In recent years,
Britney Spears has looked more like trailer trash than the pop princess she once was, and after having her two children, Brit says she's ready to revive her career in showbiz. Unfortunately, her big debut at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards was a flop, and after shedding a lot of tears over that screw-up, Britney has been in panic mode trying to figure out another way to get the world back on her side.
She was apparently in talks with Playboy earlier this week to do a shoot with them, however she was unwilling to take her top off for their $400,000 offer. Brit said she wasn't willing to do it for any less than $700,000, which Playboy founder Hugh Hefner scoffed at.
So having been rejected by Playboy, Britney decided to hit up another popular men's magazine - Maxim. According to one of Britney's friends she's working on lining up the deal, telling OK! Magazine:
“Brit’s in damage control mode now. She’s been talking to the folks at Maxim about doing a photo shoot. She wants to be on the cover as quickly as they can shoot her. The last thing she did that really reminded America of her allure was her sexy Rolling Stone cover from October 2003, so the idea of another high-profile cover is completely logical.”
Unfortunately, still in the minds of many, and especially those at OK! Magazine, was Britney's last photo shoot with OK! Magazine was a horrible disaster itself. Following that shoot, there were allegations of bizarre behavior, including incoherent rambling and eyes rolling back in her head, allowing her dog to defecate on a designer dress, stolen and damaged clothes, and other disgustingly odd behavior. In fact, OK! Magazine was so scarred by that shoot that they're publicly warning Maxim and reminding them of the “complete meltdowns she experienced at the planned fashion shoot for the pages of our magazine. Let’s just say… keep her dog away from any pricey designer clothes.”
Can Britney pull off another cover shoot without another disaster to land her back on the front of the gossip rags? If she wants anyone to ever take her seriously again, she needs to do this shoot with Maxim right, and even then her career might still be beyond repair.
