Spears Dogged for Poor Pet Ownership!
Yahoo Music ^ | 12/19/2006 | Sarah Hall

Apparently, Kevin Federline wasn't the only warm-blooded being Britney Spears ousted from her home this year.

Once the proud owner of pampered pooches Bit-Bit, Lacy and Lucky, Spears ended the year dog-less, a feat that earned her the title of World's Worst Celebrity Dog Owner in an online poll of readers of Hollywood Dog and New York Dog magazines.

"Britney was the overwhelming choice," editor Hilary O'Hagan said in a statement. "She once had three Chihuahuas and never left home without at least one of them on her arm. As soon as she met K-Fed and had kids, they disappeared."

In an interview with Teen People in September, Federline admitted that he and Spears had decided the dogs no longer fit into their lifestyle.

"We gave all the dogs to friends of ours," Federline said at the time. "It's just too much with the kids and all these dogs running around all over the place. It just wasn't really working."

Shortly thereafter, Spears decided it wasn't really working with Federline either and filed for divorce.

So far, her sons Sean Preston and Jaden James are still in the picture.

Spears' poor pet-owning skills were deemed worse than those of last year's title-holder, Paris Hilton, who came in second this year for treating her dogs like accessories. Serena Williams came in third for lying about owning her pit-bull, Bambi, after it bit a security guard earlier this month.

Oprah Winfrey was named the Best Celebrity Dog Owner, in part because she supposedly provides each of her five dogs with its own nanny.

Meanwhile, in other dubious Spears achievements, a home-video clip of the singer burping and babbling incoherently was the number one celebrity viral video of the year, according to viralvideocharts.com.

The footage, shot by Federline, was viewed over 3 million times by the Website's count, giving it an easy lead over the second-place clip, TV footage of Federline apparently being notified of his impending divorce via text message—a stirring caught-on-tape moment that received close to 2 million views.

Spears was also Yahoo's most searched topic of the year, as well as the most searched celebrity—and that's in a year when she didn't even release an album. Nor is the "Oops" singer planning on leaving the spotlight behind again anytime in the near future.

"I'm just getting started," she wrote on her official Website earlier this month.

"I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me!"

I've never heard her music. I've seen her get out of car recently. Is she pregnant again?

She got rid of the three Chihuahuas so she'd be the only "hairless" in the house.

Oprah has been poor. She knows the plight of the poor,the struggle to put bread on the table, Having personal Nanny's for 5 dogs is just friggin sinful.

Dog-less maybe, but she's got a really nice set of puppies...

That's wrong on so many levels.

Did it occur to you that the Nannies might need the work, and this is a way for Oprah to "spread the wealth".

I can't see where any of these people are anything but airheads living pampered and meaningless lives, but sometimes dogs don't like it when babies come into the house and they can be unpredictable in what they might do. So, there may be a sensible reason why they're gone.

Just for the record: Kids and pets are not the same.

You can call yourself "daddy" when you pretend your dog is talking to you. You can refer to your "kids" while describing your pet's antics to your friends. You can counter every story about a kid with one about your pet. Do it all, but they STILL aren't human.

I suppose that could be true. It would seem a pretty degrading job though, Nanny to Oprahs dog.
