Oct 31 2007UPDATE: Britney Spears’ label can’t trust her to promote new album
Jive Records is officially giving up on trying to get Britney Spears to promote her new album. They’re not even planning a tour despite her single “Gimme More” topping the charts. The label realizes that Britney doesn’t care and is apparently becoming fed up with her antics. NY Daily News reports:
"They can't get Britney to do anything!" said a source close to the label and Spears. "They did get her to do one photo-shoot for some promotional materials, but beyond that, they can't trust her to even show up. This album could've been so much bigger with Britney involved. This is the one opportunity they have to try and sell a million records. They were forced to [go on with] their marketing plan.”
Britney may not even care about the money as her estimated worth this year is near $100 million. Her activities in the press seem to emphasize a detachment with reality:
But her bizarre behavior was evident as recently as Sunday, when our spy found her looking confused as she wandered around the locker room of the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A. — wearing just a bikini bottom. When another woman asked her where the hotel pool was, Brit replied, "Oh, is there a pool here?"
You see what I did there? I started the day off with a scary story because it’s Halloween. I mean, c’mon, how frightening is that? You could be walking around, minding your own business and then “Bam!” topless Britney Spears! Eeeek! But don’t worry. Just tell her you work for Jive and want to take some promotional photos. She’ll shriek and vanish into the night. Presumably to Taco Bell. It’s where the Britney feeds waiting for her next vict – Hey, did you just see that? Was that a nipple? *sniffs* Hot sauce? I didn't have Mexican... Look! Behind the couch. A stretch mark! AHHH!!
UPDATE: On his radio show this morning Ryan Seacrest managed to get Britney Spears on the phone and you can tell why Jive is fed up. Take a listen and, during the first few minutes, it almost sounds like Britney doesn’t even know she released an album yesterday. She does however know that she loves fried chicken. I’m as shocked as you are.

5. LL - October 31, 2007 12:30 PM
They're probably better off if she doesn't promote the album. In fact, they might try putting it out with a different name and picture on the cover and just don't tell Britney. She won't know the difference.

14. * MISS UNIVERSE - October 31, 2007 12:55 PM
She has been at the top and its just is not so great :-(
Having hundreds of photographers around her daily, and countless news articles daily. She does not need any more fame or success or wealth in her mid twenties.
She will be famous for the rest of her life
Look at Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Paul McCartney

Gee, so that story about her being broke wasn't true??? Really??? It seemed so real. But for sure this story is true.

24. PunkA - October 31, 2007 1:12 PM
How hard is it to get Brit to do anything?? Seriously, all you have to do is promise that the Kraft table at the promotions will be filled with Starbucks, Taco Bell and Jell-O vodka shooters. For Free. She shows up, and you threaten to cut her off, then she behaves. It is simple. Just treat her like a 4-year old, and she will behave. Trust me. The lure of the chalupa will be too great.
25. Pilatunes - October 31, 2007 1:14 PM
I'd be astonished if she was worth that money. I know she used to have a lot, but she spends money like water and you can be sure she doesn't manage what she doesn't spend. I can see her (and LiLo) ending up broke.

I would totally hit dat'ass. There is no sex like crazy chick sex. And I could get all nasty and porn-movie on her ass and she wouldn't know the difference. From the A$$ to the mouth? No problem, because she's crazy.
56. Kelly Neuman - October 31, 2007 1:53 PM
The girl cant sing anymore nor can she dance she has lost any talent she used to have. She needed to quit when she was on top at least people would have remembered good things now all they think of when you hear Britney Spears is a waster always in the media for crap behaviour.
57. Jimbo - October 31, 2007 1:54 PM
@50 - if you go as a Fire Hydrant all the dogs and homeless people will pee on you. I will give you a ride.

Promotion? Are you fucking kidding me?! The legal struggle between Britney and whatshisface (yes, I know his name, no I refuse to type it, or capitalize the "w") is the best promotion any record company could ever hope for. It's alomost the same thing as rappers "feuding" with one another; except with the hip-hop feuds, you have a handshake and there's a contract signed. The homeboys know what they're doing. Britney's just doing all this by happen stance. It just happened. She just happened. DId I mention that I wish all the world's rappers would blow each other's brains out?

Personally, I think this bitch is retarded. I mean for real. If she's not retarded, and that might be mean to people who are retarded, she's got to be the fucking stupidiest woman on earth.
I've never heard a song of her's all the way through, but watching her wreck her life is fascinating. Remember when people were only concerned with whether her breasts were fake or real? Now she's taking parenting lessons from Michael Jackson. "No bitch, wave the baby out tha window. Don't just hang it there."
71. 30notes - October 31, 2007 4:15 PM
Not only is she fat and deformed with those bubble lips, she's a retarded moron.
My 3 month old brother speaks better than she does. Isn't $100 million dollars enough to retire on and give your kids a great life without all the trailer trash antics?
Why in the hell is anyone downloading her music? Seriously, her two fans couldn't have done that many downloads. Idiots.
72. Ript1&0 - October 31, 2007 5:54 PM
Yay Britney!! You do it, girl, whatever you want. Keep going sweetie, you'll find that pool.
73. Ript1&0 - October 31, 2007 5:59 PM
See, first everyone was mad because she wore clothes without panties.
And now they're mad because she wore panties without clothes.
Make up your mind, people, god!!
You wear whatever you f'in want to, Brit Brit. You're Britney, bitch, you don't need no freakin' pool.

I love Britney. I love her more now than ever. C'mon, if you are all honest with yourselves, you are having a great time. Every Britney story posted on The Superficial gets me excited cos I can't wait to see how she's gone a little more crazy. I think it's a great thing, it's what celebrities are ultimately here to do: entertain, and yeah, I am entertained.
But can we get a TRANSCRIPT of the interview!?!?!?
79. greenmeatattack - November 1, 2007 2:39 AM
This girl is a mess. Drugs, mental illness. I'm surprised no one has tried to get her committed yet. She can barely make a coherent sentence. I hope the judge in her child custody case has ordered a psychiatric evaluation. Where is Britney's family in all of this? Friends? As if she has any left.
