The Bellamy Brothers, legendary country group sued Britney Spears, accusing her of ripping off their song of the same title. The songwriter who wrote Britney’s version, filed a counter suit.
TMZ, reports.
Team Britney would probably win. Everybody knows that. Money and power will do the trick.

I’m no fan but I guess she deserves this. Happy birthday to Brit. Like her or not, she had quite a roller coaster ride in her career and life. She was pretty interesting. Had a lot of controversy: everything from going bald, fighting back at the paps, Madonna/Brit lesbo kiss, her comeback at the MTV Music Awards, etc. It maybe crazy but this was incredible stuff. I think 20 years from now, she’s going to be considered the next Anna Nicole Smith. Happy Birthday to Brit.
And I agree with TMZ, I’m surprised she survived another year.

I just want to respond to this:
http://www.tmz.com/2009/11/25/early-show-censors-gay-kiss-when-its-men/
There is a reason that girl on girl action doesn’t get censored on TV and man on man action does. That word again, the “ick factor”. Look it up if you don’t know what it means.
I’ve said in a blog post that people are used to seeing girl on girl make out action, while most people don’t want to see man on man action. It’s really quite simple to understand.
Do you ever wonder why in “soft core porn”, they are willing to show the woman fully naked but they never show the man’s privates? It’s that “ick factor” that straight men don’t wanna see. If you want to see everything, watch the hardcore porn.
Man on man action and male nudity is not allowed on regular TV for many reasons. Basically, the only reason is that the soft core porn industry and regular TV don’t want to turn off the straight male viewers.
I don’t see a double standard in any of this at all. It’s just the people’s way of defending “equality” and gay rights.
The censoring on the “Early Show” and cancelling the Good Morning America performance, has nothing to do with Adam Lambert. It’s all about the material that is being brought in the performance.
I agree with the censoring. I don’t think any guy would want to wake up in the morning and while switching channels you see that going on while he’s drinking coffee or something before work.
Girl on girl kissing is less graphic than man on man action.
On top of that, this isn’t the first time that famous bands brought in homosexual material into their performances. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers has done it many times, also David Bowie and Nirvana has done it. Kurt Cobain and Dave Grohl made out on stage plenty of times.
Adam Lambert needs to leave this stuff at the gay bars. This is where he needs to go back to performing, not on TV. I’m not being anti-gay. Adam Lambert is an attention whore with a capital W and he’s just doing whatever it takes to help promote his upcoming album.

I barely ever post about her anymore, but I find this story to be pretty interesting, that I think it’s worth posting in my blog. Britney Spears father, Jamie Spears, goes mad at the internet. He’s so pissed at Britney’s no. 1 fan who made a fansite for her that became very popular on the web.
Check out BreatheHeavy.com which was forced to close down by Britney’s lawyers:
That blog owner vows to fight back at the Britney Spears camp. Oh boy, more Britney Spears drama, here we go!!!
My 2cents to Jordan Miller. BACK OFF THE SPEARS FAMILY!! If you were such a true no. 1 fan of your hero, you would respect their wishes and do as they want. Respect Britney’s work and image like a true fan. We’re talking Britney FUCKING Spears here. You’re dealing with some pretty powerful and sleazy people who are dangerous and nasty, these people will take you down fast, man. They will make your head spin. Are you ready to lose EVERYTHING you got?
Britney is a drama queen and she gets everything she wants, due to her power and fame. Take the website off and move on. Don’t mess with these people, dude. While I agree what Britney and her father are doing to you is wrong and pretty mean, I would back off immediately and not make this personal.
Really, don’t mess with the rich and famous. They’ll take everything you got. You can’t win. Yes, there is freedom of speech but famous people have all the right to take legal action on people who use their name and image without their consent.
I’m not defending Britney Spears as I hate her guts myself, but I’ll say again if you were a fan, you treat her with respect and do like she asks. Don’t fuck with these people. They’ll make your life a living hell like they said in their threats.
Jordan Miller, LET IT GO and BACK OFF!!!!! You don’t know what kind of people you’re dealing with!!!!

Yes, I know, another Quentin Tarantino post! I can’t help it! He’s one of my favorite film makers! Quentin Tarantino himself and Britney’s lawyers finally got the time to shoot down rumours of the Brit Brit starring in the remake of “Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill”.
MTV Movies Blog reports:
Now all the Britney haters can sigh with relief!
I imagine Tarantino will get right to work on “Faster Pussycat” after he completes “Inglorious Bastards”. Since Tarantino is working on “Inglorious Bastards” very soon and quickly.
I’m so happy for Quentin that he’s finally directing his own movies again after a long hiatus!

Madonna spoke out to the media telling them that she wants them to leave Britney Spears alone. As everyone knows, Madonna and Britney have had a longtime friendship but in the picture above they briefly appeared to be more than just friends. Madonna still has love for Britney today.

I agree.
I said it before and wouldn’t mind saying it again. Who cares about Britney Spears? Everyone needs to stop obsessing with her and stop giving her the attention she doesn’t deserve. There is more to life than Britney Spears folks. Worry about your own life, so she can worry about hers.
I hardily ever blog about her ’cause I’m sick of her. I find gossip websites like TMZ and perezhilton to be partially responsible in the media being all over her.
I’m sick of seeing Britney all over google news and other entertainment news sites.
It’s a free fucking country, why can’t Britney have it? Who cares if she likes to drive cars with kids in it or with dogs on her lap? Who cares if she wants to have a cup of coffee at a coffeehouse or go do some shopping somewhere?
Britney Spears being in the news all the time will never die down. Leave the girl alone and let her do what she wants!
