Apparently, Britney Spears is out to prove she’s not a girl and very much a woman.

Just days after baring her soul on Dateline, the pregnant pop tart is taking a page out of
Demi Moore’s playbook and baring, well, everything else, for the cover of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

The magazine confirmed Wednesday that Spears posed in the nude for the cover and an accompanying feature story and photo spread at a shoot on Thursday.

Unfortunately for Harper’s, said photos leaked onto the Internet shortly after the conclusion of the shoot and were available on various Websites as of Wednesday afternoon.

But I know you’re here to see the pictures, so here you go:

Try as they might, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just can’t seem to stop getting caught on film.

Lawyers for the Mr. and Mrs. Smith costars have been busily mailing out threatening letters to a number of media outlets with regard to a digital memory card containing images of among other things, a “private baby shower,” that was allegedly stolen from the couple.

According to the legal eagles at high-powered law firm Lavely & Singer, the purloined memory card has been offered for sale to various media outlets despite it being “obvious to anyone viewing the stolen photos that they were taken in private, on private property and that they could only have been taken by our clients and/or a family member, who own all right title and interest thereto.” (A copy of the letter can be seen online at TMZ.com.)

As a result, Pitt and Jolie’s attorneys are making it clear that anyone daring to publish said photos will be held “liable for substantial compensatory damages, punitive damages and injunctive relief.”

Even so, at least one photo of the couple, purportedly taken from the memory card, had made its way onto the Internet Monday. In the shot, both Pitt and a very pregnant Jolie have white feather boas wrapped around their heads and big grins plastered on their faces.

The legal missive states that some of the photos also show Jolie and Pitt with Maddox and Zahara at a function in Namibia, where they had a “reasonable expectation of enjoying total privacy.”

Police are reportedly investigating the theft of the images.

It’s just the latest photographic misfortune to befall the Jolie-Pitt clan in recent days, after a paparazzo was arrested last week for trespassing while trying to snap a shot of four-year-old Maddox at his daycare center in Malibu.

In other news of the World’s Most Beautiful Family, Newsweek named patriarch Pitt one of the 15 People Who Make America Great in its latest issue, on newsstands Monday.

Pitt was commended for using his star power to draw attention to Namibia, the African nation where he, Jolie and their kids holed up for weeks while waiting for Shiloh’s birth. Knowing he’d be trailed by the paparazzi anywhere he went, he said he and Jolie chose a destination they knew would benefit from being in the public eye.

“It’s the first time I’ve actually felt like we have some degree of control over it,” Pitt told the magazine. “I can’t describe what an immense relief it is for me.”

The actor also explained his and Jolie’s decision to sell their daughter’s first baby pictures to the highest bidder.

“Knowing that someone was going to hound us for that first photo–and was going to profit immensely for doing it–I just couldn’t live with it,” Pitt said. “We were able to turn that around and collect millions for people who are really going to need it.”

The proceeds from the photos, which People magazine purchased for a reported $4 million, went to African charities selected by the couple.

While Pitt and Jolie have said they have no plans to wed in the immediate future, they are planning to adopt another child, whose sex and country of origin they have yet to determine.

“Whether you have them or adopt them, they’re all blood,” Pitt told Newsweek. “And the funniest people I’ve ever met.”

ET confirms that Oscar® winner NICOLE KIDMAN and Country music star KEITH URBAN were married Sunday evening, Australian time, in a small ceremony in Sydney.

From the wedding guests to the dress to the dramatic “I do’s,” ET is Down Under with all the wedding details from this uniquely Aussie affair!

The tasteful, star-studded ceremony took place at Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on the St. Patrick Estate, with Nicole’s father, ANTONY KIDMAN, reportedly walking her down the aisle. Nicole’s sister, ANTONIA KIDMAN, was said to be the matron of honor, and Nic’s best friend, actress NAOMI WATTS, is said to have been a bridesmaid. Father PAUL COLEMAN, an old friend of Nicole’s and her family, conducted the service.

A spokesperson for Madonna has denied she “laughed hysterically” after hearing news of poor ticket sales for Mariah Carey’s upcoming U.S. tour.

Reports in the American press suggest the music icon took great pleasure in the apparent news of her pop rival struggling to fill the venues for her upcoming live dates. The New York Daily News claims Madonna holds a grudge against Carey, following a disagreement between the pair earlier on in their careers.

“Madonna laughed hysterically. She has been asking her tour promoters to email her Mariah’s sales,” a “source” told the paper.

However, Madonna’s spokeswoman denied the reports, insisting: “She has no negative feelings toward Mariah.”

Meanwhile, Mariah’s spokesperson said the live dates were set to be a great success, commenting: “Her tour is selling well. She’s cancelled a few dates so she can add shows in larger cities.”

Star magazine has hit a baby bump in the road.

Reese Witherspoon filed a lawsuit against the publication Wednesday, arguing that a “phony” June 26 cover story headlined “Reese & Julia–Baby #3″ and featuring shots of Witherspoon and Julia Roberts was a “callous effort to boost the tabloid’s sagging sales,” according to court documents obtained by E! Online.

The Oscar winner is claiming she has suffered significant distress and damage to her good name because of the story.

Star couldn’t be reached for comment.

The magazine cover in question directed readers to check out the inside pages to “get all the happy details,” apparently referring to Witherspoon’s alleged pregnancy. “Going for Baby No. 3!” was the tagline in the issue’s table of contents. The cover photo also appeared front and center on Star’s Website…full story

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY is the cover girl for the July issue of InStyle magazine — and ET has your first look!

Shot in a small town just outside of Rome, Keira takes to the camera like a pro, looking like a radiant star. However, she finds the whole high-fashion Hollywood image routine a bit hard to swallow.

“I don’t know why I’m such a scrub, but I am,” she tells InStyle. “I’ve got some great clothes and I’ll put them on, do my makeup and hair, stand in front of the mirror and feel like such an idiot. I feel stupid if I’ve made the effort.”

Could have fooled us, Keira!

The young beauty has been acting since childhood, but it was her role in ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ that started turning heads in her direction. Then she blew up the box office, and her career, with ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’

With the highly-anticipated sequel to ‘Pirates’ hitting theaters July 7, the starlet opens up about co-stars JOHNNY DEPP and ORLANDO BLOOM, even dishing the dirt on who’s the best kisser!

One thing is for certain, this is a girl who knows what she likes, and her taste is low-maintenance. She tells the magazine, “U.K. guys — the ones I know — don’t take as much stock in their appearance. Ask an American guy what his beauty regime is, and he’ll tell you. Ask a Brit, and he’ll say, ‘Er…Guinness [beer]?’ I like that.”

The July issue of InStyle hits stands this Friday.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - A partnership between Madonna and global fashion retailer H&M may, initially, cause some to scratch their heads. For many, Madonna has more in common with Versace than H&M’s inexpensive yet fashionable clothing.

But at the busy intersection of music and fashion, Swedish brand H&M has signed on to supply Madonna and her entire touring company (band, stage crew, dancers) with offstage wardrobes during the artist’s already-in-progress Confessions Tour.
