Britney Spears reportedly interviewed for a cocktail waitress position the other day. Spears entered Les Deux in Hollywood last week and filled out an application. Spears allegedly told the manager that she was applying for the job because she "loved the sexy red corsets" that the waitresses at the restaurant are required to wear.
Usually people wait tables so they can become a pop star, not the other way around. You know what's funny? Spears is clearly doing crazy stuff on purpose, just to mess with the press... and it's working. A source told Life and Style Weekly Magazine that "everyone thought [Spears] was joking, but she seemed dead serious."
Umm, she's joking. You don't become a world-famous pop star and then go back to taking appetizer orders from some jackass who is going to tip you 12 percent and leave the money in a pile of mayonaise. That doesn't happen. Any reasonable person would hear this story and assume she's messing with the media. But because of all the gossip sites out there these days -- not to mention the crazy stuff Britney has done -- a lot of people can't figure out that this is a joke. The day is coming when most Americans won't be able to separate fiction from reality any more (assuming we're not already there).
But on the flip side, have celebrities finally found a way to outsmart the paparazzi? By doing ridiculous things on purpose, Britney keeps raising the bar for gossip sites. These sites are going to have to keep on printing more and more outrageous things, until readers eventually get worn out. Kind of like what happened with reality TV.
[With this in mind, I suggest we speed up the process by coming up with the most ridiculous Britney Spears rumor possible and perpetuating said rumor until TMZ finally explodes. Right now, I'm thinking we go with "Britney is a hermaphrodite." I'm sure someone can come up with something better, though.]
