Shut-Up Britney Spears, Shut-Up!

Shut-up Britney Spears, shut-up! Go back to wherever you crawled from and quit crying already! You have the family life you always wanted along with the career and enough dough to keep you happy for possibly the next 40 years when you’ll be trying your hardest to yank on a mic, swaying your body to the rhythm of the music and tapping a cane while on some stage in Vegas, granted you’ll still be able to sing when you reach 60 years of age, granted even more so that you can’t even sing now!

It’s not enough that Britney Spears can’t stay out of the limelight like she claims she wants to, but chooses not to, as her latest diatribe against the world is a $20 million lawsuit against the likes of US Weekly magazine for “fabricating a story that she and dancing bear husband Kevin Federline made a sexually explicit video together and worried it might be made public,” that ran earlier this year in October.

Now come on. What is it with celebrities these days, especially those who are so terribly worried about their images? Anyone can find photographs of Britney Spears half-naked or naked on the Internet if they really wanted to, but I’m not sure how much someone would want to, to begin with, because she’s really nothing to look at, but where was I, oh yeah, so what is it with rock stars worried about their images for god sakes?

Maybe these rock stars and celebrities, who so desperately want and seek stardom and the accolades that go with it, really do deserve everything they get. After all, this is what they strive for when they first start out, all that attention, all those fans, all those limousines, all that special treatment, all those red carpets, all that privacy, all that dough…

The trouble with Britney Spears is that she brought this one on herself and doesn’t do anything to stop it. She was the one that bought two new breast augmentations a few years ago, she was the one that agreed to pose so provocatively on the hundreds, if not perhaps thousands of magazines she’s been on the covers of; she’s the one that wanted the fame and publicity, she’s the one that kissed Madonna on an awards show, she’s the one that chose to do a reality show based on her courtship with her now-husband based on self-shot tailor-made videos, she's the one who married Jason Allen Alexander, an old childhood friend in Las Vegas and then annulled the marriage 55 hours later, she’s the one who…the list goes on and on and on, but you get the idea.

And Britney Spears was also the one who earlier this year criticized US Weekly for publishing photos of herself and her husband (Kevin) Federline when the two honeymooned in Fiji during 2004, according to BBC News.

Said the magazine of the lawsuit, “Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it's unlikely the issue here is privacy. Britney (Spears) should start her own magazine if she'd like to dictate her own coverage," responded Us Weekly.

The trouble you see, isn’t with the media or the fans, it’s Britney Spears herself, for you see Britney (Spears), your fans gave you exactly what you wanted, those 60 million albums that your fans bought and you eventually bankrolled because you enticed them with your shitty music, you enticed them with your personal life splashed all over the press, television, your website, magazines and newspapers, but most of all, you enticed them with your sex appeal; your youthful appearance, your supposed sexiness, your supposed everything that makes you who you’ve become, which another pop-star who will fade away with time.

If all else fails, Britney Spears can always become a porn star, after all, she is a natural when it comes to faking it with her music and her videos...

So, what do you do with a living, breathing Louisiana Barbie doll whose willing to yell her lungs out on stage, sell her soul for a few million in tight-fitting clothing, provocative outfits sing suggestive lyrics and pose seductively on her albums in and photographs designed?

You ignore her and put on the new Franz Ferdinand album. Now that’s an awesome record!
