Official Britney thread

If I had to pee and the only place to do so was in the men's restroom at a gas station, I'd hold it...indefinitely. I speak from experience as this same situation came up once during a road trip and I simply refused to do it. Ick.

Britney Spears doesn't miss being married.

When asked by PEOPLE in New York on Friday how she likes being single, the pop star, who filed for divorce from Kevin Federline on Nov. 7, said: "It's awesome."

Spears grabbed the spotlight Friday while at the fashion show for Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons and KLS Collection Fall 2007, which was held at the Roseland Ballroom in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Wearing a slinky black spaghetti-strapped dress and black peek-a-boo pumps, Spears posed for photographers upon her arrival, and was escorted to her front-row seat just moments before the show started.

As the models strutted on an elevated stage wearing sexy tweed outfits, double-breasted winter coats and big fur hats for the show entitled "From Russia with Love," Spears chatted at times with her assistant. She applauded with the rest of the crowd when model Alek Wek flaunted a colorful halter dress that dragged on the floor in the back but was a mini-dress in the front. "Oh my god," said Spears.

After the show, Spears told PEOPLE of the collection: "It was amazing."

Kimora Lee Simmons, who was backstage after the show, said of Spears: "Sometimes she gets a hard rap...[But] she is a very talented girl."
 
I got to thinking about this (please try not to groan so loudly), and it occurred to me that most of us during our teenage years do a lot of experimenting with clothes, learning how to put on makeup, fix our hair and whatnot, whereas all of Britney's teen years were spent sitting still while other people did all that, and very carefully made sure that she never stepped in front of a camera without being "styled" within an inch of her teeth.

Now that she is "grown up," and no longer has to do what she is told, I wonder if, even putting all her long list of absolutely terrible choices aside, there might not be two completely independent elements going on, one, enjoying the freedom NOT to be "styled" all the time, and two, simply not having developed the simple skills that allow all of us to go to the grocery store far from styled, but still looking reasonably neat and clean and put together!
