"Deathwatch: Britney Spears" continues.

 

The other day it was reported that Britney was to give up custody of her children to Kevin Federline. Apparently the reason that Spears lost custody was because she disobeyed the court's orders to submit to random drug testing and obtain a valid driver's license. Spears had a court hearing on Monday morning, and according to reports, it seems she failed to present a valid California driver's license.

 

And now she's lost her children.

 

Man, Britney Spears' life has been exactly like a fairytale, only exactly the opposite. She started off with everything, and in a month she'll be scrubbing floors. She's like the Reverse Cinderella.

 

I'm just joking around. Britney Spears won't be scrubbing floors in a month. Nope. She'll be dead. Well, maybe it won't happen in a month, but we are headed for a breakdown unlike anything the planet has ever witnessed before.

 

If -- and I'm almost tempted to use the word "when" -- Britney dies, there's going to be a massive backlash against TMZ.com and all the paparazzi out there. Either magazine sales will plummet, or the government will get involved, or something. NeutralMilk and I were discussing this yesterday; after the Princess Diana thing, Britain (or France) had a chance to set a precedent by making laws against paparazzi, and they dropped the ball. When something eventually happens on American soil, hopefully we'll step up to the plate. It might be too late for Ms. Spears, but there are a lot of little future pop star trainwrecks out there who still have a chance.
