Rumour has it that some naked Britney Spears pictures taken by her paparazzo boyfriend have been sold to an Australian magazine.

Well, OK, they're not strictly naked Britney Spears pictures, because Britney's wearing a T-shirt. But it's a wet T-shirt. Well, it's soggy. Slightly damp. OK, so an Australian magazine has basically just bought some pictures of Britney Spears in a slightly damp T-shirt. Happy now?

After everything she's been through - the fighting, the room-barricading, the stretcher-strapped hospital visit, the psychological tests, being banned from seeing her children, all that nonsense with Dr Phil - Britney Spears is probably at her lowest, weakest and most hopelessly vulnerable at the moment. 

So, hey, who's for some naked Britney Spears pictures?

The internet, as it's sometimes prone to be, is awash with stories that Britney Spears' paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has been snapping all kinds of naked Britney Spears pictures with the intention of selling them to a British tabloids for $5 million. That'd be great - naked popstar pictures are the very reason why the internet was invented - but for three problems:

1 - We've all seen pictures of Britney Spears' naked vagina anyway.

2 - As such, most people would rather sandpaper their eyes than look at naked Britney Spears pictures these days, and

3 - They aren't actually naked pictures of Britney Spears, or anyone else.

What they are, apparently, are pictures of Britney Spears in a soggy T-shirt sucking a lollipop. And you're right to involuntarily shudder with dread, because the Britney Spears pictures are supposed to be so awful that nobody has even come close to reaching the asking price for them.

Apparently the 'naked' Britney Spears photos were eventually licensed to an Australian magazine for a measly $57,000 - roughly what Britney Spears earns in two and a half days.

So that's it. Looks like it was all nothing more than a false alarm. It's probably just as well that they weren't nude Britney Spears photos, because we had the sandpaper in our hand and everything, and we weren't going to be talked down this time.
