OK! Goes for It!!

In a surprising move, OK! Magazine says they're going to show Britney as she really was on the day of her disastrous photo shoot -- the good, the bad and the unbelievably ugly!

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, OK! Editor-in-Chief Sarah Ivens said, "OK! Magazine spent a heartbreaking day with Britney Spears and witnessed first-hand an emotional cry for help that will leave you shocked and sad. This week, on newsstands Friday, the truth will be told."

As TMZ first reported, Britney had a complete and total meltdown during the interview and photo shoot. OK! was faced with a huge decision; to run the horrifying photos as is and risk ruining their relationship with Brit (and potentially her career), or run a sanitized -- and untrue-- article.

In the end, it appears as if OK! chose journalism over Hollywood. OK! is OK!

Will someone remind me why a parent would ever want their son/daughter to become a child actor. Lohan and Spears are completey out of control. At least LL doesn't haven't children of her own to screw up. I feel bad for BS's children.

paris sucks judges:  1665 days ago

I think this is awful, really. I'm no Britney fan, but these people are exploiting someone's obvious mental condition and that's wrong. It's like picking on a retarded kid! If these people had a soul, they would sit her down and tell her to seek help and not release this interview and the photos. I swear you bloggers and papparazzi are gonna drive this girl to suicide soon. Just watch, then you'll all have blood on your hands.

Annoyed:  1665 days ago

Who is taking care of her children???!!!!! She IS A MESS!!! We don't need OK to tell us that. Does she have any friends at all!!?? She seems to be on the outs with everyone....especially those who can do her some good. The YES people she surrounds herself with should be ashamed of themselves. Her sons are at such a vulnerable age....where is there father in all of this??? Where are their grandparents while all this going on???!! Come on folks.....Someone PLEASE help those kids....they don't deserve to be exposed to a mother like Britney....she is unfit as a person, therefore, definitely unfit as a parent.

Catherine, save your book and time These girls can barely read let alone have the depth of personality to care. They are all headed for the same place. Keeping company with Anna Nicole. They must all be wanting to take that dirt nap real soon.

Mad As Hell:  1665 days ago

Oops, I did it again, sighs Britney. Or, is that her way of messing with the public, as in the video where she says that everyone is so smarter than her, and that she is so like-stupid.

She unlike the rest of the Hollywood wild girls has a mental health issue. She sounds like she has OCD, possibly bipolar etc. Many stars have children and have gone thru a divorce and survive. Look at Reese Witherspoon, Denise Richards. Britney wiping her hands on a Gucci dress is disgusting. I would have asked her to pay for it. No wonder Ali is distancing herself from Britney. Her body guards are who i really feel sorry for, they must have their hands full every day putting out fires with this nut case. I like actually was hoping for her to come back, but after reading about the OK shoot, no more. Wiping after her dogs with chanel dress etc, I would not want to be around her. No wonder Paris called her an animal. Because she thinks she can handle everything on her own, she is spirling to the gutter fast. If she had a publicist this story would never have come to light. I don't care if she has ten hit records, the real britney is disgusting and I would never buy her music again. Amy Winehouse might be a drunk but at least she can really sing.

Journalism over Hollywood? What do you think will sell more mags... Sanitized Brit or Trainwreck Brit? I don't blame them for running the story and pics but let's not make them out to be "truth seeking journalists" taking the high road. It's all about the $$$
