A Britney Blog

Note: Though it may go without saying, I am not an avid fan/follower of Britney Spears. I however do not live in a hole and am aware of what goes on in the world. Hence, there are certain times when talking about the Sweetheart turned Slut that I do in fact know what I'm talking about.... hence, this blog.

Note: Though it may go without saying that my previous blog was also about a teen star turned d-bag I would like to again assure you that I am not an avid fan/follower of either star or their fellow artists/actresses - however I wouldn't mind sleeping with them. Again, I simply do not live in a hole and a situation has come up that leads me to again write about a pop-star. I can assure you that I do not follow their misadventures through "US Weekly" and I do not buy their albums. I'm just trying to write a blog.

On that note I hope you see that 2 blogs back to back about pop-stars is purely coincidental and not a frequent thing I write about. With that said, enjoy the blog. PS: Yes, I'm straight.... I just said I'd sleep with them didn't I?

A Britney Blog

I'm at they gym today (as always) and a work-out buddy of mine pops up on the elliptical next to me. Pop-princess Britney Spears comes on the TV screen in front of us and we start talking about the buzz-headed beauty.

Through the coarse of our conversation I make a statement, be it a small one that goes a little something like this....
"I remember when she was on Mickey Mouse Club."
If I remember correctly we were speaking about how long Britney has been around.

So anyways....
He comes back with this:
"Noooo, she was on Kids Incorporated"
An innocent yet understandable mistake to make. After all, bother were on Disney Channel in the afternoon and KI did have Ghost Whispering hottie in the ensemble - Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I correct him, then he tries correcting me.. then vice-versa, and so-on, and so-forth.

After 30 seconds were two grown men on ellipticals arguing over what show Britney Spears was on when she was a kid.

To make a long-story short we end up agreeing to disagree, change conversation, and forget the whole thing. Only now to look back on it and laugh on future elliptical adventures.

You'd think letting sleeping dogs lie would be enough for me right? Think again.

So I come home and put my curious little fingers to the internet - First Wikipedia and would you believe it? All my geekiness paid off.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney_Spears
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Incorporated
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Mickey_Mouse_Club

I was right he was wrong, Britney was on MMC and not KI. The smell of victory - it's a beautiful thing.

So again, you'd think that would be enough for me right? 3 different sources all stating that Briney Spears was never an ensemble member of Kids Incorporated.

However, would partial credit be given to the loser if person in question did a guest appearance on alternate show? It's enough to look into. And now, I was off to IMDB.

After much research I am found correct again that Britney Spears was not or will ever be a credited cast member on Kids Incorporated in any way, shape, or form.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get a life.
