Don't be silly. Why would TS buy herself a cover out of all magazines a Maxim one? Maxim are trying to re-brand, so they went with the biggest pop star at the moment. And TS has a lot classier image than Rihanna or Miley have. They want to have a different audience than simply being a men's magazine. Girls who never even thought about buying a Maxim magazine are now going to buy this one. She didn't even have a photoshoot with Maxim, they took photos from her shoot for Wonderland magazine.
