Britney Spears Blackout Cover: Real Or Fake?

First it was the alleged album tracks - and now artwork purporting to be the official cover of Britney Spears' new album, Blackout, has leaked onto the web. 

The photo – which looks like it was knocked up in five minutes on Photoshop – is a black-and-white head-shot of the pop mess which appears to have been taken sometime in the late 90s.

The uploading of new tracks onto the web has caused Jive Records to move forward the album’s release date from November 13 to October 30.

The final track-listing will be known on Monday when Jive has scheduled listening sessions for press.

Check out the ‘cover’ below and tells us: Real or Fake?
