Referring to her twice as “the pop tart” in consecutive paragraphs is just bad writing.

Not to mention, derogatory to actual pop tarts.

Not really. It means that if they get divorced, we get to call Britney “Fed’s Ex”  
You may now groan.

K-Fed? Sounds like a place you shop at, not marry.

I don’t care if she does or doesn’t, I lost, I had 2 months in the pool. :mad:

I didn’t even know she was married.

…

Do you think some other, vital bit of information which might have saved my life was just deleted to make room for that?

Its a shame how most here could see what a winner he was. I gues young women need to develop more discernment about men before getting serious; more so if they are famous. Maybe Kevin will hook up with Jessica Simpson. ha!

Not to mention the two young kids he already had with a previous girlfriend. This guy needs a vasectomy as a divorce present.

I agree, especially since there are so many other terms that would be appropriate.
