You know, we’re turning a corner here as a nation. Today’s news looks to be the beginning of a changing of the guard as far as pop stars we love to hate or hate to love.
New hypothesis: we’re done with Britney Spears. On to Miley Cyrus.
Here’s how we’ve come to this conclusion:
Us Magazine talked to the cast of How I Met Your Mother, who just finished filming with Brit Brit for their new episode that will air on March 24th.
Everyone seems to think that Spears did well and was surprisingly not crazy.
“She was lovely,” Alyson Hannigan told Usmagazine.com at the sitcom’s re-launch party in West Hollywood Thursday.
“She’s just a person — so sweet and funny,” Hannigan added. “We just talked about our clothes and dogs, and it was surprisingly just normal.”
The rest of the cast couldn’t stop raving about the actress — who shot scenes Wednesday and Thursday in L.A. — either.
“She’s beautiful,” actor Jason Segel told Us. “You know, I was so focused on her hair that I’m overwhelmed with adjectives! She was great and lovely.”
He said he wasn’t surprised that Spears nailed her role as a dorky receptionist who falls for Ted (Josh Radnor).
“She was great,” Segel added. “She was better than all five of us, so I guess that says a lot.”
Added Cobie Smulders, “She was very professional and her comedic timing was great!”
That report combined with a Reuter’s speculation piece called “Britney: Is she back ‘in the zone,’” which wisely points out that Spears released an animated video for her third single (the animated fact means that it might not be her fault it’s so bad) as well as booking the How I Met Your Mother gig.
Both appearances send a strong message: Britney can work again.
This Monday, another hearing will be held in her conservatorship/restraining order joint cases where we might get some juicy tidbits as to how things are going. Did Sam Lutfi really drive Britney crazy with drugs? It’s starting to look that way, simply because Jamie Spears, Britney’s father has gotten results less than 50 days after Britney was hospitalized.
So if we’re done with Britney: now what?
In an online poll with 4000 participants, Ocean Up’s readers have declared that Miley Cyrus is like Britney in every way, right down to the bogus Christianity and virgin-juke, which can’t work for the 15 year old forever.
This switch isn’t going to be instant, but the stage is set for Cyrus to take over the pop princess crown, in which case we will rag on her until we break her soul.
We’re not trying to be mean, that’s just what happens. You live in America, you know this.
We’re putting our giant-sized metaphorical fork in the metaphorical road of pop celebrity and saying that this week was the beginning of the transition.
3 years from now when Miley hits 18 and sparks start flying when she changes her image to be more “adult,” we’ll be here, laughing and reminding you of this day in history.
