Thanks Britney!

Ms. Spears' "Oops!" marriage (well depending on whether you listen to the parents of the bride or the groom) this weekend in Las Vegas just made me laugh.

I am starting to the Dubya just might be right about the whole gay marriage issue... "Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman...I will work...to do what is legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage."

The 12-hour foray into sacredness and sanctity for Britney and Jason Alexander (yes, this does sound like a Seinfeld episode...not that there's anything wrong with that!) just proves that heteros can't even provide adequate defense for "preserving the institution." It's easy as signing a piece of paper to do it...and another to get out of it.

So thanks again... and while I am at it... shout-outs to Liza and David, Billy Bob and Angelina...and Ben/JLo (even NOT getting married...yet...has furthered the "cause").

Not too impressed with the first of the last 8 episodes of Sex in The City. The show started off strong with some of the classic girl "round-table" chat at the department store... Carrie's eye-winking take on the word "luvah," Charlotte being her blindly (whoops, I guess pun intended) optimistic self, Miranda all sarcastic/cynical, and Samantha being her blunt sexual self. But then what happened???

Miranda turns all soft and mushy with Steve. Really thinks Blair Underwood is deeply in love with her?? Underwood really in love with her enough to get "psycho"?? "Classic" Miranda would have just rolled her eyes said "we had great sex" followed by a big "Get over it/Whatever" and continued her march down the stairs.

Charlotte get the silly throw-away (and not terribly funny) story of the show...lately this has been Kim Cattrell's burden. The "blind" thing just gave her something (anything!) to do...and perhaps the swan-song of Mario Cantone's Anthony?!

Samantha getting all mushy... over cheating?!?! This should have been a no-regrets fun f*ck with her ex...okay, she could have felt a twinge of remorse but not to the extent she did.

Just hate the whole Carrie/Aleksander pairing. Like Carrie, I can't understand most of what he says... there is little chemistry... and last night's foray was just an excuse for an extended "Google" plug. We all know (well, hopefully!) Baryshnikov is going to be dancing off into the sunset.. so they should have ditched the dead wood in this episode.

Thanks to TV Guide... I know some spoilers for the rest of the season (I don't like knowing, but can't stop myself from reading them). This episode was pretty much a transitional episode in preparation for the "end game." While I don't know how the show will truly end...it has to get better than this. Some of the upcoming story lines I feel okay about, others I am not quite sure... but I will be watching... can't believe the girls will be gone for good in two months time!
