Britney Spears planning 'small, traditional country wedding' to fiancé Jason Trawick

Her first wedding was a ripped jeans and baseball cap affair in Vegas, and her LA wedding to Kevin Federline had to be moved up because of the media circus surrounding the nuptials. So for her third time down the aisle, Britney Spears is hoping, understandably, for a low-key, traditional affair. The 30-year-old singer is alleged to be planning a traditional, Southern-style country wedding to fiancé Jason Trawick, 40

No, she isn't. If she were planning a small country wedding, we wouldn't be reading about it in the Daily Mail, which is chockablock with celebrity news and sensationalism.

I had been reading a book by a Hollywood agent/promoter who frankly said celebrities are commodities and the details of their private lives are what they sell. Even normal things such as weddings, adoptions, and divorces are done with one eye out for the cash register.

It's not all our fault for watching. The number of media outlets and the 24/7 news cycle means they are looking for celebrities to manufacture. These include political celebrities. Sarah Palin was treated more akin to Kim Kardassian than to George W. Bush because she fit the celebrity mold.

(That's probably why the media despised Bush 43; he wouldn't play their game and feed them raw meat, so they made up lies and slander which he couldn't answer - but he beat two ‘smarter’ politicians. This is also why the media loves Obama. He plays celebrity, the clueless but calculating idiot that he is.)

So, if you want a small wedding, have one. Privately.

Reminds me of when my wife and I got married. She was worried about who would be offended if they weren't invited. I solved it telling her to invite nobody - which is exactly what we did. And nobody was offended. We just had a preacher and a photographer..
