I find it mildly amusing that anyone with some sort of celebrity these days can claim to have talent beyond what they are famous for. Witness J.Lo's failing clothing line. Newsflash to Jennifer! No one likes your trampy getup! And another flash, no one really likes you! I remember when I was sixteen years old, I wrote my first novel. Admittedly it wasn't the greatest, but it had some originality and was on par with enough of the crap that gets published out there. Meanwhile, Rebecca Lobo, some hotshot UMASS basketball player, gets some publishing deal simply because she has gone to the WNBA (another failed commercial venture, I might add). I doubt she has much literary talent. Indeed, she and Dennis Rodman both got ghost writers. Boy was I bitter.
But this new line of cosmetics really takes the cake. Britney Spears Cosmetics? PUHLEEZE. Just because the girl can wave her ass around and make sexual grunting noises (passing that off as signing) doesn't make her qualified to design fragrances and cosmetics. I mean look at her, she looks like a whore! What's the fragrance going to be, "Eau De Tramp?" Sheeit.
