Ms. Britney Spears and Mr. Lucky nee Federline, pulled off the not unimpressive feat of simultaneously surprising, both absolutely no-one and the entire world, when they eloped Saturday night, in LA, at the home of the tailor who designed the groom's tuxedo (Ugh. Man. Can you even imagine?). The official accounts of how the nuptials went down are predictably shamtastic sounding. For example:
"Mom Lynne and little sis Jamie Lynn were among about 20 stunned family members and friends at Saturday's nuptials. According to Access Hollywood, which spent Saturday afternoon with Lynne and Jamie Lynn, the family was preparing for an engagement party."
Whatever. So why the change in plans?
"(The wedding was moved up) by a furious Britney after she learned that details had leaked out of their planned nuptials at the plush Bacara resort in Santa Barbara on November 20. '...hoping to catch the Press off guard'"
Err-- again, why the change in plans? We expect it had to do with boosting sales for her single "My Prerogative" -- a cover of Bobby Brown's '88 platinum hit -- which, released last week, has reportedly been selling poorly. Indeed, the video for the single depicts Federline and Spears being married, thus tying her pop career to her personal life so closely as to make her a sort of million dollar performance artist -- or, more to the point, as close to a reality-show star as she can get without actually being in one (how far off is that possible career path anyway?).
So, in the best possible worlds -- which naturally bars a reality show -- could this marriage possibly last six-months? This is, of course, her second marriage, the first having lasted all of 55 hrs. We bet Brit’s mom had the pre-nup for this one smelt in a foundry. (AP) (NOTW)
