OK! Magazine was caught in the act of publishing an old photo to go with their April 2008 Britney Spear’s diet story. We know that some will not be shocked by this revelation. The temptation to couple an old photo with today’s reality is tempting - for sure. Actually the practice is more prevalent than most people know.

The Huffington Post was on the ball and realized that OK! was pulling a little wool over the eyes of readers by featuring a four year old photo of Brit, declaring that she has a secret diet that allowed her to shed 15 pounds in just 4 weeks. The photo that they used was actually part of a 2003 Glamour Magazine photo shoot. We can’t say whether the diet story is rumor or real. They may have been trying to match up a thinner photo with her current reality. Actually the photo was quite believable and no doubt passed the reader smell test.

Many are pulling for Britney as she works her way back to some semblance of normalcy. Her recent guest spot on How I Met Your Mother has given her a much needed boost in positive press. She and her dad Jamie are said to be weighing other television opportunities.

We’re even hearing some rumblings that she and Kevin Federline have been in closer contact. Hard to believe that just three short months ago it didn’t look like Britney had anything going for her. We wish her continued success as she finds her way again.
