Maybe the virginity she refers to is the virginity of her mind.

or just fading into oblivion and doing road shows of "Grease" with Jamie Farr and Larry Storch in Little Rock, AR....

With Vegas and Times Square Redux forgotten celebs need never make the dinner theater circuit again.

In Vegas David Cassidy and Sheena Easton can headline. Keely Smith's even still singing out there.

As for Broadway, they learned well from recent Hollywood. Nothing succeeds like a success (or is that sucks seeds??).

Broadway is making money restaging old musicals or adapting films to the stage for remake. On top of that they're taking old tv and pop music names and casting them in the remake. The oddest I saw billed recently was The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Joan Jett as Magenta and Dick Cavett as the narrator. May lose your dignity but hey that's showbiz.

Um, don't worry...Never even thought about buying one of her albums. The girl can't sing...she is just a production of some big music mogul...no talent. ...but, I have to admit, she has a terrific figure, and I wish I looked like that in jeans.

Brittney is easier on the eyes, than the Four Horsemen.
But, for music, I'll take my "Willie, Waylon, & Me" - DAC

Remember boys, 15 will get you 20!

Sorry .... I know that curve, that curve was a good fit in its time.

That curve was a friend of mine ... and Brittany, you're not that good a curve.

Out of curiousity, do you always go around calling people you've never met sl*ts?

Lets see... we are supposed to change culture by not buying an albumn I would never buy in the first place....... 15 -20 year olds run the music industry... that's their market.... they are going to buy whatever they buy... I don't think Britany is the end of civilization.... she may be a symptom of things, but certainly not a cause.

How bout we focus on something meaningful, like making our elected officials behave!

I look on Brittney as a Bambi in the headlights over her sexuality marketing...Kinda the way Marilyn Monroe did it.

Sure she's aware of it, but at least she's not using it to hold those she influences hostage to her politics like Madonna the Whore has done. When Ms Spears begins to express leftwing propaganda at her every appearance off-stage, I'll worry about boycotting her stock & trade.

No I don't call everyone Sl*ts that I don't know, but my perception of her is that she is one because she acts like one....

15 -20 year olds run the music industry

Payola and corporate commecial tie-ins own this industry. They create the buzz about the performers and supress them when they want as well. Prince's shows still sell out but he hasn't had a sales chart or radio hit ever since he left the safety of Warner Bros..

The more the entertainment world can be geared towards boy-band and other pop singer dance squads (with lights, video, and elaborate staging), the less likely some up and comer will be able to give them a challenge. Their fame doesn't come from a talented lyricist or a crooner's voice, it is all marketing.

Look at how many of the acts have worked through the same superstar-mill (producer, publicist, choreographer).

I don't think there's anything Kid Rock hasn't said on one of his albums.
