NEW YORK (AP) – Britney Spears says the veil has been lifted on her honeymoon, and she’s not happy.

Photos of Spears and her new husband, Kevin Federline, are on the cover of Us Weekly magazine under the headline: “Britney’s Private Album!” Other pictures of the couple’s October honeymoon in the Fiji islands are displayed on five pages inside the magazine, on newsstands Friday.

Spears quickly issued a statement condemning the use of the photographs, which show the happy couple relaxing and enjoying breakfast on the beach.

“Kevin and I chose a resort location where we were promised absolute privacy and seclusion,” the 23-year-old pop star said. “Unfortunately, staff members took photographs of us, which we allowed them to take once we were assured they were being taken only for private use in a scrap book they gave us as a souvenir.”

“Other magazines, including Star, contacted us when presented with these photographs and refused to publish them,” said Spears. “Kevin and I thank those other magazines for respecting our rights of privacy.”

Us Weekly, however, wasn’t backing down.

In a statement Thursday to The Associated Press, the magazine said: “Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it’s unlikely the issue here is privacy. Could it be that Britney is seeing red after not seeing the green from these photos? Britney Spears should start a magazine if she’d like to dictate her own coverage.”
