So I, uh, looked at these pictures. And somehow… I don’t feel like a vegetarian anymore. Don’t know why that is, but it’s bothering me.
By now, I should be inured to the Meat Parade that is Spearsiana. It’s not like this is the first time Brit’s posed in the nearly nude. It’s not even the first time she’s posed pregnant. As for this new sexy-pregnant direction she’s taking: One could argue her career itself has been a merry chase through every phase of implied porn, from jailbait to Marilyn and back.
Yet I find myself thinking fondly of Demi Moore, and how she managed to pull this off with such comparative style 15 years ago. Aesthetically (and I use the term loosely), there’s just something… off here. Something a photographer or an editor should’ve caught. Unless, as I suspect, the intention was to humiliate and degrade… the reader. Oogies. Just look at these. They’re the pregnant popstar equivalent of Burt Reynolds on the bearskin rug.
Still, these pics aren’t the most disturbing thing I’ve seen today. That honor goes to this (thanks, I think, to Gawker).

Aside from being a no talent moron, she could probably come across sexy in month nine!!!
Tacky, tacky, tacky!
And how much of a hypocrit is she….telling people that she wants privacy and then showing every nook and crannie on the front of a magazine.
Demi looked sexy. Britney just looks gross.
Does Britney think we’re stupid?? We ALL know she looks nothing like this. Amazing what airbrushin and makeup does. She dresses like a slob and doesn’t seem to care too much about her face. We’re supposed to think she’s classy all of a sudden??
Uh-oh… Hopefully Slezak didn’t see that navel!
Forget Britney that Maury clip was amazing!
PICKLE PHOBIA…There are no words…PICKLE PHOBIA?
Didn’t she just tell Matt Lauer that she wanted the paparazzi to leave her alone…umm this isn’t helping her situation.
mmmm pickles….
She is such a skank – I can’t believe that Harpers Bazaar is this desperate. All I can say is THANK GOD she didn’t pose for Playboy – as a subscriber to that magazine I’d hate to be subjected to this trailer trash.
The difference between Demi & Britney’s pics (aside from 15 years) is that Demi looked like a mature, beautiful woman. Brit, with her “aw, shucks” expression, looks like she’s been knocked-up by her uncle Cooter.
Who is this magazine supposed to appeal to? Not young men, caus it is as far from sexy as being propositioned by a homeless man who hasn’t showered in the new milennia. Not to adults, caus what adult gives a rip about Britney Spears? I just pray to the good Lord that this isn’t aimed at her teenage girl crowd… caus that message would sound something like, “Look how much fun I’m having, knocked up and naked at the same time, and showing it to the WORLD!! Don’t ‘cha wanna be just like me? Try it, it feels wonderful, see the perky look on my face? No, my face, that’s… above my breasts… i think.”
Who wants to read this magazine? Please raise your hand, then chop it off, in hopes you cant turn the pages.
Another example of downward spiraling celebs.
Thanks Scott… Thanks a lot. Now I’m disturbed for life!! and… PICKLES!! yes.. I am Amelia from Becca’s myspace, well… if you look at her myspace for SOME reason, I don’t know why you would though…
I really want to know if she overcomes her fear of pickles! Is it wrong that I laughed so hard at someone so terrified?
Things that make you go… blah!
Seriously, it’s too bad that she couldn’t airbrush K-Fed out of her life, what a scumbag.
I am not a Britney fan, but she does look good in these photos.
Sven, Sven, Sven…welcome to the world of airbrushing. Did you see how she looked for her interview with Matt Lauer??
I did not see the Matt Lauer interview. The only time I ever see anything of Britney is in EW (or at ew.com). But airbrushing was invented for a reason. She may not look that good in real life, but not many celebs do without it. ..
Wants the media to just leave her alone eh? Perhaps step number 1 would be to stop posing nude on the front of magazine covers. The best part of her hypocrisy is that she does it naked!
OMG! Maury Povich is an absolute DICK!!! Yes, it’s a strange phobia, but it was clearly genuine. That poor girl didn’t need to be mocked like that, as opposed to pregnant Britney begging for privacy while simultaneously posing nude for a magazine cover.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sigh. Yes, Britney, it did work for Demi. People got all worked up and talked about how daring/scandelous/sexy she was. But let’s review some salient point here:
1. Things that were shocking and innovative in 1991 are, by definition, no longer new, especially if they have been done about a dozen times in the intervening years.
2. Demi Moore was a respected actress with a reputation of being ‘edgy’. None of those adjectives apply to you.
3. A picture that has its appeal in its stark simplicity is not improved by the addition of a big-ass necklace.
4. Harper’s Bazaar is not exactly Vanity Fair.
p.s. Not that I have any problem with you going brunette, but with your coloring you might want to consider something other than Garnier Intense 100% in Blue Black.
Yeah, something about the look in her eyes for those photos say “young woman who got talked into a little too much” not “Mature woman who knows exactly what she’s doing”. Someone is giving Britney REALLY bad advice, and she keeps taking it.
As for the pickle woman, does her fear apply to cucumbers? What about zuchini? If so, it makes sense why this fear would be such a pain in the heineken
yeah, cause when people don’t like me and think i am trashy i pose naked to change their minds.
hypocritical idiot.
please leave my alone/look at my tatas, which are so airbrushed that it appears that i am unable to breastfeed.
i want my son to have a normal life/look at my naked nine month old son posing in the magazine in which i appear naked in.
i don’t respond to trash/i am interviewing to defend myself against the tabloids and no other reason as i have no professional endeavors in the works.
as for maury, i too found that hilarious. i almost feel bad about that, but not quite.
The Brit pix are tacky beyond words. Her mama must be soooo proud. Yech.
As for the pickle girl, it was disturbing to see her being tormented and it kinda makes you wonder if she’s been sexually abused. There is a special circle of hell just waiting for Maury.
The new edition of Webster’s Dictionary defines trailer trash as………
I can’t click the links (damn work computer), therefore I don’t understand the whole Maury Povich and pickle comments. Anyone mind explaining? She’s like a car accident, I know I should look, I don’t want to look, but I just can’t seem to look away. I don’t know if I feel sorry for her stupidity or if I’m just thoroughly sickened by her.
But please, for the love of all that kabbalah, I mean holy, explain Maury and the pickle to me.
Now only if Britney had a fear of pickles like that girl in the video, this photo would have never taken place now would it?
I wish my pregnant belly could get airbrushed all pretty like that… and did anyone else noticed that her nipples seem to have completely disappeared?
Speaking as a pregnant woman who takes pride in how cute I look in my current condition, there is not a snowball’s chance in hell I’d let the viewing public at large see my tasty treats in said current condition (or to be fair, any other). Some things were just meant to be private….oh, and I’m not believing that she found some magic lotion that completely eliminates stretch marks. Not only are those pics kinda scary, they’re not exactly what I would call realistic.
She doesn’t need to be crying about the public on her like white on rice if she is just gonna go off and pose nude and get MORE attention then ever….give it up already.
