Gimme Less. A Lot Less.

I don't (and won't) normally post on pop culture, but this Louisiana native is giving my home state a, um, black eye. First, her "performance" at the VMA Awards (original video is here; but parodies here and here are way better than the original.) And then, she was again caught flashing her publics to the world (with her, you can't honestly call them "privates" anymore). Yes, the pride of Kentwood, Louisiana, is proving conclusively that the Peter Principle can be exceeded. (The Peter Principle: "everyone tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence.")

My $0.02, Brit: You're a wreck. Grow up, and some get help. And some panties. You're a mother, fer crissakes, you are not the most important person in your world anymore.


UPDATE: Spears does have her defenders. This is one of the more popular videos on YouTube right now. It doesn't take long to see why - just remember that you are watching a grown man.

UPDATE: Perez Hilton has a parody of the defender.

As a loyal Tangipahoa citizen, I couldn't disagree more. If our most infamous daughter does more drugs and booze, she might forget how to get back to Kentwood.

As the saying goes, "You can take the trash out of the trailer, BUT....."

Seriously, we're watching a train wreck in slow motion here. I hope she gets the help she needs before a fatal impact.

Regarding overexposure - I'm reminded of a comment that came out about the time that Madonna was promoting her "Sex" album/book/video game/whatever, and someone noted that the next logical thing for Madonna would be to release her X-rays - everything else about her (other than her bank statement) had already been seen.

Two years ago, could anyone have pictured Kevin Federline as being perceived as the "responsible" one?

The sad part is that this tragedy could very well have a sequel, since Britney's younger sister is now a big TV star. What's to prevent her from becoming a bald, naked drunk in a few years' time?
