Britney Spears: Drama Queen?
The appearance of pop princess Britney Spears on CBS helped boost show ratings and created buzz for weeks, lighting the Internet aflame. Is it possible that Ms. Spears could light the London stage on fire as well?
In what is truly one of the more disturbing pieces of news I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, I have learned there are rumors Brit may be up for the role of - get this - Blanche DuBois in a theatrical production of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The role was made famous by Vivien Leigh (perhaps better known as Scarlett O’Hara), winning her an Oscar for the film version of the Tennessee Williams play (starring a then-unknown Marlon Brando).
Okay. Britney Spears is southern and more than a little tragic - a clear enough parallel to Blanche DuBois. However, Spears is much too young for the role and has never proven herself as anything like a dramatic actress. The tragedy of DuBois would undoubtedly be overshadowed by the tragedy of Britney if she really did play the role, and the alcoholic actions of Blanche may hit too close to Britney’s home for British fans to remain comfortable. Besides all of that, it’s a completely ludicrous idea.

She is crazy because the paparazzi is driving her crazy. I mean she is a NORMAL person who needs privacy. I don't like Britney and her actions are inexcusable.

NAME: Anna AGE: Somewhere between 13 and 16. GENDER: Female LOCATION: 9:59 PM XD MY BRITNEY STORY: When I first heard about her, everybody told me she was a horrible person. So later on, I hear the song "Womanizer", buy her "Circus" CD, and am officially confused why people are against her so much. Why? Because she's a great singer, mother, and even though she had hard times in the past, she's an all around nice person. __________________ 1... 2... 3... Woah, that's dirty.
