‘Post’ published Spears booze pic only after photog agency assured accuracy

» More Celebs


Excuse us while we clearly take an already-overblown story too far – but whenever we hear “Britney Spears” and “hitting the sauce” in the same sentence, we can’t help but soil ourselves.

Now New York Post editor Col Allan – a name you recognize only now because he continues getting everything wrong – says he published the front page photo of Spears and her ginseng bottle only ‘”after being assured by the Bauer-Griffin photo agency that Ms. Spears was consuming a mini-bottle of ‘Glenlivet whiskey.'”

Indeed. Allan also says Spears’ rep refused to comment. Twice. And when the PR people say nothing, it’s an immediate yes. Didn’t Spears’ people also once deny her marriage? And her engagement? And now: the baby.
