You're right... any press is good press.

Col. Tom Parker (Elvis' manager) once said: "Who cares what they say as long as they spell the name right."

"It's BRITNEY, bitch".....lol

It does seem that today scandal sells better than good behavior (poor Mandy Moore).

"It does seem that today scandal sells better than good behavior (poor Mandy Moore)."

It shows how plastic modern society is.
All fake and superficial.

Just one of many good reasons to
Leave the People's Republic of
Kalifornia and move to a real state like
Texas.

Methinks she is borrowing a page from her idol, Madonna's, playbook. Madge's 'Sex' book helped sell the 'Erotica' CD, and her kiss with Ms. Spears at another VMA show helped to propel them both to the front pages.

It's disappointing Spears can't be a little more classy in how she builds up the hype, but yes, in the end, I think you're right. It's the old saying, 'there's no such thing as bad publicity.'

I dunno, Steve. It's not like "classy" was used to describe Madonna in her wild-child phase either... But, yeah, as long as it doesn't involve a dead kid, America will forgive her and keep buying her music.

Pshaw, Morgan. You don't know us well enough. LOL Buck mentions her all the time in his vlog and a quick search shows 18 other posts. *grins* Hey, over here you never know what you'll get!

And quoting Tom Parker, of course (it helps that I'm drinking) reminds me of Dorothy Parker and her many quotable lines (just for fun)

A little bad taste is like a nice dash of paprika.

Brevity is the soul of lingerie.

I don't care what is written about me so long as it isn't true.

I've never been a millionaire but I just know I'd be darling at it.

If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

If wild my breast and sore my pride,
I bask in dreams of suicide,
If cool my heart and high my head
I think "How lucky are the dead.

If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.

The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.

This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment.
Dorothy Parker, 'But the One on the Right,' in New Yorker, 1929

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.

I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do any thing. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.
Dorothy Parker, Here Lies (1939), "The Little Hours"

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.
Dorothy Parker, Not So Deep as a Well (1937), "Comment"

She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B.

I'm with Morgan.

Contrary to Jim's assumptions, we haven't all "seen the VMA performance, the footage of her shaving her head, that ungodly sight of her with the umbrella."

Because...some of us are smart enough not to invest our attention in fading teen pop stars. Why should we care?
