Ellen & Britney Spread the Xmas Cheer

Britney Spears is looking surprisingly sane and lucid in this video that came from the Ellen DeGeneres Show. I had some advance notice about this from my wife, who watches the show (something in her female genetic makeup just attracts her to this type of television programming). There's not much to see in this if you're looking for a scandal . . . and not much to see if you're looking for humor either. We all know that Aretha and a wreath sound the same . . . but it doesn't make it funny. And the bad singing bit was maybe chuckle-worthy the first time they tried it, but by the 5th and 6th instance of that joke, it was feeling like they were beating a dead horse. But, at least Britney wasn't beating that dead horse with an umbrella while sporting a just shaved head. Silver lining.
