September 11, 2006 Japan accepts nude pregnant Britney By Gulliver
Tokyo's subway has allowed a publisher to put up on public
display posters of a nude and heavily pregnant Britney Spears.
This effectively oveturned a decision to cover up part of
the image for being "too stimulating" for young
people.
The picture of the American pop singer nude but covering
her breasts with her hands and crossing her legs at the
knee appeared in the August issue of Harper's Bazaar in
the United States. It will feature on the cover of the magazine
Japanese edition for October.
A black swan dumped by her lover has been reunited
with her old flame - a giant pedal boat in the shape of a white swan she
had been pining for all winter.
Petra made headlines all around the world in 2006 when she grew so fond
of the plastic boat she could not bear to be parted from it.
The romance between the odd couple blossomed after German zoo officials
in the town of Muenster released Petra on a local lake next to the boat.
She became so besotted with her pedal boat love that she refused to leave
its side, even refusing to mingle with the other swans.
