May 17, 2005
Sorry for the delay. My ISP kept booting me off and Blogger is giving me fits.
Before I begin, let me just say that I love Britney. I unashamedly admit that I have several Britney albums loaded to my iPod, and that a good friend and I forced her husband to take us to see Britney a couple of years ago. With that said, I cannot pass up an opportunity to mock something like this if given the chance. And since I don't know anyone else who was going to watch this that I could then discuss with at a later date, I'm going to subject you poor readers to my thoughts. I strongly suggest you stop reading now. This could get ugly.
Credits. They're chaotic! Wow. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I'm already scared by this twosome?
And the show kicks off with snippets of Mrs. Federline performing Toxic. Appropriate, right? Yeah, I thought so too. The concert footage is interspliced with weird low light shots of Britney making bizarre faces. A shout out to Paris Hilton? Maybe.
London, UK Rain. Britney is fascinated by how her knees look like boobs. Seriously. Her words, not mine. Now she is giving us the tour of her super cool hotel room. She's got a little hand held camera, so it is Brit acting as camera girl, narrator, and director. Quentin Tarantino has nothing to worry about. Britney is now explaining in an interview that she was on tour, missing her family, and feeling a void so she did what any girl does when they are missing mom and dad. She busted out her camera. Okay Brit, I'm with you so far.
Now she's talking to her hair guy about marriage and commitment (as one does). Hair guy's into commitment, but not so much marriage. Unless it means free health care. I'm with you dude. Now Britney says that honestly, she doesn't believe in marriage either. She's done it once already you know. Brit also pop quizzes her friend/assistant Felicia about marriage, commitment, and the perfect guy.
Cut back to the interview: Britney says she doesn't know why she was talking about commitment and marriage, but she hypothesizes that maybe it was because she hadn't had that in so long. Wow. Insert your own joke in here. Britney thinks she was giving a shout out to the universe saying, "Come to me." And Kevin Federline is how the universe responds? Talk about a universe that is hating you.
Cut back to Britney talking about her ideal. On the wish list: 1) He's cool. 2) He isn't fazed by that much stuff. 3) He hasn't really seen the much, because she has and wants to see through him all over again. 4) He has to be sweet and nice and love her a lot. 5) She doesn't care what he looks like. Oh, wait. She does care a little bit what he looks like. No uglies please.
In case you're wondering, the hair guy is just looking for a rich guy. I hear you dude.
They are now heading to TRL, but they are in London. Color me confused. Now Britney is filming herself singing along to D12's My Band. Say it with me people: oh the pain. Stop it Brit, no one's amused. Hey they really are at TRL. TRL UK that is. And the British TRL audience looks much more reserved than the American audience. Figures. And she is debuting her Everytime video. And there is Stephen Dorff ignoring her in the video. Poor Britney. She really needs a nice boyfriend, not just that fake mean one the video director hooked her up with. Now Britney is talking about her portrayal in the media. Really, she's just like anyone else. She longs for love, companionship, and friends. Now we are treated to a retrospective of Britney alone, sad music in the background, waiting for love. Aw. You gotta feel for the girl.
Now Britney is pop quizzing her female dancers about love and commitment. She declares in her interview that she was a Bitter Betty because she hadn't had a relationship in a long time. But talking about it with her girlfriends allowed her to justify and create what she wanted for the future. And for some reason Brit couldn't get this one guy out of her head. Gah! Our first shot of Mr. Federline. Are we suppose to find him cute? Because he isn't.
And now we've hit the first commercial break. Oh my God. It's only 8:16. This is taking for freaking ever.
Britney is back in her limo. Britney is talking about a cute guy on the tour named Miguel (Michelle, you didn't tell me you let your husband go out on tour with Britney!). And then Britney says something about hooking Felicia up with the dude, but it is hard to understand what she is saying as she is trying to say it Snoop Dogg style. And that's just wrong.
Oh! Great quotation here. Britney is now interviewing that, "There is a time in every woman's life, if you haven't had companionship, where you should let go and be your hot mama self and do your thing." Words to live by. We all need to be our hot mama selves. I knew if I watched this I'd walk away with a little wisdom.
Britney is getting ready to go on stage. We are treated to I'm A Slave For You, sans snake of course. If the snake was there, I would have run screaming from the room by now. Wow. That's a really ugly costume. I don't think I can even properly describe its fugliness. How did the back up dancers get better costumes?
Now Britney is showing us her bus. It's way nicer than any speech team bus I've ever been on, but does Britney get Kirsten as her driver? No. Take that Britney. Score one for me.
Manchester, UK Britney is being harassed by paparazzi. Okay, she isn't really being harassed. There's like one person standing by a swing set taking a picture. The rest of the people below her window? Moms and toddlers. I think Britney's getting paranoid.
Britney is now inspired to offer some words of wisdom: People can take away everything from you, but they can never take away your truth. Okay. But the question is, can you handle my truth? Now I'm trying to figure out what my truth is.
Britney has moved from asking people about love and commitment and is now asking about favorite sex positions. Why do I get the feeling I'm going to learn something truly frightening about Britney here? She asks a whole bunch of people this question, and then all of sudden she is asking JC Chasez it to. What's he doing there? I'm telling Justin! Oh wait. He's opening up for her on tour. Wow. That's kind of sad. He refuses to answer. You go JC.
More concert footage. The Onyx Hotel Tour was just weird. It's like Britney watched lots of Madonna footage (who puts on phenomenal concerts) and is trying to emulate her, but she doesn't really know how to go about doing it. The costumes she and her dancers are wearing are total rip offs from Madonna's Blonde Ambition Tour. If you're going to pay homage, do it right. I'm just saying.
Now Britney tells us that she was feeling a void while on tour. But she met this guy in LA and thought, "Why not bring him to London with me?" Uh, because he's icky and has a girlfriend/babymama?
Commercial break. Half way through. Okay, I can do this.
Now we get to hear from Kevin. This should be good. Kevin says he was living with his best friend from back home when he met Britney at one of his usual hangouts. A couple of her dancers introduced them. You know if I was her mama I'd be firing those dancers right about now. Kevin struck Britney as very mysterious. Okay, I don't see but I'll go with that. Kevin says he doesn't know how, but magic happened. Ew.
Britney told Kevin she wouldn't go on tour unless he went with her. Now there's lots of awkward You're cute... No, you're cute. Oy. Oh! Brit just asked him an important question: how do you feel about marriage and commitment? His response:
I feel that... (big pause) I feel that love is love. Love has... Love is a commitment. I don't believe in marriage. I believe you can get married. Ha ha ha.
What a tool. Britney says she asked him this as a sort of reverse psychology. Because if she asked him then that meant she didn't like him, which ended up screwing her as she ended up falling for him even more. Her words, not mine. But I agree on the screwing part.
Now they are talking to Mo the security guard. Surprisingly, Mo didn't like Kevin at first. He thought he was there for a free ride. Word Mo. Word. He didn't like the way he looked, the way he walked, wore his hair, etc. He didn't like anything about him.
Cut to Britney and Kevin talking about Eminem. I quote: Britney: What do you think about Eminem? Kevin: I think he is a genius. Britney: He's a genius. But he complains a lot. But that's cool.
Hee hee. I can barely type I'm laughing so hard. Commercial break. Thank God, only 15 more minutes.
Rainy day in London. Kevin's in the shower (so didn't want to know that). Another tour of a hotel room. Britney doesn't understand the artwork. Yeah, I feel for you Britney. Gah! Kevin just came out of the shower. I think I'm blind now. Britney wants to leave, but is waiting for Kevin to get ready. He's such a girl.
Driving through London. Driving, driving, driving. Britney is doing the sound check thing at Wembley Arena. Now she's back at the hotel running on her treadmill. And telling her friend Felicia about how much her and Kevin are doing it. I feel your pain Felicia. Now she's talking about it with her hair guy. There hair guy says he approves, but you so know he doesn't. Britney is nervous about performing her show in front of Kevin. Don't worry. He'll still love you.
Britney ended by saying that anything she has ever wanted she put her mind to and got. But with Kevin she didn't know and that made her scared. I'm scared too Brit, but for entirely different reasons.
Next week's episode: Gross close up shots of them kissing. Tension between Mo and Kevin. Ooh! It looks like Mo is roughing Kevin up. That might be worth tuning in for.
