“Well, I think it’s a wonderful decision. Britney still thinks the earth is flat. I don’t anticipate great opinions from her. I think she’s gonna sit there like J.Lo, ‘Oh, you’re wonderful, you’re terrific. You think I can get a perfume endorsement out of this?’ As far as any real criticism, I think Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid will do that … I think Britney will sit there and eat a lollipop and wear a sexy outfit. … I’ll tune in to see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely.”
Well isn’t that just darling. Don’t you love it when the blind criticize the blind for … well, being blind? Yeah, I know—we do our share of Britney-mockery ourselves on the site here, but no one actually takes what we say seriously. And there are a whole hell of a lot of people who, for whatever reason, take Howard Stern seriously. He wouldn’t have been on the air as long as he has if that weren’t the case. My thoughts? I think boyfriend here is still just a little bitter because he was passed over for American Idol and he’s got a stick up his ass for Simon.
Naturally, Howard’s talking about the latest confirmation that Britney is, in fact, joining the cast of the X-Factor, and while some may use it as cause to celebrate (you know, probably like … Britney?), some are using it to say that the show’s going to be a total crapshoot because of it, but I don’t think so. I think Britney’s going to add life and a dull sort of spark to the show, and even though I sometimes point and laugh at times, too, it doesn’t mean I love that woman any less. She’s going to do a great job, and I’m excited to see what the new season brings.
Perhaps you didn’t realize that Howard works for Simon who is the exec prod of AGT?
Uh, he’s 100% right
Yep. This chick hasn’t been relevant in a decade (actually…was she ever relevant?). She has a terrible voice, shitty music and her mental breakdown was the only thing that was somewhat interesting about her. She’s a joke.
Yup. He’s just not afraid of being honest about it…there are too many people who make excuses for/suck up to Britney.
Yeah he is. 200%, and I’m a Britney “fan.”
Completly agree with Howard Stern and all of the other comments so far. Britney Spears was a talented stripper, that was about it. It doesn’t seem that out of place to say that someone who already had a nervous breakdown is going to be a train wreck.
What a strange entry. How is Howard Stern blind here? Doesn’t he have a hugely successful 30+ yr entertainment career?
How many of these stupid talent shows do we need anyway?
Once you suffer any mental breakdown illness, or admit to handicap in public you can never heal or get therapy..? Howard..you stuck on stupid
Howard Sterns has no talent to speak of himself.
Who is this idiot to judge??
Britney has sold millions of CD’s. Howard has sold:
what?? His low class vocabulary?
