Update February 5, 2008. LALATE now has the new Rolling Stone Cover. Click here to see the new cover!

Word today that Britney Spears will appear on a magazine … about music, not child custody. lalate can tell you that the popstar will be on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The Daily Mail is reporting that it will be Spears’ first Rolling Stone cover since her last appearance at age 17 when she appeared in bra and hotpants holding a Teletubby toy.

However, lalate has found another believed RS cover besides that one for you!

Similarly, word today that her single for Piece of Me (pictured above) is expected to premiere very strong in the UK market, reports the Daily Mail, in the number 2 position.

But it’s not all good news for Spears. The Daily Mail is reporting that Spears orchestrated a massive diversion of planes and bookings this week in jetting to Mexico. And according to the Daily Mail, it was not loose reporters trying to cover the butting romance of her and Adnan Ghalib; rather she was escaping an attempt by her parents to put her into rehab, says the mag.

The Daily Mail reports: “And it’s believed she is trying to escape her parents’ attempts to force her into rehab. … Spears, 26, went to extreme measures to make sure nobody knew where they were while in Mexico. …. She leaked word that she was flying to New York, Hawaii, Las Vegas and Barbados and hired at least two private jets, teams of security and numerous limos to create the elaborate diversion.”

Ironically, when the whole thing was done, the photo agency that knew where she was and had her pictures was Adnan Ghalib’s agency, snapping up pictures of the two exclusively. Do you smell something wrong?

lalate will be the first to get you the new Rolling Stone cover pictures. Check back.
