Britney Engaged to Dancer

Tweet

The news comes just six months after the twenty-two-year-old pop star exchanged nuptials with a high school friend in Las Vegas. Spears' January marriage to Louisiana native Jason Alexander was annulled within forty-eight hours of the wedding, about which a spokesperson said the couple "took a joke too far."

This time out, Spears plans to be a little less impulsive, as no wedding details have been set.

The groom-to-be is Kevin Federline, a twenty-six-year-old dancer, whom Spears met earlier this year. Federline recently split with girlfriend Shar Jackson. They have a two-year-old daughter and are expecting their second child next month.

Spears is currently recovering from knee surgery after an injury sustained while shooting a video forced her to cancel her summer tour.

“V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.”

Fishbone | 1985

Quite a few musicians have utilized initials for song titles -- Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T.," Abba's "S.O.S.," Donald Fagen's "I.G.Y.," etc. But the more curiously initialed tune has to be "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.," short for "Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts." Fishbone's original guitarist, Kendall Jones, explained to Rolling Stone, "When Norwood [Fisher] wrote it, he introduced it to the band saying, 'Man, I've been hearing about all these Nazi right-wing groups on the news saying the Holocaust was staged. So what if America said it never dropped two atom bombs on Japan, that it was actually Godzilla popping a couple off?' Only Norwood would come up with something that out." The same year "V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F." was released, the film Godzilla 1985 appeared in North America.
