Is it me or did Britney Spears’ divorce launch the new slew of horrors across music genres?

Yes, let’s blame all global problems on Britney because it feels like fun. No sooner than she outed her new bob, new bod, and new irreconcilable diffs did the world plunge back into gossip doom yet again. In the Spears household, dirt is cast by a sex tape, which about-to-be-ex Kevin Federline is dangling as part of his grand blackmailing and golddigging scheme.

On the celebrity front, Jude Law and Sienna Miller split up for what they say is officially the last time, Borat gets beaten up in NYC, Denise Richards hurls a laptop and hits two clueless old women, and Anna Nicole Smith gets kicked out of her Bahamas home. On the music front, Procol Harum fight over royalties 100 years later from the much obscurely worded, LSD-addled song, A Whiter Shade of Pale. And that’s all on the same week as Brit’s filing for divorce.

Music Celebrity Betting Picks

Guns N’ Roses – Will they release new album Chinese Democracy by 2006? Bodog betting props have odds of -200 it’s a yes, +150 it’s a no. The deal with this album is that it’s been 10 years and $15 million in the making, and when it even gets released, would be the most expensive album ever recorded. And here we thought Axl Rose was spending all that free time treating his bipolar disorder, like that explains everything.

GNR isn’t dead, and sports a new lineup with ex-members of Nine Inch Nails, The Replacements, The Vandals, and Axl’s childhood friend, Paul Tobias, whose guitar rivalry with Slash had helped trigger the breakup. After touring in Las Vegas, San Francisco, et. al., the new GNR lent a new song, Better, to a Harley-Davidson online ad this year, and Rolling Stone announced Andy Wallace would be mixing the new album.

Snoop Dogg – Will he land back in the slammer by February 2007 for possession of a deadly weapon? Odds are +350 he will and -600 he won’t at Bodog celebrity betting. Everyone’s fave rapper to associate with crime, he was famously arrested in the shooting death of Phillip Woldermarian in ‘93, chronicled in the video Two of America’s Most Wanted (with Tupac Shakur) and short film Murder Was the Case.

Snoop’s been in and out of jail since high school, trafficking cocaine with his Crips gang in Long Beach, and was tried for the rape of Six Feet Under makeup artist Kylie Bell at a guesting on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He was arrested once for assaulting a fan, many times by airport security, and it hasn’t helped any outside of strip girls online that he made a porn film, Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, with Hustler in ‘01.

Britney Spears – Jeez, too many betting props to mention. Odds are -200 she will win the custody battle over her kids, and 55-hour ex-hubbie Jason Alexander did go on record to say he’s there for her, and K-Fed is an idiot for doing the blackmail. It’s still a +400 she’ll get back with Justin Timberlake, still dating Cameron Diaz; and K-Fed will get back with ex-wife Shar Jackson, with whom he has another two kids, and we hope it’s why he is golddigging but highly doubt that.
