britney spears , pregnant ?

i read in a paper at the airport the other day that former pop princess britney spears " gives her fans the opportunity " to pay c. $575 dollars for her autograph . that got me thinking . no , i'm not talking about such weighty issues as

a. ) would you give her one

b. ) is she finished

there's room for debate there on both those subjects and if i discussed them i'd end up with a comments list ( particularly for b. ) that would never end and would be filled with the worldy opinions of hundreds of 10 yr old girls telling me what a bad man i was and making such intellectual arguments as ........." well , i fink britney is bril " and " britney is better than christina cos ... " so here's the rub , britney at the age of 20 something , 21 is it ? is worth an estimated $ 100 million + , and having had her loyal , mostly sub teenage fans spend disproportionate amounts of their pocket money on full price singles , cds and other miscellaneous merchandise she now repays them by giving them this generous opportunity . how magnanimous britney . so i suppose when she buys a meal in a restaurant and uses her credit card she deducts the price of the meal from her autograph fee and then waits for the waiter to bring her the balance . hmmmmm . she may be smarter than she seems . ( i have an opinion that she's disingenuous , tries to come across as interesting , interested and caring but is such a poor actor/ salesperson that she can only fool 10 yr olds with that cutesy girl talk ) . she also has no vocal range , sings through her nose and can't sing live .

am i being harsh here ?

i'm sorry , i just don't like her ( except in that " toxic " video where she does have a very sexy walk ! )

anyway , good luck to her with her autograph charging , but i'll take a bet with anyone that she'll be reported as being pregnant by the end of 2005 .
