Britney Spears, weary after two failed attempts at marriage this year — the first in January to childhood friend Jason Alexander (not THAT one) in a "surprise" (intoxicated) Las Vegas wedding that was described as a "joke" and annulled 55 hours later, the second just last weekend to "dancer" Kevin Federline, for which the couple couldn't quite figure out the complexities of a marriage license nor complete the pre-nup in time — decided that she didn't really need another actual person to help her with this "marriage thing," and exchanged vows with herself in a private ceremony described as "dignified."
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."

Well spoken, Eric. You title was an homage to the greats at the 'The Onion'. Two marriages in less than a year? I don't care who you are, that screams of desperation and abandonment issues. Now, I am not saying Brittney is looking for a father figure but... oh wait... that is exactly what I am saying.

Well, if she's exchanging vows with herself, she shouldn't have to worry too much about the pre-nup :)

Thanks guys,
oh, she still has to be careful, she doesn't want to let herself take advantage of herself
And two hasty marriages in one year at the age of 22? What sort of nonsense is that? It seems to me she gets married to justify a "wedding night" and then, um, rethinks the matter.

"But in a real sense, a spiritual sense, we're married."
LOL.

doubtless they are soul mates - I hate to be classist, but the trailer park appears to be calling to Britney in a soft voice late at night

Wanted to join the Blogcrtics, and this seems to be how to best get in touch with you. Interests are politics, books, Internet, and televison. Look forward to hearing from you.

She makes a lovely couple.
It's kind of fascinating to watch her spiral downward, from sweet sexy angel to trailer-trash babe. I wonder if Disney is cringing with her every "event" and keeping a very close eye on Hilary Duff - seems everyone who's spent time on the channel turns "controversial" as they get older and more desperate for the spotlight.

Hilary seems a bit less intent on being "sexy" from the get-go, and she also has a successful acting career - I want to like Britney, but isn't making it easy

Yes, there's no better soulmate for Britney than her self....
Idiot blonde + Idiot blond =Narcissistic love
Now that will last til the end of time

there does seem a fair amount of narcissim in Britney's consistent choices to exploit her "sexyness" every step of the way - she has never "had" to do any of it

This news hasn't got to us yet..is she no longer married to Mr Federline? Whatever the case, leave Britney alone! As long as she is not married to any of you, I'm sure she will be fine:);)

exactly: leave her alone now that's she's married to herself and all, she will need some time alone.
The last I've heard she's still married to the pud, but I thought it was hilarious she had another marriage issue with the prenup not finished in time and no marriage license. I wouldn't bet the farm this one will make it to the first anniversary)
