Every once in a while Britney Spears looks up from the Beverly Hillbillies sitcom that is her life and remembers that used to have, you know, a career. She”’s tried to brush up her dancing, which might work better if she took some time off from her permanent pregancy. And she”’s tried acting, driving one anonymous drama coach who worked with Britney to call her “an untalented, self-focused wannabe. I can imagine her ruining a televised drama by staring straight into the camera and either winking or shaking her boobs or blowing a wad of gum. But not all at the same time that would be asking far too much of her.”

So Britney”’s returned to her real love: celebrity fragrances. Her new scent, In Control, is the third fragrance she”’s come out with in the last two years”’which puts perfumes slightly ahead of children for Britney, and way ahead of albums. The scent is described as “‘both sweet and sexy,’ with notes of loquat fruit, midnight orchid, creme brulee, black vanilla bean, sugared sandalwood and musk.”

Watch for Britney to release the stale, desperate scent of Career Death sometime in early 2007. No, wait”’I can already smell it coming off her.
