LESjunkie Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 clearly she was on an all nite coke-binge. I guess she really is putting her trust in Bush and his values. FYI for those who didnt see...she was chugging a little bottle of liquor immediately after leaving the liquor store in Santa Monica, in broad daylight, around noon on Sunday, looking like shit, and chasing it with red bull...her ugly boyfriend in tow. party girl. hehe 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joeygk Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Britney: I'm No Boozehound!by Sarah Hall Jul 16, 2004, 10:40 AM PTLooks like Britney's not the only one saying "Oops" these days. The pop tart is suing mad over Thursday's front page photo in the New York Post that showed her chugging from a wee bottle, and was captioned "'Boozer' Britney." The accompanying story reported that Spears "thinks nothing of swilling what appears to be a mini-bottle of booze right on the street,'' and mocked the "Toxic" singer for chasing her alleged libation with a can of a Red Bull energy drink. Trouble is, appearances can be deceiving. It turns out that Spears was just going for a quick pick-me-up by downing a mini-bottle of ginseng--a widely available herbal supplement that supposedly elevates energy levels and enhances mental clarity. The clerk at the Venice, California, liquor mart where Spears purchased the herbal nip backed the singer's story, insisting that she bought only a $1 bottle of Panax Red Ginseng Extractum and a can of Red Bull. Spears issued a statement through her lawyer identifying the ginseng guzzling and demanding a retraction, an apology and--naturally--a wad of cash from the Post. "Ms. Spears intends to file a lawsuit against the New York Post and Bill Hoffmann, the writer of the article, unless the paper immediately issues an appropriate retraction, apology and financial settlement," A-list lawyer Martin Singer said in a statement. Singer called the article "totally fabricated, fictional and defamatory" and blasted the Post for not bothering to ascertain the truth about Spears' beverage of choice. It's not the first journalistic gaffe of the month for the Post. On July 6, the tab mistakenly reported that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry had selected Congressman Dick Gephardt as his running mate. Big oops. Nor is it the first rumor Spears has had to dispel of late. After she recently became engaged to dancer Kevin Federline after a whirlwind three-month courtship, the singer had to deny reports that she was pregnant. According to Us Weekly, Spears intends to tie the knot this November, either in Los Angeles or in her native Louisiana. It will be her second trip down the aisle this year. Jason Alexander, aka the first Mr. Britney Spears of 2004, recently spilled the tawdry details of the pop tart's first foray into matrimony-- a marriage that lasted a mere 55 hours. If ginseng really does aid in mental clarity, we're encouraging Brit to drink up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
