Britney Spears Upstages Midterm Election, Files For Divorce From Kevin Federline

Numerous reports have chronicled the turbulence in Spears' marriage and the apparent toll it took on the new mother. Spears has had a series of public... gaffes, shall we say, where her parenting is concerned and rumors of a split have plagued the couple from the beginning.  No matter how hard they tried to convince us their love was forever, the world remained skeptical. TheBrit can shoulder some of the blame for the scoffs of the prying public, having married a friend on a whim only to annul the marriage 55 hours later. 

We have thus far heard nothing from Camp K-Fed, at least not in legal terms. Sadly, K-Fed has not been quite so silent in the musical arena as he finally released his album, Playing With Fire.  It has been suggested there is no such thing as bad publicity and it is true news of this won't likely hurt the album, if only because no one is actually buying the damn thing.  If the critics can be believed, no amount of publicity can save this turd of an record.  Speaking of K-Fed and turd albums, I have a suggestion for the sequel when he takes this heartbreak and tries to morph it into a follow-up record (a la Nick Lachey):  a duet with former American Idol William Huang.  Could anything suck more?

There is good news for the two children who, like so many children, were born to idiots.  According to TMZ, Spears might be smarter than we all think (and how could she not be?), or at least has received better advice than Sir Paul McCartney. Citing anonymous sources, Spears and Federline signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their October 2004 marriage. It sounds like K-Fed better start selling some of his own records.

Spederline is no more. K-Fed's appearance on a future season of The Surreal Life is imminent.

The Fark headline is "Pre-nup-o-zao"

Nobody can top that.

Brilliant! Years from now, when two or three people still remember Britney, this will live as the definitive statement of the break-up.
You nailed it, my friend. People, Us, OK the National Examiner and all those other mindless tabloids can collectively hang their heads in shame.

Thank you, Ray. Kind words indeed and I appreciate it. The celebrity beat is one I usually ignore or leave to others but this one was too good to ignore.

That is a pretty good headline, though, Suss. Personally, I like EO's "doublewide dream is over."

this is great news it's about time that Britanny showed Us who need her as a Role Model, that even if you're abused and Southern, you can get a divorce. Bravo for showing Us Southern Women the Way!

"Pre-nup-o-zao"? Translation please!

#7 — November 8, 2006 @ 06:43AM — Eric Olsen

great job Josh! You handled the election angle a lot better than I did and did a more thorough job overall - thanks!

#8 — November 8, 2006 @ 11:20AM — DJRadiohead [URL]

EO, I am humbled by the praise. Your article on the subject was every bit as fancy as mine own but I appreciate it.

As for the translation, Chris, it is a play on words of sort. K-Fed has recorded a song by the name of "PopoZao" or something to that effect. I think that is the correct name. Anyway, it is a combination of that song and prenuptial which TheBrit was wise enough to have in place just in case.

My lack of knowledge of trailer park culture embarrasses me.

#10 — November 10, 2006 @ 12:49PM — Dawn

That was awesome - the election tie-in was sublime!

#11 — November 12, 2006 @ 11:27AM — DJRadiohead [URL]

Thank you, Dawn. I am sure you would have skewered them even better!
