It’s not that I don’t think she looks good – she does look good. Going dark takes away the redneck chicken fried vibe of her previous weave and it’s never a bad thing to scale back on the trash. Problem is the timing. The timing sucks. Because even though Britney has shown vast improvement, even though the body is on its way back, even though the spotty Cheeto blemishes have largely receded, she still hasn’t totally achieved fighting form. A Britney in fighting form - crazy ass abs, crazy legs and ass, arms cut, workin’ the stage, killer choreography – that is the Britney who can take on the Cam. But with Cam at the top of her game right now, also rockin’ dark locks, I’m afraid AT PRESENT, it is no contest. And yes gossips…EVERYTHING is a contest. Here’s Britney, a quieter weekend, Paris wasn’t around, though she did go out dancing at Les Deux on Friday night before finishing things off at Taco Bell. Word is she IS working, both the recording studio and the dance studio, testing out new material, with a new spread in Rolling Stone also rumoured to be under negotiation. Stay tuned… X17
