Re: Can Britney Use An iPod?, a friend who used to work at St. Martin’s shares this story…
John Sargent, the CEO of St. Martin’s press was in LA on business, went to the gym and they told him it wasn’t air conditioned but he wanted to work out anyway. He was on a machine with his iPod, Britney came over and asked him about it and (though he noticed the paparazzi) he didn’tknow who she wasrecognize her as Britney. So she found one of her songs on his iPod and said, “That’s me, babe. Britney.”
Or something like that. So she can use an iPod. Sorry for doubting you Brit.

Strangely enough, I do the exact same thing to people at the gym.
But your paparazzi core is actually made up lost tourists.
Core?! Er, corps.
So forksclovetofu, you go up to people with iPods at the gym and say “That’s me, babe. Britney.”?
Might try that too…
This is a prophetic glimpse into Britney’s future… wandering aimlessly though gyms and strip malls, desperately trying to see if random passerbys know who the hell she is.
She really needs to start wearing a bra again.
shouldn’t someone with the amount of money she has have a gym at her home and personal trainer? Or maybe she is just trying to let people see that she isn’t a TOTAL slacker…
Thank you Brooke, I was about to say the exact same thing. If I had her kind of loot, I’d have my own gym at home. Christ, she has a special bedroom with a chandelier for her dogs. You’d think she could afford her own Bowflex.
Word on the street, is that the gym is in a hotel across the street from her apartment building. She also conducts interviews from this hotel, rather than have journalists in her home.
At least she’s working out.
He’s gonna let me write a guide to marriage y’all.
ummmm just going out on a limb here about Brit and her choice of gym. is it not just slightly possible she may have an exhibitionist tendency or two???????
What I don’t understand is why this girl insists on regularly traipsing around town sans makeup, yet she totally dolls it up to go to the gym.
No wonder her skin is so icky.
Does anyone find it hard to believe that anyone didn’t know who she is? Even grandmas know who Britney is.
could someone please tell her to wear a bra as her sagging breasts are NASTY.
Shouldn’t this story have a red dot or something by it for “fake.”
stereogum! you should tell the people about freefiona.com a very worthy cause to blog about.
this story sounds a little made up. who cares that there was no AC in the gym? why would the guy have britney on his ipod if he didn’t know who she was?
Dear sir/madam,
Please get lives.
Cheers….
MY STATS:
WEEK 0: 220 pounds, 28% body fat (starting value Jan 3 2005)
WEEK 1: 214 pounds, 27% body fat (Jan 10 2005)
GOAL: 140 pounds, 10% body fat
SO FAR: -6 pounds, -1% body fat
TO GO: -74 pounds, -17% body fat
(you can participate using weight only if you don’t have a body fat scale, however, you can pick one up for about $30 at Wal-Mart. they are useful to have.)
Marina, is that you??
I’d believe it CEOs are really out of it. Once (I work in corporate PR) I had to take this CEO to the CNN studios for an interview. Our show, The Money Gang, aired directly after, The Biz. He’s sitting in a make up chair next to Kenny Loggins (!!!) and Mischa Barton walks by with some producer/handler and says “Hi.” It took my humming almost the entire soundtracks to Caddy Shack, Footloose, and Top Gun before he realized who Kenny Loggins is. K.L. is in the bull’s eye center of his “Lite Hits” millieu. There was no way he’d know who M.B. was. Grandmas may know pop culture, CEOs don’t even notice, it’s how they get to be CEOs. His iPod was probably set up by a lowly assistant.
geez your not bitter or anything.
what’s scary is that he had Britney on his Ipod! What grown man listens to that? weirdo.
I think grown men make up the other 70% of Britneys listening audience, you know, besides the 30% that the tweens cover. God that is sad.
Wouldn’t it be cool to have a playlist called “me”?
That CEO dude with the ipod is my dad’s boss. My dad was at the conference in LA and heard the whole thing. U guys want the real story? Here it is:
John went into the gym to exercise his shoulders which he had injured while snowboarding with his kids. So, so far we have a guy in his late forties in a hotel gym with his ipod. It had nothing to do with air-conditioning. Shortly thereafter, Brittney comes in and gets on the treadmill next to where he is working his shoulder.
He has no idea who she is but soon notices the paparazzi in the windows (which he first thought was a fire truck passing by) When he realized it was cameras he took out one headphone and said “I guess that’s for you” to which she responded “yeah” When he began to ask who she was she said “Brittney Spears” he still didn’t know who she was.
THe ipod came back when she said she wanted some music. THe song she found after he showed her how to use it was not her but a song she took and did her own (crappy) version of.
I hop this clarifys things.
Wait, your dad’s boss listens to Bobby Brown!
I initially red “get a life’s” post as saying she was now weighing -74 lbs with -%17 body fat. That’s a pretty amazing week of weight loss!
what a greasy ass broad, she looks like someone slapped her with some crisco..screw her working out..send the heifer to a dermatologist…and she still looks like she smells! She probably left a trail of funk walkin; away from dude..!!!
!!!whewf!!! **imagining the stench**
I used to work for John Seargent, and he’s nice. That’s all.
Britney is not a babe…at all!
