If she really did fake her own wedding, then all I can say is, god help her and god help us. I now declare Britney to have NO BUZZ. YAWN. What a pathetic spectacle.

Le Tigre track was cool. Streamed it last night finally.

the best part about the whole fake report is how they ate chicken fingers, crab cakes and hamburgs while music played from the boombox.

that is, if it's true that it's fake.

if that really is true then it's still cool, but not as cool.

damn, could Brit Brit be more cunning than we thought?

Britney did not fake her wedding... saw this on the Today show this morning. They moved the wedding up from a date in October because everyone was finding out about it. The only problem with that was the marriage license wasn't scheduled to be filed until October. So they had the wedding ceremony over the weekend, but the license won't be filed until a later date.

My money's on it was "faux."

Only in our dreams would this really have been her wedding... reality isn't that sweet!

Or could it be that her mom went apeshit crazy, like she did after Britsypoo's last wedding, and is now forcing her to recant this wedding as well?

Either way, I don't really care. This is nothing but light entertainment for me while I do other things.

Floating around:

She got married earlier because she's a media whore and wanted to get a Newlywed's show by this fall.

In most states, don't you have to file a marriage license FIRST and then get married? You file the license, get married, the officiant signs the license and sends it back to the courthouse, in that order. If Britney didn't file the license first, then the ceremony makes no difference, she will still have to get married again (with a justice of the peace, minister, judge, Joey from friends, whatever).

it sounds sort of legit, but the CNN story said Federline's 2-year-old daughter wasn't there because she was at Disneyland that day and if they changed her Disney visit, it would tip the press off. who the hell would be paying attention if the kid planned to go to Disneyland or not? I smell conspiracy.

If Britney masterminded this wedding hoax, she needs to go work for the neocons in the Bush Administration.

In California, you don't have to file your marriage license first. The ceremony's not necessary, either. All you have to do is sign the license (both of you, of course) and have it signed by someone with the power to officiate a marriage. It's not hard to become a justice of the peace in this state (I know several, none of whom are priests, rabbis, authority figures or paritcularly religious) and a lot of counties don't even require that (in San Diego county, you can become "deputy marriage commisioner for a day" for a mere $50--only good for one marriage). Anyway, Britney's not legal yet, because the marriage only really starts to "count" once the license is filed. This does not mean, however, that the wedding was a sham. It's actually pretty common for people (especially lazy people) to wait before they file. Now you DO have a limited period of 90 days between the date on the license and the time you file it. So Britney has about 86 days to "lose" the license and dump Kevin like a hot brick. You can do it, Brit!

Obviously Britney suffers from a bad case of low self-esteem. I mean, she hasn't set he standards very high when it comes to men.. Instead she chose to marry a broke dude who already fathered two elligit kids and who only has some pathetic low paid jobs in his resumé: deliver boy, car-washer....She.s so desperate that she even pays him a monthly allowance so he can but some new jeans and some new sneakers at Footlocker. She also agreed on a prenup that is gonna make this average dude a millionaire someday. As soon as he gets tired of fuckin her ass, he'll heave her and will rush to the bank to receive a couple of hundred grands guaranteed. This is probably gonna be his biggest payday ever.

Was it real or not?!?!?! IF not, I want my money back from People for buying their magazine.

If it was real, Britney is an idiot and has no respect for marriage or for herself.

If it was fake, then it was kinda funny that she pulled a fast-one on everyone. But she still has no respect for marriage or herself.

I think that Britney had a right to fake her wedding. Regardless of who she is marrying. Everyone needs to just let it go. If she did fake it she did,if she didnt then she didnt.Does it really make a difference.

Britney is Married - Suprise Wedding

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline pulled a sly one on everyone by saying "I Do" at what was supposed to be an engagement party and not even Brit's own mother, Lynne, was in on the stunning surprise.
It all happened Saturday night, Sept. 18, 7:30 p.m, at the relatively modest Studio City, Ca. home owned by the tailor, who had custom-made Beverly Hills Pimps and Ho's jumpsuits for the groom and all the men in the wedding.
Only 20 immediate family members - including Britney's shocked mom and sister Jamie Lynn. Britney wore a strapless white dress by designer Monique L'Huillier, with long veil and tiara, and she carried a bouquet of pink and white roses. Kevin suited up in black tux. Five bridesmaids and a maid of honor all wore burgundy and carried red roses.
Guests dined on chicken fingers, crab cakes, ribs, Waldorf salad, and the newlyweds danced to Journey's City by the Bay.
Britney gave Kevin a platinum ring with diamonds, and she got a platinum band.
The actual ceremony lasted but five minutes. "He was crying, she was crying," a source says. "It was beautiful."

Britney spears is a Hoe!!the only reason she 'married' that loser is because shes knocked up!! all the signs are there, the dying of her hair from blonde to brunette, cause bleaching your hair while you are pregnant isnt good for the unborn child. that bulging stomach of hers, and those pictures of that acne cream on her face, something to do with changing hormones causes her to break out.
now 7 years ago, she was a sweet little innocent 16 year old, now shes that whore that had to copy christina and get dirrty just so that people would listen to her music!!
And she said she was gonna stay a virgin!! hah!!
