According to USMA, magazines in the US can now publish only four pictures of the singer in a month, and none of them can be featured on the cover.

The president of USMA, Dan Hoogem, said they had taken this step after receiving calls and emails from readers and consumers, who complained about the excessive amount of Britney's pictures they see everywhere.

However, the limit has not been welcomed by all. Jessica Fortuna, head of the Society to Leave Britney Alone, called the decision "total bullshit".
