Britney: "Kabbalah Is Hard Y'All"

"In her final interview and shoot before giving birth a Britney emerges who is both totally relaxed and in control..."

"I read the Kabbalah books and I meditate on them ... They are all in Hebrew. I don't understand everything. But it's kind of OK that you don't. ... Kevin isn't into it as intensely as I am. For some reason I'm thirsting for it. But he looks at the books every once in a while."
The greatest Britney quote since "I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes and should just support that, you know." She's the anti-Kanye.

She looks likes Courtney Love, with a tad less Car Wreck.

Geez, maybe they could have spent a little more on the wig budget for that photo shoot. It looks like she stole that wig from Carol Channing:

From the Cover:

"Nancy Grace is not afraid to say what you're thinking"

More accurately, it could have read, "Nancy Grace is not afraid to jump on any controversial newsstory like a fat kid on a cupcake and beat it down with her own predjudiced opinions like a dead horse", because the likelihood of me agreeing on anything with that belligerant assbrain is next to fuckin' none.

nancy grace is a southern woman, so she's automatically too dumb to do anything but cook grits and drop babies. and before you say anything in response - shut up. i live down here. i know.

she looks so nice and clean, and...it's not her, is it? honestly, if the cover didn't say Britney Spears, how long would you have to stare at this picture before you found a single feature that made you think it was her?

So I read today how BS is busying herself shopping for a new diamond ring that is less "pokey-outy." Lovely. Has no one else noticed no one has asked her about/she has said nothing about Katrina, but she's from Louisiana? (Not that I have a clue where the hell Kentwood is in relation to New Orleans, but still it's her home state and it's kinda been in the news a bit.) Dumb bitch.

Jen W, did you miss the part where she said she was praying (in Hebrew?) for her fellow Louisians?

would she be buying the new ring herself (again) or has the mister found work?

"He [Kevin] looks at the books every once in a while..."
Pfff! Yeah, as a flat surface to roll his J's on.

And since when did Britney morph into Anna Faris?

Has Elle Magazine covers always been so crowded? Good God, don't give away all your fucking content on a cover otherwise, why pick it up to read it?

Also, Brit's been photoshopped. Her arms are too slender for her body and the head comes off as looking bigger and not in proportion.

I think she looks fine for a change in this picture. I'm digging the hair.

Why ask her to comment on Katrina? After all, she's from a state with incredible musical traditions and yet she performs the most throw-away crap imaginable. She could be from any other state; as a Louisianian myself, I wish she was.

I THINK THE HAIR RUINS IT FOR HER SHE IS GLOWING WHICH I THINK EVERY WOMAN DOES IN THIS STAGE OF HER LIFE. I JUST FEEL SORRY FOR THE FACT THAT SHE HASN'T AWAKENED YET TO THE FACT THAT HER HUBBY IS USING HER FOR FAME?? AND FORTUNE. WAKE UP BRITNEY BEFORE YOU ARE BANKRUPT THEN WHO WILL CARE FOR YOU AND THE NEW BABY? YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH JUSTIN AT LEAST HE HAD SEVERAL THINGS GOING FOR HIM LIKE A JOB/CAREER AND WAS CLEAN AND LOOKED GOOD.

Most of you people must be in high school...no take that back..junior high. Give it a rest already. Leave her alone. She looks cute to me. And to the author. Why did you start this stuff about her hair. Of all the people in the entertainment buisness you always pick on her. What awful thing did she ever say or ever do.

And to the people who think the photo was air brushed. Who cares... Why did you all not say that about the stupid Jessica Simpson who obviously had her butt air brushed. That girl got the flatest ass I ever seen and to look at the pictures of her in the daisy dukes.. give me a break.

I just don't understand the hate and never will. Others get passes but not her. I think its time to find someone else to continually pick on. This has gotten old and time to move on.

You've got to be kidding me, I read the above comments and those that think she looks great, look again. She's never looked good, sounds worse, and is about the biggest idiot in Hollywood. She gives Paris a run for her money!
