I'm not a girl, not yet someone who is mature enough to realize not to wear this shirt on TV...
I know this is a few days late, but I had to say something.
I saw the Britney Spears interview with Matt Lauer on Dateline.
I'm almost embarrassed to say I taped it (for those of you who are confused when I say "tape" - I do not mean scotch tape/duct tape etc., I mean to use this machine called a VCR that people used to record programming prior to the invention of Tivo. Understand?)
Anyway, I was a working fool last week and Thursday was no exception. I saw a preview to the interview while preparing for work and had the Today Show on in the background. When I caught a glimpse of Britney snapping her gum as she said something like, "Waaaah. Leave me alone, paparazzi," I knew I had to see this thing.
So, I watched it.
Now, as a journalist my first thoughts were, how dumb does Matt Lauer feel doing this interview? You know he was like, "but this morning I was talking about al-Zarqawi and the consumer price index and oh then there was this summer fashion show after Al's weather...oh yeah I forgot I work for the Today Show and do crap like this. Damn."
I would like to first note that I'm not a total Britney basher. I actually feel slightly bad for her b/c people totally are gunning for her...but then I remember how much money she has and feel less bad. The following is kind of negative, so if you adore Britney, you're going to think I'm mean. I don't mean to be harsh, but this is just what I noticed.
First of all, I've never been pregnant but do you often continue to wear denim mini skirts? I'm honestly asking if that is normal.
Second of all, the gum, oh the gum. I felt like my disapproving mother the time I was a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding and I forgot to spit out my gum before walking down the aisle. In my defense, I was in college and already a little tipsy from the limo ride. (I promise not to repeat this in October, Jen). But, at least I hid the gum and realized it wasn't a gum-friendly occasion.
Lastly, I would like to point out my favorite quote in the Britney interview.
It's not how she said "We're country" when explaining how putting a baby in your lap while driving a car isn't so bad.
It's not when she called her husband "simple" (multiple times) when asked what she likes about him.
It's when she referred to her son and her unborn child as her "boo-boos."
Awesome.

I quite enjoyed the large chunk of mascara hanging on the upper lashes of her right eye. When she got all blubbery and teary, I kept hoping it would fall off- or better yet, smear all over the place a la Liza Minnelli. But no dice. The suspense was almost too much for me to take.
Jesus Christ, THE GUM! Drove me frickin crazy. She is so trashy, it's sad.
Just imagine what her publicist had to deal with all those years. Yikes.
