For First Interview In Two Years, Britney Spears Poses With Children, Cheetos
After a brief, fruitful detour into Crazytown, pop starlet Britney Spears appeared to be on the mend: first there was the How I Met Your Mother cameo, then a sanity-spurred decline in baiting the paparazzi, then even a self-mocking MTV promo taped with Russell Brand! Things seemed to be going so well that we hardly batted an eye when OK! announced that Spears would be granting them her first interview in two years (after memorably storming out of her last encounter with the magazine). Then we saw the pictures. And the bag of Cheetos.Britney, Britney, Britney. Shouldn't you know by now that you've become so associated with a white-trash, Cheetos-chomping image that the last thing you should do is give the snack food priority placement during your comeback photoshoot? At least Spears evinced a semblance of self-awareness when she vetoed the idea that her children might follow her into the entertainment industry. Says OK!:
Perhaps some of Britney's reluctance comes from seeing her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, have to face so much public scrutiny over her recent pregnancy. "I was shocked a little bit," says Brit. "She’s always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling."
Though Britney may have been shocked by her sister's pregnancy, she soon came around after reading the galleys from her mother's upcoming book, The Lynne Spears Guide to Fucking Up Your Children. After reading Chapter 10 ("Babies Having Babies Having Increased Earning Potential"), Brit-Brit kicked up her feet and opened a brand-new, celebratory bag of Cheetos Cracker Trax.
