Well, it was nice while it lasted. The absence of any Britney Spears news from this column, that is.
Frankly, we were kind of getting sick of blogging about Brit's bizness week after week after friggin' week. So when, incredibly, nothing she did managed to make our top 10 headlines list in last week's blog, we got all excited. We were actually hoping to go for a personal best, and have TWO WHOLE WEEKS IN A ROW of Britney-free bliss. But of course, that was just a pipedream. Because there's NO way we can ignore what went down in Britney's continually crumbling world this week. To not write about her now would be shirking our journalistic duty!So this week Britney leaked her new "Gimme More" video, in which she cleans up her act by playing a "good girl." That is, a good girl who goes to a strip club and watches a "bad girl" version of herself pole-dance. Um, OK, whatever.
Perhaps the "Gimme More" video's leak was deliberate, to distract the public from the real Britney story this week: that Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon--the very same judge who only two weeks ago ordered Britney to undergo random drug testing--granted physical custody of Britney's two beleaguered boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, to her infamous ex-husband Kevin Federline. Furthermore, Britney's future visits with her kids will be supervised. Wow. You know, we really thought Britney had hit rock bottom with that whole VMA mess. But if being a deemed a more unfit parent than onetime national laughingstock K-Fed isn't rock bottom, then we don't know what is. And frankly, we don't want to know. there may or may not be financial motives behind his custody battle (note that he never sought full guardianship of his two kids with his decidedly less solvent babymama, Shar Jackson). But at least Kevin is rarely spotted partying these days, and at least when he is seen in public, he's always wearing underwear! Anyway, keep in mind that under U.S. law, custody is awarded to the parent who has the "best interests of the child" in mind (although, as Hollywood divorce lawyer Raoul Felder wryly points out, "With a lot of celebrities, that bar is pretty low"). So K-Dad (as he is now sometimes affectionately known, although we prefer the nickname Papa-zao) is definitely a better option here. Who'd a thunk?
