You can see a copy of the marriage license, dated Jan 3, on [The Smoking Gun](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/) 's website. It’s their featured link of the day today (Jan. 4), so it’s right up there on their homepage. ---

Do you think he dipped his bald head and oil and rubbed it all over her body? ---

Annulment time already? At least he can forever refer to Brittany Spears as his “first wife” now. ---

good thing they’re both straight or the sanctity of marriage might have been violated. ---

To me, what is so incredibly sad about this whole thing is… She wouldn’t have had to trick me into marraige just to get me to sleep with her. Come on, honey, I’m easier than that! ---

Jason Alexander’s real name is Jay Scott Greenspan. And he has been married for years to a really good looking woman. I agree, he did do much better than Brittany. ---

Too pathetic for words. She has officially made the jump from ‘mildly annoying celebrity’ to ‘celebrity A-hole.’ ---

(On the phone) “Jerry, George here. Guess who I here? Guess, yea guess…Marissa Tomei, no, no, Brittany Spears. We’re married! What…no Justin Timberhead is not here! Isn’t this great, heeheehee.” Ok, that was bad. Sorry. To be blunt, did that boy get any pussy from Brittany. I mean, it is his honeymoon after all. If I honeymooned with Brittany Spears, there would be cool whip, a camera, narcotics, and a dildo involved. But that’s just me. ---

That’s a major “so what” from me. Whatever makes her happy. She didn’t run over my dog, she didn’t rob my bank account, she made herself looks stoooopid, that’s all. We all do that sometimes, but to do that on purpose is, well… silly. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by interface2x \* > \*\*Annulment time already? At least he can forever refer to Brittany Spears as his “first wife” now. \*\* I thought annunlment, unlike divorce, was the equivilent of saying the marriage wasn’t valid, so they weren’t _really_ married. So he wouldn’t have to tell anyone Britney was his first wife:p [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jason-alexander-weds-britney-spears-in-vegas/222616.md?page=1)
