Love it! X still has the claws out even on this post! It's obviously not talent, but the ability to keep up a steady train wreck going at different speeds! 1 step forward, 3 steps back!

Posted by: Britney Voted Most Over Exposed Celebrity 07-08

By Lorena Blas and Mary Cadden, USA TODAY
In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, the entertainment media's love affair with Britney Spears continued throughout 2008.

The pop star ranks No. 1 for the year in USA TODAY's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures exposure in print and online entertainment news outlets. Spears, who was No. 1 in 2007, took the top spot 11 weeks this year, the most of any celebrity. Among those weeks were highs and lows: Her most recent No. 1 ranking resulted from the Dec. 2 release of Circus, which also took the No. 1 spot in album sales in its first week out. She first appeared at No. 1 on the index in January, when she had two stints in psychiatric wards after displaying erratic behavior.

This index is skewed, there is no way she beat out Obama. They must be considering him a politician even though he is a pop star just like this idiot!

What is so ironic is that the VAST MAJORITY of people looking at Britney stories in 2008 were not doing so because of her singing and dancing abilities. Most people just wanted to find out what stupid publicity stunt she pulled on any given day, and rarely did a day go by that she let us down.

All of you losers who keep making fun of me better stop it or i will unleash the mother of all beatdowns on here. You keep talking about me and i have had enough of it. You do not have my permission to do the things you have been doing on here. You all have a problem with me because i support sam lufti and you all love britney. I continue to think that sam is a great guy and that britney should have been grateful to have had him in her life. He did a lot of things to help her and he did it out of love. He is a godsend who only comes around once in a lifetime and what bothers you all is that you do not have a great guy like him in your lives. You clowns better watch it or i will go after you so badly that you will end up wishing that you had never posted on here. I saw that some of you trashed my friend jglad on another thread and since she is not here to defend herself i will do it for her. This is your last warning to knock it off or else there will be consequences. I am an admirer of someone who is a real superstar and a true talent like uffie. So when i take you all on i want you to know that i will be doing it in the name of uffie.

I love London’s sweater. He was an adorable little prognosticator.

Poor doggie! I wonder if she had him stuffed and mounted on her wall wearing that sweater?

Or maybe the dog had some value to her as a spare hair farm? Now she has to buy (or create?) her extensions since one of her primary donors is gone.

She will be back to the "Bad Times" again in 2009. She is cracking already. . . .

This isn't an honor. It's more of an admission by the press of thier constant and unrelenting harrassment of Britney. During her breakdown was the most gross invasion I've ever witnessed and to praise yourselves for contributing to what was the worst time of her life is sickening.
I wish her the best, not because she's a Pop Icon but because she's human and deserves to have respect for her dignity, not exploitation.
Happy New Year Ya'll.
xoxo

Are you hoping Britney Spears guest stars on Modern Family?

Yes! She has a funny personality and would fit in perfectly on the ABC comedy.
No! She would be horrific on the show and would tarnish its reputation.
Don't know! But it would be a great way for the show to get even bigger ratings.
