Oops, she did it again

I'm sure I'm joining the legions of wacky morning news anchors with that headline, but it's hard to resist.

First off, can someone tell me why this is Front Page News? I mean, really. It's a hairdo. It's Britney. Y'all shouldn't be too surprised by anything she does anymore, right?

Question: "Um, well, then why are you writing about it? I mean, if it doesn't matter and all."

Answer: "Because I don't write about things that are important. Except my daughter. She's important to me, of course. But I don't think her recent advances in language and motor development should be front page news either. I like to write about dumb shit."

Not that Britney is a dumb shit. Wait, hold on, okay. Let me just say I don't dislike her. I'm kinda fascinated by her. Which is, of course, why I suppose she's Front Page News all the time. Let me just say I'm confused. I watched the interview, yes the one with Matt Lauer (don't get me started on him...). She seemed to be upset, nay distraught, nay tormented by all the media attention that was thrust upon her. "I'm jus' tryin' to live mah liiieeefe," she pleaded in her sappy sweet southern drawl. I felt sorry for her. Poor girl's just trying live huh liiieeefe. Leave her alone!

But now, with the clubbin' and the Hiltonin' and the flashin'... I just don't know. I was reading in US Weekly, oh maybe in the dentist's office or something, not really sure where I happened upon that trash rag exactly...ok fine. I was reading it in bed because I have a subscription. There, I've come clean, feels good. So, they tend to track celebrities and it just blows my mind. "Britney parties in NYC Feb 12." Then another pic: "Britney parties in LA Feb. 13." "Britney enters rehab Feb. 14." "Britney parties til 5:30 am in NYC Feb 15."

I just don't get it. I felt sorry for you. I wanted to hide you away from the paparazzi in my basement. MY BASEMENT for frick's sake. Now why are you trapsing around the globe partying til all hours of the night?

Now I would never doubt another mother's skills and abilities as a parent, especially one I have never met. Lord knows I've got a lot to still learn in that department. But babies wake up early, and what time do you get up girl? Those lil chaps need you, look who their father is, good golly.

I posed this question to Devin this morning: "Why doesn't she just take her kids, her money, her family & friends and just hide out and enjoy life?" I mean, if she's so harassed by it all.

He answered, "She's addicted to the attention." I think he may have a valid point. Really, what else could explain it?

Lice?
