Jan.09.2008 Writing about Britney Spears is hard
Granted, maybe my nose for news is a bit off when I think monkeys paying for sex is the greatest thing I’ve ever read, but surely this article on Entertainment Tonight about Britney Spears faking a British accent is the greatest story ever told, right?
Sources tell ET that BRITNEY SPEARS spoke with a British accent during her stay at Cedars-Sinai hospital last Friday. While DR. PHIL wouldn’t comment on that during our exclusive interview with him, he did say that the troubled pop star needs to be in treatment.
“She needs to be in in-patient care for a period of time,” he advises. “Is she having a rough time right now? Yes, she is. Why? I’m not really going to go into that at this point. But I can tell you this is a good person and I truly believe she’ll get back to being a good person.”
I really just wanted to point out that this article might be the worst thing ever written in the history of anything. You tease me with something about Britney speaking with a British accent then give me nothing else? That’s not reporting. That’s being a c*cktease. Which makes me want to hit Entertainment Tonight in the head with a brick and have my way with it. Fortunately, WWTDD has something on this from US Magazine:
It isn’t the first time she changed her voice. On December 17, she spoke in the same accent while chatting with photographers outside the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
What does it mean?“She’s having identity issues,” NYC-based psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig tells Usmagazine.com.
“What it definitely says is she doesn’t really like being where she’s at — there’s probably a part of her that wants to escape who she is really is,” Ludwig says, adding that Spears is “in an adolescent mode of thinking … [she’s] trying on different personas to see what feels good and works for her.”
Britney’s pretty clever. Now, when paparazzi see her, she’ll put on her brilliant British accent, no doubt learned from countless hours of research in England. Or perhaps ten minutes watching Casino Royale. Either way, when she puts on the accent, there’s no doubt that everyone around her will be like, “Wow where did Britney go? It would appear she’s been replaced by Bridget Jones.” Pretty slick if you ask me.
