F%$#ing Britney's Dating Habits Are Making Sarcasm Obsolete!
from the Dammit, Slow Down Girl! My Meager Wit Can't Keep Up! dept.
Across the pond, the Sun is claiming that Britney Spears was SO annoyed by photos of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz holding hands (currently doing the rounds of the more discerning tabloids, and while I'm at it, who dresses Cameron? That top makes her look like a pregnant fishwife...) that she's *ahem* now dating Cameron-ex Jared "Gin Blossoms Rule" Leto to gain a measure of revenge against the TRUE happy couple. I just can't top this.

Kelly Osbourne: Terrorist Scum!
from the Airport Security DOES NOT Makes Mistakes, My Friend dept.
Kelly Osbourne recently related the sordid facts behind her brush with international airport security: "I nearly got arrested at the airport. I got put in this security room with four guards because my bag wouldn't go through the X-ray machine. They thought I had a gun in there... After about an hour they opened my bag and found... a pair of platform shoes." Sounds suspicious to me, hey, sounds downright guilty to me! Those platform shoes could have hidden deadly throwing stars! In fact, she should be sent to a re-education camp immediately. And send her dumb boyfriend from the Transplants, to boot. Keys must be swallowed, people!
