Also, it seems that she was videotaped earlier this week speaking in a faux British accent ( ) ordering Sam Lufti (her boyfriend???) out of the driver's seat of her black Mercedes-Benz shouting at him "I want to drive my f***ing car".

Things are looking up for my pick as to when she will get out. Her parents are trying to get conservatorship over her. Sounds like involunatry commitment to me.

Yeah. I have been posting a little over there. If they unfairly moderate any of my posts then I'll stop.

Her parents would be able to make decisions about her health, control her money, etc.

Hard to believe he ended up in a christian rock band given some of the pranks he got involved in...

Its no Stipe or Duncan Phillips. My brush with celebrity musician is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev4tIDEnmps

The song actually made it to number 10 on the Billboard charts. I've never talked to anybody that remembers it.

Jimmy Harnen dated my sister-in-law's sister for many years. He even thanked my brother on the album liner. The song is purportedly about a girl named Gretta who sat in front of me in pyschology class. No wonder he didn't use her name in the song.

Ok. Now go brush your teeth before you get cavities from listening to it.

I don't remember the song. I could see how it charted. And I can see why Frigo, the alternative rocker, would be brushing his teeth...

I was a little personal in revealing Duncan's oversized schlong... but I gave him the chance. I emailed him on his band's website. Considering our background and the fact that we are both now USA residents (and him being a devout Christian), I thought he would respond. But nothing for about six months so far.

Maybe his publicist/receptionist didn't pass on the message? Or maybe I wasn't as close to him as I thought I was...

Sounds like the start of REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight This Feeling"

rofl . . . .

My 8 year old, in his many years of wisdom (granted, he is more astute than the average 8 year old) . . . . for the last 2 nights when he heard highlights or news clips regarding Britney Spears he simply asked, "why do they keep reporting on Britney Spears?" Hubby and I pretty much just ignored it as it seemed rhetorical in nature.

Tonight at dinner the tv was on in the background. Britney news was on as usual. my son, in a completed disgusted and frustrated tone says, "Uuugh, WHY do they keep reporting on Britney Spears? WHY is she ALWAYS in the news?" "What has she done to be in the news every single day?" To which I responded, "good question. Nothing."

My son is still frustrated in my response and says he's serious. Who is she? What has she done? I decided to use it as a teaching example and blamed all of her erratic behavior on drugs and explained how she used to be very talented (ok, it's part of the lesson, alright?) and she ruined her life by doing drugs.

So, now he's intrigued by her. Wants to see/hear her songs/videos. So I begin by showing him this. He's not really that impressed, though he was rather intrigued with her in the red suit in particular. So, he wanted more of a history lesson on Britney (important American history to the kid since it's on the news more than election coverage). So, then I explain she was really a talented dancer and singer at an early age (I know, I know), which is what made her famous and we watched this. He really wasn't impressed with her looks in that one and didn't see all the hype thus far, and I explained that was when she was younger and I actually think she was prettier in her later stuff when she went blonde.

So, he begs to see her as a blonde. I tell him I'm not so sure her videos at that point would be appropriate, but we went ahead and watched this. As soon as he sees her in the barely there fleshed-colored sequined get up, he says in shear awe, "wow Mom. She's beautiful there." I'm convinced this is innate in men, from birth. This is not learned behavior. He was the same way watching women's figure skating at the age of 2.

We finished our very important history lesson with this one, to which he said in frustration: "Why does she keep saying that? That she's not a girl. If she's not a girl, what is she then?"

Gotta love the world through a child's eyes.

Flesh colored sequined get up? That is actually a lot of crystals glued on to her bare skin (she herself said this on a E! feature).

Oh, it is definitely involuntary commitment. And she and her assets have already been placed under the conservatorship of her Dad until Feb 4 (at which point there will be a hearing to decide what's to be done). And the court has placed a restraining order on Sam Lutfi, and has given permission to change the locks on her estate and remove anyone who was there.

Anyone seen italiano's latest post in the thread about Boonen? http://www.cyclingforums.com/showpos...6&postcount=27

He almost seems obsessed with C'Girl; a bit disturbing.
