Full Version: Brittney Spears
I know there is nothing to debate here and that is why I put this here.
I am sure you all have heard how she got married over the weekend and now is getting an annullment.
Headline in a local paper said Brittney Spears got married to "SOME GUY". Boy this must make this guy feel extra special.
And now she is filling for an annullment?
I think she really needs to grow up.
I call her the Idiot of the new year!!!
Just my thoughts!!

I didn't hear about this until I had a look at my livejournal friends list. I wish I hadn't known. Every time I look at the news I become aggravated.
They should forget about an Amendment to the Constitution forbidding gay marriage and add one forbidding stupid people to marry.
Yahoo news.
Does that mean she's still a "virgin" pop princess?
Edit: Congratulate me, I've reached the century mark. Wee!

That was fast," said attorney Brian J. Steinberg, who practices family law in Las Vegas. "I'm not even sure they had time to have sex."

Britney Spears' virginity or lack thereof is no concern of mine, but if I were going to bet...
She still is, though, a pop princess. It is interesting that this escapade was timed so closely to her latest album release, or was it?
The cynic in me says it was a publicity stunt, but I could see just as easily this entertainer, whose life has an aura of unreality, going into the wedding chapel with What's His Name just for the hell of it.
After all, just about anything that is done can be undone with money, right?
(Edited to say, Congratulations Corvus! )

I was partying in Vegas last weekend. I hooked up with some young blonde, got very drunk and think I may have married her.
I wonder?

Actually, that's exactly what happened, as disappointed as that makes me in the entire human race.

"Plaintiff Spears lacked understanding of her actions to the extent that she was incapable of agreeing to the marriage," the annulment petition said.

"It was just crazy, man," the 22-year-old told "Access Hollywood" in an interview at his home Monday morning. "And we were just looking at each other and said, 'Let's do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it.'
Someday, when she dies, her tombstone will say:
"Here lies Britney,
Whose mere existence gave the Pro-Choice movement all the ammo they needed."
But, of course, this kind of stuff doesn't cheapen the concept of marriage, like gay marriage would.
Sheesh! Cut her some slack folks, she's just a dumb kid doing what dumb kids do from time to time. The joke is on the media that felt they had to cover this entire thing like it was a real story. Must have been a slow news day.

As a 22 year old, I resent that comment!
But seriously 22 is old enough to know better. People play "house" when they are 5 year old kids, not when they are 22 year old adults.
Which reminds me of a co-worker, an almost life-long bachelor... He was noted for some of the mistakes he made, like:
...tying a rope around a branch, throwing it over a higher branch, tying the other end to himself, and then cutting the first branch off. The branch he cut off weighed more than he did, and he was rescued only because the dangling branch was blocking traffic.
Holding a pair of wires for a telephone in his mouth while he crawled under a house trailer to rewire the phone. A ringing telephone delivers a very startling 70 volts or so. He hit his head on the trailer floor every time it rang, and didn't think to remove the wires from his mouth!
...Telling a tax assessor that he would be happy to sell his house for the appraised value. (In Michigan, appraised value is limited by law to one half the fair market value.) There were witnesses to the conversation. He returned from vacation to learn that the tax assessor had purchased his house at "the agreed upon value."
...And, of course, his vacation in Las Vegas. He got drunk on the plane, married the woman who had been flying next to him, and then woke up the next morning to learn that she still needed to get a divorce. An annulment, under those circumstances, cost about the same as a divorce, he learned the hard way. It was an especially expensive lesson, because she took the marriage license, and he had never asked her what her name was before they got married. He had to hire a private investigator to learn the name of the woman before he could get the marriage annulled.

Looms. 22 is old enough to be an adult, but still young enough to get away with doing goofy things. ENJOY IT! It becomes more difficult as you get older, trust me. You can still get away with it, but it is more difficult.

Your colleague sounds like a future Darwin Award winner.

I don't know about that, the year has just started and that gives the celebs plenty of time to out do her.

Oh, I'm so sorry, but you lost that bet. I'm almost positive that she admitted Justin was her first a month ago or so. It was reported on my morning radio show, based on an interview. Personally I think it is all a publicity stunt, that Madonna kiss was getting old and she needed to get her name back in the headlines. Jeez I'm almost ashamed I know all that crap.
I think the funniest thing about the Vegas wedding is that the Brittany PR machine denies reports that she was drunk. Sure...lots of people get married in Vegas after leaving a club at 5:30 am when they're sober. I really can't believe they have even tried to deny drunkeness. They must think people are really dumb.
On another note, who cares!

Even Britney's former public relations gal said yesterday in an interview that this was probably one of the most unlikely and craziest things she has ever done and that she personally needs to comment on the episode so that it can go away.
The ex-groom (childhood friend) didn't look or sound like he thought it was a grand joke they pulled off.
Britney is a talented gal with so much ahead of her, but she has a way to go before you can label her "mature."

Nah, she's not a virgin. She came out saying that she lost her virginity to Justin Timberlake. Like we didn't know....
I know it was incredibly stupid for her to get married. She was drunk and the media says that they were doing a "joke that went too far". Whoa boy, it definitely went tooo far....
For those of you who are Britney fans, here is a link to an article expressing her family and friends' concern over her recent "joke."

And to think...some people still argue gay marriage would undermine the sanctity of marriage.
I think celebrities should be entitled to 'life partnerships' only.
