1. I feel sorry for the girl

I wish I could knock some sense into her, non-violently of course. She's surrounded herself with predators, including her scumbag new paparrozo boyfriend. Scum, he is. Scum, the lot of them. Then scumbags like Dr. Phil show up, and rightfully get thrown out because he's a quack. Meanwhile she's no doubt banging some paparrozo or however the fuck you spell it, and getting used, again. Just like "K-Fed" used her for her money. No wonder she's a headcase. Where are her parents? Her mum and dad? Oh that's right, making more money off her.

They're all scum.

2. true that ... all of it and yeah, she's a train wreck in the making n/t

3. EVERY celebrity has an obituary on file in major media.

Boilerplate obituaries are written well in advance for celebrities, so that if the worst happens, text is ready to go in minutes. Just fill in the blanks.

For example, Universal Press Syndicate has my obituary on file in case it's needed. If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, they can send the obituary out with that day's "New Adventures Of Queen Victoria."

I also remember a couple of years ago someone stumbled upon the graphic CNN.com had for a headline for Cheney's obituary. It's standard procedure.

The obituaries are not on file just because Britney is being a self-destructive asshat; they've been ready since "(Baby) One More Time" hit the charts.
