Britney Spears: The Marrying Kind

Britney, Childish Bride

Winning the bumper prize for first celebrity bad idea of the New Year (if Michael Jackson's CBS interview happened one week later, he'd have it sewn up), Britney Spears marries a childhood friend in Las Vegas. For us, the cherry on the top is her being escorted down the aisle by a bellhop. As reports say it was a joke and that the two are planning an annulment already, Gothamist would like to point out that friends don't let friends marry each other while drunk...hook up, sure, but not elope. That's just...embarrassing.

Of course, Uncle Grambo at Whatevs.org has detailed thoughts on the marriage, including a link to the wedding license. He also notes the George Costanza connection, in spite of the media's attempt to cover it up by naming the groom's full name, "Jason Allen Alexander."

We can't wait until her mom's next column, "Lynne's Corner," on Britney's website.

Updated: low culture has a wedding photo of Britney Spears and Jason Alexander. And Britney's label, Jive, announces that she will be annuling the marriage; the world waits for Alexander to cash in on being the ex Mr. Spears. Well, Britney, everyone needs a starter marriage or two, just ask J. Lo and Madonna.

as always, thanks for the buzz. looks like an annulment is in George Costanza's future. wonder if he hit the skins, Durst stizz?

this story is so new that her husbands name doesn't even come up in google yet. Well actually it does...it seems that a "jason allen alexander" graduated from Iowa State U with a degree in computer engineering. Jay, welcome to the world of no privacy.

Here's the link.

Is anyone else bored with all this "I need attention" stuff? She does these things like half nude covers and kissing M and then she back tracks like "ooh... it wasn’t me or what was I thinking?"

She is the material girl - NOT!

sigh. there is little in this world that makes me more depressed than "celebrity life imitates bad Friends reruns."

Man... once my mom discovers that you can get married "by accident" I'll never hear the end of it!!

gee, could britney desecrate one more thing in life?

beside the fact that she...

...tipped pop music into a musical dead-zone/psychic trough

...made no waist pants -- and panties -- obsolete (i love my granny panties!)

...brought ghetto ebonics to all good christians from the south

now she's crapped all over the quickie vegas wedding!

hmmm..i heard on the Today Show this morning it was her Limo driver that walked her down the aisle, not a bellhop.

Hey Jen, Didn't you get a look at my clever pun-filled photoshopped marriage license I was able to "obtain"? I had myself laughing for hours!

Anyway, good thing Britney is getting the marriage annuled today, so I still have a chance!

erika -- you forgot the fact that she made anorexia and slutty clothes the coolest style.

yeah, i'll mention that to my neices when they recover from over-exercising, tan bed radiation, fake blonde hair extensions -- after they try out for that wannabe reality porn star show...

hey, not yet a woman... just a girl... in the, uh, zone?

What an awful publicity stunt. I knew when I saw the news come across the AP that the "marriage" was going to be one that ended sooner than the news of it got out.

Can't they think of better things to do to light a fire under this chick's post-teen career?

hi listen britney just wants wots best for herself and to keep up all the attension she can get to sell her latest album :in the zone"
