Although personally, I think they should have screwed her the same way she screwed them, Allure Magazine chose to pretty up and publish the photos from Britney Spears’ disastrous photoshoot.

The shots will run in the magazine’s September issue without an accompanying interview: Britney was reportedly erratic and unfocused during the photoshoot, before bolting from the studio without conducting the interview she promised. Despite this, the magazine’s editor, Linda Wells, still kissed Brit’s nasty ass.

“Britney showed up for Allure’s cover shoot on time and ready to work,” she writes in the September issue.

Wells writes that the pop star did display some odd behavior at the shoot. “She was entirely unselfconscious: She took off her wig and then stripped down to the waist, for no apparent reason, before sitting for hair and makeup.”

Wells describes Spears as “agreeable and cooperative” during the shoot.

Spears wore a “shoulder-length brown wig over her own closely cropped blonde hair,” as well as a Cartier bracelet and her own Dolce & Gabbana jeans.

But that’s where the good news ends. As it turns out, Spears never sat for her promised interview with the magazine.

“She missed four appointments for an interview with Allure,” Wells writes. The cover story then turned into a first-person essay from the interviewer, Judith Newman, detailing her frustrations with Spears’s invariable cancellations and delays.

Ugh.

According to Us Weekly, James Blunt is sporting a major boner for Mischa Barton. Ew and ew.

James Blunt, 33, was “constantly hovering” around Mischa Barton, 21, at an Estate event August 11 in Sag Harbor, New York, a witness tells Us Weekly.

“He’s obsessed with her and has been trying to get with her for a while,” adds another source.

Surprisingly, Mischa managed to resist Blunt’s charm: one of her homegirls claimed she “just wants to be friends.” Oh snap.

David Beckham scored his first goal for the LA Galaxy last night during a home game in Carson, CA. The goal secured his team’s place in the SuperLiga finals.

It was the first time David had been included in the starting line-up since the Beckhams much-hyped move to America. He had played just 37 minutes in two previous games since he joined the Major League Soccer team on July 13 because of a nagging left ankle injury.

He had even missed two games prompting boos from fans hoping to see the former England captain and world’s most famous footballer actually play.

The 32-year-old England midfielder, who was named captain for the match, curled home a trademark free-kick after 28 minutes to give the Galaxy the lead.

Cue wild celebrations with Beckham mobbed by team-mates including goalkeeper Joe Cannon, who ran across more than half the pitch to hug him. Blue, gold and white confetti fluttered through the air, as Beckham waved to the crowd in acknowledgement.

Beck’s oldest son, Brooklyn, went wild in the stands after his dad’s goal, while wifey Victoria clapped politely.

Joel Madden claimed on “Live with Regis and Kelly” this morning that he has a gift for his baby-mama, Nicole Richie. Joel sheepishly admitted he has a “little ring” for Nicole, whatever that means.

Appearing with his band, Good Charlotte, on ABC’s Live! with Regis and Kelly, the musician, 28, was pressed about his personal life and Richie, who is 4 1/2 months pregnant with the couple’s child.

“You’re going to present her, maybe, with… did I hear the right thing, or should I not even talk about this?” said Philbin.

“Uh, what?” deadpanned Madden.

“A little ring, or something,” said Philbin.

“I was hoping it would be a surprise, but now…” answered Madden.

Madden’s reaction quickly forced Philbin spin on his heel and ask the frontman’s identical twin (and the band’s lead guitarist), Benji, whom he was dating.

But the cat was out of the bag.

Gosh, Nicole has so much going on at the moment: an engagement to a cheesy musician, a baby, and an upcoming jail sentence. Homgirl really knows how to multi-task.

Britney Spears bagged a new friend: ultra-cheesy magician Criss Angel. Witnesses spotted Criss escorting Britney to the Tower Beverly Hills Hotel last night, where they held hands (ew, ew, ew!) and took the elevator to a suite on the 11th floor.

The best part of the story? According to an X-17 photographer, Britney’s bodyguard left the hotel shortly after they arrived and headed to 7-11, where he reportedly bought a box of condoms. Classy!

It’s so Photoshopped, it almost looks like a painting.
