Female Popstars - Part One
Britney Spears
She's pregnant. And still on TV and in magazines. She's just made a deal to do her first naked photoshoot for a major publication, the reasoning being that if she's pregnant it's artistic instead of sexual. Because she wouldn't want to look overtly-sexual in a magazine.
Aren't pregnant female celebrities supposed to withdraw from the public eye until they have their kid, and then come back a few years later when the novelty of motherhood has worn off and they're prepared to neglect their children to desperately monger the attention of the press again?
Whatever. Bring back the old Britney Spears. The "Hit Me Baby One More Time" pre-Timberlake Britney Spears. This one is lame. 2/10

Mandy Moore
She tried so hard in the late nineties. And was constantly overshadowed by Britney, Christina, even Jessica Simpson, all of whom played the exact same role, right down to shoulder-blade length blonde hair and devout christian background. And so, after Candy, she disappeared, vanished.
The next time we see her she's co-starring in Saved! Have you seen Saved? You should, it was pretty funny. She gets points just for McCauley Culkin's character. 7/10
