All you ever really needed to know about Britney Spears

Britney was my sex-mad bride

BRITNEY SPEARS bedded her childhood sweetheart "like an animal", then wrecked his life with a 55-hour marriage that stunned the world.

Now, in a world exclusive interview, husband Jason Alexander details every moment of the sex, the proposal, their Vegas wedding and his humiliation as furious family and lawyers prised them apart.

"We made love in her bed, her shower and her bath," said Jason, 22. "She asked me to marry her but when her lawyers demanded I end our marriage she didn't stop them—and it caused chaos in my life."

Jason revealed that Britney proposed to him as she lay naked in his arms. And she was so excited when he said "Yes", she rushed him down the aisle without stopping to put her knickers on.

1. Lucky guy.

[mike_c]

2. god I hate it when that happens....

[POed_Ex_Repub]

3. She doesn't strike me as a very stable person

But then, she's a Bush supporter. ;-)

[Syrinx]

4. her looks are the only thing I like about her

She has no talent and is really dumb. But, man, she is hot. ;)

[Misunderestimator]

7. Hmmm... how can someone still be hot, after knowing that they are stupid

and talentless... that has always confused me. I can find a woman hot, and then when she opens her mouth and says something stupid (like "I voted for Bush") the hotness just freaking disappears. I don't get it how men can separate that.

[LTR]

11. Hey, Republican women tend to be pretty freaky

They seem to have no morals whatsoever. Makes for some fun.

Shit, Britney's probably so dumb, I'd be surprised if she even knew the name of our current president. Too many her age tend to be that way.

[Misunderestimator]

15. Having no morals makes for fun....?

I still don't get it. :shrug:

[Syrinx]

14. She's very attractive, physically

Not really complicated at all.

[Misunderestimator]

21. I still don't get it.

Everytime... literally, EVERY time... that I have seen an attractive woman who then opens her mouth and betrays herself as a stupid idiot... she is no longer attractive AT ALL. Why is it that men can look past everything but the physical and still be attracted to an empty, albeit attractive, woman?

[Syrinx]

26. I'm not saying I want to marry her

Though the money would be nice. :)

I just think she's a pretty girl with a nice body. If you don't agree that's fine, but that's all I'm saying.

[Misunderestimator]

29. Ok... humor me then...

I'm really curious how it is that some men can look past EVERYTHING but the physical and still find someone hot? It's odd to me, because I instantly turn off when a woman show ignorance or stupidity.

[Syrinx]

34. maybe we have a semantic issue here

Would it have been better if I said "attractive" instead of "hot?" I was using them interchangeably.

[Misunderestimator]

39. No... no semantic issue at all...

whether hot or attractive... when an attractive woman opens her mouth and says something stupid, the attractiveness (and hotness) disappears for me. I've just noticed that men seem to be able to separate the physical from everything else. And that's weird to me.

[Syrinx]

45. I don't think of her as an "attractive person"

But she looks pretty and sexy. I don't see what is so hard to understand.

Hell, I'm a straight dude. And Saddam Hussein is an evil guy. But, in his prime, I think he looked ruggedly handsome.

[Misunderestimator]

46. And after knowing all you do about him... you would still find him

attractive? Would you do him in an elevator?

[Syrinx]

48. I think that comment is a little unfair

Of course I wouldn't, as I am straight, and I don't want to associate with murderous thugs. You've never seen a person that you didn't agree with, that you still thought was physically attractive? If you say no, I suspect you are a liar.

[Misunderestimator]

50. Nope... I am not a liar... I truthfully tell you

that if I find someone attractive that has absolutely contrary views to mine, that person is no longer attractive. I can't explain it... it's just the way it is. And that's the truth... no liar here.

[Syrinx]

54. well I guess you are perfect with no level of superficiality

Congratulations. :party:

[Misunderestimator]

56. Thank you....

My superficiality is trumped by my humanity.

[Syrinx]

58. I'll match my humanity against your humanity anyday

I don't try to be holier-than-thou on superficial issues.

EDIT: And all this because I think Britney Spears is pretty. *sigh*

[ForrestGump]

66. Seems to me that she factors in nonphysical aspects in determining

'hotness' whereas you maybe don't so much. I don't see that either it necessarily a better or more worthy strategy than the other -- just different -- so maybe we can just accept these differences and get along.

If you're okay with having a physical reaction to physical attrractiveness, that's just dandy in my book, if it's what turns you on (and, of course, as long as you're not being obnoxious about it or hurting others). And if someone else just as much cannot help weighing nonphysical aspects in to the physical-attraction formula, hey, great...whatever gets you through the night.

[Syrinx]

68. I pretty much agree with what you say

"Hotness" is physical, though. And this is from a self-described ugly guy that wishes that the rules weren't as they are, but has learned to accept them :)

[ForrestGump]

70. Well, 'hotness' is physical for YOU

And probably mostly physical for most people, sort of by definition. I know for sure that a woman's physical attactiveness in my eye can drop quite a bit as a result of any one of a number of things that she does or by the way she acts. Actually, that may even be a corallary of the fact that character traits can way enhance the beauty of a woman that I might otherwise not dislocate my neck while watching her pass. So, for me, I'm to some extent -- at least at some times -- closer to the Ms Misunderestimator model.

As for Britney, what she's said about Bush would seem (not knowing her personally) more a result of naiveté -- she does come across as a classic airhead, no doubt -- than of being some rabid neocon. Given that, in my current emotional state, yeah, I'd probably be up for the job were it to present itself. Nothing's rigid (no pun intended), certainly when it comes to me, in how I perceive people. I suspect that many of us who include nonphysical traits in rating the physical might abandon all but the purely physical under certain conditions.

[Syrinx]

75. deep

I'll just have to digest that.

[ForrestGump]

27. Conflict between lower and upper brains

Sometimes the little brain wins.

I'm not saying that I'd be among those who'd accept vacuousness in place of anything else, but I also can't predict what might happen if Ms Spears and I are trapped in an elevator for several hours where, inevitably, she'd succumb to the power of my pheromones and we'd break into the economy-sized tub of Crisco that I'd just bought for personal use and...

Exceuse me. I need to take a shower. Cold.

[Misunderestimator]

31. LOL... well, I guess I just have to chalk it up to

the difference between men and women? I really just don't get it that someone would still find someone attractive after they exhibit such unattractive traits. :shrug:

[ForrestGump]

38. Actually,

I'm with you. Nonphysical turn-offs could easily trump physical turn-ons.

I was never as crazy about Bo Derek as perhaps, as a 13-year-old (or thereabouts), I should have been. Not that I knew she was a Republican manaic then...if she even was one then.

Still, the elevator thing's a possibility, because hormones and deep primal seething lustful urges (oops...I did it again) can make people do weird things. And things they later regret. Like getting married. :D

[Misunderestimator]

41. LOL... ok I'll give you that...

And it's educational. I won't deny that I have slept with women purely because I was attracted to them physically. But that was in my 20's. I haven't done that since. If I met her in the elevator, I would spend my time trying to convince her how idiotic she was. Sex would not enter into it.

[ForrestGump]

43. Darn, 'cos I was kinda hoping I could watch

Run, Forrest, run!!

[Misunderestimator]

44. LMAO

[qazplm]

9. you really think so?

Cuz I dont get what the big deal is...I mean she aint ugly, but I dont get how she is super hot, I can look around here and see a few girls that look better than her, and I am stuck in a small town.

[Syrinx]

16. I'm sure I could find women that are even more attractive here

In fact, I think I saw one today when I went to see F911 for the second time. But that doesn't change the fact... umm, my opinion, that Britney Spears is very, very physically attractive.

[Angelus]

19. Yes...she is one hot chick.

[Misunderestimator]

22. Nice... you are a piece of work. n/t

[Angelus]

23. What exactly...

is that supposed to mean?

[Misunderestimator]

24. Well...

it's supposed to mean that you seem to inject this "hot chick" thing into everything you post lately. What's that about? Are you just trying to antagonize women?

[Angelus]

28. Nope.

I'm putting the word "chick" in where it is appropriate, like when there is a mention of a hot chick.

I see nothing wrong with that. :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

32. When exactly is it appropriate to call a woman a chick?

I'm curious.

[Angelus]

35. Whenever there is a mention...

of an attractive young woman.

From MerriamWebster.com:

Main Entry: chick
Pronunciation: 'chik
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English chyke, alteration of chiken
1 a : a domestic chicken; especially : one newly hatched b : the young of any bird
2 : CHILD
3 slang : a young woman

I don't see anything wrong with the bold words.

Anyways, let's not go there.

[Misunderestimator]

36. You just don't get it do you?

I can see it's a hopeless cause to make you see how the use of the word "chick" denegrates women. You find a woman who likes being called a chick, and more power to you. Personally, I don't like being compared to a chicken.

[Angelus]

37. I could care less...

I use this term as well as the other 100's of thousands of people out there.

Let's not start this crap again. :eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

42. Okee doke...

live in your own little bubble, without listening to what women actually think about your term.

[ForrestGump]

49. Actually, you COULDN'T care less

Fine point, I know, but it alters your whole thesis.

As for the 'chick' controversy, it seems to me like more than a few of the females that I've corresponded with here refer to (at times) themselves or other women as 'chicks.' Fine. I don't have particularly strong feelings about it, even when used as a descriptor by men, but it's all about context and the dynamics among communicants.

Here, certainly in general use on DU, the term's inherently sexist qualities should be borne in mind. The word's been used on occasion in fun posts here, but it's up to the users to monitor reactiona nd adjust accordingly. The word is, after all, paternalistic as applied to women -- it's a diminutive term. It's the speaker/writer basically saying "don't you worry your pretty little head, you sweet thang, you."

Yeah, I'm taking it to extremes here, but I don't think there's any denying that the word 'chick' is a loaded one. Again, used in the right place and time it can be no problem...obviously, though, using it as it's been used here the last couple of days is just not making anyone happy.

I appreciate you sticking to your point, and holding fast against what you see as unreasonable uptightness, but if I were you right about now I'd be recognizing that the only point I was making is that I'm antagonistic, at best. Here and now, the word 'chick' is not particularly welcome...more than usual, in the wake of the whole sexism bruhaha. The reasonable man would ditch it. And he wouldn't turn in a hurry to 'broad,' 'dolly-bird,' or the like, either... :D

[Misunderestimator]

51. Wow,... thank you...

What a great post. :)

[ForrestGump]

62. Shucks, ma'am

Thanks. :D

[Angelus]

52. I've used it all my life.

I'm not going to change when, where, or how I use it because of two or three people on a message board who don't approve of it. If someone doesn't like it, then he/she/it/they can ignore me. Simple as that.

Like I said, I don't want to start anymore meaningless arguments about this. That gets us nowhere, correct?

[Misunderestimator]

55. Two or three?

Besides the fact that I've seen more than just two or three that are offended by your sexism... why is ok to even offend two or three?

Ignore it? No thanks... I've been battling this crap for decades now. And I won't ignore it.

And why is the argument meaningless?

[Angelus]

57. Oh God...

here we go again. :eyes:

How in the hell can it bother you when I'm not even directing it towards you or anyone else here??????????

GEEZ! :eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

59. How in the hell can it not bother you....

that I'm reacting for many women here? How can you not see how you denigrate women by treating them as objects?

[Angelus]

63. How in the hell can it bother you...

when it's not even about you or any other women on this website? You, nor anyone else, is going to change my mind. I don't find this sexist. It's sad if anyone does.

MerriamWebster.com doesn't think it's sexist. Read the bold:

Main Entry: chick
Pronunciation: 'chik
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English chyke, alteration of chiken
1 a : a domestic chicken; especially : one newly hatched b : the young of any bird
2 : CHILD
3 slang : a young woman

I'm done discussing this matter any further.

[Misunderestimator]

65. Oh please... just because it's in a dictionary, doesn't mean

that it isn't sexist. An author of a dictionary is obligated to provide all definitions (thank god we still have that freedom for now).

Just because merriamwebster doesn't describe the word "chick" as offensive... doesn't mean that it's not. Isn't it enough that a lot of women on this board have told you that it's offensive? You think we're lying? You think that I don't cringe every time I see that kind of terminology used? You don't care?

[Angelus]

71. No...actually, I don't.

So...next time I find a woman hot, I cannot use the word "chick"? What kind of crap am I going to have to say..."that mature woman looks quite attractive"? BS. I'm going to keep saying "what a hot chick".

There isn't a damn think you can do that will change my mind.

[ForrestGump]

60. I tend to sympathize with your steadfastness, but

-- and I'd never automatically assume that someone who used this term was actually sexist at heart -- it's just such a touchy word, especially here and now, that you're guaranteed to start meaningless arguments by slipping it in to various threads.

You can't deny that, can you? Like I said, I'm not assuming that you;re some sexist or misogynist, but the way you're going with this stupid little word is likely to get you labeled one or the other, or as someone who's just looking for trouble. Don't care about labels? Fine. But don't be surprised when those meaningless arguments that you seek to avoid follow you and the Other C-Word on your wanders about DU.

Nobody's asking you to sell out or compromise your Self: we all need to be a little sensitive and, obviously, a significant portion of your audience is peeved at usage of that and similar words. Who knows, maybe three days from now someone could type "man, that (whoever) is a tough chick" and it'd be fine, but you'd have to be an idiot not to recognize that the word's particularly incendiary now because it's a touchstone to a deeper controversy that's revealed a lot of not-so-wonderful stuff from all 'sides' involved.

Please, just let the silly word go. It'll still be there for when the time and place are right and nobody ascribes a spurious (I hope) agenda to you. After all, if we don't stop calling htem chicks, they're gonna start calling us pigs. And they;d be right, whether we're truly sexist pigs or just being non-constructively pig-headed.

[Angelus]

64. I'm sorry.

I'm going to stick to my beliefs. I hate it when I can't use a word that "isn't allowed" by a few people because it may "be bad or wrong". If the word was so sexist and whatnot, the admins would ban it from the site, no?

You are right, I'm not sexist. In fact, I love women. I'm all about equal rights for women and whatnot (don't need to go into the whole story). I just don't see any point on getting all worked up over a word that isn't bad at all. :shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

67. Equal rights and whatnot....

Oh man... as if it's some little thing... I'm glad you're all for it, though judging from your words, I'd say you're full of it. What about if we wimmin folk judge you by the size of your penis? Fuck the fact that you might be intelligent and thoughtful, all we care about is the size of your penis. If you don't measure up... too bad.

[Angelus]

72. That I don't have to worry about.

;)

[Syrinx]

73. this is stupid

You got mad because I said Britney Spears was pretty, and Angelus called some female person "a chick." This is your complaint?

Wake up woman!

We've got a lot of big problems to worry about. This is just silly.

(I left out of or something.)

[Angelus]

74. This is even more pathetic than the "bitch" threads...

from a while back, isn't it?

I agree. This is the stupidest shit I've ever seen on this website thus far.

[Misunderestimator]

78. Wow, angelus...

...the stupidest shit you've ever seen on this website.

Well, Thanks!

Maybe you can stop for just a minute and think about what you've been doing for the past few days, throwing around this incendiary use of the word "chick" into every thread where you find the least bit of context to throw it. You KNOW it is offensive, so why do you keep doing it?

I really don't get it.

[Misunderestimator]

79. No I did not get mad at anything you said...

I was set off by the "hot chick" comment from Angelus... and unless you've been reading all the anti-feminist threads in the past couple of days, it might have been lost on you why I reacted as I did.

Peace

[ForrestGump]

69. Yeah, nothing wrong with the word

Just the context.

That doesn't even mean you're necessarily wrong. In fact, it kind of verges on one of those who's-going-to-be-the-bigger-man situations (my use of 'man' here includes chicks womyn).

Good luck to you, my fellow astronaut. I wish you'd find another pet word for at least the next few days but, yeah, you've got to be who you've got to be, and any form of censorship (including self- ) is generally odious. I still think that you could have picked a better battle, if one needed to be picked at all. Just don't be surprised if you get savaged and accused of being things that you're not.

[ForrestGump]

30. I agree. She can be 'sexy,' I guess, but I've met and certainly seen

bazillions of women who I'd consider orders of magnitude more attractive, physically (to me). And then there's the whole nonphysical side of things to consider...

[RummyTheDummy]

5. I'm not sure I believe it

If you notice he refers to his mother as "mum" and talks about how his parents and Britney's parents "rang" their hotel room. These were in direct quotes.

How many 22-year-old guys from Louisiana do you know who talk that way?

[qazplm]

10. yeah

I think you are right.

[chaska]

12. I guess I must be the only one that doesn't find her terribly...

attractive. When I look at her I just see the same damn dumb, dime-a-dozen, Southern blond chick type that I'm so happy that we don't have here in California.

Note: I'm a native Southerner, I can say this. No disrespect intended to intelligent Southern women. I love you, you are a rare bird indeed. There is nothing cooler than an intelligent Southerner.

[Misunderestimator]

17. And I guess too...

that you didn't mean any disrespect with the "chick" comment. Are you actually saying that you don't have any Southern blonde types in California? I've seen different, but I don't live there. (A native southerner here myself.)

[Syrinx]

18. I know lots of smart Southern women

And lots of smart Souther men, for that matter.

[Misunderestimator]

20. Yep... it's all an accident of birth...

There are plenty of smart people born in the South. Then they move. (just kidding, but I did... now I'm back in the South... someone SAVE me.)

[RebelOne]

81. Yep, and I am one of them.

[SunDrop23]

25. I don't find her attractive either

[neverborn]

40. She's not attractive.

[ForrestGump]

33. Not unusual for US newspapers to Americanize foreign versions of English

or for British, etc, to return the favor. Doesn;t matter that it's in quotes: I've been quoted, directly, in newspapers and not once were the actual words mine. Just as documentaries are somewhat misnamed, so are even the most respected news outlets rightly assumed to only base their stories on strictest fact.

[RummyTheDummy]

76. My street smarts tell me its a ruse

And when you put "" in a story, it should be verbatim. If someone misquoted you, you should be pissed.

[girl gone mad]

6. Wrecked his life?

Didn't he get payed millions to walk away?

[LTR]

8. Shit, if all this were true

I'd still be smiling if I were him.

That's something to tell the grandkids. And anybody else that will believe you.

And get paid for it? Ummmm, OKAY!

[Cats Against Frist]

13. "I think he was a bit gobsmacked, but he did it."

No American says this.

And it was a direct quote.

[terrya]

47. She gets to get married for 55 hours. Gay people can't get married, period

This STILL pisses me off.

[ForrestGump]

53. Dude, what did she DO to him during those 55 hours?!?

Jason Alexander before the wedding:



After:

[LTR]

61. Well, since my good-natured thread has turned into a flame fest...

...Time to get back on topic.

Here's a little more from the article:

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/story_pages/news/news1.shtml

"I wanted to make love to her and she wasn't shy in showing what she wanted. We started off in the bedroom kissing. She was good at that—she was good at everything. She was an animal in bed.

"We were both hot so I led her into the bathroom. There was a huge shower head that sent water down on to us as though it was rain. We stripped off competely and got into the shower and Britney performed (a Lewinsky) on me as the water ran down over both of us.

"Afterwards I led her back into the bedroom. At first she was on top of me and then I was on top. We did it every way you could. But it wasn't cheap. I really cared about her and it felt right.

"At times she was noisy. She didn't call me any names, she just moaned. We didn't use any precautions either."

[jdonaldball]

77. Didn't the poor guy realize

she was just making a music video?

[mvd]

80. Well, he was cool with the brief marriage at first

So I think he might not be telling the truth. I wouldn't put it past Britney, though, as the new guy in her life was involved with someone when Britney interfered.

As for Britney being attractive, she used to be - but now, too often she looks worn down.
