We've been thinking about taking a vacation to escape from insane minutia of the life of Britney Spears, but after searching far and wide we cannot find one single location that is Spears free. We hear that even Marlon Brando's private island gets a dial-up, basic cable, and an Us Weekly subscription. So unless she's decides to go the Howard Hughes route and lock herself up in a room with a bunch of empty pissing bottles, we're just going to have to deal with it. We will never be free of the Spears.
We're sure you've already rushed to Best Buy and bought yourself a copy of Brit's new album, Blackout, but for the non Brit-obsessed, her record label isn't counting on the pop star trying to sell them the disc. The New York Daily News claims:
"They can't get Britney to do anything!" said a source close to the label and Spears. "They did get her to do one photo-shoot for some promotional materials, but beyond that, they can't trust her to even show up. This album could've been so much bigger with Britney involved."This is the one opportunity they have to try and sell a million records. They were forced to [go on with] their marketing plan" ó without her.
"They don't feel they need her if she's going to keep blowing them off. She's already on the cover of every gossip magazine, and she's on Perez Hilton nearly all day, every day for her antics.
"Jive is just hoping to continue riding the Britney wave. The label can't afford to waste their money hoping to get some of her time to help promote this. She's too busy [hanging out] in a club somewhere."
It's not really surprising that a spoiled, filthy rich celebrity doesn't want to waste her time whoring herself out. She's not Jerry Seinfeld.
In other things-she-doesn't-want-to-do news, Britney will only be required to care for her children three days a week, under supervision. Unless that supervision is Mary Poppins herself, we're pretty sure that even three days a week with Britney is going to ensure that Sean and JJ grow up to steal car stereos for a living.
