Trucker Cap Sales Skyrocket In Louisiana ... "I Hope You Can Handle It"

Britney Spears buys a "Do Me" cap at a gas station near her hometown of Kentwood. (Thanks Jon.)

Meanwhile, this week's OK Magazine reveals Britney's intention to be more involved in updating her website:

"I wrote a letter to all my fans that I think they need to read. We are going to put it on the website. It's called The Letter Of Truth: I Hope You Can Handle It. It is the most amazing letter I have ever written. It was a life changing letter for me and I just want my fans to read it. Instead of my mom doing [the website] weekly, I will do it weekly. It really states where I am at in my life right now. It is making closure with a lot of things and I think this is my ultimate truth. I owe it to my fans, they need to read it. It will explain any questions they have ever had, it will explain everything. I was hesitant at first. I saw a play in NY called Wicked - it really inspired me to write it. It was the most amazing play. It was life changing for me."
If you want to read The Letter Of Truth you have to join Brit's fan club. No, I am not a member.

UPDATE: You can thank Eliza and Jess for guilt-tripping me into becoming member #195410 of the Britney Spears fan club. Here's the scoop: "Britney is putting the finishing touches on an exclusive posting for the fan club site which will be put up tomorrow. All fans, stay tuned!" So check back here tomorrow, jackanapes!

Wicked? What -- did Joey McIntyre somehow make her realize she can be a star 4-eva?

Brit Brit is going to enlighten us to the truth of which she speaks of at the beginning of my prerogative...

"people can take everything away from you, but they can never take away your truth, but the question is...can you handle mine?"

...bring it my white trash sister!

Scott, what does this membership include? Do you get an autographed pic? A discarded cigarette butt? A keychain with an image of her canoodling with her hubby? What? Nike shoelaces? Huh? I am DYING to know.

Surely, she jests. Why on earth would anyone pay anything to join anyone's fan club? Especially since we all know that whatever she writes will be available on the net eventually, even without Stereogum Scott joining!

Sheeit, I don't pay $24.95 for jeans! I sure as hell ain't gonna drop a dime on ol' scuzbag and her scuzbeau!

Since she has been showing signs of slippage in the public eye prior to the Federline cock sucking incident on the hotel balcony, i'm beginning to think this whole trashy Britney fascade is a PR stunt.

Notice how she's ramped up public appearances in places like Blockbuster & 7/11 looking as disheveled & as cracked out as possible. I'm sure Britney has more $$$ than fellow wacko Mariah Carey, and Mariah's stylist LIVES IN HER EFFIN CLOSET! I bet Britney too has a stylist gnome that lives behind her shelves of Uggs.

Only $25 for full access to Brit Brit? Dang y'all! That's one helluva bargain, considering the Duran Duran fanclub is $35 and trust me, it's nowhere near as entertaining as Britworld is made out to be.

My guess is that she feels the need to come clean about all her sordid little lies, like ditching her tour, her shotgun wedding, envy of the success of the other blond divas, and her desire to stop singing (er, lipsincing) and be a fat backwoods trailer park mamma for a while.

But then who will employ her family? And will her gold digging sleaze stay with her when the fame runs out?

I'm sure it'll be amazing. Ya, just like, totally amazing. The same way that Broadway play 'Wicked' was amazing. And just how amazing is your fanclub? Is it, oh I dunno... amazing???

Okay Britney, I won't pay to go on your site, but for GOD'S SAKE,
Let me you a new frickin' adjective for Christmas!!

If all of you dont care about what she's all about, how come you guys take the time to know so much about her, and spend so much time making comments? Haters. Britney You fucken Rock!
