I’m creating a new awards show for celebrities and the first person to be honored is for "The Best Comeback in All of Hollywood’s History."
Though Cher was a close runner up for jumping back on the charts from out of nowhere, I have to award the title to Miss Britney Spears.
The pop diva, turned crazy wreck, turned comeback queen released her first legitimate music video this past weekend (I don’t count “Pieces of Me”) since “Toxic.” I have never been excited for a music video to come out, but I have to say that I was waiting all week for this one.
“Womanizer” was exactly what I had expected and hoped for – hot, fun and reminiscent of the old Britney. And, it was exactly what she needed.
After everything she had gone through, and after the sad spectacle of her hospitalization in January, it looked as if the old Britney was lost forever, along with her hair. Any thought of a comeback was a joke.
Though it seems like forever since that widely talked about night, it has really only been a short amount of time - less than a year, in fact, and look at her now. She has a CD coming out in December. She just opened for MTV's Video Music Awards. She made a hot music video.
Not only does Britney amaze me with the complete 180 degree turn she made, but she fascinates me as a person in general. Everything about her is novel-worthy. I would definitely buy her life story. Tori Spelling’s autobiography was amazing, but wouldn’t compare to Britney Spears’.
Britney really is one of the most interesting people around around. She grew up in the spotlight and had a booming career by the time she was 18. She was a sex symbol for men in their 20's and even 30's before she could even legally have sex with men of that age (though that didn’t stop her sister).
She had a huge career, a huge public meltdown and, now, a huge comeback. While all of this has been so publicly known and talked about, there still remains so much mystery about the girl.
I’ve had to type out a lot of interviews about Britney Spears, and, yet, even with that “insider knowledge,” I remain as confused as ever about her. What is her relationship with her parents actually like? Who really is the bad guy in her life – Sam Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib or her father?
Her life is like a soap opera. I have this conspiracy theory that everything was actually just part of a huge publicity stunt. However, I thought that about Nicole Ritchie’s pregnancy too, but look how that turned out. Who would have thought that she was actually pregnant? Not I.
Furthermore, that intrigue has made her family tons of money with her mom’s book, the many magazine covers they’ve sold and now the hype over Britney’s comeback.
When you think about it – who really turns their life around in less than a year? She was shaving her head, attacking people with umbrellas and not sleeping for days on end, according to numerous reports. It’s just too unbelievable.
Regardless of whether or not everything has been real, I still have to give credit where credit is due – Britney Spears is what celebrity is all about – intrigue.
