Sure, we like to think of ourselves as serious people who do serious things and even have an occasionally serious blog. But then there’s this:

The folks over at Merinews.com (whoever they are) tell us that Britney Spears is considering converting to Islam so she can persue a relationship with “paparazzi boss Adnan Ghalib.” How lucky for him.

From Merinews:

Spears, who has been married twice before, is believed to be obstinate on getting hitched with Ghalib, despite several warnings from her close friends and aides. She has been told that it would be an act of lunacy to marry this man. She says that she’s doing it and she doesn’t give a damn to what anyone thinks, an insider says.

I couldn’t say it any better than Bill Tammeus out at the Kansas City Star: “hasn’t that religion suffered enough?”
