She's not that innocent.... anymore

Last night, mostly due to the fact that nothing else on television sparked my intrest, I watched Matt Lauer's interview with Britney Spears. An entire episode, devoted to her!

Now. I first have to admit, I am a closet Britney fan. Her songs are catchy. There is a reason why she appeals to the pre-teens. I can understand it (being of a pre-teen mindset myself at times). Would I want my hypothetical pre-teen daughter admiring Britney? Eh. I wouldn't mind it if she liked her music. But if it came to seeing her as a role model? Probably not.

That having been said. Despite the fact that I don't understand her choices ... it's her life not mine. And despite the fact that she contradicted herself at several points throughout the interview, those contradictions were not fundamental values. They were fluffy silly opinion points. Like.... not liking the stereotype of being called country in a negative light but then calling herself country.

But Brit, if you are happy then you go do what you have to do. It's not fair for the paparazzi to infringe on your every move. Honestly, if there were 20 flash bulbs in my face, I'd probably have dropped my baby instead of losing my balance temporarily.

And honestly, I'm kind of getting tired of listening to Britney gossip. I don't know. Lately gossip in general is just losing it luster for me. It doesn't really add value to my life. I'd rather learn more about saving and investing at this point. Heh. Or clothes. I still love clothes. I don't know. I want to learn more about things that will benefit me and the people I love in some way. How my new silk dress will add value to the lives of the people I love ... I'm not really sure yet. But it sure does make me happy.

Ashlee and her new nose...

A summary written by me, but info taken from MSN gossip.

I have never really been a fan of Ashlee Simpson. Really none of the Simpson family inspires much of a sense of admiration from me. Considering the fact that Joe Simpson seems to enjoy making comments about his daughter Jessica's huge breasts.... there's totally a made for tv movie somewhere in there someday about their family.

But I will say, her nose job? Probably the best idea in the world. Granted, the uniqueness she touts in her recent magazine interview... is pretty much gone... but hey she's the queen of submitting ironic statments. But I have to say, she does look much prettier now. I'm surprised her Dad didn't make her do it sooner. Considering his savvy for publicising the life of his elder daughter... I'm shocked he didn't do the same. Although now Ashlee looks like a teen version of Jessica now.

Next? Boob implants.

Or maybe not. Boob envy must run their family because evidently Jessica thinks her sister has the most perfect boobs.
