Fred Durst hops back on the Britney Spears publicity train
With a new movie hitting theaters and a Limp Bizkit revival in the works, what better time for Fred Durst to talk about how he allegedly banged Britney Spears in 2003 and, surprise, knew she was crazy all along - based solely on the fact she denied the whole thing. Of course. MTV News reports:
The confusion over the affair still remains with Durst, and the rocker points to the episode as one of the first in a long line of erratic episodes for Spears. "I look back on it as very interesting [in terms of] how things have been sort of unraveling for her since," he said. "[But] it is what it is. I can sleep at night knowing I made decisions that I wanted to make. [Still], I'm a supporter. I was then, I guess I am now.
"Her own decisions and different things in her life, people can judge her all they want, but she has an extreme presence and when she's giving it, it's really good," he continued. "I don't think you can really write her off and I just think it'd be silly for people to think that they could. Everything kind of works in cycles and I think she's an example of how those things work."
For Durst, summing up the incident may all boil down to one underlying theme. "I just guess at the time it was taboo for a guy like me to be associated with a gal like her," he laughs.
Let's give a round of applause to Fred Durst for discovering the "Britney Spears Loophole." Say anything you want about her past, and when she denies it, just say she's crazy. On that note, Britney Spears still owes me ten million dollars from a high-stakes game of Hungry Hungry Hippos in 2005.

Any story about Fred Durst should have two things: a comment about his height and if they use the term rocker it should be in quotation marks. Keep rollin rollin rollin.

even if you spell "Napoleon" wrong, you are hilarious. Great comment about the "rocker".
Wasn't he the lead singer of Damp Triscuit?

So, basically what he is saying is that only mentally unstable women are willing to sleep with him.

I wish I could say my misspelling of Napoleon was a funny take on the misspelling of Limp Biscuit (sic) but I am just not that clever.

20. c.j. - March 20, 2009 11:24 AM
i'd like him to talk about how that stupid hat was containing that same bald head back when he was 19.
21. Richport's Ghost - March 20, 2009 11:29 AM

RichPort's Ghost says, "I'd crawl over a lava pool to gobble his manhood."

25. jakal - March 20, 2009 11:41 AM
Apparently, he's been playing John Locke on 'Lost for quite some time.
26. htown - March 20, 2009 11:46 AM
When did Howie Mandel grow a beard? He should lose it because it makes him looked older.

32. Stuey - March 20, 2009 12:21 PM
HAHA, remember the pics that came out with the asshat took photos with his phone of him banging some chick. He had a thumb for a penis.
I am SURE Britney forget that Fred was "in" her.

34. Amy - March 20, 2009 12:49 PM

Wow..Fred got fuckin old looking!
He always sucked and his music always sucked and he was never what anyone would call "attractive"...but DAY-UMMMM! Im 37 and he looks old enough to be my father!
36. weaselspeed - March 20, 2009 1:23 PM

37. Rutty - March 20, 2009 1:34 PM
what a sad bunch of losers...
The music didn't hold up, I can't really get into it now, but that group didn't make the money it did, or have the popularity it did, because their friends were buying their albums.
Half you probably cranked up your shitty tape deck radio in your piece of shit beater car you bought with your nothing food service jobs as soon as "Rollin" came on.
His WORST lay in his 38 years is still probably better than the crusty socks under your bought on Craigslist for 15 bucks"Jerker" computer desk...
38. Victor - March 20, 2009 1:42 PM
Fred Durst is still alive????
39. daisy - March 20, 2009 1:56 PM
thats not crazy, fred. Women have been having sex and denying it for centuries.
40. Taffy Swerdlow - March 20, 2009 3:17 PM
Really?!? I thought it was a fat Michael Stipe, which still would've been more interesting than this douche monger.
41. Boo *pouting* - March 20, 2009 3:29 PM
Rutty. Angry. :(
42. @ 37 - March 20, 2009 3:34 PM
Ya, I did actually crank his tunes back in the day. Right around the same time you were jerking off to Brittany Spears. But I bet that doesn't stop you from making fun of how pathetic she turned out now, does it?
43. Dobbs - March 20, 2009 3:35 PM
This is the best Fred Durst related video ever. I laugh my ass off every time:

Fred you look 50. Please go back to the cave you crawled out from .
52. Parker - March 20, 2009 5:22 PM
I remember he told someone on the Howard Stern show all he did was eat her ass out. That was at a time in her life when I would have happily done the same thing except I would have slammed my weenie up her ass right after. She would have loved it. In fact she probably would have never wanted vaginal sex again. Then she'd never have kids. Then she'd still look almost as good as she used to.Then she'd be still be sane. So techincally the only reason Britney Spears is a sloppy, mentally unfit mother of two is cause I never got a chance to f**k her in the a$$. C'est la vie!
53. Zombieproof - March 20, 2009 5:25 PM
I KNEW Obadiah Stane wasn't dead!
54. PhilofPhilosophy - March 20, 2009 5:35 PM
Why is it that Fred looks like a bearded, chubby version of Bruce Willis??? I feel like an old fart for listening to That old fart's music....................................... ready the coffin boys. We're all gonna end up like Fred here.
55. Me 2 - March 20, 2009 6:47 PM
"Everything kind of works in cycles and I think she's an example of how those things work" - "Everything" doesn't work in cycles, Fred. Some things work in cycles but not everything, just because Britney Spears had a comeback, doesn't necessarily mean you will too.
It hasn't even been 10 years since that "Rollin', Rollin'" song was popular - how has he aged so dramatically?
