Of Ellen DeGeneres And Britney Spears

This week Britney Spear's slow motion train wreck had to compete with the bizarre on camera breakdown of beloved talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.
For those of you living in a cave the last few days, here is an Associated Press summary of the DeGeneres meltdown:
"DeGeneres adopted Iggy, then gave it to her hairstylist's family after the pooch couldn't get along with her cats. The Mutt and Moms agency claimed DeGeneres violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away and removed Iggy from the hairstylist's home Sunday — prompting DeGeneres to weep on her show, begging that the dog be returned."
Talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres' dog-adoption drama kept us glued to the boob tube this week.
DeGeneres isn't one of those ever-so-cool celebrities who adopts a jaded and cool persona; she isn't afraid to express her emotions.
Then there's Britney Spears who ran over a photographer's foot, without even slowing down to see if the man was OK. It wasn't a hit and run, it was more like a hit and nonchalantly drive away.
This week the pop tart also lost visitation rights because she failed to comply with the judge's orders. Losing the right to see her toddlers didn't seem to worry Britney; she was still filmed dancing and drinking the night away at all the hot clubs.
Although DeGeneres was ridiculed for her on screen histrionics; I prefer a woman who grieves over the fate of a dog over an ice queen who doesn't seem to care if she loses the right to visit with her children.
