Welcome to the boards, **Ola Diger** (or should that be **REAL GOD I**?) Clearly you’re going to fit in just fine. ---

The thought of Britney together with George Costanza, if only for a few days, just brightens my day! 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor \*Her voice is so heavily re-processed that, in the early recordings, you can hear a background buzz from the equipment. \*\* Hell, _I_ get a pretty good background buzz from her equipment… Oh, you’re talking about her _musical_ equipment? Never mind… ---

It’s all down hill from here, **Ola Diger**. 🙂 As for Britney, its all PR. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by TartPops \* > \*\*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.\*\* 1. Gabor and De Alba were not legally married because old Sari was still married to the most recent of her many husbands. 2. All the articles I can find on Givens and Marinkovic state that they “separated” the same day that they were wed. Did the annullment take place less than 24 hours after the ceremony (I know a divorce would take more time.) If not, this statistic is just looking at how long Givens and Marinkovic spent living as man and wife. So, how much time did Spears and Alexander spend playing house? ---
