Dear Gossips,

As I’ve been reporting all week, Britney’s video for Gimme More is now available on iTunes and will premiere on MTV on Monday. Click here to see it. But while critics have been relatively kind in their judgment, having forced myself to go through it twice, I honestly don’t know what they’re talking about. And I love this song.

First of all, there’s no shot that lasts longer than 5 seconds. Crazy cutting all over the place obviously because she couldn’t hold her sh-t long enough to make it through the shoot without incident. You do remember that don’t you?

The dancing, the styling, the everything… all second rate, especially heartbreaking from someone who is known for bringing the slick. Once upon a time Britney was a first class performer. Once upon a time, Britney was overpackaged but visually spectacular. Which is why images like these are so sad. If you dig deep there’s a glimpse of what she was. How pretty she was. How cute she was. How polished she was. What a great nose she used to have.

And now…

Le Sigh.

Quick confession: had some time to kill last night before The Office started. Decided to YouTube my favourite Britney appearance. It was 2001. It was the Superbowl Halftime Show. Aerosmith, Mary J, Nelly, N Sync, and Britney. She was wearing those silver low riders and grooving with Justin, remember? If not, click here to remember. I remember. Those were the days…

And today is the day!!!

Or, more appropriately, tonight is the night. It is Friday night. And Friday Night Lights the 2nd season premieres tonight. The most perfect season of television is back for an attempt at a repeat. If you still haven’t picked up the dvd… seriously, why not??? Why continue wasting your time on the insulting sh-t that is Grey’s Anatomy and ignore the most wonderful show in years?

Please don’t. Get the DVD, mad rush through it this weekend. And then download the premiere episode of season 2 if you have to. I promise… you won’t regret it.

Have a great weekend. Canada – Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Yours,

Lainey

PS. Happy Birthday to Brandy… I hear you and Jen J can’t stand the Alba Demon. Clearly you’re my kinda girl though truth be told, word is she’s been relatively bearable on the set of the Love Guru in Toronto. Maybe her co-star’s douchebag antics have given her pause?
