It's my birthday, bitch!

Today's my birthday, where there's more than one way to blow out the candle...

Um, is this news?

Earlier this week it seemed like every news outlet and program fell for the "story" about the Starbucks chain closing the doors at almost 7,100 of its U.S. coffee shops for three hours on Tuesday...just to give the baristas a refresher course on espresso standards.

Okay, is this supposed to be "news?" Talk about being a corporate lapdog.


With all that coverage you'd think that Britney Spears had died and Starbucks was paying tribute to her frequent patronage in the past few months by flying the flag half-mast at all of its franchises.

Crazy Deja Vu

I know that by now you've heard about Britney Spears' craptacular nervous breakdown last week, but I have to say that it reminded me of when Courtney Love had to be hancuffed to a stretcher on her way to Bellvue Hospital in New York City three and a half years ago. I look at those pictures of Britney being wheeled away and I expect her to say "Today is my birthday and I had an abortion" juat like Courtney did.


BTW Brit's breakdown happened just hours after the results of the Iowa caucuses in which presidental hopeful Obama Barack came out on top. Ah, the politics of distraction.

UPDATE: TMZ.com gives a report of the night of craziness at Britney's house the night she was committed. "It involves profanity, nudity, drugs and wild mood swings," the website drools.

Taco-Flavored Kisses

Britney says "Fulfull all your wishes with my taco-flavored kisses."

Friday Video #49: It's Ice Cream, Betch

"Let's get some shoes. Let's party!"


Only in America can someone get in the news for just getting some ice cream. But then again it's America's National Joke herself, Britney Spears, when she's not fighting for custody of her children, getting tested for drugs, trying to release some music, and switching lawyers and managers like someone changing his/her underwear.

Brit's new look is so very Kelly, of the YouTube sensation "Shoes." (Kelly BTW will be performing at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco on September 30.) So here is the classic clip of "Shoes":


UPDATE:Here is the Titus Jones mash-up of "Gimme More Shoes", which mixes Brit's "Gimme More" with Kelly's "Shoes." Enjoy!

Friday Video #48: Lazy Ass Clown

I guess this video reflects the state of my mind right now. Procrasination and depression. I'm afraid that this will turn out to be the Britney Spears of blogs.


UPDATE: I guess I need Tyra Banks to whip me into shape.
