BREAKING BRITNEY SPEARS NEWS!!!

The Internet's been buzzing about the five-second video that Britney Spears posted on her YouTube channel today:



Most people believe it's a countdown to the launch of the video for "Hold It Against Me."

They're wrong. Apparently, I'm the only person actually paying attention to the five-second video.

Allow me to break it down like the Zapruder flim!

Hellcats: "Worried Baby Blues"

Warning: This episode is jumpy. It was all over the place and packed tighter with story lines than a sausage link. So you will have to forgive me if I too am all over the place, just like Alice's naughty girl bits.

Moving on.

Those cheeky little Hellcats are at it again. Scampering around in extremely little sexy outfits trying to raise money for the squad. This time it's a calendar shoot with each and every one of our beloved little trollops either in a corseted get-up, sexy Santa outfit, or a slutty Supreme Court Justice robe. And yes, somehow Marti manages to make a Supreme Court Justice robe sexy, because she is Marti and she will save the world.

There was a little side story filler with Vanessa and Derrick and how she is getting cold feet and yadda, yadda, yadda. She ends up dancing with Red Raymond (ex-boyfriend) then kissing him as if he were a perfectly cooked steak and then crying about it afterwords because... well I'm not sure why but it probably had something to do with the fact the she is ENGAGED to Derrick.

Savannah gives her pregnant sister Charlotte The Harlot some prenatal vitamins and the What To Expect When You're Expecting book and Charlotte is all like "Dude, I can't keep these here. What if Mom finds out and couldn't you have gotten me something good like a shot or five of bourbon?" So Savannah takes them back with her to the bar where Wanda, who is planning the calendar launch party, finds the book, and by finds I mean she snoops through Savannah's bag and pulls it out and then squeezes the truth out of Savannah about who is pregnant. Savannah makes Wanda promise to keep it a secret and to that I say "FAT CHANCE".

Fashion Taking Flight... Right Out Of Its Head

Feathers have been on the rise in fashion, and with Fashion Week coming up (Fashion Week!), all rumors are pointing to the trend continuing. Now I love a good feathery accessory: a flapperesque hair band or a feathered fringe on a dress? SO CUTE! But I lean towards less is more when it comes to having Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder, or collar, or derriere. And since this column has never been about restraint, let's take a look at some birds in the bush!

First off is not just a little feather flirtation... we've got the whole bird. The rarely seen Brown Crested Waif in her natural habitat:



Red Bull gives you wings:



Feathers are great for figure-flattering a small chest! Whether you use them to add volume, detract with a jungle print (it's camouflage!), or by placing strategic wisps and then just not wearing a bra, you're sure to avoid A-cup cattiness.

Sid And Marty Krofft Are Back

It was announced the other day that they're making a movie based on Lidsville, one of the many amazing shows that burst forth from the incredible imaginations of Sid and Marty Krofft in the '70s. I know we usually complain about remakes around here, but I'm all for some Sid and Marty Krofft hitting the big screen (as long as it doesn't stink like Land Of The Lost). While they're at it, they should work on Dr. Shrinker, Far Out Space Nuts, H.R. Pufnstuf, The Lost Saucer, and Sigmund And The Sea Monsters as well.

But what I'd really love is to see Sid and Marty Krofft work with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross from Mr. Show and release a movie based on "The Altered State of Drugachusetts:"

Banksy And The Pussycats

On one of our past episodes of Culture Brats Live, I mentioned that Exit Through The Gift Shop should've been nominated for Best Picture. For fans of the film/performance piece/lie/documentary, here it is again... with cats! (Yeah, I hate all the damn cats that cover 85% of the Internet, too. But this is still amusing.)

Don't Call It A Comeback: Our Interview With Tony Little

If you haven't already, you really must enter the odd and fascinating world of Tony Little. Think he's only about motivational speeches, TV appearances, and heath-related products?

Wrong.

Behind his vivacious and bombastic public persona is a smart, soft-spoken, and thoughtful family guy with a fascinating past.

After listening to stories about each crisis situation he managed to pole vault over and wondering if I had enough fingers to count the number of brushes with death, I began to regret my decision to interview this dynamo in my pajamas while eating a bag of Rolos.

But if talking to someone who built his own pop culture status brick by painstakingly slow brick taught me anything, it was to pull myself up by the bootstraps and enjoy the ride.

He was nothing like I expected.

Hey Tony, thanks for talking to Culture Brats today.
I'm not a brat.
