The Lebanese Britney Spears ? COME ON !
You are comparing greatness with decadence.
Is there a freakin' reason why CNN is turning to some cheap magazine?! this is a news channel, have more respect for the channel and stick to covering proper topics.

She definitely need to work out on her English language.
