alright," a track she provided herself. However, those four shots, which will not be included in the magazine, were the only ones the team could manage to snap.

"Completely out of the blue, Britney walked over to the stereo, removed her CD and stormed out, with her puzzled bodyguard and gaggle of girls in tow," the magazine claims. "Our photographer ran outside and tried to coax her back into the house, but to no avail."

The cover session's time of death was just after 3 p.m.

Spears wasn't the only premature departure. A handful—or handbagful—of pricey garments, which Spears originally dismissed as unfit for her bod, were found to have gone missing from the home.

Among the designer items that disappeared along with the singer's crew, per OK!: a pair of $950 Lanvin heels, $300 Mia Vita dress, $974 Vera Wang dress, $281 Pucci headscarf and a $6,387 Kaviar and Kind diamond ring. The total cost of items either damaged or missing from the shoot racked up to a hefty $21,267.

The magazine claims that Funk personally walked off with a tank top and shorts and attempted to make off with a designer dress, only stopping when the wardrobe coordinator spotted her in the extracting act.

OK! says it hoped the tell-all would serve as an intervention of sorts.

"We'd love to have our old Britney back. But what we experienced was a young girl who is desperately in need of help. And sadly, she has surrounded herself with too many people who are pretending that nothing is wrong.

"That is why, after much debate, we are telling this story. Britney, when you're really ready to talk, we're listening."

The issue of OK! hits newsstands on Friday.

I'd really like to see how bad the four pictures they managed to snap are.

Man, what a freak show she's turned into - and she's apparently a thief! Ruining over $21k in clothing in just a few hours. No wonder she looks shitastic all the time if she's letting her cracked out friends do her hair and make-up.

[potato_chips]

Britney is the female version of Carrot Top.

[aabbcc]

Ignorant, disgusting, tacky douchebag. But we already knew that, didn't we?

[Femmefatale]

what the actual article says remains to be seen, but if its similiar to the synoposes that have been circulating around the net this week, im totally disapointed. Dont get me wrong, I think shes insane and it probably has to do with lots of self-medicating. But these stories all sound like uber diva behavior as opposed to crazy behavior. Im sure there is CRAZY behavior, but wiping hands on a dress, letting ur dog piss on a dress, being snotty to staff, and bouncing out of an interview without fulfilling your responsibilities is all DIVA. Now, perhaps this episode was fueled by depression, or drugs, or whatever, but Im just not impressed with this account and I hope the OK mag discloses more than what already has been.

And also, I am sure the reason the pics arent being published is bc she has an approval agreement in her contract where she must approve all pictures as most celebs do. I sure would.

[Lalique]

Well damnit all. I was hoping for pictures of Twitney in a grease-stained, too tight dress with her eyes rolled back in her head, fondling herself. Damn.
