Did Y'All See the Britney Spears/Matt Lauer Trainwreck Last Night?

I watched the interview, wanting to root for Britney and at points I did (the tears did it to me--who can hate on a pregnant, crying, hillbilly--Maury Povich has gotten rich off chicks like this), but she needs to be reprimanded for some basic things that happened during this interview:

1. Accountability--Pouting and saying "we're country" as an excuse to drive with your baby on your lap, no matter what the paparazzi are doing, is ridiculous. What if there was an accident? Are Baby's Crushed Ribcage or Baby's Brains on the Dashboard "country" too? I didn't think so. If she owned up to it and said "I realize now that I made a mistake," I might be able to look past this. But she was defending her decision and that makes her look like a moron. As far as tripping, or the kid falling, or even the fucked-up car seat, I can let that slide, but this? No. What was she thinking?

2. Honesty: She is lying about her relationship with Kevin, and boy oh boy, she sure is a crappy liar. Every time she is asked a question about their relationship, she looks at the floor (maybe to the basement, where he is likely staying), the wall, the sky--but mostly the floor. The fact that Kevin, publicity whore, did not want to be interviewed, speaks volumes. This is not a happy couple, but Brit did this to herself--I mean, she didn't "know" for 2 months that he had a pregnant girlfriend? I don't buy that for one second. This guy is a cancer, but as long as she will finance him, he's not going anywhere. Sad.

3. For being worth 100 million dollars, come on now. I am work from home in my pajamas and spend most of the day talking to my dog, and even I manage to pull it together better than her. Why would she choose to do this type of an interview with no stylist? That mascara clump was unforgivable. The Joyce Leslie ensemble, the purple fingernails, the thumb ring (I have an aversion to thumb rings), and the Gor-Jess hair extensions? Why? WHY WHY WHY? I really do not understand. I know she doesn't want to listen to anyone anymore, but perhaps listening to a Gay Who Knows Better might have helped her here. Very sad, especially when clips of her as a younger, hotter, smarter girl were shown throughout in comparison.

Britney seems like a nice person--simple-minded, yes, but nice. And remember, she is only 24, which I think has a lot to do with the decisions she's made. Sadly, I look at her and think she is so much older--she looks tired. She IS tired. I hope she's invested her money well.

You know somewhere, Christina Aguilera is watching that interview over and over on Tivo and cackling through her red lipstick
