It's interesting to see what drops by the wayside when distilling the essence of pop culture. Let's compare Britney with Christina Aguilera. Both became popular at almost exactly the same time. Both swapped spit with Madonna on MTV. Christina's newest album went to #1, and the third single from it is still charting on Billboard.
But take a look at this:
The one with the critically acclaimed, immensely popular record is getting less than forty precent of the publicity that Commando Britney's getting. Yeah, it's probably not fair comparing them the week Britney decides to go all Sinead on us, but then again, why should a haircut make so much news?
Another interesting aspect is the reasons I've been hearing. One rumor is that this is for some sort of performance piece--a music video or something. Another was that she doesn't want to be a sex symbol anymore. Do either of these excuses ring true to any of you?
Me neither.

if christina were still wearing those leather chaps and talking about clit piercings, she might be making more headlines. it's interesting that her recent disclosure that she and her husbands spend sundays naked made more news than her killer grammy performance.
as for the britster, someone needs to guide this girl out of the mess she's in. she seems like a lost little puppy to me. and i do not understand our fascination with her.
Whew. I just wrote about this exact same thing today.
As for the Christina comparison, there is NO comparison. Anybody who watched the grammys this year- all five of us- knows this. She's grown up enough now that she's too busy making great records and spending naked sundays with her hubby to pull publicity stunts.
However...she is for sure lost. She needs help and it bothers me badly that she's not getting it.
Ok, you're taking the easy ones on this blog. Paris & Britney? Who's next, Lindsey Lohan? C'mon... don't wimp out... you can find some celery with a BIT more fiber can't you? How about some male celery? We know they're out there, and we're counting on you!!
