As the former pop princess reinvents her career after a failed marriage, a stint in rehabilitation and panty-less pictures taken in public, Spears posted a note on her Web site, www.britneyspears.com, apologizing to the paparazzi for the umbrella-bashing incident, calling it a "stunt."
"I was preparing my character for a roll (sic) in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally," the 25-year-old wrote. "I take all my rolls (sic)

Man, she’s 25 already? I guess the stars the burn the brightest burn out the fastest. She’s barely still in the innocent category, and when she’s pregnant with a cig hanging from her lips, she goes to full on guilty.

If she were smart (apparently she’s not) she’d get the heck out of Hollywood, take a break from recording and touring and try leading a normal life for once.

Bless her heart. She still thinks she’s relevant.

In fairness, I think that “roll” is her unborn child, not pizza and doughnuts.

Why is this broad STILL bald?
Is this an old picture/story, or did she decide to keep it shaved?

Hard to believe 7 or 8 years ago, I used to find "that" attractive (back when she looked like this):

Although I commented to my former fiancee about 5 years ago that she had a neck like a football quarterback. If that stare is anything like what she must look like while reaching climax, I'd think I was copulating with Satan himself.

Isn’t that the show where Madonna kissed her ? I think she gave her some serious bad juju.
Britney’s biggest mistake was getting married when she did and squeezing out those kids. No female entertainer who has to rely on her looks should be having children before 30 or 35 (at least when they hopefully start to acquire enough wisdom that they don’t run out and shave their heads and swing umbrellas at SUV’s).

She really is starting to look like Brando. All she needs is about 300 more pounds, and start mumbling “Napoleonic code” and “you come to me in friendship” and she’s there.
