Spears says umbrella attack was acting, not anger - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When all else fails in Hollywood, blame it on "method acting." Pop star Britney Spears on Thursday explained why she furiously attacked a car with an umbrella -- she was rehearsing for a movie role.

As the former pop princess reinvents her career after a failed marriage, a stint in rehabilitation and panty-less pictures taken in public, Spears posted a note on her Web site, www.britneyspears.com, apologizing to the paparazzi for the umbrella-bashing incident, calling it a "stunt."

"I was preparing my character for a roll (sic) in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally," the 25-year-old wrote. "I take all my rolls (sic) very seriously and got a little carried away."

"Unfortunately I didn't get the part," she added.

Method acting is a technique in which performers prepare for upcoming roles by immersing themselves in the real-life habits, experiences, emotions and thoughts of a character.

Back in February, the mother-of-two repeatedly struck a sport utility vehicle with an umbrella shortly before returning to a substance-abuse treatment center for the third time in a week, ultimately remaining in rehab for at least a month.

Her rehabilitation stint followed a spree of high-profile partying and other erratic behavior, such as shaving off her hair. Upon leaving in March she completed a divorce agreement with aspiring rapper and father of her sons, Kevin Federline.

Spears is trying to stage a comeback, performing for the first time in more than three years in May with a series of 15-minute shows at various nightclubs and reportedly working on her fifth album.

Yeah right, and I'm Gwyneth Paltrow.

She can't even spell "role" right! She'll be lucky if she gets even one "roll".

And freaking out on a plane was her way of rehersing for 'Snakes On A Plane 2.'

I haven't followed Britney's career very closely, but it seems like yesterday that she was a huge star. What the hell happened? I hoped that after she had her children, that she would get back on top. I wonder if it's every going to happen for her. I honestly thought she'd be like Madonna and be famous for decades. Now I'm not so sure.

Some people just can't handle fame I guess.

She really really really needs to stop posting stuff on her website.

And to stop dressing like a hooker.

You forgot to mention she really needs a spell check.

Once she puts out an album she'll be the Britney we're used to. I've heard good things about her new songs.

Well if that's the case, then I guess it's the best acting she's ever done!
