BRIT *IS* OK!

OK TO RUN WITH BRIT AS IS!!

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."

As TMZ first reported, Britney had a complete and total meltdown
during the interview and photo shoot. OK! was faced with a huge
decision; to run the horrifying photos as is and risk ruining their
relationship with Brit (and potentially her career), or run a
sanitized -- and untrue-- article.
