A Breather

The Paley Center for Media’s “Television: Out of the Box” Exhibit

The “If U Seek Amy” House
‘ A few weeks ago, Miss Britney Spears debuted her new video for the third single off her Circus album, the controversially titled “If U Seek Amy”. So, of course, I just had to watch! I was actually pretty excited about this video, as many critics were proclaiming that the old Britney was finally back. I was hoping for…
