Britney Spears Talks to Matt Lauer
Former popstar Britney Spears has had enough of the media making claims about her and the choices that she makes. She took the advice of her spiritual advisor and decided to open up in an interview with Matt Lauer that aired in June 2006. Check out the things that Britney had to say about being married to Kevin Federline, being a good mom, and even starting her own clothing line.
On her hard working husband Kevin Federline:
"He's very simple. Women complicate everything. He cares so much and his heart is awesome. He has a really big heart and I love that. You know, he has children now that he wants to support and not just let it be all me. He's a man. I think it's very important to him that he is doing his own thing."
Kevin has a really big heart? It's so big that at one point, he even split his love time between then pregnant Shar Jackson and Britney Spears. And if doing his own thing includes partying until all hours of the night and pretending to record tracks to an album that no one will ever buy anyway, then I applaud the guy for meeting his goals.
On her plans to launch a baby clothing line:
"I have a baby clothes line that's supposed to be coming out. And it's called "Babies are Rock and Roll."
Babies are more than just rock and roll, as I'm sure Britney is learning from experience. Babies are also hard work as they rely on you to keep them safe from harmful things like sitting on your lap while you drive or not dropping them on the street. Maybe Britney should re-name her clothing line "Babies are Easy When You Have a Manny."
On almost dropping her baby in NYC:
"Actually, I didn't trip on anything. It was a New York street, and just cobblestones. And I was walking and I don't think we were prepared with security, cause I've never had that much paparazzi ever on me in New York. So I think it was a mixture of so many paparazzi and how the road was all messed up, me just trying to get in the car."
What a way to accept responsibility for your actions Miss Britney. I can see how those streets of New York can get super tricky and difficult to navigate while carrying a baby. More like, it's not easy to juggle your baby in one hand and a Starbucks latte in the other while simultaneously trying to pose for the paparazzi cameras.
On Kevin’s status when they met (he had a pregnant girlfriend):
"Actually, I didn’t know. I didn't know until two months later. But I don't blame him because him and his friends - I’ve talked to his friends about this. They weren’t technically together when he came to me anyways. But that happened with Julia Roberts too. Her husband was married. But for some reason it’s like, “boom, in your face” when it happens with me and it’s really none of anybody’s business."
It's actually kind of cute the way she compares herself to a legendary actress like Julia Roberts. While it may be true that Danny Moder was married when he met Julia, what does any of that have to do with Britney?
She needs to take responsibility for her actions with Kevin once and for all. She needs to stand up proudly and accept her ribbon that says “#1 Home Wrecker”. That is of course if Denise Richards chooses not to accept it first.
