  • And everything like that

    New here, I like Brit. But it is impossible for me to listen to this abomination of the English language. The misuse of the word whenever is triggering for me.

    Brittany is funny, insightful and engaging. I appreciate her raw honesty and she needs to know she never lost her sparkle. I just watched WWHL holy moly. Britney looks absolutely stunning. Old-school Hollywood glamour.
