SophiaAww, poor poor Britney: a no-talent "artist" who was too young and too self-centered to get married and have kids in the first place. Poor Britney, a attention hog who claimed she was sick of having her life invaded by the paparazzi even though she dated one and chatted up all the photogs following her. Oh pity the unfortunate wench!report abuseposted November 4, 2008 4:15 PM PST
