The denim was on the wall the whole time - we just never knew it

We all should have known it wouldn’t have lasted.  It was like Halley’s Comet – a bright, intense beauty that amazed us, but faded off into the darkness.  Now all we have left are distant memories and paparazzi pictures.  I guess the events of October 19^th have put the final nail in the coffin and made it official – the Britney Spears/Justin Timberlake relationship is officially dead. 

I know it has been over for a while, but for some of us, we still held out hope that they would rekindle a relationship.  To us, they were the prom king and queen of Hollywood.  They were attractive, talented, and masters of their craft.  They were everything we hated and wanted to be rolled into one.  They were simply put perfection.

I know it sounds crazy, but I always thought they would get back together.  I figured they would sow their wild oats, get a few relationships under their belts, and inevitably find each other again.  However, my fears of their relationship’s demise grew monumentally when Britney married Kevin Federline.  Kevin Federline was in my opinion a knock-off Justin.  He was attractive enough and a pretty good dancer, but that is where the similarities ended.  Britney wanted everyone to think that she found her soul mate, but we all saw what it really was – a generic form of the real thing that she once had.  I suppose K-Fed was the point of no return for Justin.  

Why is it that we as fans get so attached to these Hollywood couples?  Do we really love these celebrity couples?  Do we really hate these celebrity couples?  Or do we really love to hate them?  These celebrity break-ups are nothing new.  Throughout the years there have been many Hollywood couples whose break-ups have shaken up the public - Jessica Simpson and Nick Lacey, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Danny Devito and Rhea Peralman (well maybe not so much with them, but you get the point.) 

While we do root for true love in Hollywood there are some couples that you just flat out root against, like Katy Perry and Russell Brand.  We all knew that relationship would never work out, but for some reason she didn’t see it.  Personally I think she was trying to prove people wrong and make the best out of a bad situation.  But maybe the more likely reason is that the flash of all of the paparazzi cameras impaired not only her vision but her good judgment.  What else could explain it?

When it comes to Britney and Justin I guess we have to ask ourselves where it went wrong.   Was it the fame?  Was it the money?  Was it the matching denim outfits they wore to the 2001 American Music Awards?  We will never know.  All we do know is that the denim was on the wall the whole time, we just never knew it.











The beginning of the end - it's written all over the denim.

The good old days when Jessica was thin, they were in love, and sun tattoos were cool.

Who knew he was really thinking "I'm going to leave you one day for someone so not as hot as you."

 

 

Oh Katy, where do we begin?
