I, for one, thought you meant the _other_ Jason Alexander–especially given your username.

So does anybody know what the over/under is on how long Britney’s second marriage of 2004 will last?

Yeah, I figured we were supposed to start praying that he might actually have a succesful sitcom this time.

I bet that she is pregnant and will love him eternally until at least September of next year.

I too was wondering what Britney had to do with the fat guy\* from Seinfeld …

- “Fat” being a description, not a dis. I happen to like big guys, if you must know.

New **step** mommy, and Mommy with the capital-M and the uterus of record is pissed. Apparently she had no notice that her child was going to be on the cover of People magazine a couple of weeks ago and is not thrilled with the compromise of his security. Britney has also never met the second child, the one who was born _after_ Mr. Federline proposed.

Were I Shar Jackson, I’d be on the phone to an attorney first thing in the A.M. to ensure that serial-poptart-bride never ever gets any unsupervised time with my children so long as I drew breath on the planet.

Why? Is she some kind of child molester? Or do you think the child might become a brainless poptart just through occasional contact?

I say the **SPTB** celebrates New Year’s Eve newly singled and ends up married to an Elvis Impersonator at the Drive Thru Chapel of Love in Vegas by sunup.
