Spears marriage shatters long standing record

They said it couldn’t be done…it was a record that would stand for the ages…but with luck and determination two young people from Louisiana have shown that nothing is impossible. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander have broken the record for the shortest celebrity marriage - no, at 55 hours, they have shattered it.

Of course, I do not mean to belittle the accomplishment of Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips. Their eight day marriage in 1970 set a standard that held for decades. Even the two attempts in 1998 by Robert Evans and Catherine Oxenberg and Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman fell short. Many were saying it couldn’t be done - starry-eyed romance and enhanced community property laws meant that no celebrity would ever break the one week marriage barrier.

But no one told that to Ms Britney Spears. Having recorded three number one albums without having any musical talent showed that this former Mousketeer didn’t know the meaning of the word “impossible”.

Who knows what the future may bring? Can we now say that, prepared by pre-filed legal writs, the twenty four celebrity marriage is unobtainable? And perhaps in the years to come, computerized legal systems will enable celebrities to file for divorces during the actual marriage ceremonies and we will measure the length of celebrity marriages in seconds and minutes not days and hours. But for now, we can only marvel at this triumph of the human spirit.

Britney Spears, we salute you.

Publicity Stunt?

No, more like drunk redneck stunt.

All her youthful beauty, all her charisma, her celebrity, her (ahem) talent, her success cannot hide the fact that she’s still a redneck…

All you have to do is listen to her talk for a minute or two.

But, heck, I’d still consummate that union, even if I could only do it for 55 hours.

Imagine when Jason gets back to college and his buddies ask “so dude, do anything interesting on break?”

The twenty-four hour marriage has been beaten by Rudolph Valentino and Jean Acker whose marriage lasted six hours!

Jason: Nah, not really. Had a thing with some chick, but it didn’t last.

Jason: Nah, not really. Had a thing with some chick, but it didn’t last.

I had the shortest marriage to a celebrity, just that no-one noticed :frowning:

Sure, they may have seperated after only six hours, but how long did the divorce proceedings take? The Spears-Alexander marriage was actually legally ended within 55 hours.

Hard to believe you managed to do it, but you got none of the facts correct in your post.

None of them.

That says a lot considering that this message board and website are about dispelling ignorance, not promoting it.

Where to start?

How about with your endless blatting about Spears and Alexander having the shortest celebrity marriage at 55 hours.

Not even close to the record, which is shared by two couples: 1) Zsa Zsa Gabor and Felipe De Alba who were married for one day back in 1982 and 2) Robin Givens and Syetozar Marinkovic, also married for one day back in August 1997.

Now on to your claim of Britney Spears having 3 #1 albums despite having no musical talent.

She has 4 #1 albums, not 3, as a two minute search on Google would show, but apparently getting actual facts to back up your statements isn’t a big priority for you.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And the fact that she has 4 #1 albums utterly refutes your claim that she has no musical talent as does the fact that she was a former Mouseketeer.

Despite whatever delusions you seem to have about it, not anybody can walk off the street and become a Mouseketeer, one has to go through a fairly serious and tough audition process. Disney doesn’t hire no-talents for their shows either on tv or in the them parks. If they had done so, there wouldn’t be a Disney.

Whoa, TartPops sure has an axe to grind, it must be Britney herself! :open_mouth:

No, I’m just sick and tired of posters like Little Nemo posting things which are blatently untrue and then trying to pass them as factual.

This message board is supposed to help fight ignorance, but posters like Little Nemo do nothing but spread ignorance and we can do without their ilk here, thank you very much.

2 days, nine posts and already taking a shot at a well established poster. Welcome to the boards TartPops.

HA! I’ve been a member for four years and am still quite an ignorant sonofabitch!

TartPops, one piece of advice: pick your battles. If someone claims Spain is a Communist dictatorship, get mad. If someone claims the Sun orbits the Earth, get angry. If someone claims the Earth is 6000 years old, demand cites.

On the other hand, if someone makes a light-hearted post about Britney Spears, recognize it for what it is, post your opinion, and move on.

The post wasn’t exactly a doctoral thesis. Nothing to get upset about.

So she has four number 1 albums. I’ll trust you. Does that somehow mean that she doesn’t have three number 1 albums? I’d say the former actually requires the latter.

But if she’d only had three of them, that claim would still stand? This is opinion.

She was a former Mouseketeer? And now she is, what, a former former Mouseketeer?

Who’s the singer of that crap they play on MTV?
B-R-I! T-N-E! Y-S-L-U-T!
Whose recording output proves she’s truly talent-free?
B-R-I! T-N-E! Y-S-L-U-T!

Britney Spears, Britney Spears
Why is this redneck a celebrity?

Calling her an actress costs you credibility
B-R-I! T-N-E! Y-S-L-U-T!
Just to get the gig she must’ve sucked a cock or three
B-R-I! T-N-E! Why … Ess … Ell … You … Teeeeeeee!
Britney Spears!

That’s not a sign of talent. That’s a sign of a good publicist and a whole lot of slutty outfits. :wink:

Who gives a fuck how long she’s been on the board? The only matter we should consider is which one has the facts straight.

Gotta back ya, 'lamb.

Her “singing” is the worst noise since Great-Uncle Fred ran the yodeling cowboy feet first through a wood chipper.

Her voice is so heavily re-processed that, in the early recordings, you can hear a background buzz from the equipment.

Of course, for those og us who routinely run things through the anagram generator to find out what’s really in a name, her short lived marriage comes as no suprise:

BRITNEY SPEARS = BEST PR IN YEARS
