Pregnant Britney Spears Poses Nude For Harper's Magazine Cover (Pic)

<snip>

NEW YORK -- Pregnant pop princess Britney Spears is baring nearly all on the cover of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

The singer of "... Baby, One More Time" posed in the buff for the cover of the August issue; there's also a photo spread inside.

On the cover, Spears, who is sitting, cups her breasts with her hands and crosses her legs while showing her protruding belly and smiling for the camera of lensman Alexi Lubomirski.

"Nothing to wear?" a cover headline asks. "487 Best new ideas inside."

Spears revealed to late-night talk show host David Letterman last month that she was pregnant, confirming media reports and ending much speculation.

The 24-year-old singer and her husband, Kevin Federline, have a son, Sean Preston, who was born last September.

What's the problem? I'm not a Britney fan by any means, but this seems a less harmful move than striding barefoot into a truckstop bathroom or using Sean Preston as a makeshift airbag...

Conversation, schmonversation--I want a fight, god damn it! And if it's a fight about nudity, so much the better!

Brittany is trashy and desperate. :puke:

:puke: I think they ought to rename that magazine "Bizarre." :eyes:

but then again i've never heard a whole britney song -- so keep that in mind.

The picture's beautiful. I hope she's finally pulling herself together.

one minute asking for privacy, the next, advertising oneself naked.

(On a superficial note: she looks good as a brunette.)

they have to pay for their own "therapy," if you catch my drift.

Welcome to DU, btw! :toast:

(And you've already found your way to the Lounge, I like that!)

...watching her in Fahrenheit 9/11 making that stupid "we should stand behind our president and believe in him" or something like that speech always pops into my head every time I see or hear about her.

I miss trailer park Brittany.

few red-neck, ignorant, foul-mouthed idiots. Why do people always look down their noses at those who live in mobile homes?

Said the fellow mobile home dweller. :toast:

court by the railroad tracks.

Lying there at night when the trains went through was wonderful. The whistle. Oh man. And then when it rained. I've never slept so peacefully since.

And Grandma had a chiming clock that chimed 4 times at quarter past, 8 at half past, 12 at quarter to, and sixteen chimes plus the number of hours on the hour.

I've always suspected that this is why I don't (and never have) slept as well since. For one, it is too quiet. Second, those were the happiest days of my life.

I love trailers.

There are a lot of nice retirement and family oriented mobile home parks out there, I'll grant, but there are also a hell of a lot of parks that would scare the bejeezus out of your average person. I could take you to three within 20 minutes of my house that would have you refusing to even get out of the car.

not just some trailer parks that have bad environments.

:eyes:

I don't think I've ever really met anyone who seriously believed that all trailer parks are redneck hellholes. People joke about them (because, as I said, there is a bit of reality to the stereotype), but I think that people are quite aware of the large percentage of clean, family oriented sites. My grandmother lived in a beautiful park for nearly a decade, and other than the HOA-ninnies who whined if her grass got even a half inch too high, it was a great place.

my take was about her dateline interview..
she dismisses things (baby in lap while driving) because "she's country"

The management is very strict and if the grass gets over 2 inches or if my home needs some exterior repairs, I receive a notice on my door to cut the grass or make repairs or I will be fined. But I am glad because it keeps our park from looking rundown.

that would have you refusing to get out of the car. Does this mean all of Baltimore is bad?

grandparents trailer home in the country.

the "Trailer Park Princess." Well I fired off a very heated e-mail. Let's see if he answers me.

Sorry. As someone who currently has a pregnant wife, as well as photoshop skills I can say that I've almost never seen a more airbrushed job. Looking at high rez photos it's so obviously fake. Not because it's a bad job, but because it's such a good airbrushing job. Not a single stretch mark, blemish, purple line, c-section scar, nada.

Yeah right.

but the C-Section scar would be hidden by her legs anyway.

Digital manipulation of magazine cover photos is as common as magazine cover photos. Surely you're not surprised to see it going on here?

on edit: stretch-marks and purpleness aren't inevitable, either!

It's the extreme nature of it. My wife saw the pictures and while she hates Ms. Spears, it still upset her and made her feel even more ugly at a very delicate hormonal time. I know she isn't alone because she was discussing it with a number of her other pregnant, or recently pregnant friends.

I'm certainly not surprised, but my point is that imagery like this, moreso than the regular modeling airbrush, can be detrimental to MY day when my wife gets depressed and goes on about how fat and ugly she is with all her stretch marks, and I have to talk to her about how much those photo's are airbrushed.

Seeing an 18 year old model airbrushed doesn't affect my wife. Seeing a pregnant woman looking like that, even if she is conscious of the airbrushing, still makes her feel especially ugly at an especially delecate time.

Just sayin'.

And in that case, it can be hurtful.

On the other hand, your wife and her friends can take great comfort in the fact that they aren't married to K-Fed...

;)

I gained 38lbs....I went from 116 to 154 lbs,
on a 5'2" frame.

Never had a mark.

Three kids, 5'3", and she got so big that we swore she was having twins each time. Not a single stretch mark though.

They worked for a design firm that handled her publicity and such. Every photo of her had to pass through this person's hands for retouching before it was approved for publication. And there was a *lot* of retouching. She apparently has terrible acne all over her face, chest and back. But through the magic of photoshop, she can make women everywhere feel completely inferior about their own flaws. Yay! :eyes:

It's so fake it's hilarious.

...This is no joke:

My Dad told me he used to rub olive oil on my mother's tummy, each night, to prevent stretch marks (when she was pregnant). Four children later, my mother didn't have a single one. I know it may sound a little kinky, but it worked for her. Just thought I'd pass the tip along!

for privacy recently? :nopity:

Well, she got the attention -- again...



:rofl:

pregnant pop tart Brittany Spears :rofl:

Need to wash my eyes out. Proof positive there's nothing original about Britney. Even stole Demi's hair color.

She's forever soiled by choosing to carry F-Ked the Fucktard's bun in her oven.

Oh, wait.... Harper's Bazaar.

sculpture of her that was recently created.

Harper's, without the Bazaar, is a most respectable publication, widely known for its "Harper's Index". I thought, "Great Caesar's ghost! What has the world come to when Harper's is reduced to publishing airbrushed nude photos of a superficial, soon-to-be-has-been pop star?!" (Although, in fairness to Britney, it must be said that, as between her and K-Fed, she's the intellectual. :evilgrin: )

Or is it the bastardette, where they put the little bastard.

that whole interview with Matt a couple of weeks ago kinda rings hollow. How the hell can she expect to be left alone when she puts herself out there like that.

For once.

Just sayin'.

Saw a few more from inside, and they're good...

I'm actually discussing a shoot with a pregnant model, but she's bashful about doing it as a "covered nude" -- I sent her this picture to see if maybe that would help change her mind. :)

My Mom did, and they were absolutely beautiful. What a treasure pictures like those would be.

I can retouch it so you LOOK pregnant. LOL.

i can't imagine that cover photo would tempt any woman to pose, she looks like a pig, an air brushed pig but still a pig

it isn't just abt having nicely airbrushed skin, it's also about having a shape, and her boobs are just all shapeless and yuck!

Sent the image to my model who was considering it, and she's going to do it. :)

Fortunately, the young lady I'll be photographing has not gained a lot of excess weight in the wrong places, so I'm anticipating some beautiful shots.

Out of morbid curiosity, I wonder why she decided to post for the second birth and not the first.

I didn't see it, but my sis who used to like her did, and she said it was a trainwreck. She looked awful, apparently, and sounded worse.

There's a rumor that after she saw that, she ripped out her extensions and dyed her hair. Even if not true, she is clearly on damage control detail.

maybe I can get my pic taken too? :rofl:


Still, it's good to see her REAL hair color for once. She looks so much better as a natural human being rather than a walking make-up advert...

As stated in a post above, Spears did not react well to the Dateline interview, and, uh, mangled her appearance before heading to the magazine shoot. Pretty much everything seen there was the result of magazine damage control. Nothing really to add to this thread, but I figured I'd post the short blurb about the shoot.

From contactmusic.com

Pregnant pop star BRITNEY SPEARS was so devastated by the negative reaction she received after her appearance on US news show DATELINE, she chopped off all her hair and dyed it black to help her image. The TOXIC singer received a barrage of criticism for appearing on the show in a sheer, low-cut top, denim mini-skirt and flip-flops earlier this month (JUN06). She reportedly insisted on doing her own hair and makeup for the interview and was slammed for appearing "dishevelled", with the New York Post reporting that fans called her hair a "rat's nest". A source tells American publication Us Weekly after the interview, "She felt terrible. She pulled out her extensions and bought a bottle of dark hair dye. "She didn't understand her image problem until the negative feedback about Dateline." Spears' representative insists the singer checked with her doctor first to see if dying her hair was safe for her unborn child adding, "It's vegetable dye and will wash right out." She then chopped her hair into a short bob, neglecting to tell editors of fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar, who were featuring her on an upcoming cover, what she had done. Spears showed up at the cover photo shoot last Friday with her new look and according to Us Weekly, the magazine's editors were "horrified". Stylists for the shoot had to work quickly to undo the damage and decided to add brunette hair extensions at the last minute.
