In the post Spears had referred a controversial photoshoot of Kevin Federline, with whom was she was married to from 2004 to 2007, and shares two sons, Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16.

Back in 2007, Steven Klein took a picture of Spears’ ex-husband with his throat slashed notched up a few column inches. The controversial portrait was a part of the Face of Fashion exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Earlier in 2001, the photographer has also taken a similarly bloody image of another one of Hold Me Closer hitmaker’s exes, Justin Timberlake.

As for her nod to the Fight Club actor, Spears is a known admirer of the actor. Back in 2005, the singer had met him once at the Teen Choice Awards

“The most star-struck I was with was probably Brad Pitt. I saw him probably 10 years ago at the Teen Choice Awards,” she recounted in an interview. “He had really long hair. I completely died. I ran. I was dressed in high heels [and I ran] towards him.”
