Britney Storms Into Mardi Gras

Cheer up New Orleans. Britney Spears has finally come to Katrina victims' rescue. The recent People covergirl took some local girls shopping, threw some beads off a balcony, and spared everyone a Kevin "Peter Butter Jelly" Federline cameo. Even though he begged (it's Phat Tuesday).

Something gives me the feeling Brit Brit won't be venturing outside the French Quarter, but every little celebrity photo op helps right?

I can't wait for the Freedom Float, with George Michael slumped over the side.

The shallow part of me is thinking that she was bribed to take those girls shopping. I don't live very far from her hometown and know many people who know her or are related to her. Girl is as selfish as they come and isn't nice to anyone. I'd be shocked if she had no ulterior motive and did it from her heart *snerk*.

What did Britney do that was nice?? It's not like she went and visited the people who lost their homes to Katrina... She's a fat media whore!

Nice wig she's got on.

Funny story: A couple years ago, a friend of mine got arrested for the same thing George Michael did. He had fallen out on G and was slumped over his steering wheel asleep; but he got lucky because they just assumed he was drunk.

Sad thing is, the cops found Andrew Ridgely passed out in a car nearby, but they didn't give a f*ck and moved on.

fred
i don't like britney at all and yes, she is a media whore, but she did do something nice. she spent the day with some girls who were affected by katrina and she took them shopping. for them it may have meant something. who cares if britney did it for attention or not? but yeah, go back to making fun of her.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Britney Spears spent part of Mardi Gras with a group of students whose lives were upended when Hurricane Katrina devastated the area six months ago.......

I hate pseudo charity, it's so easy to do charity in front of a camera.

She is only doing this 'couse she is desperate to save a "career".

So she is doing something nice so everybody else i know, but people magazine don't care for them...
