Good for Her

I was really hoping to see her perform, but I'm just happy to see her looking so well. Who else can bomb that bad, come back next year and get a standing ovation just for opening her mouth? Just Britney, bitch.

Beyond that I thought it was super boring... or maybe I've just gotten too old.

Urine Test

I'd love to know who wrote this.

"Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work and they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ASS, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?"

Good for Them

I gotta say, I'm honestly happy for them. They've been together a while and really haven't had too much drama. Maybe these two crazy kids can make it last.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z arrived at Scarsdale Village Hall shortly after it opened at 9 a.m on Tuesday to get their marriage license. "It was just the two of them," an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. "They were very polite and smiling as they filled out the paperwork. They were holding hands for a while. They looked really happy." Could their happiness be because the longtime couple is finally putting the constant wedding and split rumors to rest? Although a rep for Beyoncé, 26, had no comment and a rep for Jay-Z, 38, could not be reached, the courthouse trip is the first real indication that the pair – who first started dating in 2002 – will walk down the aisle. Rumors of a wedding have long followed the couple, and Beyoncé has admitted to thinking about how it would happen. "I don't know when I'll want to get married," she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006. "I never pictured myself as a bride, but after my sister's wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I'd want. I don't think I want a big one."

I'm Happy for Her

Britney Spears
Spears' guest appearance on Monday's How I Met Your Mother helped boost the sitcom by 1 million viewers, Nielsen Media Research stats show.

I don't know why I care, but for some reason I was really rooting for her and I'm happy that she did well and that the cast said she was great. I really hope that she's on an upswing. Having all the money, fame, and power in the world doesn't change the fact that you can have a mental illness and need treatment. How she survived this I don't know. Can you imagine, for lack of a better way to describe it, loosing your mind in front of the entire world and know that they are mocking you? Here's to her recovery.
