Britney Spears is to be replaced by a body double for a nude magazine shoot as she is too "out of shape".The 26-year-old 'Gimme More' singer is baring all in a recreation of an iconic Marilyn Monroe photograph, but Blender magazine reportedly plan to swap her body with a more "in shape" model.An advert placed in the magazine reads: "We are casting for a Britney Spears body double. You must have shoulder to medium length blonde hair. This person must also be in shape! 5'2" to 5'5". This will be a take off of a Bert Stern photograph of Marilyn Monroe in bed, from the last shoot before her death. Your face will not be shown in the final photograph/cover." The model must be aged 18 to 25 and will be paid $500 to pose either on December 14 or the 17.Meanwhile, Britney has posed for a family portrait with sons Sean Preston, two, and 14-month-old Jayden James, but the photographer has reportedly sold the pictures to the press.The singer posed in private for the personal photographs - believed to be used for her Christmas cards - but photographer Dani Brubaker sent out a press release bragging about the photo shoot.A source told MSNBC: "She's just another person in a long line of people trying to profit from Britney Spears.
