It’s beautifully appropriate that the link you provided on the first page is to a website called “The Superficial.”
Heh, well, that’s where all the good gossip is! And how else do we view our celebrities if not on a superficial level? We don’t actually know them, so it’s impossible to make an accurate assessment of their real personality. It’s much easier to pick apart photos and other silly shit.
(At least I can concede to someone else’s point instead of explaining further why I don’t like looking at Brit’s pieces. )
Actually, when i said it was appropriate, i was comparing the title of the website with the content of your posts in this thread.
Oh, so you’re calling me superficial? Gotcha. :rolleyes: Pretty sad when you can’t even talk about vapid celebrities without getting criticized. Count me in with the millions of people who take celebrity gossip as entertainment and a laugh, nothing more. I don’t think Britney’s pretty, oh how horrible I must be.
I think it’s a lot more clever than that. If she took Playboy up on their offer, she’d earn multi-millions now, but the parents who buy her CDs for their teenagers wouldn’t, any more. Her future earning potential would plummet. With something like this, though, she gets nearly as much publicity as she would from a Playboy shoot, but she can still claim it was accidental, to placate the parents. Yeah, it’s a pretty thin claim, but then, so is “I wear skintight leather onstage because it’s comfortable”, and folks bought that one. Not, mind you, that I’m claiming that Ms. Spears herself is this clever, just that her handlers are.
And I’m one of those, incidentally, who thinks that she’s well below the 50th percentile in appearance. The problem isn’t her features, or her body, or for that matter, her nether regions (which look about how one would expect, given the pose and camera angle). The problem is that she hardly ever smiles. Sure, I’ll notice great breasts, or great legs, or a great butt, but all of those pale in importance compared to a great smile.
Chronos, I doubt many parents or kids do buy her CDs nowadays-she hasn’t had an album out in years, and these days, Britney is going the way of Debbie Gibson and New Kids on the Block.
Britney’s fan base was 12-15 when she came out in 1998. I was one of them.
Now I’m 20. I prefer my entertainment slightly more adult than when I was 12-15. Sure, I’m sure she’s got some young fans still, but I’d imagine most of them grew up with her.
Oh, I should note: I also am adult enough that I wouldn’t stop buying her CDs if she flashed her cooch or posed in Playboy. Heaven knows I’d even go out and buy the issue.
Of course, all of this stems from my horrible taste in music
Come to South Africa. It’s a Khoikhoi … errmmm…speciality, I can attest:

You know, when she was jailbait, I never really saw the appeal of her. As she got older, I still didn’t care. When I saw the “stoner” clip of her on Youtube, I realized that if I was alone with her on a tropical island, I’d rather poke a hole in a coconut, stuff it full of bananas and screw that. The vage shots don’t do anything to change my opinion. Britney’s not hideous, but she benefits greatly from plastic surgery, make up, and professional trainers. Give me someone who doesn’t spend the bulk of their time and money trying to cover up their flaws/getting in shape, and has a brain, any day,
Hear, hear !!
Count me in as someone who thinks Britney is not an attractive woman at all.
She has a great body when she is in peek condition and she has great hair stylists and makeup artists, but under all that is an ugly, dumb girl.
And no, I don’t hate Britney.
I’m pretty indifferent to Britney, but in fairness, I’ve got to say that she wasn’t the one who chose to spend most of her time and money fixing up her looks, her mom was. Well, her mom spent both her time and Brit’s, and Brit’s money, but you see what I’m saying. As soon as she could get clear of that woman, it was all Red Bull, Cheetos, bare feet and Federline.
I don’t think she’s ugly, I think she’s utterly average looking. And yeah, dumb as a post. And completely lacking in taste or class. But I do have some sympathy for the girl, because I think she’s been pretty horribly exploited by almost everyone who *should * have been watching out for her.
None of this, of course, excuses the crotch shots, let alone the fact that she appears to have picked through Lil Kim’s trash for that bag of hair.
Hypocrisy? I seem to be only one of two posters here who happen to think Britney’s bits looked dangly and I would like to see where it is this hypocrisy comes into play. Are you suggesting I covert dangly bits privately while decrying them publicly?
How am I setting off your BS meter? Are you saying that I actually think her bits look normal in that picture and I’m lying when I say they look weird to me?
Because I could be wrong but I’m not lying nor being a hypocrit.
p-e-A-k. Of course, she’s in peek condition, too.
Hey guys, It’s a minge!.
They come in all shapes, sizes and various colours.
I’d still give her one anyway, then again I’m not a picky bloke
As a man who’s examined thousands of vaginas in my career as a family physician, I have to say this thread is filled with a lot of wrong ideas about what is normal and what is not.
DianaG has it right.
Anyone who thinks her “handlers” talked her into waving her wee-woo in front of the paparazzi is reading way too much into this IMO. I just can’t accept that it was planned.
I’ve never gotten the hype about BS’s looks. She’s not ugly, but she’s not HAWT!!!1, either. On a good day she looks like someone you’d see at the mall in any predominately white college town. Got the generic cutes that come with youth and money, but not the kind of beauty that I imagine would incite suicidal envy or lightning bolts ala The Godfather, when Michael was sequestered in Italy.
Isn’t this kind of par for the course for most girls in Britney’s early and current fanbase, the ones who are around 20 and in college right now? I mean, isn’t it kind of en vogue to be flashing one’s rudebits for whatever digital imaging device that happens to be around? Or otherwise taking sexy and provocative photos for Interweb posting? Seems to be part of your generation’s culture.
Maybe this will actually endear her to her fanbase… see, she’s just like us, you go girl! (I could be wrong, though.)
or maybe I’m wrong.
Just a guess, but I assume he was referring to the comments about her “rolls of fat”. You know as well as anyone that anytime someone even remotely picks on someone else’s weight around here, the cries of “But s/he could have a thyroid condition!” are deafening.
