Associated Press Has Written Britney Spears' Obituary ("We are not wishing it, but...")
The AP Has Written Britney Spears' Obituary



http://www.usmagazine.com/exclusive_associated_press_has_written_britney_spears_obituary

The Associated Press began preparing Britney Spears’ obituary within the past month, Usmagazine.com has learned.

"We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time," AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington tells Us.

"I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now," Washington adds. "Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."

Washington also says the AP has a "pretty extensive obituary operation," and that staffers are "constantly adding people."

Following a bizarre night out Wednesday, Spears’ pal Sam Lutfi phoned into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, claiming, “everything’s fine.”

1. That's not unusual
Newspapers often write obits ahead of time for the famous so they can get them out in a timely fashion with a minimum of editing.


It is rather ghoulish having to do it for one so young, however. :-(

She really is going off the rails. I hope she gets help soon.

3. How awful.
I myself most certainly don't have any money in the pool.

Nosiree. That'd be tasteless.

7. They would NEVER use something like that to sell magazines and make lots of money.
"it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time"...

Looking at the economy, I'd say that America is beginning to get what it deserves for this type of ghoulish behaviour.

8. "We're not wishing it, but..."
"...our paparazzi are continuing to make her life a living hell, while our journalists breathlessly report her every move to a waiting world. Nobody can bear that kind of pressure, so we're pretty sure she'll be wormfood by this time next year."
