You know that move about a drunken mess involving Gwyneth Paltrow? It’s based on Brit Brit’s ham sandwich crazy meltdown and subsequent rise from the pile of Taco Bell wrappers.

The director/writer of ‘Country Strong,’ Shana Feste, told the LA Times that the Britney Spears and her head shaving, umbrella wielding fall from grace was the reason we are being subjected to Paltrow singing.

“That’s where this movie came from. I mean, I was seeing what was happening in the media to Britney Spears. I finished the script when Michael Jackson passed away. I think it’s tragic how we treat people who give us so much, and we love to see them knocked down to build them back up again, to knock them down again. It’s a weird fascination.”

I brazenly admit that Gwen irritates me, but she is the offspring of the fierce Blythe Danner so I will say something nice…um… Wow Gwen, your plastic surgeon has such a delightful sense of humor.” Ok, I will get back to you when I think of something.
