It’s Nice When Your Perfume Ad Comes with a Disclaimer about Your On-Set Behavior

Britney Spears Believe National Print Ad

Britney Spears, who is learning the hard way that when your whole life is videotaped and broadcast internationally, a hit and run gets a little more complicated, just released the print ad for her new perfume from Elizabeth Arden. What’s special about this particular ad is that Elizabeth Arden felt it necessary to issue a little disclaimer along with the ad. Straight from my inbox:

We recently shot Britney Spears for the print campaign for her new fragrance Britney Spears Believe, in Santa Monica. It is true that Britney did leave the set; however, she returned after a brief time. Cayli was the wardrobe assistant on the shoot. We used her as a stand in so that we could set up the lighting while Britney was off the set. When Britney returned, we shot the national print ad with her. The only person in the national print ad for Britney’s Believe fragrance is Britney Spears.

So there you have it, people. What you see on that page is totally based on the image of Britney Spears and Britney Spears alone. Plus a whole lot of Photoshop.

  • I’m not sure I buy this. If you look at her hand, it looks long-fingered and beautifully manicured. I’m pretty sure that Britney has rather stubby fingers and her nails are usually chewed to the quick. There was a LOT of Photoshop work done to this. Ridiculously false representation of her.

  • Dude, that looks more like her little sister, Jamie Lynn! There must be something really weird going on here. What MAJOR brand releases and “explaination” along with their print ads?!

  • And the proper retort to their bogus publicity bulletin should be.. We the disgusted public are not stupid and we will not buy this product when you openly lie to us!

  • I believe it.

    Elizabeth Arden herself came back from the dead to personally write the disclaimer.

    Oh, and the moon is made of cheese.

    If you believe that bullshit then I have a bridge to sell you, it’s in Brooklyn. Slightly wind damaged but a steal!

  • That looks like Photoshopped Britney about 5 years ago! The hand, which doesn’t look like Britney’s hand, in front of the face looks so obviously Photoshopped in.

  • Britney could look like this if she took care of herself—but instead she actually looks like trash—I dont think the product will sell at all!!!

  • She can spray the kids sheets with this so they won’t forget her at night. I’m tired of being responsible.

  • or k fed, i can spray it on ur sheets so u can remeber what “getting paid” smells like…

  • I disagree. She could never look like this again. Once you hit your mid 20s and thereafter, and esp after having kids, forget it. You can look good, but not like that.

  • Momma and Daddy,

    Get off this fucking website and take care of us already, for Christ’s sake!

    Oh, and Jayden says to tell Momma she spelled remember wrong.

    Peace,

    Sean and Jay

    P.S. only really lame people use “u” and “ur” anymore.

  • Oh SP and JJ…you chilluns are priceless. Well, at least you can write…did you learn that from the bodyguards, because obviously Momma and Poppa didn’t teach you. Good luck coping with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, I’ve heard it’s a real bitch.
