It’s Britney watch! Sneek peek of Britney in Pop magazine!

We interrupt your regular blog postings for yet another edition of BRITNEY WHOAWWWWTCH!

It doesn’t hit stands until September 1, but Australian tabloid Grazia have been given a sneak peek of the upcoming issue of Pop magazine, featuring none other than Miss Britney Spears. And, if you were expecting something glossy and glamorous then think again, because by the look of this preview, Brit and famed artist Takashi Murakami have gone for something uber-trashtastic. The cover looks like some cheap porno magazine that you’d find hidden in your fathers garage, all frayed and faded because it’s been sitting there for ten years… and I love it! It’s such a stark contrast to the overly-sleek, high-gloss fashion that everybody else is doing right now, so I can only hope that her new album is as edgy as this look.

Anyway, enough of my ranting, and back to the Holy Spearit, who actually elaborated a little on the shoot in the excerpt that Grazia were given.

“I loved working with Takashi,” said Britney. “I especially liked how he took high-end fashion and incorporated it with Japanese Manga. We took a lot of characters and art before we shot, so I could get a feel of what he was looking for. I was in Japan on my last promo tour, and I loved it.”

And when I say that ‘Britney’ said that, I mean Larry Rudolph or Adam Leber said it, shoved Brit’s name on it, stuck it in a press release and then mailed it to Grazia.

You’ll be able to see the full Takashia/Britney Pop photoshoot in full and HQ when the magazine drops on September first. Can’t wait!

    Why are Asian covers always so childish? ;)
    Well, me like! Lovely pictures!

  • JayCred

    I still kinda wish her eyes didn’t look so dead. She looks good but like she’s not enjoying it.. She’s still lost that spark to me as much as I love her. Hope she’s eventually completely happy with what she’s doing.

    Still anticipating that album!

  • den

    Looks kinda creepy.

  • Stancho

    I DON’T like this… Come on… This looks like it need just a “Made in China” label… So not Britney… I’d like to see another side of her, not only those glamorous photoshoots, but not that side…. May be something that’s more dark and sexy…

    @JayCred Absolutely agree bout that sad lookin eyes…

    I love the creepiness. Honestly, she’d look like such a fish out of water now doing some high end fashion thing like Rihanna or GaGa. I love this because it embodies her personality, and how trashy and tacky she is LOL.

    I think it’s really cool that she went for a look like this and shocked everyone.

    Imagine if she kept her day-to-day look that she has now for this new era lmfao. It’d be so trash and funny.

    I love it! It’s so different :)

  • Stephanie

    I love this and it pisses me off so bad with the “dead eyes” thing. If anything she hated her job more than she does now in 2003-2004 since she had to break her knee just to get married and have a normal life for a couple of years.

    Anywho this is amazing and I can’t wait to see the HQ’s and I think she even did an interview

  • Adam

    is this what the countdown is for? I hope not

  • Ethan

    Look cool!

    But I want music news. =)

  • Diego

    Hey proph do u really believe that last remark u made about adam/larry or is that just ur special brand of sarcasm coming through again? Lol justwondering what side of the fence u fall on.

    And this shoot is weird/cute/creepy/kinda off and totally not britneys usual style. Its the most bizarre and different thing we’ve had from her in a while. Fans should be praising it. I love it

  • Nyc1

    So sick of the “dead eyes” comment. Her eyes were dead in the Piece Of Me video. She looks more alive in these pics. Especially in the second cover that hasn’t been posted yet. This shoot is awesome. I like that’s its different but not all dark & edgy like everyone else is doing.

  • jay

    omg! love love love it!!! so different and new and cool!

  • meli

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Japanese porn dvds with the same cover. So dirty. I think I love it.

  • Andy

    I love this! I think I was one of the few people who loved the Break The Ice video, which was kind of anime(japansese style)!

    This is what I cal ART!

    not the same boring fashion shoots over and over again. Can’t wait for the HQ pics.

  • Musicjunkie

    Ummm she looks like Courtney Love…

  • Stephanie

    Lol at you people. If anything this is real art compared to what gaga parades as art. Her vanity fair shoot was nice and all but this is real art.

    The shoot was directed by an artist who is obsessed with the notion of selling a product and brand figure, as well as Japan’s fascination with trying to somewhat creepily maintain a cutesy innocence in pop culture characters (especially females). Consumerism meets fetishism.

    Also ‘Britney looks like Courtney Love in the shoot’: Courtney’s 90s Kinderwhore look is not far off the Japanese penchant for schoolgirl and babydoll styling in manga and niche fashion. The rest is the bleached hair and slightly twisted take on doll-like eye make up (to show Murakami isn’t actually trying to repackage Brit as innocent and how the idea of doing so doesn’t quite sit properly). On a basic level, it also plays into the grunge revival in fashion circles and POP is a fashion magazine

  • Lisa

    Trashtastic! I immediately overlooked this, because it looked like one of those cheap ass teen magazines with a bunch of nonsense.

  • SunDee
