News and gossip about Britney Spears

Well, at least in terms of Internet traffic.

Britney Spears calculated trajectory to mega-fame went off the rails this year, generating tremendous web interest. For this reason, she was the most commonly searched for “musician” this year, beating out Beyonce, according to Yahoo!

Perhaps Britney could have learned something from Stacy Ferguson, a.k.a. Fergie (#3), who suffered her personal downfalls in relative obscurity first before hitting it big and handling herself well on the confessional circuit later.

You’ll notice that only two men - Akon and Chris Brown - made the list, as did somebody’s alter ego. That’s right, Hannah Montana is really a character played by Miley Cyrus.

While Miley Cyrus does have her own sizable search recognizance (#23), Hannah Montana hysteria proved far more relentless to browsers. It’s also nice to see Hilary Duff up there as well. Who doesn’t love Hilary Duff, honestly?

Once the hottest thing on Earth, Britney Spears will reportedly be replaced by a body double for an upcoming spread of nude photos in Blender Magazine.

Apparently, the quote-unquote music publication thinks the train wreck is “too out of shape” and plans to replace Britney Spears’ naked body with a double.

The shoot will recreate one of the last photos taken of Marilyn Monroe. The magazine plans to use a “more in shape” model in place of Britney Spears.

An advertisement in the magazine reads…

“We are casting for a Britney Spears body double. You must have shoulder length medium blonde hair. This person must also be in shape! 5’2” to 5’5”. This will be a take off of a Bert Stern photograph of Marilyn Monroe in bed, from the last shoot before her death. Your face will not be shown in the final photo.”

It is a sad day when a Britney Spears nude photo spread must require a body double. Almost as sad as when Lindsay Lohan and Riley Giles broke up.

Meanwhile, Britney posed for a family portrait with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, but the photographer reportedly sold the pic to the press.

The struggling singer posed in private for the personal photographs - believed to be used for her Christmas cards - but celebrity photographer Dani Brubaker sent out a press release bragging about the photo shoot.

“She’s just another person in a long line of people trying to profit from Britney Spears,” said a Spears source to MSNBC, noting that this was a legal move because “Britney had no confidentiality agreement in place.”
