Oh Britney!

Tell me if this qualifies as sexy.

It doesn't look as repulsive the more I look at them, but honestly I was kind of shocked at what she's doing! So much so that I'm beginning to lose faith in her.

She's done a TV interview recently, and cried on that one. It was a primetime slot, ensuring that everyone who turned on the TV could have a good look at what seemed to be the pop princess falling from grace. The begging, complaining that the papparazzi's hounding has taken its toll on her happiness. While I agree with most of the points she makes in the interview, I also have to agree with others who said that she sounded dumb and disturbingly common. There's even a spoof of her interview here.

Reports has it that she did this interview as an attack on celeb weeklies and their papparazzi to make them stay away from her. On top of that, she wanted to be back in the spotlight as the "perfect" person, instead of being portrayed with scathing accusations that her marriage was broken and that she was a bad mother. However it backfired and 87% of the people polled by US Weekly said they had less respect for Britney after that. It is rumoured that she then tried to sell an interview of her in good light for $200,000, but there were no takers, till OK! bought it for $5,000. She's trying so hard to manipulate the media, and to play the game, but it seems that she's not winning.

And she's using her final weapon, it seems. Britney is sueing 8 tabloids for divorce rumours.

The only way she can show that she's on top of her game, is to do her job well. Which is to make good music. It doesn't matter if it becomes forgettable or disposable; at least she has a legit reason to portray herself as sexy and cool in her music videos and do interviews about her working life instead. But with the second baby coming along, she has postponed her album work to two years later.
