Britney's at it again! Today we hear that she contacted OK! Magazine to arrange an interview and photo shoot with them so she could tell all about her problems. Sensationally the story broke today that in the interview she deliberately ruined or stole thousands of dollars worth of dresses that had been on loan for the shoot. The pictures were so bad that the magazine decided not to run them and the editor's take on it is that the interview was a 'cry for help' and that she was 'shocked and saddened' as they had tried and failed to present Britney in 'the most flattering way'.
I am not sure who looks the worst in this whole sorry spectacle. Sure Britney has been on skid row for quite a while now and to be honest, as sad as it is, it is getting a little boring now. All we seem to see is stories of young women, who have to much money and with a fondness for excess, going off the rails: Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and now Britney again.
For me it's OK Magazine who has come out the worst from this. If they were that shocked and saddened wouldn't it have made sense for them to junk the whole story - after all they have made many hundreds of thousands out of Britney already. No, not OK!. They saw a brilliant opportunity to get global publicity for their magazine which will undoubtedly boost sales. The magazine clearly demonstrates how cynical the press can be in riding off the back of a young woman in pain.
