Death Cab For Cutie

We've been so obsessed with K-Fed's laughable rap career, we forgot about his superstar wife and their new baby, whose life is apparently in danger.

Front page news on the Post...

...though admittedly trumped by nude Scarlett Johansson (NSFW).

According to the Spears article (Nitwit Brit Endangers Her Baby), Brit Brit drove her SUV two miles down the Pacific Coast Highway, changing lanes (presumably blasting "Popozao") .. with little Sean Preson on her lap! It's the Post, though -- level of truthiness TBD.

Pic below via The Superficial.

UPDATE 3:15 PM: Britney's defense:

"I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."
Um, OK. But wasn't there a bodyguard in the passenger seat?

I'd actually BUY K-Fed's record (hell, ten copies!! list price!!!) to have been at that photo shoot.

Oh thank goodness that's Tom Ford on the VF cover. I was afraid it was Jeremy Piven. That guy doesn't deserve such richness. I hate Jermey Piven.

I miss the old Britney from 1999-2001 when it was easier to pretend she was a robot and not capable of making ridiculous, life threatening decisions.

What the pictures do not show is that Britney needs her baby to operate the pedals while she steers.

Is there some way to manipulate the information in this post in such a fashion as to warrant a perjorative comment about Death Cab For Cutie? Because otherwise, it just doesn't feel like Stereogum.

Wonder what other actresses they asked who refused to be on the cover...
Reese Witherspoon? Natalie Portman?

Well yeah, but Rachel McAdams was topless in some old movie, so what's she getting all shy about now?
And Britney, if you hit the brakes real hard, would your child go head-first into the steering wheel, or the windshield? Maybe both!

I've seen piss-poor folk go out and buy baby seats for their youngins. In case of a major accident, little K-fed Jr. would have been smashed against the steering wheel and smothered to death by his mother's boobies.

Forget about major accident, the kid could have been really injured in a minor accident. It makes me wonder whether child stars are getting adequate home schooling.

I love her excuse. Because, you know, once you're in a car, you're invincible from the paparazzi. No one has ever been killed in a car accident caused by them.

We'll as long as you guys have your comments thing open to the public, you're gonna have to expect it. Especially, I mean if you want to turn into a joke blog, that's totally awesome. You post funny things some times. But next time you want to act like you guys are cool by posting some mp3 the "next big hip" record then don't expect that you're gaining any crediblity. Every time you post stuff like this it seems like you care less and less about what is actually substantial and more about being girls and just following everyone elses' lead. I get a feeling from all of this that you're not really interested in the music you post but rather the comments it gets and getting bigger. It feels superficial and it discredits the actual music you post sometimes. Just like, "Oh by the way we're hip, check out the new YYYs..." But whatever. I'm not trying to be mean. Stereogum 4Ever!!!

They coulda thought of a better headline for the Dunkin' Donuts death.

Maybe something catchy, like

"Time to make the ... MURDER"

Or

"Sprinkled, glazed, or DEAD?"

Well, since indie music is the anti-pop to me, I don't mind the occasional post that is ANTI-POP. Poking at Federdouches is fine with me while I get my YYY fix.

Eh, she's probably a good driver. I'd trust her. Between her tits and the airbag, the baby probably would've had enough padding in the event of an accident anyway.

The appreciation of K-Fed, Brit, LiLo, et al and decent (call it indie, if you have to) music are NOT mutually exclusive. (It's like a yin-yang thing, yo.)

Stereogum: Don't ever give up on the PopoZao.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing more Carrrot Top coverage.

Off-Topic, but...

Has anyone seen the video for "Poney Part 1" by Vitalic? There was a link to it from Pitchfork and I thought it was amazingly bizarre and one of the best music videos I've seen in a really long time.

wrong. my little sister is 28 and i distinctly remember fucking with her car seat during my, "i want to be an only child again, damnit"-phase back in '78. Fords had a method of child-restraint in the '20s, i believe. so if by new, you mean several decades, then...sure.
