Britney Spears on cover of "Rolling Stone"

We figured we needed something gentle to the eye to balance out the Heidi and Spencer and the vision of a bloated, glue-white Michael Jackson lying with his barber shop pole penis hanging loose, drinking gravy with a straw like it was a scorpion bowl at Madame Wong's. So here's Britney Spears on the cover of next month's Rolling Stone. Yeah, if you'd have told us a year ago that we'd be posting a modern picture of Britney to titillate, we would have fallen off our chair. Then again, with the distressed stonewash jeans, the promise of Drew Barrymore, Mickey Rourke, and Biggie Smalls on the cover, and the fact that it's Rolling Stone, it may as well be the 1990s.
