Britney Spears Is Back In All Her Flawed Splendor
There was a interest, and it wasn’t long ago, that Britney Spears seemed lost to us forever.
She was shaving her head, flashing her bare cooter to the paparazzi, attacking the paparazzi with umbrellas, attacking car doors with umbrellas, being carted away in ambulances, marrying drunk school acquaintances, divorcing high school acquaintances, marrying backup dancers, having kids with backup dancers, divorcing backup dancers, using gas level restrooms without shoes, and, worst of all, hanging out with Paris Hilton. It got so bad her dad had to step in and actually be a dad.
Then there was the performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007. That’s the one, you’ll remembering, where she stumbled around in her bra and panties in what appeared to be a heavily medicated daze, and a quick crowd shot revealed Rihanna staring on in alarm and laughing uncontrollably.
After that, silence. A couple years’ worth.
Now, her career seems back on track, her Tabloid Throne snatched by people who truly make her look talented. She has an undeniably catchy dance hit on the radio and is once again selling out arenas, the cooter flashing and noggin shaving but a blip on the radar. A quick career recap looks like this: From Pop-Princess-in-waiting to violently spawn intent on sexualizing tweens, from tabloid curio to train wreck, to all is quiet on the water front to, now, bonafide Pop Icon.
