Brit says she’s sad; Speidi elope, kind of

Britney Spears’ documentary “For the Record” aired Sunday night in which the princess of pop opened up and allowed cameras (and us oh-so-fortunate viewers) inside her life. She wanted to let us see the “real” Britney and I’m not sure how much she helped herself out with that idea.

Every girl wants an ‘Edward’

He’s looked at by some as abusive and controlling. Hundreds more swoon and dream about him watching over them. Edward Cullen has been rocketed to fame beyond the Beatles in a few short years.
