It was just a year ago that we were on the Britney Spears Death Watch. She was spiraling out of control like a Republican Congressman in an airport restroom: shaving her head, flashing her unmentionable when out partying, and losing custody rights to K-Fed. Times were grim. And we’ve all made jokes about her parents with such a golden child like Britney and a serial pregnant teen as a younger sister, but you’ve got to give her parents a little credit as they have stepped in and turned Britney’s life around. That is something good. Happy Birthday, Britney Spears.
