For a pop star who has made quite the racket drowning us with her own Christmas carols, Britney Spears is set to have a dismal holiday season. A judge has ruled that her father's conservatorship over her is to continue, basically saying, "Brit-Brit ain't mentally fit." It's going to be a sad day of passive aggressively chewing deep-fried turducken at the Spears' household tomorrow.

Tiger Woods may be up to his putter in a mistress scandal, but what's most disturbing about this particular case of martial infidelity is that Tiger's wife is a ridiculously attractive Nordic supermodel. Despite this fact, the man still found it necessary to cheat with strange picked up at various bars across the country. Sure, some of the girls in question aren't too shabby either, but was it really worth it? Now, no one here is advocating cheating on wives or significant others, but if you are a celebrity and you do decide to cheat, at least shoot for an upgrade. For example!

Hey, you ever notice that whenever news or gossip about Britney Spears breaks, she's never cited as a source? Not once? Not even a fabricated quote, culled from tweets and bits "onlookers" have offered to media outlets? What's up with that? Anyway, good news from Team Spears as Britney has lived to see her 28th birthday. It was all looking quite sketchy for a minute there, but I suppose most of us, when placed under situations of extreme duress, would run clippers through our weaves, get some serious ink stained on the back of our necks, and wield umbrellas as if we're re-enacting the 1812 War. Yes! Britney's 28th birthday should be made a national holiday and if you're unemployed, maybe you're celebrating it, albeit unknowingly!

Seriously? This is still an issue? Has Britney really been duping die-hards Down Under for the past decade or so into thinking that when she moves her lips along to words like "Give me a sign / Hit me baby one more time" and "Well baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl / Don't like the backseat, gotta be first," she is intoning vocally? I mean, yes it's some of the most evocative verse since they were able to translate Sappho's greatest hits. But Britney, so preoccupied with keeping her dance steps straight, can't be trusted to remember which notes to hit, let alone to recall the actual polysyllabic components which comprise her tunes. Alas, none of these considerations matter to her harshest critics. Snarly critics who are now shilling tickets to the pop broad's Australian dates with starting bids of just over $1.

Who purchases a ticket to see Britney Spears in tour and actually expects her to sing live these days? She's not Miranda Cosgrove, so let's not hold her to unrealistic expectations. Although some assy member of the Australian parliament has. And what a shocker it is, where said member tears Brit-Brit a new one for not bothering to use the god-given gift of singing when she performs in concert. She insists that concert-goers should be made aware at point of purchase, that the concert probably will not be live. Err, people who know Britney know that they're not going into hear Maria Callas or even a slightly post-crack Whitney. Spears hasn't released a tune in over five years that hasn't been autotuned and vocodered within an inch of its life.

Whether you watched last night's Emmys on a dusty television set or on a shady internet stream prone to buffering and choppy playback (21st century chic, wave of the future, etc.), you probably noticed that TV's landmark three hour salute to TV seemed perkier than years past. And while a number of harsh elements threatened to barrel us to boredom -- like the dual monotone of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Patricia Arquette ("LOL! We both play mediums!" cried JLoHew as we eyed that Ambien hungrily) and Jeff Probst's acceptance speech (seriously -- over Padma Lakshmi?), the night was easily redeemed by over a dozen people. And one of them didn't even need to actually be present for her act of valiance.
