Britney Spears (2003 Version) Covers Cosmo

Eat your heart out, Jessica Simpson.

Britney Spears is lookin' smokin' hot on the December cover of the Australian Cosmopolitan magazine. Don't you think? Damn, girl. Looks like 2003 Britney!

Actually, it is. The picture is five years old.

The cover shot was taken by James White for a cover story than ran in a different magazine, Esquire, back in 2003. Cosmo either didn't know or just really liked it!

That's a little bit of a sham. Rest assured, though - the Britney Spears nude photo stills from the "Womanizer" music video are the real deal - and real current.
