BRITNEY SPEARS NUDE PICS TO BE PUBLISHED IN AUSTRALIA: OK! MAG SUES OVER JAMIE LYNN SPEARS
January 10th 2008 00:31
Nude photos of Britney Spears that publishers in the US and UK refused to touch will be published by an unidentified Australian men’s magazine, according to Channel 9’s Today Breakfast show.
The show’s flambouyant Hollywood-based celebrity reporter Richard Reid said the photos had been flogged around the US circuit without success, until being picked up by the Australian magazine which plans to publish soon.
Meanwhile, Richard Desmond's Northern & Shell, the owner of OK! magazine, is suing rival celebrity magazine Heat, claiming copyright infringement over an exclusive interview with Britney Spears' pregnant sister.
Heat, owned by Emap and in the process of being sold to German group H Bauer, did not credit OK! as the source of the quotes and even claimed its story was exclusive, according to Northern & Shell.
The interview, published in OK!'s US edition in the week before Christmas, propelled the magazine to sales of 1.8 million, requiring an expanded print run.
Northern & Shell, which also owns the Daily Express and Daily Star, said it was taking action against Heat's publisher, Emap London Lifestyle Limited, and the magazine's editor-in-chief, Mark Frith.
