But Britney. Oh, poor little Britney Spears. According to Forbes:
The biggest disappointment at the newsstand? Yep, it's Britney Spears. Ironically, she landed 18 single covers during the six-month period, which also makes her the most popular cover-subject choice. With her face on the cover, glossies collectively sold some 600,000 issues below average, placing her last among cover subjects when it comes to sales. Also working against the former pop tart: an abnormally low appeal score of 3. In fact, the only celebrity faring worse was celebutante Paris Hilton, who scored a 2.
Apparently people just take for granted that Britney's personal life is a train wreck -- to say nothing of her career, whose current state was pretty much summed up by her possibly-drunken VMA performance. It's not even worth following anymore, because every new twist and turn is just unneeded confirmation of something we already know: Britney Spears is messed up.
