One Stop Weird Shoppe

I opened my brain, and look what fell out

Isn't that the point, Brit?

Pop princess Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline will make a reality television show in a bid to counter tabloid press gossip about them, Daily Variety said on Tuesday.
...
"I am now going to be expressing my personal life through art," said the blonde bombshell.


Bob snapped the newspaper shut and slapped it on the table.
Dammit! How did this little pop tart have all the answers to creating art?
He needed to spread the word.
Opening his leather-bound address book, one that had his BD monogram on front, Bob turned to the Ss.
"Bruce, Bruce, you'll never believe what I just read!"
"Bob, I've told you so many times, you need to enunciate." His own thick New Jersey accent rendered the scolding ironic.
"Forget that, Bruce." But Bob obeyed: The speaking that had sparked many an imitation was more understandable when he said, "Look, even in Jersey, you can go online, right? Go Google 'Britney Spears' and 'art.' "
"Very funny," Bruce said. "Can those two items even exist in the same universe?"
"No, really, just do it."
As Bruce logged on, he and Bob chatted about their music until Bob heard a sharp intake of breath and "Oh dear Lord."
Bob knew then that Bruce had found the news item that had set his own brain waves on fire only moments earlier.
"Bob, do you know how this could revolutionize music? If singer/songwriters around the world knew about putting their personal lives through music ... " For once, even the "boss" was at a loss for words.
"At not just music, Bruce, ALL art. Movies, paintings, books -- if people started mining their own lives for inspiration? Think of how ALL art would change?"
Bruce and Bob sat in a cocoon of their thoughts.
Bruce finally cut through the silence.
"It's too radical. It would never work, people expressing their personal lives through art."
"I know, I know." Bob sighed. "But it's nice to dream.
"It's oh so lovely to dream."
