12-Step Program For Britney's Recovery

Hate to start Friday morning with the heavy questions ... but can you believe how quickly Brit squandered every ounce of good will she accrued in the week after her divorce? Does it not awe you to think that, somehow, Kevin is coming out of the Fedivorce looking classy by comparison? Our heads hurt. Well, MTV has some Spears suggestions -- a dozen, in fact, just like AA. Guess that makes thirteen. Anyway, go here for the list. Or, on the off chance you don't feel like being yelled at by John Norris, read it below:

01. Don't hang out with Paris Hilton
02. Don't chew gum or smoke in public
03. Do ditch the dollar-store extensions
04. Do show off musical talent
05. Do update the website
06. Do get a publicist
07. Do wear designer clothes
08. Do consider a sleigh ride with Mr. Rudolph this Christmas
09. Do work with Pharrell and/or Timbaland
10. Do reach out to Max Martin
11. Don't try to one-up Kevin
12. Do stay away from Las Vegas
Betcha can think of another "Public Don't" for Brit. (Hint: vajayjay) If you've got some more "do"s and "don't"s, feel free to lay 'em on us. (Another hint: She's hopeless.)

Stop using gas station restrooms.

Walking around barefoot is kind of tacky too, can you find some slippers or shoes perhaps?

do dissapear for a few years and then make a reappearance on a vh1 celeb-reality show 87 pounds overweight.

and seriously - "do show off musical talent"??? the only talent she ever had was looking cute and those days are long gone.

#4 -- MUSICAL TALENT???? That's never gonna happen because Brit has NONE. Certainly never has had any since she was on Star Search. She CANNOT sing anymore...her voice is a shambles, and it's evident even with great production. (Case in point, you need to hear Cathy Dennis' demo of "Toxic" to hear someone with a normally good voice sing that song..then hear Brit. She's a wreck.) She's relegated to showing her vagina and going out with other Hollywood whores.

If only that car crashed with Lindsey, Paris and Britney all inside....
