Here's the long-rumored Blender cover featuring "Britney Spears," or rather a composite thereof; the cover accompanies a lengthy, depressing story covering her current career as a paparazzi object/wreck, one that's probably best summed up by the line "Disasters, not music, have become her product." You do have to wonder, though, if future issues of Blender will include such full disclosure about the photo-manipulation running wild within its pages! At the very least, they could provide a back-of-the-issue tutorial on how to use Photoshop to make subjects' abs glisten in just the right way.

<![CDATA[Britney Spears To Return To Her Cover-Girl Heights Again (Sorta)]]> 78207130.jpgThe 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]
