She claims to have had arthroscopic surgery on her knee to remove torn cartilage. I felt sympathetic because I had to have the same thing. Then, a mere two or three weeks later, I saw her on Total Request Live -- without crutches or a chair or anything. You say, "They had that ready off-camera." OK, for the video intros. But how about the interview? "She put her weight on one leg." Not for that long! I tried to make a sandwich once standing on one leg, and it turned purple. I couldn't feel it. There's no way she could have stood there for a ten, or even five minute interview. Then, a couple weeks after that, she was on TRL again on that boat for Spring Break. Granted, she was sitting on a lawn chair -- but with her leg bent. Uh-uh. You can bend it somewhat after that long, but not that much. Not to mention that her leg was not swollen either time. It remains swollen for about a month, month and a half, and goes down gradually. Miracle drainage? I think not. She's lying. But the most convincing evidence: Watch the "...Baby One More Time" video, then watch the new one ("Sometimes", I think). If that's not a boob job, that's a heck of a Wonderbra. But why would a seventeen-year-old want a boob job? Why do they need one? And what sane parents would let their teenage daughter get a boob job? Oh wait, I can answer all of my own questions: Britney Spears is a talentless poser whose only assets are her looks (She even had to get those enhanced: Not only her boobs, but hair extensions, highlights, a new wardrobe, professional makeup artists and stylists, etc...) She got a boob job to further her career, and her parents are exploiting their daughter because they (and she) knows that she'll be a washed-up has-been at age nineteen and, of course, they need money to retire with. And guess what song just came on the radio? "Sometimes I run, Sometimes I hide, Sometimes I'm scared of you." Is that what she's warbling? I better end this now before I go off on the ridiculousness of her lyrics. But "baby, baby, how was I supposed to know?"
My extensive Britney Spears knowledge is credited to a 12-year-old sister, that I read teen magazines, and the fact that I'm a TRL junkie. What else is there to do from 3:30 to 4:30 on weekdays? Homework?
