Back in August, I warned that Lifetime, destroyer of all cultural iconography we hold dear, was planning on making a movie about the life of Britney Jean Spears. I did not want it then. And, after seeing the first images coming out from the set, I DEFINITELY don't want it now.
Before we take a look, I advise anyone who is triggered by the disfigurement of cherished '90s pop icons to flee from here at once.
Everyone else, gird yourselves, and come with me.

I said it before and I'll say it again:
Other than also being a human woman, I’m not really seeing a resemblance. Plus, she’s Australian! Was Derrick Barry not available?
