Britney Spears & Kevin Federline: Chaotic

By: Shannon Gossage

The debut of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s reality show Chaotic can best be described as a train wreck. It’s disturbing and at the same time it is hard to turn away. Not exactly sure what Spears and Federline were hoping to accomplish with their, as Federline called it, "documentation of love." Most of the show is private home videos intermingled with commentary by Brit Brit and Fed Fed, who offers such profound statements as "love is love," to lead viewers through their "fairy tale." The handling of the camera may leave you dizzy and with a headachem and the Paris Hilton-esque grainy night vision shots leave much to be desired.

The show begins on the London leg of her ill-fated Onyx Tour. Spears runs around with her video camera interviewing people on her tour about their thoughts on love, sex, and marriage. She proclaims to a hairdresser that she "doesn’t believe in marriage" and then she corrects herself by saying, "I mean, I’ve been married, but that was a different story." She goes on to say, "Been there, done that." She dubs herself a "Bitter Betty" because she doesn’t have a love in her life. She then talks about how she met a guy in L.A. and thought "why not bring him to London with me?"

Enter Feddy-boy. Only a few days later and Spears is telling her hairdresser, "God, our sex is so good. I’ve had sex three times today." Instant relationship. Her parents must be so proud to have such intimate details revealed so casually on video. The show will document their "courtship" all the way through their wedding day. In one clip of the show, Spears stares into the camera and asks, "Can you handle my truth? Can you? Can you?" Honestly, I don’t think I can…but I had better tune in next week just to be sure.
