Just in Case: AP Prepares Britney’s Obit

By Eric on January 18, 2008

I generally don’t follow “celebrity news” because, well, there are lots of more important things going on. This, though, is truly fucked up. For the past month, the Associated Press–that’s no tabloid, folks–has been preparing Britney Spears’ obituary so they can get the jump when she kicks the bucket.

 “We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time,” AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington tells Us.

“I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now,” Washington adds. “Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared.”\

Anything for a scoop, I guess. I just hope that, when she does eventually pass, that her death doesn’t inconvenience the media.

1. Thats really sortof mind-boggling, that the media is prepared in advance for eventual celebrity death. It does cause one to wonder just how many celebs make that list of advanced obit ready?
