She's such a wholesome young girl... That's the end of her 2nd marriage right? Did I miss one?

The K-Fed is certainly no Nick Leshay, I am no fan of rap but when I heard a bit of his stylings I thought it was Man-Cow making a joke, but it was really him. I cannot believe this person will ever do anything as significant as being Mr. Brittney Spears. He was a fool to put the development of his non existant talent ahead of making her happy and raising their kids. What an idiot.

I think it's very sad that people were "counting down" to the end of their marriage. I've seen that on several boards now, and I can't help but think that if we had higher expectations of Hollywood marriages they might last longer.

I can't imagine much surprise in the fact that a culture chock-full of preening sybarites with lavish lifestyles and constant adoration happens to have a poor track record with the institution of marriage.
Part of it, though, is lurid bias. We never hear about succesful marriages, we only concentrate on the steady supply of failed ones.

I have no sympathy. They had a TV show, for the love o' pete. Which means at some point they *at least* had to have said, "okay, come invade our private lives, fine with us," and for sure they weren't doing it out of financial necessity. I agree, Sterling, that relationships are strained by being public entertainment (look at the Beatles, in a purely platonic way), but these two were asking for it.

Seriously marrying him regardless of whether they genuinely were in love has been poison for her career.
Not that she should put her career over a family, but judging her from what I can see, she is leaving Kevin because he is not as in love with her as she was with him.

Yes, K-fed . . . such a catch . . . his girlfriend (I believe she was not an ex at the time) was pregnant when he and Britney got together . . . so he broke up with her . . . classy. I just want another Toxic, I love that song.
" . . . I'm addicted to you don't you know that you're toxic . . "

He and the Spears clan used to stop by our movie theatre. She smoked in the parking lot barefoot while he bought daiquiris, always keeping one hand on his pants because they kept trying to fall down.
I was going to get pictures next time and take myself shopping with the sale to the tabloids.
They were such an entertaining bunch. *sigh*
Though I am waiting for the marriage amendment that bans her from ever getting married again. Those worried about the sanctity of marriage should sit her down for a chat.

Thank you for posting this. I've been dying to talk about it since Tuesday.
Matt's take: He's impressed that Britney has managed to live the life of uneducated poor white despite being a multi-millionaire.
My take: I think she's not terribly bright, but I just want the best for her. I think she wanted to be loved, and I can't fault her for that. I also think she's emotionally very young. I hope this will lead to some growing up for her. I really do want her to be happy.

I always wondered what a man's face looks like when he sees his free ride pull away. Maybe he can get a job from Kato.

Quick! Everybody protect the sanctity of marriage!
Seriously, this was just a three-ring circus from the start. I wonder which parent would be better for the kids to live with?

Not necessarily. But I have to admit that I find it very hard to muster any interest in Britney Spears' life, much less her well-being. I wish her well in general, since she's a random member of the human race, but I can't imagine taking an actual interest in her welfare.

People care about whether or not Veronica Mars makes good choices. Britney is at least more real than that.

They care about Veronica Mars for entertainment reasons, which is okay to do because she's fictional entertainment. Since Britney isn't fictional, I'm uneasy about using the events in her life for my own entertainment purposes in a way that I am not uneasy about, say, using Captain Picard's.

I kind of want everyone to be happy, but for the most part people are addicted to making their lives difficult. I wish they'd stop that. Hopefully she'll find a nice man and no one will talk about them because I don't care and I'm sure she doesn't enjoy seeing unflattering pictures of her in tabloids if she does go to the store disguised.

I think wishing someone well in specific as opposed to in general usually requires some emotional investment in their wellbeing.

I'm totally with Katie on this one. I mean, obviously no one is wasting their lives worrying about this pair, but what good does it do to wish bad things on Britney? I'd really rather see most people happy than not.

Tom covered why he thinks it's different to wish someone well in a general sense, as a fellow human, and to specifically say, "I hope Britney finds a nice man."

Yeah, except I don't think it's a sin to be able to pick Britney out from the rest of the fellow humans. My neighbor isn't in People magazine.

It may have already been said, but I think this thread title sounds like a drink that would get you really drunk in one sip, on ice.

You've all made points, laughed and ridiculed or defended and wished well for this hurting young couple.
You've considered the possible horrors that the children face.
You've done all of this, and yet not one of you have dared to uphold the sacred Hatrack tradition.
Not one.
Well, it has to be said.
And I'm the one to say it.
"Ooops, she did it again."
(Yes, that tradition I am upholding is the tradition of making the worst, most obvious, possible joke as often as possible)

I laughed aloud at this title, because kefe (kehfeh) is Hawaiian for the F word, and modern local slang lets you use this as a past tense verb, "kefe'd."
Okay, it was funnier in my head.

What is your point, JT? I wish for you to be happy and I know less about you than I do about Britney. Do you also find that reprehensible?
