"M + Ms" - The Future of Britney Spears

On the eve of Britney Spears' post-head-shaving/repeatedly-dropping-out-of-rehab comeback, I'd like to publicly state my predictions for her future.

She is going to be a badass.

I've never really been a fan of her music or persona, but I think that her public breakdown and subsequent rocky recovery is going to end up being the best thing that ever happened to her... and to little girls looking for pop star role models.

I reserve the right to be wrong about this. But I think, after a lifetime of men telling her what to do with her career and her body, she is lashing back. While "girl power" feminism leaves much to be desired, its better than a pop music industry full of "Stand by Your Man" songs. If all this works out, don't be shocked when I buy some Britney CDs for my little sisters. Or myself.
