Britney Spears is very close to releasing her new album "Blackout" so leaks are getting more prevalent. Frankly the cover art doesn't look that great to me.

Here in this first look, the fedora-sporting pop star, 25, is shown in long brunette tresses and gazing directly at the camera. The release of the real album art comes after a series of fake covers were leaked on the Internet. The album will be released on Oct. 30, her label, Jive, announced Wednesday. The original date of Nov. 13 was moved up because of " numerous unauthorized online leaks," the company said in a release.

Not exactly an action shot. She's just sort of standing there like "Duh, I'm Britney." I guess they went for realism over the glamor this time. At least they've chucked her "Whores'R'Us" uniform from the VMAs.
