…They both owned themselves today, to my great amusement.
Let’s start with that bastion of good decision-making, Britney Spears. Having previously appeared in critically-slaughtered movie Crossroads in 2002 and guested on Will and Grace in 2006 (insert your own “Oops, I did it again” joke here, I have better things to do with my time), she’s now gone and landed herself a guest role on another American sitcom, How I Met Your Mother (never seen it, sounds crap. I will accept that as fact for the purpose of this post). Now, surely the last thing Troubled Singer Britney Spears (apparently that’s her full name now) needs after much public embarrassment this last year or so is, uh…more public embarrassment. I’ve not seen Crossroads (sounds like I was one of the lucky ones), but I did catch a glimpse of her turn on Will and Grace, and I’m not saying her efforts had anything to do with that particular series promptly ending for good, but…
Speaking of voices I’m tired of hearing, occasional TV host and full-time prat Jeremy Clarkson, who for many people is the number one authority on cars (by “many people” I’m guessing he means his own family, and even they must be reluctant), decided recently that he’d just take a few minutes to make a call on his mobile while driving, and then drove too closely to somebody who both owned a cameraphone (84 million worldwide) and recognised his face (100% of the UK population, says the Ministry of Fabricated Statistics That Are Probably True Anyway) – what were the chances, eh, Jeremy? When asked about the photo that was taken of his law-breaking antics, Clarkson didn’t comment, probably because he couldn’t hear the question what with his head so far up his backside.
Much as I’d rather never to hear of either of these two ever again, it’s little things like this that help me get through the day. Looking forward to Clarkson’s next appearance as guest host of Have I Got News For You now (and I never thought I’d hear myself say that…)
