The Earth Will Still Keep Spinning
I'm sure somewhere right now the old Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears message boards are turning over their engines and starting to get some life back in them. All those message boards devoted to the couple remaining a couple have obviously been dormant for a few years now, except of course for those 50 year old guys trying to hook up with Britney and Justin look-a-likes.
You would have thought the earth was coming to an end with the reaction around LA that Madonna is bringing Britney and Justin back together tonight during her show at Dodger Stadium here. Ryan Seacrest went so far as to say it is the most amazing thing he has ever seen before. Wow. I think it is a big deal for the five minutes they spend together on stage, but is it a life changing event? I don't think so. Do I think it is going to lead to some kind of Britney/Justin reunion? I don't think so.
All this is going to be is a one off reunion thing. Think about when Christina and Britney performed together with Madonna. Did that lead to Britney and Christina being BFF? No. It was a one time thing and I don't think this will be even that good.
This is Madonna though at her very finest. I am constantly amazed at her promotion skills. This is a woman who has reinvented herself continually and kept herself in the spotlight through sheer will for almost 30 years. So, enjoy the five minutes but for all you Britney/Justin fans who think this is going to be a wedding harbinger, you need to breathe.
