For First Interview In Two Years, Britney Spears Poses With Children, Cheetos
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 8:46 AM on August 14, 2008
After a brief, fruitful detour into Crazytown, pop starlet Britney Spears appeared to be on the mend: first there was the How I Met Your Mother cameo, then a sanity-spurred decline in baiting the paparazzi, then even a self-mocking MTV promo taped with Russell Brand! Things seemed to be going so well that we hardly batted an eye when OK! announced that Spears would be granting them her first interview in two years (after memorably storming out of her last encounter with the magazine).
Then we saw the pictures. And the bag of Cheetos.
Britney, Britney, Britney. Shouldn't you know by now that you've become so associated with a white-trash, Cheetos-chomping image that the last thing you should do is give the snack food priority placement during your comeback photoshoot?
At least Spears evinced a semblance of self-awareness when she vetoed the idea that her children might follow her into the entertainment industry. Says OK!:
Perhaps some of Britney's reluctance comes from seeing her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, have to face so much public scrutiny over her recent pregnancy. "I was shocked a little bit," says Brit. "She's always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling."
Though Britney may have been shocked by her sister's pregnancy, she soon came around after reading the galleys from her mother's upcoming book, The Lynne Spears Guide to Fucking Up Your Children. After reading Chapter 10 ("Babies Having Babies Having Increased Earning Potential"), Brit-Brit kicked up her feet and opened a brand-new, celebratory bag of Cheetos Cracker Trax.

I'm all aboard Team Brit. If Cheetos are a vice she can't give up, whatever. She looks great and seems happy.

@RocketRockit: Or, as I like to say, you can take the trash out of the trailer, but you can't take the trailer out of the trash.
Or something to that effect.

Y'all know that cheetos are the cadillac of cheese snacks, as opposed...the cheese doodle. Everone knows that Chester Cheetah is on the Spears' family crest.

It's really just that they're the source of her strange orange tan. Also, they're full of preservatives, so she thinks this way she'll never die.

@Passwordforgetter: and/or she feeds the kiddles cheetos and orange crush as their 'milk' and 'fruit'. I'm sure they get their green veggies in the form of pickles. Crap diet and no naps will give a 3 year old that 'look'.

Somethings wane: such as a seething disdain for your young children; while other things, like a deep abiding love for processed articial cheese-food product, never die.

@raincoaster: Exactly - her insides are totally pickled.
Oh how I would love to hire her a staff - stylist to make her stop wearing her hair like she just woke up, publicist to get her a better first interview than "OK!" and maybe a nutritionist just to make sure she gets a vegetable in here and there.

Eh, better cheetos than cocaine, I say. On a side note, I can't look at that photo without hearing the drunk voice of one of my relatives drawling, "Ah waunt sum cheeetoees! Lets go git some" Ah, summertime.

Britney is such a snack classicist. No "chili lime" or "flaming hot" flavors for her! She likes the standards.

If she didn't deliberately put those Cheetos front-and-center as a good-humored parody of her own image, she oughtta be carrying a sign at the next Tropic Thunder protest.

Team Britney!
Recovering from alleged mental illness/drug abuse isn't a joke.
And then to have to do so with the world watching (and waiting for you to screw up) ... like it or not, that takes some fortitude.
It's time to give her credit and stop hating on the girl ... Britney has really seemed to turn things around and good for her ...
She's the American dream achieved, destroyed and restored.

Really?? Only white trash people eat Cheetos?? It seems like a pretty normal "Mom" thing to me.

Anyone that goes from trailer trash to high society knows that Cheese Puffs are WAAAY more civilized than Cheetos.
