The good people at Allure were pretty seriously kind to Britney on the cover of their September issue. Despite the fact that the pop tart bailed on the interview for the bizarre cover photo shoot, they made sure the resulting picture was hot. Unfortunately, we all know Britney looks nothing like that these days. Does seeing this give you vague hope for Britney's future?
In the end, it seems oddly appropriate that Britney herself didn't talk in the article, because when was the last time that she actually really spoke for herself? Britney talks in snippets on her website or to the paparazzi, but the rest of what we hear about Brit comes from elsewhere -- from those forced to testify against her to those who just take advantage of a night by her side and every lawyer in between. Anyone who has a story will talk about Brit.
Hopefully Britney will get her act together (and work out this custody mess with Kevin), because there are still a lot of people holding out for her big comeback. I'm definitely not believing the rumors, but there is word that Brit will be the opening act at the VMAs in Vegas September 9. Hey, it doesn't hurt to hope!

She doesn't look BRITNEY!
1Fine cover and all but where's Britney?
2she kinda look like a brunette michelle williams
3Doesn't look at all like Britney. Didn't she also undress partially when she got there, for no particular reason?
Considering how many hours she rehearsed for that House of Blues tour, as sad as that was, it seems unlikely she is in any shape to be on the VMA stage next month.
4Woaahh!
5I looked at the picture first without reading headings and was like who is that? Does not look remotely like her. Goodness they airbrush sooo much and everything nowadays.
im rooting for you britney!!!
6That picture looks so much better than Britney ever does these days.
It's funny, if you read the link about Britney performing at the VMAs, it says that it was 4 years ago she had the kiss with Madonna. 4 years! I cannot get over how much Britney has changed. That performance feels like forever ago!
7Haha, this kinda shows that people in the magazines are really just human with lotta photo-shopping
8I'm hoping she goes back to her old britney ways...but I doubt it
9I couldn't even tell that was her
10woooooooooooow brit looks nice here! as she looks last days,,good!
11Why put her on the cover (photoshopped to the max) when she looks nothing like this?? Every magazine airbrushes, but at least it looks like the person. This has got to be one of the worst covers I have ever seen. When you have to completely re-do EVERYTHING on someone..why even bother??
12for sure, it's Britney!...she is so looking amazing, after two babies and a hell of awful people in the world!...goodness, it's so nice that many ugly people are envious of her!...we'll never see it her way, cause we're not her!...helloooo?...!
13Oh my, I thought it's Kelly Clarkson
14wow, talk about a lot of airbrushing and stuff.......
15Atleast she looks presentable here it could have been worse
16That looks nothing like her, it would have taken me a minute to place her if her name was not right there.
17i looked at the pic first, without reading and i thought it was sofia coppola ... but that oversexed pose didn't make sense - just looks so photoshopped!
18Its her with lots of photoshop job.. but great pic !
19britney is going to be the opening act at the VMAs!? i hope that rumor isn't true, i dont think she is ready for a performance especially since she wont even give an interview!
20Molly quoted:
"Hopefully Britney will get her act together (and work out this custody mess with Kevin), because there are still a lot of people holding out for her big comeback."
That right there is probably why Britney never will. People should let her just get better, at this point, a come back would be something even more self destructive because it's pretty obvious she's not at a place to do that in a healthy way.
21Instead of a "come back" and dreaming about the VMA's why not hope Britney gets serious help so she can actually live, and take care of her children. She is on such a self-destructive path, this really isn't about a come back anymore & it seems really shallow to think it is, and over look the rest
I'm so tired of her - seriously there are so many young, new, and talented artists out there that could so take her place. Why does everyone focus on her?? She honestly used to make me sick seeing her face every two seconds when she was the *iT* girl.
22Wow. That doesn't look bad but it also doesn't look remotely like her at all.
23People focus on her because it's not often you can see someone fall from the highest place to the lowest place, right in front of our eyes. Like a slow moving train wreck you can't stop, but you have to watch.
phatE is dead-on. Most normal people seem to recognize that if Britney doesn't get help she's headed for something tragic. But then there is the handful of fans/enablers, who cheer her airbrushed beyond recognition images and every rumor of a new song release, holding out for some "old Britney" to return.
Unfortunately this is it... the same girl you all loved when she was packaged by handlers. Now you are get the real Britney and it's not so pretty.
24She's looking beautiful, really
i can't believe my eyes! Thank God for photoshop
25In this photo, she looks a little like Catherine McPhee (around the eyes)
26they couldn't get her to stand still so they just took her picture on the floor lol!
27Funny how she is on the cover and one of the articles listed says "Bombshell hair".....
28well, you cant expect them to put on the cover looking like she does, noone would buy the magazine! maybe this should be a clue to her. if magazines have to photoshop you so much that it doesnt even look like you anymore, you probably look like crap.
29Great pic, however Photoshopped it may be-- makes me want to Photoshop all my pics, and I'm not even a hot mess!!
30i don't see what the big deal is. all of allure's covers are photoshopped. i think this looks like britney after makeup, lighting and editing. i don't think her body or face are so terrible today. she has strong legs and some flesh on her bones. of course, brit brit was never exactly beautiful... just a sexpot lolita type who got older.
31Hahahahahaha! Too bad for her that she really doesn't look like that...
32OMFG!!!!
that doesn't even look like britney!!!!!!
How shameless...i mean...do they think we are stupid??? well, maybe her fans are!
33actually on a serious note....if she does have mental issues...when she sees this...she's gonna keep thinking she really looks like that...so more crazy britney for us...ew
34
@ this title!
35if only my real hair looked a good as britney's fake hair in that picture!
36No way thats her, I don't believe it, photoshop can't be THAT good!
37I think they should stop photoshopping her, let her see the mess that she really is. Stop massaging her ego.
38looks like a distant relative
39I am not a Britney fan but you know that she is going to end up killing herself cuz all the media does is cut her down time and time again. She is mentally ill she doesn't need gossip pages and rag mags constantly up her a**. She hasn't even made music in years it is unbelievable to me that she is still followed around and stalked like she is. At the end of the day she is f*cking human and it makes me sick to see that after all this time of her shooting downward people still take some sick pleasure in her mental illness. I don't care if she ever makes another record in her life but from one 20 something female to another I hope she gets some serious medical attention before she kills herself. I am sure that most of the haters are overweight and fug chicks who hated on her when she was in top shape cuz they felt jealous of her now they can all have a laugh at her expense. She is a hurting human being I cannot believe that people have NO compassion what-so-ever, she is obviously sick and it is NOT COOL to make fun of people who have mental issues. It could happen to anyone, 2 close friends of mine got diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder in their mid 20's and their lives have never been the same. It's all fun and games until she kills herself, mental illness is NO JOKE. Maybe one day you or one of your children will get diagnosed and then maybe people can laugh at your kid as they lose control of situations in their life. It can happen to anyone people so stop being so naive.
40I think she looks like crap!! And I'm not just saying that because it's Britney. If I was trying to decide between a few magazines to buy and this issue was a choice, I wouldn't even consider it, yuck! It's not hot at all!
41The cover photo does NOT "give me vague hope for Britney's future," but quite the opposite. It makes me sad how the magazine industry is so terribly fake, taking an obvious train-wreck of a girl, and turning her into an image we all will idolize? That is wrong on so many levels. And it also reinforces to Britney that she is "ok" and looking good.
42she's going to get crucified in the media through this messy divorce
43It may not look like her at all, but the cover is gorgeous
44well molly i think this is something we have to get used to, britney being photoshopped. because judging from the more candid photos of her, everything she does from here on will be photoshopped.
45She looks better as a blond.
46i miss her blonde
47but her hair does look much better than ussaul here
but watever
i thought it was blossom....
48People give her chances eg Allure and yet she still f!!ks it up.
49did not recognize her!!! aaaah, the wonderous magic of photoshop...
