Ill-informed man claims to be father of Britney Spears' child

Pop-culturally confused Gary Frendltrout made the befuddling claim today that he is the biological father of Britney Spears' child in an effort to extort a large inheritance from the still-living Spears.

"I loved Britney deeply and passionately," said Frendltrout in a statement to a stunned group of reporters who had gathered hastily after seeing the words "father" and "Spears" in one sentence. "She was the world to me, and now that she has passed on, our daughter will be my reason for living."

Neither Spears nor ex-husband Kevin Federline could be reached for comment.

Observations from the Grammys

- As little respect as I have for the actual Grammy Award itself, the Grammys are probably the best awards show going right now because it's only about 30% awards/speeches. The stage performances are usually very good, and the artists on stage aren't overshadowed by superfluous bullcrap like they are in the MTV Video Music Awards.

- The Police reunion was a bit disappointing since they only played one song and it was the most predictable choice. I'd have preferred "Message in a Bottle." I won't be able to afford tickets to the reunion tour, but I may have to pick up the DVD.

- Why is it that for the past ten years we've been told over and over that Mary J. Blige is Hip Hop/R&B royalty? Every time she's introduced before a performance it's as though we're about to witness the resurrection of Etta James, a thinner Aretha Franklin, or a sober Whitney Houston. And every time, I'm completely underwhelmed. Probably just hateration on my part.

- Smokey Robinson still sounds amazing. What a classic voice.

- The Grammys love Tony Bennett like Germans love David Hasselhoff. Dude won Album of the Year in 1994. Seriously, look it up.

- James Blunt allegedly wrote "You're Beautiful" in 3 minutes. I'm surprised it took him that long. Lamest lyrics since the last song I tried to write.

- Pop singers I'm not afraid to admit I like: Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.

- "Not Ready to Make Nice" pulls of the Awards of Redundancy Awards Double Victory with Record of the Year and Song of the Year. I'd have preferred it if they spread out the awards a little by giving one of those to a song that didn't suck.

Then I saw that someone else had already made something similar, and better.
