I'm really interested to see exactly how Brit's various handlers have decided to spin this little PR faux pas. Clearly they couldn't say nuttin' when it was happening, but maybe now that they've been afforded the time and distance to fabricate some pop-psychology explanations for Ms. Spears acting-out, they figure they should get it while the getting's good. Maybe Brit's Madonna-aping Kabbalistic study led her to really contemplate her last year during the Ten Days of Repentance between Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur and this documentary is her way of atoning for her sins because she wasn't willing to fast and give up a whole day's worth of Cheetos. Or maybe she's just back to being the good ol' money grubbin' publicity whore we all know and love. Cute!

Peep the clippity clip and notice a) the presence of crazy-eyes and b) Brit's "I'm a smart person!" statement, both of which lead me to believe that perhaps she's still on the sauce/crack.

For the Record will air on MTV November 30th to coincide with Brit's forthcoming new album, Circus. Holler!
