I've already heard a lot of negativity about Britney Spears' new engagement to Jason Trawick. She just turned 30 and this will be her third marriage. The first marriage, in January 2004, was 55 hours of marriage to a childhood friend. I'm pretty sure she was drunk when she got hitched to Jason Alexander. The second, in September of 2007, was to dancer Kevin Federline. This one lasted less than three years, and Brit is now the proud mother of two boys, Federline's sons Jayden and Preston.
It's 2011, y'all. The END of 2011. It's been four years since Britney has been in a relationship of this weight -- or, rather, since she took such a weighty step. Trawick WAS her manager, but he quit recently to focus on their relationship. She knows him, he's got his life together. What's more, she's got HER life together. The tumultuous past, the rehab, the head shavings, the babies in the drivers' seat...it's all over. Her career is back on track. Her dance moves may not be as crisp as they once were, and her lip synching may happen more often, but she is still a talented performer, a good mom, and a sweet woman.
I know people rib me for being a Britney fan. But I like her. I like her personality, how she sticks to her guns when the going gets tough. I like how dedicated she is to her fans. I like how she lets her goofy side out and seems to have fun now, even after years in the spotlight. And I like her music. It's catchy, at times clever or poignant, and it sure is fun to dance to. I believe that she'll continue on as a successful artist. And you know, I believe in her and Jason too. No matter what critics or tabloids may say.
