Britney ready for reality?

Some stories just invite commentary. Case in point: the news that premier pop tart Britney Spears will star in a reality show for UPN based on home videos she shot with hubby Kevin Federline during their courtship.

Here's a sampling of what they're saying:

• BayouBuzz: "is there anything about Spears that we do not already know?"
• Philadelphia Daily News: "We're calling it Must-Puke TV."
• AdRants: "The blissful innocuousness of MTV's The Newlyweds is about to get slapped upside the head by UPN ..."
• Noise Proves Nothing: "Dear Lord."
• Lost in Thought: "The horror, the horror..."
• The D-List: "think of it as Fat Actress, but instead called Fat Singer."
• hecklespray: "Wouldn’t it just be swell if we could all sell off our own fabricated holiday videos and then afterwards start calling yourself an executive producer?"
• Pink is The New Blog: "Woot!!! Words cannot even express what I'm feeling right now ... it's like a dream come true!"

Although the show is described as "a documentation of love," there are hints floating about that this is one "true" story that might not have a happy ending:

• New York Post: "Spears and husband Kevin Federline just might separate before their UPN reality show premiere next month, if their current behavior is any indication."
• Daily Mirror via Ireland Online: "Britney Spears drew up legal documents before her marriage last year to prevent husband Kevin Federline inheriting any of her fortune in case she dies before drawing up a will."

But, as E! Online points out, "one season may be plenty to satiate our curiosity."

Finally, it has had nothing (yet) to say about the show but The Official Britney Spears Pregnancy Watch is still good for a laugh.

The end of the world -- er, I mean, the show's debut is set for May. By the way, The Washington Post notes that not even the majority of TV viewers who ignore UPN will be spared: "One or more of the MTV cable networks will rerun each episode shortly after its UPN play and then rerun all of them again in a marathon."
