Awful news for many, many single men out there.... From CNN.com Reports: Britney Spears weds childhood friend Sunday, January 4, 2004 Posted: 1:37 AM EST (0637 GMT) LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- Pop star Britney Spears has marched down the aisle in Las Vegas, marrying a childhood friend from Louisiana, according to news reports. The 22-year-old diva married Jason Allen Alexander early Saturday at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip, according to People.com, the online arm of the Time Warner publication. He is from Kentwood, Louisiana, it said. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on its Web site that Spears, 22, and Alexander, 22, were granted a marriage license, citing an affidavit of Application for Marriage License filed January 3. A photo of the signed marriage license was obtained by The Associated Press. Calls to Spears' representatives were not immediately returned. The bride wore jeans and a baseball cap, according to People.com, and had a hotel bellman walk her down the aisle. People.com reported that Spears and Alexander journeyed to the Little White Wedding Chapel after a stop at the Ghostbar, a club in the Palms Casino Hotel. It reported that the chapel staff told the couple that they couldn't get married without a license, so they were reportedly taken by the limo to the Clark County Marriage Bureau office in the downtown Las Vegas courthouse. They applied for and were granted the marriage license, then were driven back to the chapel, where they were married. Spears released her fourth album "In the Zone" in November. It debuted at the top of the album charts. She begins a concert tour March 2 in San Diego.
Jason Alexander? She must have had someone else send out the invitations. Now Jerry has to honor his end of the pact.
The BBC is already reporting that it was a joke that went too far, and is in the process of being annulled... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3366529.stm
It's called: do anything to keep your name in the public while your new album sales lag. She's a publicity w****.
It's official: She annulled. Britney Spears marries childhood pal but quickly annuls LAS VEGAS -- Pop star Britney Spears married a childhood friend from Louisiana in an early-morning ceremony, but quickly arranged to have it annulled, a source close to Spears told The Associated Press today. George Maloof Jr., owner and operator of the Palms Casino Hotel, confirmed that the 22-year-old singer married Jason Allen Alexander about 5:30 a.m. at a Las Vegas wedding chapel. "Nobody knew it was coming," said Maloof, Spears' good friend. A source speaking on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that Spears was a "little stunned" about getting married to Alexander but was not drunk at the time. The source said the two arranged an annulment Saturday afternoon in the presence of several people, including a Las Vegas lawyer. The signed annulment will be official when the courts open Monday morning, the source said. Stupid b****.
Ok, so in this situation, there are several possibilities... 1. She was drunk. 2. She is incredibly stupid. 3. She was being forced to marry on threat of hers or someone else's life. 4. It was a publicity stunt. 5. She thought it was just a joke (see #2). Now, in this instance, I would submit that, assuming no wrongdoing, you would want to just come out and say, "Well, I'm young, we got a little drunk and acted stupid." It's not like she's the first person to have this happen. But to just claim stupidity makes her look worse if that's possible. Just fess up and move on with your life.
