Britney should be thanking her lucky stars that Alli Sims is around for damage control, but sometimes even she can't fix things when they're going pear-shaped. Britney's interview today with Ryan Seacrest was headed up by Alli, who answered quite a few questions as Brit flitted in and out of the room. My favorite part? That was definitely when Britney jumped in the shower while the interview was still going on. "Oh, she's in the shower," Alli said as the DJ asked if Britney had a message for her fans. "Do you want to call us back?" But that's not all! Nope, the Britney show just keeps on going (as always), and she didn't seem to share much enthusiasm with her fans regarding her new album. Maybe she's just tired, but "cookies" and "fried chicken" do not constitute "celebratory CD release" in anyone's mind. Picture by Pete Whittle
