Britney Spears Is Nothing, If Not Alluring

The above picture of Britney's is from Allure's forthcoming September issue. And it is compelling. The irony was not lost on me. Britney is indeed dying at her own hands, metaphorically choking the life out of herself through her own ignorance and stubbornness.

Of course there are more talented, harder-working and absolutely more intelligent celebrities we could talk about, but why? What Britney lacks in refinement and confidence, she makes up for in desperation and full-on crazy. She is without a doubt the most fascinating person in the world of entertainment. Not because she has created some kind of unique cultural movement or at the forefront of any ground-breaking renaissance of the arts, but simply because she is so precariously teetering on the edge of mental insanity.

What could be more titillating than watching a former goddess become a complete parody of herself.

Now, before you get yourselves all worked up over my outward glee at Britney's expense, let me explain. Britney's not smart. She knows she's not smart. In fact, Britney probably suffers from some sort of debilitating learning disorder. On top of that, she's arrogant and narcissistic. And let's not forget, extremely insecure. That's like a deadly cocktail of epic proportions. You give someone with so little, so much money and free reign over their "artistic" endeavors and you end up with a complete mess.

Maybe I am mean. Some readers seem to think so. But that would be short-sighted on their part. I don't wish Britney ill will. I just wish she would quit it. And by "it" I mean pretending, pretending that she can re-invent herself without some professional assistance. And by professional assistance I mean people who are PROFESSIONALS. Not a bunch of crackhead sycophants licking her sphincter and feeding into her delusional pretenses of being a superstar.
