Where You At?

So, my crappy television watching habits have once again turned me to VH1's middle-of-the-day rerun filled programming block. And amongst the marathons of the most unrealistic show ever and Hogan Knows Best (which always seems to be on the same episode), someone forgot to flip the channel when VH1 devoted a half hour to askin' Britney Spears where she's at.


It's hard to think of someone you hear about constantly as a has-been, but when you remember back to junior high, when people actually had a reason (albeit not a very good one) to talk about this person ... you start to pick up that perhaps you're gettin too old for this shit, and maybe said celebrity should start thinking the same.


A long time ago, in a city far, far away there existed a car conversation betwixt my brother and me (good show if you haven't seen it; but I digress) and we were trying to decipher what it was exactly Ms. Spears wanted us to do when asking to be hit one more time. We both came to the logical conclusion- no one gives a shit. She's still hot no matter what's comin' outta her mouth.


That, however, was many moons ago. In the time since, we have been offered numerous copycat killers. Some have gone on to success, while others have gone on to ... umm, success (GOD, America is full of retards who'll buy anything; see: Entry No. 4). Then Britney got married one and a half times, brought a coupla new recruits to the trailer park olympics, and got divorced a coupla times.


Since divorce No. 2, K-Fed has gone from being joke of the day and flippin burgers to father of the year. Britney, on the other hand, has been in and out of rehab and looks like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta (word up to Guy Fawkes, BIATCH!).


Then some genius of a PR agent decided Britney should show she hasn't gone completely nuts by performing on stage to open the VMAs (or whatever award show MTV has just had ... clearly, I research). Note to all PR majors lookin' for a career: if your client can't stay in rehab for more than a day, looks like she ate her two children, and her last impressive performance was destroying a paparazzi van - it's prolly not a great idea to have her comeback broadcast live to millions of viewers.

Needless to say, the result has cemented one fact: Britney is old and washed up. Now this doesn't necessarily stop some people (i.e. Madonna), but perhaps it should.

Passing the Torch

Here's to hopin we can ask Where You At? to the rest of the people the media cares about more than we do.

PS- Enjoy this video: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
