Britney Spears has added an even-scarier foe to an enemy list that already includes Perez Hilton and her own fanbase. The Catholic League is livid over Spears’ photos in the centerfold of the liner notes of Blackout, out in stores today. The first picture shows Brit, a mother of two, posing provocatively in a confessional booth while the priest stares on disapprovingly (hmm … sexualizing religious imagery … where have we seen that before?). In the next frame, Brit crosses the line between church and state when she plops herself down on the priest’s lap and touches her chest, which dons a crucifix. The priest, meanwhile, doesn’t look too bummed about being smothered by Spears. The League, by contrast, is not too happy. “This girl is crashing,” League President Bill Donohue told the New York Daily News. “She’s not even allowed to bring up her own kids because she’s not responsible enough. Now we see she can’t even entertain.” She may not be responsible, but the girl can definitely entertain, as evidenced by the news that Brit’s lawyer has requested that the judge in her custody battle cease subjecting the pop star to random drug testing (today the judge granted her three visits a week with Sean Preston and Jayden James, rather than shared custody). But ultimately people, finally, after months of bad press, the VMA performance, the removal of her children, the album leak and many more headlines, Blackout is finally here. Now will it sell?
