Pop princess Britney Spears, dressed in a French maid costume, showing a length of leg and a lacy garter, serving her husband a bottle of Jack Daniels and then sitting in his lap... That's how a sexy photo shoot for Interview magazine looks like.

The photos, taken by Michelle Kole, also futures brunette Britney playing with her hair as Federline serves her a poolside cocktail, dressed as a slick butler in a tuxedo and white gloves.

Britney said: "I wanted me and Kevin to do some kind of character pieces, with a fun essence that didn't really take things too seriously... I think we both have the sense of wanting to serve the other person."

She added: "Instead of trying to deny what the public says or what they think our persons are, we make fun of it.

Britney admits she agreed with the characters they played because she wanted to poke fun at the publics perception of the couple.

"I've worked this way with my videos and photo shoots, but I've never done a whole out-there concept that is not attached to a movie or an album."
