And the winner of the Britney Spears baby photo race is .. OK!

As we told you on Wednesday, Richard Desmond's attempt at an American tabloid takeover reportedly offered $2 million to Brit and K-Fed for snaps of newborn Preston. Now the mag is saying they've secured rights.

Well, that's what Desmond told Access Hollywood and, ever the investigative journalists, they sent reporter Tim Vincent to quiz OK! editor Sarah Ivens. Hoping to lure her into talking, he told her of his chat with Desmond, to which she replied:

"Has he? He's a rascal," she smiled. "Well, Richard's my boss so he can say that if he wants to."

Sure he can. Unless, you know, he hasn't secured the rights.
