So Annoyed

I hate Britney Spears. Even if I had liked her music or her “inspiring” life story, I would be so sick of the ridiculous coverage of her implosion that I would have begun hating her anyway.

See, I love reading and listening to pop culture coverage. I listen to Yo on E! and E! News on my XM radio everyday on my way to and from work. I visit the Entertainment page of Google News as well as usweekly.com, eonline.com, zap2it.com, tvsquad.com and people.com multiple times each day. I even visit hecklerspray.com even though they frequently talk about British celebrities I’ve never heard of.

Since the infamous head shaving incident, I have been teetering toward total Britney overload. In the past few weeks, coverage seems to have lessened a little–I was so happy. Other than the occasional lighter theft, not much Britney on the airwaves. Until her little sister got knocked up. Oh, damn you little Jamie Lynn Spears and your possible statutory rapist of a possible ex-boyfriend. Now we get more and more coverage of Britney as she finds out about your pregnancy the same way the rest of us did–through the press. Or as she shops rather than flying home to lend a little moral support to her poor little sister. Damn you.
