'Braking' News
I've blogged too much today already, but why is this newsworthy? If this happened to three random, non-famous people, would it make it on CNN.com???

Wait, this just in. Britney Spears' tour bus hit a speed bump. No injuries have been reported. Publicists for Miss Spears are quoted as saying, "Yeah, the bus was driving along kinda fast, but not too fast. Slower than normal, actually. Then the bus slowed down some more and rolled over the speed bump. It was bumpy, but we all had our seatbelts on and we'd been warned by a big yellow sign that there might be a speedbump on this road. We pulled over later when we got to the Krispy Kreme. Everyone walked off the bus without assistance, and the bus appears to have sustained no damage except when Britney threw an empty donut container at me {the publicist} and demanded we stop at the next Krispy Kreme. I got a paper cut, and there's some donut residue on the window. But I'm fine. The bus will be cleaned and ready for departure in like, five minutes." Miss Spears still plans to lip-sync her next performance Saturday night at a karaoke bar in Dallas.

Phew!
