Like it or not, Britney saga a good read
Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2008 Britney Spears looks quite the adult on the cover of the of Rolling Stone magazine, dressed casually in a gray T-shirt and jeans, with a pink-and-white striped adornment slipped into her navel. She seems to be watching something fascinating out of view, and I imagine it’s a flair bartender flinging Beefeater bottles, or maybe ex-husband Kevin Federline’s video for “Lose Control.”
