NEWS: Portrait of a Scumbag

CELEB: Portrait of a Scumbag

A recent article from US Weekly details some guy’s tale of having hooked up with a drunken Britney Spears. He lays out all the salacious details (apparently more are available in the magazine) and they lap it up. How he went from an extra in her video, to drinking it up with her and her crew, to making out with her on the roof of the Standard Downtown, and then, who knows what with her behind the closed doors of her hotel room.

The article stops there. Shockingly they don’t mention him waking up the next day, avoiding himself in the mirror as he presumably does every morning, and calling US Weekly with his “shocking” story. They don’t cover the part where his fee is negotiated and delivered and, this part blows me away, not once in the article is he referred to as a huge fucking scumbag.

Not even in passing. Not even a “Freshly-minted scumbag, Matt Encinias, approached the pool area.” Nor a, less-harsh, parenthetical “Matt Encinias (college student, scumbag) approached the pool area.”

My question is, how do they take this guy’s call, hear his pitch, interview him, take his photo… all without once vomiting, just slightly, into a balled up paper towel? Not one person involved with this story has a soul?

Yeah, I know. That's the tabloid media. People love stars, they love hearing about what they’re doing and where they’re eating. Fine. I get that. They want to talk to Britney’s ex, Federline, okay, I guess. They had some sort of connection, spawned a thing, and it’s possibly I suppose that he’ll give you some sort of insight into her world.

That is not the case here. Everything about him and his actions are wrong. If Britney was some average girl at some average bar, he met and hooked up with, and afterwards he told everyone at the bar, loudly and in great detail, what had happened, wouldn’t he be considered a scumbag?

Beyond that… This woman is clearly, CLEARLY, not okay. Spiraling desperately out of control, making one horrific choice after another… Forget about "men to allow inside her," she shouldn’t be allowed to pick out TV channels.

Would this guy hook up with a mentally-handicapped person? How is this different? What about a crack whore? We can agree that would be wrong, right?

In anticipation of all the “Dude, she’s hot, I’d hit it comments,” I’ll concede that, okay, maybe you're drunk too and you’ve always had a crush on her, something happens… Fine, that doesn’t make you the worst person ever. But can’t it end there?

By that I mean, I can’t help but pity people who get plucked from obscurity for some thing they had no control over and permanently labeled the “blank” dude or lady… They didn’t want it, nor ask for it so it sorta sucks for them and for that reason I feel pity. Which makes this all the more insane. This wretched fucking person, knowingly runs arms open towards this embarrassing legacy… The guy who took advantage of a borderline-incompetent person in desperate need of help, that's who he is. You did it, douche! You’ve willing branded yourself as a scumbag.

TheCoolerKing gets that this kind of thing happens all the time and it's part of life, however, sometimes even dead-inside fucks like him can't help but feel bad in the wake of such brazen shittiness.

I saw that shit at the checkout today and it just appalls me, the poor girl is seriously lonely as hell and trying to fill the void, and these fuckers are taking advantage of her one by one to get famous! All this guy is famous for is being a douchebag though, so score one for you!

Or two if you wanna get technical.

we can really just hope that in this case, karma acted retroactively in the form of a sexual encounter with britney spears in her current state.

I agree with you completely.

maybe he was a man hooker and she forgot to tip...... i dont know?

Interesting. Britney Spears is a whore for her actions and Collin Farrell, George Clooney, etc, etc are regarded as "players" and "ladies men."

I <heart> society.

Wait, who said she was a whore?

I definately feel sorry for her. No wonder she's such a wreck with scum bags like for "friends". She had a couple drinks, got topless in a hot tub, flirted a little...and we're all supposed to give a flying fuck? Wow.

OK, I'll bite...where do you start? This whole world is full of fake ass people. The reason we are hearing this story in the first place is due to fake ass people. I stand in line behind them every day, I drive by them on the highway every day, I work with them every day.

I am awash in fake assedness. I rinse it off of me in the shower every day. I fight the mind-numbing feel of it every day. I turn off the tv full of it every day.

I feel bad for Brtiney, as a person but where did all of this start? Where does it end? I don't know...

As someone who once worked for the company that publishes US Weekly, I feel qualified to answer why they didn't throw up while interviewing this particular scumbag.....because they're a bunch of scumbags too. Wenner Media is one of the most vile media companies around, and that's saying a lot.

Meh, I only liked her in the schoolgirl outfit; and not much then. Can't help but pity the ones that are churned out of the American celebrity machine and worked until they're rotten through.

That said, the Kiss And Tell has been a repugnant tradition throughout most civilisations.

That's what I was wondering...

My apologies. They called her a "tramp." Much different I suppose.

Also...
"Would this guy hook up with a mentally-handicapped person? How is this different? What about a crack whore? We can agree that would be wrong, right?"

Crack whore, it wasn't said directly, but that's the implication. She's also mentally handicapped, apparently.

I would have said "slut" rather than "whore" but it's pretty damn implicit from the article.

Such a gentleman. I wonder if they gave him a sticker or a t-shirt too.

Especially when the U.S. Weekly article starts with:

Ah, sorry, I was confused. I thought you were referring to the article on SG and/or the comments here.

Carry on!

Im just wondering who YOU think you are that you know her state of mind and wellbeing and that she was taken advantage of ? .... Do you really think shes no better off than a mentally retarted person ?

I mean maybe you do know, i mean besides what you read in the media (cause we all know thats all truth) and if you do im just curious how ...

that literally made me laugh out loud.

stop it britney. just stop it!!!

Well, the dude who sold his story and US Weekly are basically saying she is. At the same time, they're totally taking advantage of her, that's the point.

I honestly would like to know why getting laid once in a while and being a mom means you're "spiraling out of control"? Sure, she's done some INCREDIBLY fucked up things, but why does flirting with and possibly having sex with a hot guy mean you're suddenly out of control? According to what I've read on the situation, her kids were with their father that night. So, it's not like she was parading sex in front of them or neglecting her motherly duties to them that night. Jesus...

Britney who?
