Okay ~ Since there's a J-Lo Marriage Watch thread, I thought I would create one for Brittany's engagement.

The ideas for a poll are endless . . . .

How many days before a trip to Vegas?

How many days before she's "healthy" again?

How many days will the engagement last?

How many days before an actual wedding?

Which high priced designer will do the dress?

How many millions will be spent on the wedding festivities?

How long will the marriage last?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Just months after annulling her quickie wedding to a childhood friend, pop idol Britney Spears (news) is ready for another trip to the altar.

Her personal publicist and her label, Jive Records, both confirmed on Friday that the 22-year-old singer is engaged to marry her new boyfriend, dancer Kevin Federline.

No further details were immediately available.

But Federline reportedly has been dating Spears for about two months and moved in with her after she underwent arthroscopic surgery two weeks ago to repair a knee injury she suffered while shooting a music video.

According to media reports, Federline, 26, has a 2-year-old daughter by his ex-girlfriend, former "Moesha (news - web sites)" TV actress Shar Jackson, who also is pregnant with a second child.

Federline reportedly met Spears during her 2000 tour, when he was in the opening act, and also was a backup dancer for Spear's former beau, pop star Justin Timberlake (news), at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.

Spears and Federline were first captured by photographers together in Santa Monica, California, in April and were chased by the paparazzi again during her European tour.

Their engagement comes fewer than six months after Spears was granted an annulment in early January to dissolve her surprise two-day marriage in Las Vegas (news - web sites) to a childhood pal, Jason Allen Alexander.

Spears, whose latest album, "In the Zone," was released in November, announced last week that she was canceling her North American summer tour dates while she recovers from knee surgery.

How many days before the country realizes that it's marriages like Britney's (the 2nd one this year and it's only June!) that is destroying the institution of marriage and not committed gay couples?

Is this the guy who was dating that one woman at the time all those pictures were being taken? I'm so clueless...when I read "Brittany Engagement Watch" the only Brittany I could think of was from BB1.

Me too, Kaili! I thought it was Brittany from BB1. I wouldn't have come in if I knew it was Britney Spears.

Hmmmm.....this guy sounds like a real winner. She has known him for only two months, been divorced/annuled from her first go round for only two months, I think she's a little doped up on pain killers to know what is really happening. Remember folks, she's only 22. This is a train wreck waiting to happen. It's like Jay Leno said, Brittney is one pick up truck away from being a country song/singer.

PS. I am still a firm believer that there should be a law that states that you can only be married twice. Even if you get those two times out of the way before you are 23 years old, too dange bad. That would stop all of these serial marriers. Marriage should not be entered into lightly. What the hell is the matter with people? Now I am pi$$ed. And guess what folks, I garauntee all he is seeing is $$ signs, and a way to pay his child support for his other two illegitamate (sp?) kids

Alexander Upset That Singer Didn't Fight For Marriage

POSTED: 9:27 am EDT July 12, 2004

If love built a bridge between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander -- then the pop star's childhood friend-turned-brief-husband has apparently just burned it.

That's because Spears' ex has revealed in an interview with the British tabloid News of the World Sunday several explicit details about their sexual relationship and 55-hour marriage in Las Vegas in January.

"I didn't tell the world about this before because I still hoped we'd get back together," Alexander told the paper about Spears, who recently became engaged to one of her back-up dancers, Kevin Federline. "But I now realize she won't come back to me."

Alexander told the News that Spears proposed to him as she lay naked in his arms the second night the couple became intimate. And, he said, she kept saying how happy she was after they exchanged vows.

But Alexander said once they broke the news to Spears' family, it was the beginning of the end.

"We'd married just after 4 a.m. and by 7a.m. we knew we had to phone our families. It was horrendous," Alexander told the paper. "Britney phoned her mom and I heard Lynne screaming back at her. She went nuts."


Britney Spears

Alexander said then Spears' brother called him and "talked about annulment."

"I didn't know what the word meant so I didn't say anything," Alexander told the News. Alexander said he phoned his father, and "at least he was fine" with the marriage.

"Britney told me to ignore her family and wanted us to run away on honeymoon straight away but we were so shattered we went to bed," Alexander told the paper.

But, Alexander was in for a rude awakening when Spears' brother arrived in Las Vegas with all her people and "they spread a load of papers on the desk and said if I cared about Britney I'd sign them." Alexander said he looked at Spears for help but she looked away, so he signed the annulment papers under duress.

Alexander said he's hurt Spears "didn't stand up and say she wanted to be married" to him. He also said that night they all went out to dinner and Spears was crying, but everyone else was laughing about what they'd done as though it was a big joke.

Whoa....poor guy. He probably loved her his whole life.

Bounce Bounce Bounce

Brittney's getting married on the rebound....ahhh how unsweet.

Deja Vu----didn't J-Lo marry her back up dancer? Is Brittney in competition? I still think Chris Judd is way better of without J-Lo.

But now, I feel bad for Jason Alexander.
