Before today, I would pass by racks of tabloids at the grocery store check-out line and scan the headlines, understanding that most of the stories were exaggerations of the truth. Today, I now understand that they are NOT exaggerations, but stone-cold truths.
Over the past year, we read articles about how Britney took away K-Fed's credit card. How she gave him an allowance. How she regulated him to the basement. How she didn't trust him with his own baby and hired a manny. We started to believe these stories until Britney had her infamous interview with Matt Lauer, where she told us these stories were untruths and that her marriage to K-Fed was "awesome." Her mini-skirt and bra-strap showing tank top told me not to believe her, but I kind of did. Maybe she was just an innocent victim, whom the fashion police had not yet paid a visit.
But then today, the world shook. All LIES, LIES, LIES...by Britney! The esteemed journalists at the tabloid magazines were, in fact, telling us the truth. They had scooped out the scoop, telling us with unfettered honesty what Britney could not, would not.
I know, we shouldn't be surprised by the Britney-K-Fed divorce. But my faith in the institution of marriage may have been slightly shaken. And then her "surprise" appearance on David Letterman, looking svelte and stylish. All on the eve of her divorce announcement.
Hmmm...do I smell strategy?? We'll just have to wait for the tabloids.
