Britney Spears has been through a lot. From school girl sensation to sex symbol to scandalous outings to shaved heads to sometimes mother, she has definitely worn a lot of hats.
Unfortunately for Britney, this also means that her career has already done a full rise and fall, and she is now at the tail end of what can only be described as a very headline worthy few years.
The DYH iMix 04.07 is the first in a monthly series of iMixes that will feature unique music for you to download and enjoy. Each iMix will contain 10 songs, and is going to be a compilation of genres, ages, and popularity levels. The goal is to highlight new music that you haven’t heard of, and to provide you with a source of songs to add to your music collection. For the first month, the tracks are as follows:
Cat Stevens – Where Do The Children Play? – A classic from the man now known as Yusef Islam.
José González – Heartbeats – The song made famous by the Sony Bravia ad.
Michael Andrews & Gary Jules – Mad World – The song made famous by the Gears Of War ad.
Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats – Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned.
Britney Spears – (You Drive Me) Crazy – Considering the recent Britney news, the irony of this song continues to grow on a daily basis.
MIMS – This Is Why I’m Hot – Takes every currently popular hip-hop niche and mixes them all into one catchy track.
John Mayer – Waiting On The World To Change – Feel good music with a message.
The Pack – Vans - A group of high school students from Berkeley California rapping about their shoes.
O.A.R. – The Was A Crazy Game Of Poker – A story song that makes you want to jump out of your chair and dance.
Brad Paisley – She’s Everything – A love song about the subtle things that make someone special.
Sounds good, right? I thought so too. Though I’m trying to do the work for you, I’m also open to suggestions, so if you think that you’ve found something iMix worthy, let me know. Rock out.
Though I try not to write about celebrity gossip on DYH (it’s just too easy, and I don’t really care), sometimes it’s just too good to pass up. Apparently, after having a mental breakdown and shaving her own head, Britney Spears took out her remaining frustrations on Kevin Federline’s Ford Explorer, beating it with an umbrella, and was then taken to a rehab clinic by her mom, who had to pick her up from K-Fed’s driveway to end her reign of terror. Who knew her song “(You Drive Me) Crazy” would turn out to be just a warning?
Britney has gone bald, and not in that “getting out of the car with Paris Hilton and oops, look what I forgot” sort of way either. Her new hairless head was caught on camera as she went through the process of getting a pair of red lips tattooed on her wrist, and is sure to cause quite a stir. Rock bottom finally has a new definition.
Though I’m not surprised by the existence of ParisExposed.com, I am surprised by the extent of ParisExposed.com. The story behind the site goes like this:
Paris rented out a 6,000 square foot storage unit to house all of her personal possessions.
Paris forgot to pay the $208 bill.
The storage unit was auctioned off.
Someone bought it, sold the stuff inside for millions to ParisExposed.com.
History.
The site is a literal database of anything and everything Paris Hilton. It features:
Britney Spears memorabilia.
Nick Carter love notes.
Recorded phone calls.
Her phone book with thousands of celebrity phone numbers.
A Girls Gone Wild session with Joe Francias.
Lots of drug use.
Video diaries.
More Paris sex tapes.
Receipts, medical records, bank statements, fan mail, cards, to do lists.
Much more.
Though I’m sure there’s some juicy stuff in there, I almost feel bad for her. Almost. If you’re willing to put down the $39.97 required for one month of access, Paris’s world is your oyster, though you’ll have to check your conscience at the door.
DYH’s song of the day: Taylor Swift’s Tim McGraw. At just 17, she’s got quite the career ahead of her still, or she could go the Britney Spears route, though I do hope for the former.
