Oh. She's not nearly so pretty anymore. I think Kevin has taken his toll on her looks. And career.

I really could care less, but it would require medication.

Britney needs to dump that trailer trash looking neanderthal she's shacked up with and reboot her entire career.

Britney's success has actually remained fairly high. The problem is popular radio's reluctance to play her music, and poor managing.

Take for example the song Someday. Someday was released as a video and had a good reception. Then 3 months after the video peaked in popularity, they released the single. People had forgotten about it.

Also, only recently has the billboard top 100 started counting digital downloads. For songs like My Prerogative and I've Just Begun digital downloads were most of the singles sales. On iTunes My Prerogative hit #2, and I've Just Begun reached #4. With the advent of counting digital downloads Britney's song Do Somethin' (a personal favorite of mine) was able to reach #100 on the US billboard charts due to the fact that it reached #49 on the digital downloads charts, despite the fact that the video and single were never released in the US.

Britney's popularity has dropped in the past few years, however she is still more popular than most non-fans believe.

She should still dump Kevin though.







and date me <.<

Well, that leaves one question: Why is she grinning in a vaguely provocative way in your avatar?

Just curious.

Date you? Oh. I thought you were gay. My bad. I figured a lot of the guys on the internet that had girl avatars were gay (like me, for example.)

Hn...I don't think I've ever used a female avatar. Femme guys, yeah. But not female.

I used Shirtless Trip as an avatar for a while, which of course means I'm as straight as a Roman road.

Considering that they're married, breaking up would be a bit bigger than just "dumping" him. Especially since he's the father of her child and all.

Not that I'm particularly fond of Federline. I'm just sayin'.

They're celebrities (well, she's a celebrity, at least). Different rules apply. They're better people than the rest of us, after all.

Perhaps, but not to Hotaru.

(And marrying a celebrity is enough to make you one. The set of celebrities is closed under matrimony.)

Thinking about it, in a computer game if I ever get to choose which character to be, I always seem to pick the female ones. I never noticed it until a friend pointed it out.
I have no wish to be a woman.

In online games, at least, that's usually because other players tend to be nicer to girls.

In offline ones where the pc has a voice and insists on using it, it's because you'd rather listen to a girl all game then to some bloke with a hero complex.

In BG2, it's because you've installed the Chloe mod and want to see if the lesbian romance is worth all the fuss.

Actually, I included her just to hear Minsc misunderstanding the meaning of the word "lesbian".

I tend to play as a man. Maybe that's because I prefer immersion.
