And throughly confused since a couple of weeks ago someone asked me if I was in high school. It’s...

Poor, poor Britney Spears. There’s nothing quite like being the opening act at the MTV Video Music Awards and clearly not giving a crap.

It was hilarious! One moment she was there, then BOOM! GONE! To this very day,...
