| Britney, NASCAR Deemed "Match Made in Heaven" |
Pop-sensation Britney Spears will team up with NASCAR to film a "Days Of Thunder"-style racing film, and potential director Jerry Bruckhimer tells HollywoodPulse.com that it's a perfect match because "both NASCAR racers and Britney Spears look real at first glance, but when you get under the hood you realize they're both just dummy shells of the actual thing." With Spears popular with 57 percent of the U.S. population, and NASCAR fans making up two-thirds of moviegoers, Bruckheimer called this a no-brainer. "I'm baffled as to why nobody has thought to pair Britney and NASCAR together until now," he said. "Both appeal to the lowest common denominator, both generate millions of dollars a year, and both wouldn¹t think twice about selling out. It's a match made in heaven" Bruckheimer anticipates that the movie will make a fortune because the dumb fans to which NASCAR and Spears appeal will see the movie over and over again. "You can expect a lot of people will come back to see the film multiple times," he said. "First, they're already accustomed to just watching the same car go by again and again, and the plot will require several viewings before our target audience will figure it out. It'll be like 'The Sixth Sense' for rednecks." First drafts of the screenplay have Spears arriving on the big-league racing scene with the dream of singing the National Anthem at the Daytona 500. The would-be singer catches the eye of a waning star driver, played by Tom Cruise, who teaches her to drive stick shift in the team's back-up car. NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon has agreed to drive for the film's requisite racing footage. "I've seen the car they're going to use, and I can tell you that the TeamPepsi/Chevy Racing/Dr. Magic Plastic Surgery Team has really got it set up. At first she was running real loose, but now she's dialed in and all the guys are just clamoring to take her for a few laps." It was unclear if Gordon was referring to the race car or Spears. Filming is set to begin next summer.

I'd pay to wash and wax her car, and I'd clean her wooden floors...........as long as we would later spend a night at Wimbledon in a threesome with Anna!
They even stuck by those numbers when they were told that there are less than 6 billion people in the world.
