YOU can buy Britney Spears a $1,200 chandelier for her new baby's room
http://thesuperficial.com/2006/08/britney_spears_likes_to_waste.html

Britney Spears has reportedly registered online at Petit Tresor for thousands of dollars worth of baby gifts, including a $1,200 chandelier for her new baby's room.

"Oh, it's not a fake, she's having a baby shower soon and has told friends that they can order gifts from the site," a source tells the Scoop, adding, "It's not like she's expecting her friends to buy everything for the baby. She's already spent like $30,000 at the store." And the accessories and furniture strongly suggest that, as rumored, Spears is expecting a girl: although the chandelier features little airplanes, there's a preponderance of pink and frilly goodies among the merchandise.


I was thinking of buying my baby a $1,200 chandelier too but then I realized I'd rather just tape some lightbulbs together and spend the other $1,190 on something more useful. Although I can't even imagine would could be more useful than a chandelier for a baby. Maybe a Segway for the potted plant? Some speakers for the fridge?

And just for the heck of it, here are some shots of Britney Spears shopping at Intuition in Los Angeles posing like a goofball with some baby clothes. They're simultaneously totally relevant and totally irrelevant at the same time.



Here's Britney's online registry at Petit Tresor, folks...and the chandelier.

7. That is a badass carseat though
She probably just picked out the most expensive model she could, but I'm famously anal about car seat stuff and were I to find myself 'mongst the knocked up I'd probably get that model infant seat and definitely something from that brand.

8. I think she's perpetually doomed to "play mommy"...
I don't know what her own mother was like or what kind of "parenting skills" she learned from her, but I equate Britney's ability to be a good mother with someone who enjoys having a new puppy. Behind the "cuteness" there's a sense of responsibility for the health and welfare of the little doggie. Some people get it, some people don't. I think Britney lacks the maturity to "get it." She's lived in a bubble and now she's using that bubble to reproduce.
