Not to defend Britney Spears or anything, but I just saw a couple of disturbing statistics in Time about coverage of her in by the somewhat new OK! Magazine:

1) OK! has put her on the cover 54 times in 103 issues since Jan 06
2) OK! has a team of ten people in LA to devoted to coverage of her

Not to only pick on OK!, though. US Weekly put Spears on nearly 2/3 of their covers last year, including EACH of the last 14.

Yeah, and we wonder why she's bonkers ...
