Britney For Free...

 

This week, as news of Britney Spears filing for divorce jostled with national affairs coverage, the troubled star's minders have been busily working behind the scenes to get her story out there, her way. Not only is Spears newly K-Fed-free, she is now offering photos of her second son, Jayden James, born in September — and gratis for the right magazine. Sources say Spears has sidestepped her usual go-to venue, People, which ran the first photos of the then-happy family in December. Instead, she's gunning for the prestige of a monthly or bimonthly, hoping to rehabilitate her flagging image in the TomKat/Vanity Fair mold.

 

As one of a handful of editors who had been called by Spears' representation on the story pointed out, monthly women's magazines don't write checks for photos and interviews, as People reportedly has for her in the past. But a little-known clause in the prenuptial agreement the couple signed guarantees Kevin Federline proceeds from all photos, which perhaps is another reason Spears is going for image rather than cash. Another complicating factor is that Spears has dropped her longtime rep, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, and is now back with her old manager, Larry Rudolph.

 

A spokeswoman for People — frankly, scooped by TMZ.com on the news of Spears' divorce — said, "We would be more than happy to have these pictures in People." A spokeswoman for Spears did not return a request for comment. — Irin Carmon
