Britney Goes Bonkers

Just when you thought you've heard it all about Britney Spears, the troubled pop star ruined a fashion shoot at OK! magazine and—in a stunning reversal—the celeb-friendly glossy is dishing the whole shocking story.

"It was like a cry for help really, it wasn't normal," says OK! magazine's editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens, who attended the July 19 shoot. The project, requested by Spears' "people" a few days earlier, was supposed to be the fallen idol's "comeback story and tell-all."

Instead, it became proof positive Spears, 25, has fallen from the stars and landed in the gutter—and it could have ramifications for the singer's home life.

Rodale, publisher of the South Beach Diet books and magazines such as Men's Health, Prevention, and Runner's World, is looking for a war chest for an expansion, and industry sources say it has retained JPMorgan to help it explore its strategic options.

Normally, that implies the entire company may be put on the block, but our source said the closely held family-owned Rodale is not there yet.

Instead, the company is telling people they are more interested in "strategic partners" who can provide the debt-free company with an infusion of cash needed to expand.

Cover Girl & Bumping Up

In August, Jennifer Lopez landed the cover of Glamour, but come September, her face will be attached to 16 different Conde Nast titles. The actress is the cover girl for Fashion Rocks, the outsert that will be attached to Glamour, Vogue, W, Allure, Self, Teen Vogue, GQ, Details, Men's Vogue, Architectural Digest, Lucky, Domino, Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, Wired and The New Yorker. The magazine promises "models on nearly every page" and articles on artists such as Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood and Sean Lennon. A spokeswoman said ad pages will range from 75 to 100 in each issue, which is 15 percent more than last year. All will be revealed on Friday, when magazines start hitting subscribers' mailboxes

BUMPING UP: Marie Claire editor in chief Joanna Coles has replaced outgoing senior fashion editor Eric Nicholson by promoting fashion editor Zanna Roberts. Roberts joined the magazine in October, but before that served for seven years at the title's British edition, most recently as beauty and style editor. She also was responsible for tapping Helena Christensen to shoot photographs of supermodels which appeared in a photo feature in the August issue, and at the charity event Marie Claire held last week at Milk Gallery in New York. Apparently Coles, a British transplant, appreciates those with similar roots — in May, Coles hired Suzanne Sykes as creative director to replace Paul Martinez. Sykes most recently served as art director for Britain's weekly Grazia, and helped launch the British edition of Marie Claire.
