Passion or Prenup?

Dear Brittney --

Just a quick note to tell you congratulations on your engagement to Kevin Federline, but girlfriend, can we TALK?! About that prenup ...

Your video for "Everytime" where you show the really gruesome side of fame and fortune was incredible. It was nothing short of mind-blowing, to see you mobbed by fans, nearly torn apart as you enter the fancy hotel, you and your beau going up to the super ritzy suite and then fighting because you're so stressed out and you slip into the gorgeous jacuzzi tub and nearly drown yourself. It was amazing. You're brave and bold to show that side of your life, which is probably more about your real life than anyone knows.

So here's the thing girl. You work your ass off for your money. I've never met anyone with beaucoup de bucks that didn't work their ass off. If they fall in love with someone who really LOVES them, their partner knows this. If their partner has less "frick" as the French say, that is dough-re-mi, that is yankee dollars, that is money honey, that partner should love them enough to insist on a prenup. It's just that way. A prenup protects all your hard-earned cash and girl, you've earned it the hard way and deserve to protect it. Your beau should know. It's not unsexy, it's not unromantic, it's not unreasonable, it's not lacking in passion or love, it's just the right thing. Your parents aren't bugging your ass about it for no reason. Think of it as a financial condom -- smart girls need to protect themselves sometimes.

So I figure you're waiting for your good man Kevin to step up to it. I'll bet he's seeing a lawyer right now. If he loves you, he'll insist on it. And it will tell you that sweetest thing in the world -- he wants your heart, not your bank account. I know he'll do the right thing. You've had a helluva year girl. Let that man love you long and hard, take a break, fill that heart with some new love songs -- private ones for two.

You rock, we love ya -- H
