Britney Spears stars in secret Annie Leibovitz shoot

[HMG] – With both their careers having recently been swirling a self-inflicted and well-deserved drain, Britney Spears and Annie Leibovitz are now working as one.

The 60-year old lens guru, who nearly lost her entire life’s work through horrendous investments, has landed her first paid engagement since avoiding that cliff — Shooting Britney’s new ‘Candie’s for Kohl’s’ clothing campaign.

Famous for her peculiar demands for a session [She snapped Whoopi Goldberg, naked in bath full of milk and stood Sting in the desert, covered with mud so he could barely be seen,] Hollywood Life says Annie had Britney pose in various stages of undress, supported by a soundtrack that included Madonna, Prince and even the late Michael Jackson.

Britney’s manager and dad, Jamie was on hand the whole time during the low-key session, which happened on Thursday at the Paramount lot in L.A. Also there was Brit’s agent and boyfriend, Jason Trawick who was said to be subdued but clearly concerned as Brit got down to work with the fame-molding legend.

This is Annie’s first real gig since her legal issues relented — Last Summer she was facing bankruptcy and a mountain of bills, plus a $24-million lawsuit from her financiers, the Art Capital Group. But Annie reworked the terms of the deal that would have given ACG the rights to all of her works and their lawsuit was dropped in December.

You can be sure this is not the end of this tale. When more news arrives, we’ll update you…
