The news that Britney Spears may hit the silver screen as the star of a Holocaust-era romantic tragedy has raised eyebrows in Germany. The plot calls for the pop-star to travel back in time to a concentration camp -- and the Central Council of Jews in Germany says the idea is "reprehensible."
After the 2002 cinematic flop "Crossroads," few would have been surprised if teen-talent-turned-adult-disaster Britney Spears never again appeared on the silver screen. According to reports this week, though, Spears is weighing a return to acting -- and it is a comeback that Jews in Germany are viewing with extreme distaste.

I understand Britney signing up for this. She’s a few cards short. But the hell wrote this, proposed this, and financed this?
Or, if it was tattooed on her... (never mind)
Haven’t a clue, though it wouldn’t be hard to find out. Not worth the time to look, I wish her the best of luck and a paycheck.
Sounds like a real winner.
