...

I disagree. There are readily available substitutes for the "good" that is Britney, so you can't attribute the $120m to her. Thjey'd be following Lindsay Lohan or someone else like that if it weren't her.

I disagree. Brittany possesses a certain je ne sais quoi that the others lack.

It's called "batshit crazy" and it's all over the place.
