Britney's Disastrous Photo Shoot

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned that Britney's self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster. We're told that the photos are so bad, execs at the magazine are, at this moment, trying to decide whether to report what actually happened -- or sanitize the truth to protect the pop train wreck.

According to multiple sources, Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown." She was, according to our sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" we've learned, that to publish them could "kill her career." Apparently, Brit Brit's eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Her mood, we're told, was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks our source says, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her. Out of control y'all!

We've also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. We're told after she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar Gucci dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease. Yuck! One of her dogs also needed some assistance in the housebreaking department. Our on-set spy says that the dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used (what else?) -- a Chanel dress to clean it up! How trashtastic!

UPDATE (8:33 AM PT): In a surprising move, OK! Magazine says they're going to show Britney as she really was on the day of her disastrous photo shoot -- the good, the bad and the unbelievably ugly!

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, OK! Editor-in-Chief Sarah Ivens said, "OK! Magazine spent a heartbreaking day with Britney Spears and witnessed first-hand an emotional cry for help that will leave you shocked and sad. This week, on newsstands Friday, the truth will be told."

61. Wow. After a nervous breakdown like that, I have no
other choice but to consider myself no longer musically
a fan of Britney Spears. Regaurdless of how her career
gets back on track, if at all, I wish her all the best of luck.
God speed, Britney Spears, and I still hope to meet you
someday when you're all better after this ordeal. I realise
your life has been tragic up to this point, but I want you
to know that ever since 1998, I've had a crush on you
that hasn't stopped since. Please, remember that I will
always, always, always be your friend, no matter what.
RICK.

64. I don't feel sorry for the little twit. She's out of control due to her own mismanagement of her life and she has had more than enough chances to get herself back on track. Her ex-husband has gotten a bad rap throughout their marriage and divorce, but I am beginning to think he's the "good" one out of the two. At least he is taking care of his kids. If Brit needs help, she can afford to get it and should do so. If she isn't serious about it, then let the chips fall where they may. She obviously could care less with her behavior of late, and I think everyone should just let her fall into the gutter and leave her ass there. I have no sympathy for drug abusers/alcoholics. Life's a bitch but you have to deal with it, and deal with it sober/straight like everyone else. Get off your pitty potty, Brit....put on your big girl panties and deal with it!!!!!

65. I have a 4 y/o daughter, and I'm scared, because this is one of the freaks she'll be paying attention to as she grows older. I think I'll get rid of my tv set.

66. Actually, Ryan, the other thing she needs to do is put on some clothes...LOL Now that she has two kids she should have more decency.

67. Has anyone considered the "source"? OK magazine. Not exactly the most truthful journalism. And please...like there was ever any doubt they'd show the photos. They'll put them on the cover with "Britney's Meltdown" plastered all over. That's how they make their money.

68. Both Britney and that cheap bitch Lohan should be locked up in a rehab for the rest of their lives. Neither of them has any talent and they are a waste of time for the stupid photograhers who follow where ever they go.

71. This girl really gets under my skin and I'm so over hearing about her oh so sad life!
the media needs to just let this sorry excuse of a woman go, and let her drown herself in her tears some where else . She is no kind of role model for any child in this world. Beat it Brittany!

72. This is so stupid who cares if the dumb celebrity is on whatever drug she's on...all of you are acting so surprised...

"Oh no britney is freaking out"
"Oh who would have thaught that britney of all people would do this"
"I feel sorry for her"

Psshh.
Thats so dumb feeding into the Media's vast serving of Coked-out, Cracked-out, Alcoholic Celebrities...
Oh yah I wanna hear this every day of my life...I dont feel sorry at all its their Evil Money and they can do what they want with it.

PS...Celebrities arent even People...Their Zombies.

73. All these creatures need to lay of the Tina or what ever their drug of choice is. It is destructive, but they know that. Just another way for these famous nobodies to get attention. Join the loser club Brit! Remember guys you do not have to be high on anything to be a wanna be celeb!

74. to many young people have not had the proper relationship with others to be able to cope with life to start with and someone that becomes a star and rich at a early age has less of a chance than most others,

75. Give me a break! I'm sick of these "celebrities" having meltdowns all the time! I understand that living life in the public eye is difficult, but I'd like one of these little girls to trade their lives with me! They have enough money to go buy an island and live there for the rest of their lives and be happy. I have no money and I'm trapped in a job I hate 7 days a week! I only get 2 days off a month and I don't even make enough money to go out to clubs! These stupid girls need to grow the hell up and realize that life is no picnic. PATHETIC!
