Britney Spears Apology for Umbrella Incident
This just in! Britney Spears has finally apologized for the Umbrella Incident! You remember the Umbrella Incident, don't you?
The thing with Britney Spears and the umbrella ... when she did something or the other with an umbrella ... ok, I don't know what this is all about either. But it's Britney Spears! So it must be of world-changing significance.
LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears apologized for attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella in February, saying at the time she was preparing to try out for a movie part and got carried away. ("Spears Sorry for Attacking Photog's Car," AJC.com).
Uh .. I sort of vaguely remember that. Seems weird though. Why would Britney do such a thing?
The incident took place during the same period in which she shaved her head, got new tattoos and was seen partying hard in Los Angeles clubs ... Not long after the incident, Spears checked into rehab. (AJC.com)
Oh. Now I get it. This was during the public meltdown. So let's see what our favorite melted pop tart has to say:
"I apologize to the pap for a stunt that was done 4 months ago regarding an umbrella," Spears said in a statement posted Wednesday on her Web site. "I was preparing my character for a roll (sic) in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally. I take all my rolls [sic] very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part." (AJC.com)
So, near as I can tell, Britney was ... method acting?
The text on her website has been edited by someone who can spell since AP picked up the story ... but it still doesn't make any sense:

"Pap" I think is celebrity slang for "paparazzi."
The photographers in question worked for a celebrity gossip site called X17online.com. They have posted a handwritten version of Britney's note.
I don't even know what to say about this, but we can draw at least two lessons:
1. Sometimes, an apology is a bad idea. Like when you go on a head-shaving, umbrella-whacking, underwear-forgetting, pill-popping, baby-dropping, revolving-door-rehab attending rampage — it's probably better not to bring that all up again six months later. Even to apologize. Especially if you are still bonkers.
2. Kids — don't do drugs.
