If anyone else had said it, this would be a pit thread. But this is Britney Spears - the most reality-challenged celebrity who’s not currently facing criminal charges in California. So it’s mundane and pointless and I must share:
“We hit a little bit of reality, hardcore, after the first three weeks. But we handled it fine, and now things are starting to go really smooth. Before we got married we were on tour, and we were just like kids, ordering room service, saying, 'Let’s go out tonight. Then, all of a sudden, you have this home, you have the kids, you have to get the diapers, get the dog to the vet. It’s this reality. Like omigod, I have to tell the maid to buy diapers and get the pool boy to walk the dog? Can’t I just make out with Kevin all the time? Being married sucks.”
If any working mothers feel the need to declare a fatwa on Mrs. Federline, the rest of us will understand.
Yep, an idiot. Everyone knows you hire competent help who knows to walk the dog and buy diapers! Brittney shouldn’t have to worry her pretty little head about that stuff!
They “hit reality, hardcore” after 3 weeks, huh? I remember the ol’ “3 week itch” too.
If they can just make it to 6 months, I hear everything gets easier.
Britney just needs to realize that marriage is a precious thing. I mean she’ll probably only have 4 or 5 more in her whole life, so she’d better make each one count.
I’m reasonably sure that Mr. Federline and Ms. Spears are not actually married. I recall that they never had a marriage ceremony. Most states no longer allow common-law marriages. (California, for one, does not.) Spears can say she’s married all she wants, but unless she’s in a common-law state and meets local requirements, saying it doesn’t make it so.
It’s not clear to me from that linked article whether she actually said that last part or whether the author was being snarky and interpreting Britney’s reality.
Hi, Good Egg, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Let us remember that for every empty-headed shell of a person who was given a million-dollar career instead of a couple of unwanted babies and a substandard apartment, there is one lucky producer with an unfulfilled fetish and a dream. Let us hope that s/he gets what s/he deserves. Check that: let us hope that none of us gets what s/he deserves. I certainly don’t want that.
