Britney poses nude for Harper's Bazaar


"Oops, she lost her clothes.

A six-month pregnant Britney Spears has posed nude for the cover of the August issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine and an accompanying photo spread inside, much in the style of the famous 1991 Vanity Fair cover of a naked and heavily pregnant Demi Moore." - From Ninemsn

She looks quite happy and 'glowing' in the photo - even after her breakdown on TV.... Or is that just photoshop? Either way, I think its a nice photo of her.
