Adnan Ghalib is a sleazy disgusting horrible human being if this recent Star report is to be believed where he's bragging to friends that he's gotten Britney pregnant
"Only weeks after Britney Spears drove to Rosarita Beach, Mexico to exchange marriage vows with Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo is bragging to friends that she is going to have his baby, Star has learned exclusively.
And what do you know! The fallen pop princess’ belly is starting to show a little bulge, in spite of hours of classes at the Millennium Dance Complex.
“Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life,” one friend of Adnan’s tells Star.
after reading that Rolling Stones profile on the American Tragedy of Britney Spears I actually thought for a brief momenthe might have Britney's best interest at heart but it appears that he's actually like all the rest just a bloodsucker. Though I will be honest and admit I was about to call him much worse in what I thought was another example of horrible hypocrisy until i saw the full video and it's only regular hypocrisy
though asking if she's a good kisser is so sleazy and was over the line. Plus didn't you know Adnan only kisses and tells in print. asshole. Sphere: Related Content
Britney Spears- My Prerogative When this song came out didn’t it just seem fierce and spunky and Woo, rebellious in a finally grown up way Now reading the lyrics (that I know were written for Bobby Brown in the 80s but) and hearing that rebellion in her voice when she sings them well in hindsight I’m hearing alarm bells and seeing warning signs. It's like the song was written for a star who was about to ride "I do what I want" off the rails...like Britney. This might be the most “Oooh…yeah…sigh” song in retrospect since Kurt Cobain wrote I Hate Myself and Want To Die (or the Presidents of the United States did We’re Not Going to Make It-who needs irony?)
People can take everything away from you But they can never take away your truth But the question is.. Can you handle mine?
They say I'm crazy I really don't care That's my prerogative They say I'm nasty But I don't give a damn Getting boys is how I live Some ask me questions Why am I so real? But they don't understand me I really don't know the deal about my sister Trying hard to make it right Not long ago Before I won this fight
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative that's my prerogative
(it's my prerogative) It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) You can’t tell me what to do
Don't get me wrong I'm really not souped Ego trips is not my thing Fuck all these strange relationships, It really gets me down I see nothing wrong, spread myself around
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative That’s my prerogative
It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative) You can’t tell me what to do
why can't I live my life without all of the things That people say oh oh
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me Why don't they just let me live? I don't need permission, make my own decisions That's my prerogative (they say I’m crazy)
(it's my prerogative)
Oh sweetie, now you can’t make your own decisions. Sad and you thought they called you crazy then…
Alternately titled Paris Hilton is the new Mona Lisa; I can’t grasp completely what’s behind her smile- she’s like a sphinx!
Irony may not be dead but some people just don’t get it A lot of people read this picture with the caption (from Faded Youth) "actress Paris Hilton attends a screening of The Hottie & The Nottie at The Brenden Theatres in The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on Sunday" as being a sign of her obliviousness and also her abject failure but to me that smirk on her face, as enigmatic as it is, makes it seem like she knows what you’re thinking, that your looking at this as her at an empty screening that she gets that no one saw her film and has staged this photo in this setting as a sign of total awareness. I mean the concession stand cups in the row behind her and her position in the image makes it seem like it’s totally be set exactly like a director or artist would want it to be.
Or maybe I just don’t get it and she’s that clueless
And just a quick question kinda sorta related: Is every female celebrity in Hollywood either pregnant, in rehab or Britney right now? Because it sure seems that way
Usually I couldn’t care less about whichever incubus* Britney has attached to her, this month being Adnan Ghalib but the..what’s the word oh yeah BLATANT HYPOCRISY in this story was just too much
as Radar put it "Suddenly, Adnan Ghalib's above the paparazzi horde that made him." Really?! Surely you guys can find a better way to make your money"says the ex-paparrazzo who oh so recently was doing THE EXACT SAME THING
Maybe this is the way to get paparazzi to go away- if you start constantly filming their every move, but Adnan you’re not a public figure you’re a leech and you should know the parasitic rules of the game better than anyone I’m just glad that if the 8th plague has to descend on someone they descended on you (and yes this may be the first and only time I’ll be on the side of the paparazzi, or at least the ones who know their place
*in a way it’s true- whatever Britney is going through she’s not awake and these assholes all seem to be draining her and taking everything
Britney Spears makes music too. Strange, I’d almost forgotten. Here’s Get Naked( I Got a Plan) which is always a great plan for a Friday night and... I think this song may have found a place on my personal amateur stripper mix. Yeah Sounds nice Ooh, yeah

Yeah, it's not much for lyrics but...this song really doesn't need words. And since there’s no official or live video (Britney’s been too busy, y’know downward spiraling) here’s the most viewed one on Youtube for Britney's "Get Naked (I Got A Plan)"
Britney Spears- Get Naked (I Got a Plan) [download]
now that Britney is out and on her own Here is something that I’m not even sure how I came across it but it’s "(Fragments from) Death Comes For Britney Spears! The Musical" I thought it was interesting if not all that amusing but if you think it’s “too much” this is from the creator:
The premise is that I'm bored at my job and my thoughts turn to gossip, and then Death comes for Britney Spears. Many people have criticized me for piling on Britney, and I guess I'd have to plead guilty, but with mitigating factors. First of all, I wrote the piece before she actually entered a mental hospital. Second of all, even if the piece is meant to make light of her almost cartoonish downward spiral, it's also intended to make the whole celebrity cycle look ridiculous, even the part of the cycle that includes writers and satirists.
Death Comes for Britney Spears! The Musical (Slight Return)
(DEATH is bored. He calls his friend BILL.)
BILL
Hey, you. What say you?
DEATH
It's not a good day. Really, Bill. Sure, I have the Time to kill, But I fear that I don't have the will.
I go about my business Every morning, noon, and night. Most doomed souls go easily; Some put up a fight.
But, honestly, it's boring me. I don't know what to say. The last pickup that I enjoyed Was probably that Martha Raye.
BILL
Dude, you know what? You should totally get Someone who isn't ready quite yet.
DEATH
It's not allowed. The fines would be large.
BILL
Fines? Wait a second— Aren't you in charge?
DEATH
In a sense, but it's complex. The afterlife has many checks And balances. I can't just slay Whoever springs to mind today. I mean, well, yeah, I guess I could, But I'm not sure it would be good.
BILL
That's the very point I'm making. You need to stop your bellyaching. You're not the flu. You're not the sprain. You're Death, so rule your domain.
Now I have to hang up the phone. My wife went out and I'm alone. It's one of those rare just-Bill nights: Just Bill and 50 porn websites.
(DEATH laughs at his friend, betraying a trace of envy.)
DEATH
Bill is a genius, Although he's a rake, But who will I go for? Who will I take?
I'm calling Bill back ... Damn, he turned off his phone. I don't really feel like Going out there alone.
(DEATH calls some other friends to see if anyone wants to go collect a few souls with him. Most are busy or invent an elaborate excuse to avoid the errand. Finally, DEATH calls LITTLE RICHARD.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Whoooo-eeee!!! Who's calling me?
DEATH
It's Death, But don't worry. This isn't business. It's just that, well, I feel depressed And I'd love to have you As my guest On a little trip across the earth To find some souls and reverse their birth.
(LITTLE RICHARD is enthusiastic about the idea.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Whooo-hoooooo!!! Where should I meet you?
DEATH
It doesn't really matter. We'll Be traveling by astral plane. So how about the Platter Kill? I've always loved the name.
(LITTLE RICHARD and DEATH meet by the Platter Kill, a stream in upstate New York. DEATH is wearing his trademark black robe. LITTLE RICHARD is wearing a yellow-and-red jacket with rhinestones.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Eeeee-aaaaaaaaaa!!! Good to see ya.
DEATH
Good to see you, too, my friend. So tell me: whose life should we end?
LITTLE RICHARD
I've got an idea.
DEATH
I'm all ears.
LITTLE RICHARD
Let's go get that Britney Spears.
DEATH
That's an interesting notion. It would cause a great commotion. And her music's not so vital, if you know what I mean. But she's still in her youth, And, to tell you the truth, I had sort of been thinking of killing Tom Green.
LITTLE RICHARD
The girl can't help it. She was born to sleaze. You'll see her, here and there, Down on bended knees. Can she at least contract Some foul disease?
(They agree to flip a coin. LITTLE RICHARD produces a coin, which is a quarter with a picture of himself on one side. The other side has a picture of his butt.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Snakes and snails And hog-slop pails And whips and wails: I call tails!!!
(It is tails. In Canada, in the middle of filming a scene where he French-kisses a cow, TOM GREEN feels an unspeakable cold shudder through him.)
TOM GREEN
You know what's strange? I was briefly changed. A cloud crossed my heart And gave me a start, But I'm all better now. Please bring back that cow.
(DEATH and LITTLE RICHARD arrive in BRITNEY SPEARS's living room. It is disorganized. Magazines are everywhere, along with lingerie and empty pizza boxes.)
DEATH
It's hard to find her Amid this debris. She's probably still sleeping; It's not even 3.
(BRITNEY SPEARS stumbles out of the bedroom. She has slept in sunglasses.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
I'm really sorry I slept so late. Did I miss another court date?
LITTLE RICHARD
Girl, listen, I'm sure you did, But that's not why we're here. You were once so young and pretty; Now you look like you drank a whole keg of beer.
BRITNEY SPEARS
Don't make rude sport Of my rise and fall. I'm not a bad sort, Not at all, y'all—
(DEATH interrupts.)
DEATH
Do you truly wish to understand Why we've come unannounced and unplanned?
BRITNEY SPEARS
Yes, I guess.
DEATH
In a minute I'll take off my hood And you'll behold my flaming skull, And terror will consume your mind, And all your senses will go dull. An icy finger on your brow Will extract you from the here and now.
BRITNEY SPEARS
I'm sorry, y'all, but I don't know Greek. Is that the language you're trying to speak?
DEATH
Your mortal essence will lie coiled At your feet just like that snake You danced with at the VMAs, And I don't mean Justin Timberlake. You'll sleep, but you will not awake.
BRITNEY SPEARS
I swear, I don't know what y'all are saying. Is this some trick that Kevin's playing?
LITTLE RICHARD
Bama lama bama loo. Honestly, what can we do So that you understand this visit? It's not that complicated, is it? A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom. We are here to seal your doom!
BRITNEY SPEARS
I'm dying now? What? Why? And how?
(DEATH fidgets.)
DEATH
Well, it's not like I was bored And needed something to do And looked around the world And randomly picked you.
(DEATH removes his hood. He has, as promised, a flaming skull. He steps forward and touches BRITNEY SPEARS on the breast.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Hey! Uh, wait— You said my head.
DEATH
Oh yeah. Right. OK. You're dead.
(BRITNEY swoons. Everything around her dissolves. She begins to sing with the voice of an angel.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Once I was a kind of modern Cinderella And then I beat the crap out of a car with an umbrella. Oh, it's all coming back to me now in a blur: I worshipped Madonna and made out with her. I lived a life of adventure and fun. I drank! I smoked! I hit-and-run! I shaved my head! I shaved my vagina! I acted as dumb as Miss South Carolina! Please take care of my mom and my kids. I am kneeling and praying and closing my lids. Goodbye, Sean Preston. Goodbye, Jayden James. Hey—not bad—I remembered their names. My journey from childhood to B-cup to prenup Is over. I'm done. I surrender. I give up. I'm lying down flat on the floor of the room So you can convey me to my timeless tomb.
(DEATH bends down to pick up BRITNEY SPEARS but notices that she is not wearing underwear.)
DEATH
Problem.
LITTLE RICHARD
What?
DEATH
I would take her, but ...
(LITTLE RICHARD peers downward. He notices the absence of underwear, too.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Oooo-aaaaa-eeeeee!!! Do you mean to say That you can't lift her And take her away If she isn't wearing drawers?
DEATH
Sadly, yes. Can she wear yours?
LITTLE RICHARD
Aaaaa-iiiiii-ooooooo!!! Upon further review, I'm sorry to say I'm commando, too.
(BRITNEY SPEARS stirs, wakes.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
I must have left the world behind. This place I'm in, it must be heaven. I was born back in the '80s And died here in two thousand seven. Be strong, my fans—be good, be brave, Bring cans of Red Bull to my grave.
(BRITNEY SPEARS stands shakily and tries to float away.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Jenny jenny, wooo, jenny jenny. When it comes to brains you ain't got any. Hep-bop-a-dee-dee-dee-dee-wa-bop-bop. The extraction came to a full stop.
(DEATH explains the situation to BRITNEY SPEARS more respectfully.)
DEATH
I thought you'd be taken, I thought we'd be going, But we ran into trouble: Your privates were showing.
(BRITNEY SPEARS is elated.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
I'm saved, I'm saved! I feel so strange. I'll learn to behave. I promise I'll change.
LITTLE RICHARD
Bad-luck baby put the jinx on me. I think it's time for us to flee.
(DEATH and LITTLE RICHARD jog off, then remember they can dematerialize, and do. BRITNEY stays on the floor in a trance, contemplating her brush with death. Slowly, she begins to absorb the news, and to develop the ability to think about the world around her.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Baseball is my favorite sport, And so George Mitchell's bleak report Has thrust everything into question And thus disrupted my digestion.
Across the world in Pakistan The president's a helpless man. His nation lacks maturity And adequate security.
(BRITNEY SPEARS studies geopolitics and philosophy. She inches closer to enlightenment. Then, on December 18, her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, announces that she is pregnant. This upsets DEATH.)
DEATH
Crap, a child's getting born. I have to say that I am torn. Babies certainly are cute, But they interfere with my pursuit Of lifelessness upon the earth, And so I must lament this birth.
(The news also upsets BRITNEY SPEARS. She abruptly stops studying the world and studies margaritas instead. She drinks all the way through to New Year's Eve, when she hatches a plan.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Two thousand seven, what a year it has been. Some guy got his nut off inside Jamie Lynn. Now my little sister is the gotten-with-child one, The grabber of headlines, the she's-running-wild one. Remember way back when I was not sick? I rocked the mike on "Crazy" and "Toxic." I had a kind of expertise. Who knew those songs were prophesies? But if I want to stay internationally famous, It's no longer enough to be an ignoramus. I think that I need to be working toward My ultimate rest and my final reward. If I'm not in the public eye, I might as well just up and die.
(BRITNEY decides to call DEATH but accidentally calls LITTLE RICHARD.)
LITTLE RICHARD
Hee-ee-yaaa-aaaa-wa-na-ooney! You dialed wrong, you freakin' loony!
(BRITNEY SPEARS redials, asks DEATH to remove her from the earth. DEATH refuses.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Oh please, oh please—I planned it out: See, Kevin will show up and I'll start to shout. I'll wolf down pills and schnapps and gin. The paramedics will strap me in. (I'll make up steps for a new dance While I am in the ambulance.) Then I'll get me a boyfriend, a paparazzi. We'll light off quick for Mexico. I'll be a pop-star kamikaze, Nosediving wildly wherever I go. He'll buy me cocaine to consume. We'll have sex in a dressing room. And, though it is unjust of me, I'll ruin my chance at custody. I have a goal. I will achieve it. You know the earth? I'd like to leave it.
(DEATH refuses again.)
BRITNEY SPEARS
Come on, dude, why the rebuff? I'll give you a lap dance and hand job and stuff.
(She starts to gyrate arhythmically. DEATH isn't aroused.)
DEATH
This may be the wrong reaction, But I won't give you the satisfaction.
(Irritated by BRITNEY SPEARS's manner, by her sister's pregnancy, and even by LITTLE RICHARD's relentless boisterousness, DEATH decides to kill a number of others, including Suzanne Pleshette, Brad Renfro, and DEATH's close friend BILL. BILL's wife comes home to find him slumped in front of the computer, which is displaying a porn site. At BILL's funeral, she makes a speech about how BILL was the man of her dreams, and how she hoped to have a family with him, and how those imagined children would now never have the opportunity to have him as a father. She then sits in her car and plays BRITNEY SPEARS's new album, Blackout, at top volume. It helps, a little, for a little while.)
and speaking of Super Bowl commercials that probably should've been rejected, aboiut that “racist” offensive panda ad (not really sure what the company is) is it just me or did the male panda sound like Kahn from King of the Hill? Here’s the Salesgenie ad
and here’s the King of the Hill Episode “Minh Who Knew Too Much” where “Kahn and Minh finally decide to ditch their hillbilly neighbors after Dale runs into their rose bushes.”
Maybe we've finally reached a turning point with our beloved Ms. Spears
via TMZ Several health care professionals tell us Britney has fallen into a "manic state" due to her bipolar disorder. We're also told she arrived at the hospital this morning at around 2:15 AM, but wasn't admitted until 4:15 AM because she was causing such a scene in the hospital.
We first reported that Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend. Now we have more. We're told Britney screamed, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!" Britney never said exactly who she was talking about.
Sources at UCLA Medical Center tell TMZ Britney Spears has been classified as "G.D." -- Gravely Disabled. That is a huge and dangerous deal. That means the patient is unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter. Being G.D. is one of the criteria for involuntary commitment.
I've been saying this for a while. It may seem cruel in the short term but she definitely fits the criteria:
Involuntary Commitment takes place when a person is ordered to be admitted to a hospital or treatment facility in order to prevent harm to that individual or others. The purpose of involuntary commitment is to help a person receive necessary and appropriate mental health and/or substance abuse treatment. In order to be hospitalized against an individual's wishes, the person must be mentally ill or under the influence of drugs or alcohol and dangerous to self or others. A person may act very strangely. displaying abnormal behavior but not be committable. An individual is considered dangerous to self if the person exhibits the following behaviors:
is unable to exercise self-control. judgment and discretion in conducting responsibilities of daily life without care/supervision. or
is unable to satisfy need for nourishment. personal care, medical care. shelter. protection and safety and there is a "reasonable probability" of serious physical debilitation unless adequate treatment is given, or
has attempted or threatened suicide and there is "reasonable probability" of suicide unless treatment is given. or
has mutilated or attempted to mutilate self and there is "reasonable probability" that the person will seriously mutilate self again unless treatment is given.
(* Note: Previous episodes of dangerousness to self may be considered when determining reasonable probability of physical debilitation. suicide or self mutilation.)
An individual is considered dangerous to others if the person has:
a) within the relatively recent past inflicted, attempted to inflict or threatened to inflict severe bodily harm to another person, or
b) acted in such a way as to create a "substantial risk" of serious bodily harm to another person or has engaged in extreme destruction of property and there is "reasonable probability" that the person will repeat this conduct.
and obviously is not getting the help she needs right now on her own, unless crystal meth is some new psychiatric wonder drug, and if left to her own devices she'll keep on down the spiral and we've all seen where such spirals lead
everything's blue in this world the deepest shade of mushroom blue
Has not achieved psychic stability in the past month From the LA Times
Los Angeles Police officers physically removed pop star Britney Spears from her home early today, placing the troubled celebrity on a "mental health evaluation hold," authorites said.
More than a dozen motorcycle officers and a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance swept through the front gates of Spears' hilltop Studio City residence shortly before 1 a.m., as a police helicopter hovered overhead. At 1:08 a.m., officers inside the home radioed to commanders that "the package is on the way out."
Spears was rushed from a side entrance of her home into an ambulance. As she was driven down Coldwater Canyon Boulevard, her vehicle was escorted by more than a dozen motorcycle officers, two cruisers and two police helicopters. Her final destination was the UCLA Medical Center, authorities said.
This is the second time in a month that Spears has been placed on a 72-hour welfare hold. The first occurred on Jan. 3, when Spears declined to give up custody of her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
The Summit, the winding street on which Spears lives in Studio City, was jammed with the vehicles of journalists and photographers for several hours prior to the police operation.
Authorities said the welfare hold was prompted by a telephone call they received from Spears' psychiatrist. It was unclear exactly when they had received the call, but it was apparent that the operation had been carefully planned over a period of time. Unlike the first welfare hold — in which Spears' ambulance was closely pursued by a throng of photographers — vehicles today were blocked from following the same route. The motorcade that whisked Spears to the hospital also showed a large investment in resources. The line of emergency vehicles stretched longer than a football field.
(Really must suck to be one of her neighbors.) Good to know our resources are being used well and appropriately and where they are so desperately needed
Last night, Britney's new psychiatrist went to her home and felt she was a danger to herself and others -- partly because of her reckless driving and partly because of her "downhill behavior." As a result, the shrink launched a plan (days in the making) to have Britney committed to UCLA Medical Center by calling the cops.
Sources tell us the cops knew it was coming. In fact, the plan was for cops and paramedics to take Britney away the night before, but it was scrubbed. Last night, it all went down according to plan. Cops even used code to minimize craziness in transporting Britney to the hospital. Over the police radio, she was referred to as "The Package."
Before the cops arrived, the shrink told her she was going back to the hospital and she offered no resistance. She said, "Is something wrong?" She made hot chocolate and waited. Her mom, Lynne, got extremely agitated, accusing Sam of engineering the impending commitment. We're told Brit told her to "shut the hell up." She demanded silence, sat on the floor and wrote notes to people who were there as they waited. When emergency personnel arrived, Brit went on the gurney without resistance.
When everyone arrived at UCLA, things got heated. Jamie Spears began screaming at Sam Lutfi, accusing him of trying to control Britney. We're told as far as the doctors are concerned -- at least for now -- Lynne and Jamie Spears are not calling the shots. The point guy for the docs is Brit's friend, Sam Lutfi.
Sources say after Britney's commitment earlier this month, she was extremely upset at her dad for getting angry at Sam and the hospital staff. Britney had lawyers draft several documents, however, we're told she did not sign a durable power of attorney giving Lutfi the power to make medical decisions on her behalf. Nevertheless, something was signed and doctors are going to Lutfi for guidance. Jamie went off on Lutfi in the hallway, accusing him of trying to control his daughter.
Britney has been calm in the hospital, even getting a "cigarette break."
an L.A. County Superior Court judge has just signed a "5150," meaning Britney Spears is on a three-day psychiatric hold at the UCLA Medical Center.
We're told there is a "good possibility" that it will be extended to 14 days. We've also learned there have been several parallel attempts to get Britney on a 5150. Her lawyers, Anne Kiley and Tara Scott, secured a new psychiatrist late last week -- he's the one who triggered the 5150 last night.
TMZ has learned Britney's parents have won round one in the tug of war with Sam Lutfi. We're told the doctors at UCLA are now "fully cooperating" with the parents in the treatment of Britney Spears,
Oh that's good because y'know they haven't had every opportunity over the past 26 years to help their daughter.
But really someone just take her to Lakehead Hospital or something, lock her up, keep here there, far from everything for a year or so and help her get better. Who knows she could become the next Judy Garland instead of the latest (insert name of classic doomed starlet here)
That title may be cruel or morbid but unfortunately that’s how it seems all this will end. From HuffPo TMZ Reuters
“A hospital source tells Usmagazine.com that Spears has been designated a "special needs" patient, meaning "they have either overdosed or tried to commit suicide.”
I mean seriously it’s so far from funny*, amusing or even “celebrity odd” now. It’s just frightening. I don’t know who can do it, if she needs to actually be committed (or if a judge could order her to be committed) or something but someone needs to take her far far away for quite some time and help her understand and manage whatever is causing this. Just take her away and make her better. Because she is a danger to herself and whatever is surrounding her in her life right now is not helping. She is Little Miss Self Destruct and it is really sad. Poor,Poor Britney, she's a little girl lost...
*so far from it that I didn’t link to or make reference to how I can’t listen to Crazy anymore
Probably yes and no it's not what's his name. Anyway when I first read on Queerty that Britney (first, was getting married! where did that come from?) was rumored to be getting married to a friend, who apparently everyone believes is gay
In a tabloid report certain to need a hefty dose of salt, Star Magazine is reporting Britney Spears is planning to walk down the aisle with bad-boy pal Sam Lutfi. Some Hollywood gossip sites are slamming the report, not just for its typical lack of facts, but because rumor has it Lutfi is entirely gay and not likely to convert even for pop tart Spears and her millions. … GaySocialites.com claims “high profile gays in L.A. “confirm” Lutfi’s sexual orientation as decidedly queer and says Lutfi was so “embarrassed to be gay that he laid low for a long time until recently resurfacing as Britney Spears’ right hand man and manager.”
my first reaction was "Oh Britney! What are you doing now" but then as I thought more about it I think having a gay husband would be like the best thing for her. First he'd always have a strong connection to Britney's main base and so would be able to steer her in the direction of what gays like to dance to. Secondly no gay friend, or husband would let her shave her head or leave the house looking like she has been over the past year or so. Third, Britney is obviously over her kids and so by marrying a gay man this way there will be no "accidents" and new children for Brit to neglect. Fourth, a gay man as her husband would make sure she went to the gym before major comeback appearances performing on award shows. And finally he has to be cleaner than K-Fed
it really seems like she's trying to put a stranglehold on Time's Trainwreck of the Year and if this happens and is true (and even better if she gets divorced a week later) she's such a lock. I just wish he was cuter- I'm sure she could do better
I guess this is a decent enough time to break my self imposed ban on Britney Spears. And now that I guess TRL has premiered the video its been set loose on the internets. When I first heard that this video was actually being released I wrote to my friend that in order to avoid disappointment she should "set your expectations low. so low that even if it is her putting the song in a cd player, pushing play and is obviously lipsynching off rhythm while sitting on a stool with her hair in curlers and wearing a bathrobe with a Marlbor Red dangling from her lips you won't be disappointed" And so now that you know my expectations and without further whatevs here's Britney, bitch and Gimme More (please don't)
Yeah this video should convince a judge that she's a responsible parent, (well that and applying to be a bartender. wait, what?!.I remember when she danced, instead of the camera bouncing to give the illusion of movement beyond spinning and tossing hair (and we're beyond the chris crocker parodies aren't we? so hopefully there won't be apologists for this. speaking of which i think i am now having a chris crocker ban on this site until, as is customary, he does something extraordinary, like have srs) Sigh I miss old Britney, but I'm glad to see she's preparing for her new career on the stripper's pole.ugh But in other news its Zahara, bitch, with a one finger salute to the press
Every so often my brother brings his boyfriend's dogs over to my house so they can run and play in a bigger yard while he goes some place and it never fails to happen that my dog
and he's been neutered (or spayed or whatever you do to boy dogs) for 3 years. I mean he has no doggie balls yet like today when they were in the house for fear of the gardener and I didn't hear or see them for like 10 minutes I find my boy dog fully mounted and on top of my brother's bf's dog and doing that pumping motion (sans penetration) with that weird red penis thing out.It's very disturbing. And it really freaks me out because it seems like he's basically raping her even though he's been castrated. Is that normal? Shouldn't that not happen? It really just goes to show that no matter the species dicks make guys assholes. (case in point-"Warner Bros president of production Jeff Robinov has made a new decree that "We are no longer doing movies with women in the lead." Funny I thought Cavemen was an ABC TV Studio property. Ass) (and this was a make up post- I was going to post the video for Gimme More but after a few hours it was taken down from YouTube until I guess the monday premiere. You can see snippets here, but this post was inspired by this.)
from the evening of August 30th (and no this doesn't count as violating my B.Spears Ban. But you can see how a little more than a month ago some were still quite excited about her)

and now this is not BJ Spears news, but when I went onto Best Week Ever this morning I saw this and it really made me do a double take:
To be honest for a second as I was just scanning it I thought she actually was coming to H-W (though we didn't have class superlatives.) But seriously is Harvard Westlake nationally known, to people actually know about and would recognize the name or did that joke just go over the heads of 99.9% of America? (and yes I know the joke was that she was going to a high school but there are other more generic high school names, Hollywood High for instance.) It just seemed random and made me wonder, because I think BWE is based in New York. Any way I'm so proud I would start singing the ol'Alma Mater, but I'm pretty sure we don't have one.
(and yeah if I were advising her I'm not sure I would let her anywhere close to the public and a live national television feed)
[and there seems to be a tonne of intense vitriol aimed at it on Urban Dictionary. Poor jealous {stupid} kids]
My mind is really over Britney and most everything about her, so I've decided I'll only mention her here again if she does something really amazing and just bizarre, like if she enlisted in the Army. Or starts dating Prince Harry. I give my word.* So here are a few things that are peripherally related to Britney (Ms. Spears if you're..her future Nurse Ratched)
Entertainment Weekly has listened to 4 of the new songs off Britney's album (so excited, ugh.) Here are some of the lyrics to Piece of Me, which was produced by the masters who made Toxic, and tha "kicks off with her standard breathy-sexy growl over a thumping hook: ''I'm Mrs. American dream/ Since I was 17.'' Then things get darker: ''I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous/I'm Mrs. 'Oh my God, that Britney's shameless'/ I'm Mrs. 'Extra, extra, this just in' / I'm Mrs. 'She's too fat, now she's too thin.''' At other points in the song, she refers to herself as ''bad media karma'' and insists, ''Another day, another drama/ I can't see the harm in working hard and being a mama." I wonder if it has a hot beat. Anyway you can read the rest here.
I really regret posting that Chris Crocker video yesterday. I mean the kid was everywhere yesterday on tv, cable news and any website I ended up on. I didn't realize something could go from kind of funny to I'm over it and never want to see it again, in less than 24 hours and having only watched it in full once. And of course all the sites mentioned his androgynous appearance and subtly mocked it by italicizing their inevitable "this um...man" line. I still believe that it was an incredibly well acted plea and attempt at humour, maybe to gain publicity who knows, but it may just backfire. I know I linked to the stranger article on him at some point (it's a good read) and how he lives in a small Dixie town and life is tough because he is so out and open, but I just feel having your face on every media site or source crying may make things more difficult by exposing your face and image, or whatever to bigots who may not be familiar with your internet work. And maybe you actually do feel such sympathy for Britney because you too have been ostracized and constantly made fun of, so you can relate to the pain such ridicule may cause. I totally understand and I hope everything works only for the good honey. But I could do without seeing your horrible blond hair for awhile. Enough already.
And finally it's good to see Kevin Federline came out of this whole mess looking clean and good. Of course by clean and good I mean not batshit crazy; I wouldn't have believed that was possible. Here's an interview with Extra about his new "acting thing".
*My word is my bond, unless something is really really too good to pass on.

My "old friend" Chris Crocker has a new video passionately imploring the media to leave britney alone during her times of trouble and also decrying the hypocrisy of bashing her just to push copy. I really can't tell if he cares this much (he claims those are real tears-actors cry real tears too,honey) or if it is a brilliantly acted overexaggerated defense for a fallen star (where's David Spade's Hollywood Minute.) I like to think it's the latter because I wouldn't want to have laughed so much at real passion and the vicarious pain he must be feeling for her. And in honor of this video I will no longer make fun of Britney. (Thanks be to Defamer for doing the dirty work of finding this)
(about half a million views in less than a day.wow) And apparently (according to Page Six so Caveat Emptor) before her performance:
On Saturday, the day before the VMAs, Spears was scheduled to arrive at rehearsal at around 1 p.m. Our spy said, "She didn't even get to Las Vegas until 4:30 p.m.
To make matters worse, when she arrived in Vegas, Spears didn't go straight to rehearsals. "She went to her hotel room and ordered a bunch of food and some frozen margaritas," the spy said. "She came down, like, an hour later with a frozen margarita in her hand."
"The dance number was spectacular - without her," said our spy at rehearsal. "When the stand-in was rehearsing with the dancers, in the hours they were all waiting for her, it was amazing. Then Britney showed up and refused to do anything. The dancers were supposed to lift and twirl her in the air a few times, and that just wasn't going to happen. The more complicated dance moves had to be erased because she couldn't do them."
Meanwhile, Spears was agitated because she didn't like the outfit MTV had selected for her. "MTV wanted her to wear a corset outfit. It would have looked great and covered a lot of things up, but she hated it and didn't think it was sexy enough.
Oops. I was just stating "facts." That wasn't making fun of her was it?
Remember back when Britney Spear's performance were entertaining because of her "talent" and the fact she was hot and not because of the spectacle of a train wreck? I can just barely. I hadn't planned to watch any of the VMAs because I really don't care about any of the "artists" and I'm over MTV but I figured I could watch Britney at the beginning just to see what every one would inevitability be talking about today. After having to endure watching John Norris pretend to actually take any of this seriously (more on that later) she came on and within two seconds my mouth was agape. By the time she had waked down a step covering her mouth in time with a laugh on her backing track I wanted to turn away, by the time she started "singing" I was shaking my head and by the time she started "dancing" I was mesmerized. It was the best most awful "performance" I have ever seen. She seemed so damn apathetic it was almost artistic. You can watch it here until it's no doubt taken down, if you haven't seen it, but be forewarned it is incredibly uncomfortable to watch.
It's like she wasn't even trying or didn't know where she was. I remember thinking that this looked like it was a rehearsal or something, because there were certain points where I could see her counting her steps. And even when she was "dancing" which was her just shuffling around the stage, playing with her hair and being helped, gingerly, from level to level, it looked like she was out of breath. There were no attempts to even pretend she wasn't lip syncing. And she had such a belly! The stripper sexy thing doesn't work when you like like you're 4 months pregnant (though now it seems like she had been locked into this get up and idea for months) The crowd shots of Rihanna or Curtis Jackson or Sean Coombs were probably the best part where they were some embarrassed and had no idea how to react like they couldn't be too critical facially for fear of being on film. Neither did I; the only reason I continued watching after the initial 30 seconds where I knew this was going to be a disaster was because I really expected her to fall down, and I did not want to miss that. It really looked exactly what a parody of a Britney Spear's comeback performance would have been and as I was watching it she reminded me of this old Andy Dick character Daphne Aguilera, who was a teen pop star but fat and untalented and ugly. (and on a side note; because I hadn;t really thought of or cared about Daphne Aguilera I hadn't noticed but that character looks exactly like Kathy Griffin does now. it's uncanny.)
There have been various reports for why it was so so bad and she looked so vacant, like she wasn't really there and only going through the motions (which she didn't remember the steps for), such as she was out until 3 the night before with Puffy and Paris . Another rumour was that this was a performance concieved at the last moment because the Palms had issues about the safety and worries over insurance, and MTV thought that the original Criss Angel aided performance would have been too controversial and that Britney was furious about such a change but I don't believe it. I think if she was actually furious, (assuming she's still capable of feeling emotions,) or even cared that this was her comeback I think it would have just been better if she canceled or bailed out at the last minute. Everyone already thinks she's out of her mind and crazy; a last minute cancellation wouldn't really have hurt her image- in fact that could actually make people worry more about her so that when she actually did her performance her way (if it was so spectacular) it would be even more amazing and a return to form. By going through with such a 5th rate set up it not only gives video documentation of her craziness and chubbiness, and leads to endless ridicule, but also makes people, who held out hope that she still had some talent left, realize there may be nothing left and that they should move on. And I feel kind of bad even writing all of this because the girl really needs serious help, and I know it's horrible to think that at 26 she's a lost cause but all of this might have been prevented if someone had taken stronger action back when she was getting married in Vegas after a night of drinking or having anything to do with Kevin Federline ( and how has he suddenly become the sympathetic good father?) I think we all can look back onto episodes like this as warning signs and the beginning of the end
So while I know nothing about Vanessa Hudgens (not sure if I spelled that right)besides the fact that they boy she's dating is very pretty and very gay I think it's good that her first foray into explorations of sexuality/ "bad girl"ness has been met with swift disapproval and condemnation by those all powerful tweens, as can be seen by this investigation on This Recording. Perhaps if they had acted with similar vigilance back in 2004 and shamed her like they're shaming Vanessa, Britney Spears would be a still attractive, reasonable drinker, decent singer and mother, instead of being whatever the hell she is now.
[and a few other quick thoughts. How old is John Norris? He's been on MTV forever and did you see him last night with the horrible blond hair and the guyliner? He looked like a skeleton, but not in a good way. It was disgusting. Isn't it time to move on and do something more respectable and important than what some 17 year old singer thinks about anything? Even Tabitha Soren ( my idol) moved on long ago. You went to NYU you can get a better job one where you don't have to subject yourself to such b.s and you can have some dignity. You're almost 50! This is embarrassing. P.S. MTV is dead. It may still get decent ratings but never again will it be the decider and barometer of cool, or a trendsetter. It's not a good sign when they're big VMA reinvention was widely panned and probably did disappointingly in the ratings, or that they're big new fall show is a retread of (femaleversions of) a retreadedidea (but it has an edgy twist- she's bisexual ::gasp::) starring an Internet "celebrity." I'm sure it will always inspire some 11 year old girl in Minnesota or somewhere, but it is losing more of it's cultural relevance each day, being replaced by the internet. And more of its audience will spend their MTV years on youtube and elsewhere on the internet finding their own amusement before deciding that the bands MTV plays are horrible and that they have outgrown it. I'm not sure any of that makes me sad.]
