The next issue of Blender will reportedly feature Britney Spears on its cover, with whatever poor sap who was contracted for the story spending "a month on a Britney safari, following her actions and talking with those closest to her." (When I think of the words "Britney safari," I think of the 2001 VMAs, but that could just be the PTSD talking.) While this does square with those reports of the mag needing a Britney body double a few weeks ago, and it certainly will sell copies off the newsstand, wouldn't an expedition like this be better suited to a blog? Or is the whole story going to be prefaced by an explanation of the concept of "lead times" for less savvy readers? [Page Six / Photo: Getty]
