Is there anyone on Earth who didn't see this coming? Maybe we should leave poor little Britney and K-Fed alone. But, come on, we've been waiting patiently since the day they said their vows (even this is rumored to have been a false date now) for this news, do you really think we'd let this slip by?

In case you're hanging out in a hole somewhere with bin Laden (even he's probably been informed already), you might not know that our favorite little pop-tart-turned-white-trash Britney Spears has finally kicked Kevin Federline to the curb.

But alas, you didn't think the drama would stop so easily, did you? Get ready for months of rumors, scandal, gossip and lies (it's almost like Christmas is coming early for us this year)!

The Kids
In the divorce, Brit asks for both legal and physical custody of their two kids. We're not really shocked at this one. And yes, we love to give K-Fed a hard time ... but even we're not so sure that this would be in the children's best interest. Even we at the Red Pill (single, no children) had to give Britney parenting tips -- that's just sad. We also find it funny that K-Fed even wants these kids, considering he's already left a few behind.

The Bills
Not surprising, the couple has a rock solid prenup. Brit's even stretched to ask the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees. What does this mean for us? No more K-Fed CDs! We told you Christmas came early.

The Icing on the Cake
Shortly after filing for divorce she went to celebrate at the ice-skating rink at Rockefeller Center in New York. What was she really doing? We think she's brushing up on her skills to make her comeback on the next season of 'Skating With Celebrities.' It helped other has-beens recover their careers, right? Oh wait, no, no it didn't.

Was Anyone Shocked?
"It doesn't surprise me one bit that Britney filed for divorce. I was always reading how Kevin would spend thousands of dollars in Las Vegas every weekend on him and his friends while Britney was home taking care of the kids.

"Britney makes all the money, too. I've recently read that a lot of Kevin's concerts were canceled because of poor ticket sales. Britney is better off without him."

"I haven't been this shocked since I heard the Beatles broke up."

"I couldn't believe Britney married that scrawny punk. And to call himself K-Fed? What's that?"
-- RokkNoggin


On the Next Red Pill

Britney's not the only one to call it quits. Reese Witherspoon decided to ditch her man too. Who should she hook up with next?

Skipped a Dose?


What's that? You missed last week's Red Pill? For shame! Swallow it here!
