Fans Hope Britney Spears’ Dirtball Phase Ends Soon

Scott Lapatine, who has been chronicling Britney Spears’ slide for popular pop culture blog Stereogum, tells The New York Post the “new Britney” doesn’t seem to care about anything. “She’s been wearing the same pair of ripped jean shorts for weeks as she hobbles around L.A. on crutches, always with cigarette in hand, making pit stops for Cheetos and Red Bull,” Lapatine said. “She can’t even be bothered to brush her hair or wash her face anymore. This whole phase – and let’s hope it’s a phase – is a big middle finger to all her fans.”
