britney spears ditches junk food (link)
10.20.09 - metro

hey, did you know that britney spears is still relevant? apparently she is because she's been all over the gossip columns the past few days. unfortunately for her, it's because of the media's infatuation with her weight & not because of her music. i guess the upside is that this time it's because she's looking all skinny hot & not because she's put on a few pounds...& she's not shaving her head or going batshit crazy these days, so i guess that's good too.

the metro is just one of the many news outlets who decided to pick up a story about how britney's been down in mexico rocking the bikini bod. her secret? a change in diet. britney used to enjoy "feasting on fried chicken, mashed potato and frappuccinos but has now found a taste for low calorie fish." that's right, folks. britney has fallen in love with sushi & the results are apparently outstanding. according to the stylist from her latest music video, a song about threesomes, she was energetic & "even sang live with the words." good for her.

here's what i don't get though. she's been a mega-star for how long & she's just now discovering sushi? it's not as bad as madonna never trying pizza, but it's pretty surprising nonetheless. i guess she didn't have many opportunities to eat sushi growing up in louisiana, but doesn't she live in l.a. now? there are approximately one bazillion sushi joints there. hasn't she hung out with jeremy pivens at least once? oh well. at least she has control of her junk food habit. that's more than she can say for her "music."
