Identify Much?

This video of a Britney Spears fan tearfully begging the media to "leave Britney alone!" is actually pretty disturbing.

Seriously: the level of obsession and faux identification with a celebrity exhibited here reminds me of John Hinkley's fascination with Jodie Foster (he shot Ronald Reagan to impress her), Mark David Chapman's with John Lennon, and that of Yolanda Saldívar, the president of Selena's fan club, who murdered the "Queen of Tejano music."

But now that I think of it, this deranged fan can't kill her idol, 'cause Britney already died on stage the other night at the VMAs.
