“Strength from her innocence”
Dateline Hollywood: — In a shocking development, two of Hollywood’s wildest stories came together on Monday when a newly bald Britney Spears showed up at a Broward County, Fla. Courtroom to claim that she is the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter….
When the “crawl” came across the TV screen on Friday, I literally shuddered. Not because some “overweighted” and over rated “pop princess” shaved her head, but because I knew that I would have to endure the news from every media outlet for the next month (at least until Michael Jackson sodomizes Shia LeBeouf)While I do think that the Anna Nicole story is sad because of all that happened to her (and the fact that no one in her life stopped her from self destructing), this ridiculous obsession with Britney Spears has got to stop. And don’t try to tell me it’s an “American thing”. People all over the world care about that ho. Why??? I will never understand it, but look at the Google Zeitgest from just January of this year. Britney Spears was one of the Top 15 most searched for items in countries as diverse as: Brazil, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico and the Philippines! (Along with someone who is even worse….Paris Hilton, but I digress.) Is it just a lot of horny men out there? It’s certainly not her singing!
And I swear every time I happen to come across”Access Entertainment Insider Extra” it’s all Anna all of the time. I actually had to write down what they said last week on Entertainment Tonight:
Stay tuned for Howard K. Stern’s emotional reunion with Dannielynn in a SAFE HOUSE. Hushed tones. He gently pats her back, hoping to gain strength from her innocence, the strength to go on. He tries to find the words to tell her that her mother is gone. Their bond is all there is, they only have each other.
I swear to God I didn’t make that up! Beside the fact that they’re talking about a 5 month old baby, you should have heard the funereal music! You might ask why I endure watching, but it’s so damn funny! Will someone please just shoot Pat O’Brien, Mary Hart, Billy Bush and Mark Steines?? Please!! I’m embarrassed to even live in LA. When will it end? Sadly I don’t think it will. Could we not concentrate on the horrors of life these days? Soldiers dying, poverty, AIDS. Why, oh why, is Britney Spears’ underwear (or lack thereof) news? Someone is already trying to sell her hair, her Bic lighter and her can of Red Bull on the Internet (minimum bid $1,000,000). Yes you can go to www.buybritneyshair.com (I kid you not, the website has been so busy that they’re over their quota and you may not even be able to get on.

Now, some may say that I’m perpetuating this ridiculous pop culture blather, but isn’t that what the “blogoshpere” is for? Someone needs to give all these idiots, including CNN and the New York Times a wakeup call!! The end of the world must surely be near.

yay! lets all bid on hairy from a washed up pop star!!
I don’t expect any better from ET, or even CNN for that matter. But the fact that serious news agencies are running it at serious news is a worry. I think Britney’s head shaving was on about page five of our local paper. Waaaay closer to the front than the “world news” section.
I don’t know what the obsession is – the Iraq war is a train wreck, but you don’t see people following it with the same enthusiasm they follow the train wreck of Britney’s life.
