Britney Spears Files for Divorce
November 7, 2006 
Two-time mommy Britney Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline Tuesday in Los Angeles citing “irreconcilable differences“:
She is asking for legal and physical custody of their two children, 1-year-old Sean Preston and 2-month-old Jayden James. Spears did agree in the filing to let Federline have visitation rights. The date of separation was listed as Monday.
I guess having two babies back-to-back and naming them very bully-friendly names (Sean Preston? Jayden James?) couldn’t save Britney’s marriage to a guy who put the slackiest of the slackers to shame.
All this makes her 55-hour Las Vegas marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, actually look like a great idea.
According to the court papers, Spears filed for divorce on the same day she made a surprise appearance on Letterman, looking very much in shape in a short black dress:
Good PR move, if I say so myself.
ALSO: In other way less exciting news, there’s some sort of midterm election thing going on today, as well. So, vote.
