DUDE. DUDE. DUDE.

Breaking news: Britney Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline.

And here I thought those two crazy kids were gonna make it after all. What can I say? I'm just pro-love.

Also, in even more breaking, earth-spinning-off-its-axis news, Brit-Brit looks ADORABLE. Love her! Hate her! I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE.

(Thanks, Jess! You've got your finger on the PULSE, man.)

[Tracey editing to add:] Just in case you missed it, here's Britney's appearance last night on Letterman:

OMFG!!! thank christ you're on the ball, amy, whilst i was out running errands.

see, this is precisely why i should NEVER, EVER LEAVE MY COMPUTER! EV-AH!

[honestyrain]

i am so glad to hear it. better she do it now than turn into a whitney houston case. who, thank GOD, has finally come to her (does she have any really?) senses as well.

good for brit getting her life in order.

[Erin]

Wow! I totally didn't see that coming! I mean I did because Us Magazine has been telling us this for months now and my husband is convinced they're always right.. but really? I was in denial or something because this shocked the shit outta me!

[VegMers]

I honestly didn't think I cared about this, but when I saw the story in the headlines, I let out a little yelp! My next move was to come over here and see what you ladies had to say about it.

Good for her. (Oh, and it's about time.)

[Queenie]

Oh THANK GOD you guys posted something about this, I was squeeing with joy when I caught the report on TMZ. I mean, divorce sucks and all, and I actually hate Britney, but I think that I'm ready to read more about the train wreck that is Anna Nicole. Maybe now I'll have something else to read about on my gossip sites.

[Elizabeth]

InTouch, US Weekly, one of those magazines, had her story on the cover last week. She lost 25 pounds in ONE MONTH by exercising twice a day (cardio in the morning, sculpting at night), and not eating anything white (no flour, rice, potatoes etc.) She looks amazing. I actually feel a little sorry for her, it won't be easy being the single mother of a toddler and a newborn, no matter how many nannies she has.

DUDE! DUDE! DUDE!!!!!

This is what I get for reading the Amalah archives this afternoon instead of staying on TMZ!!! Thanks a LOT, Amy....

Just kidding. Kisses!

PS: DUDE!!!!

[Rhi]

WHAT??? Where have I been???

Weird, and she was on David Letterman last night looking SO good.

I LOVE THIS!!

[you da mom!]

i just heard this news. crazy.

[Dad Gone Mad]

I will bet my left testicle that the headlines tomorrow will be something like, "Oops! Britney Says She's K-Fed-Up."

[Karen Rani]

Well thank GOD. That guy is the biggest loser to ever walk the planet. I wonder if she'll ever be America's Sweetheart again?

[AmyC]

My husband had just turned to me and said, "Britney Spears filed for divorce. I read it on the ESPN boards." and I immediately said: "OOOOOHH, Mamapop's gotta have something to say about this..."

And where, may I ask, was my daily PEOPLE magazine email about this one? Totally dropping the ball, they were.

[Min-Tea]

Finally! I'm kinda glad that she's getting rid of him, and I don't even like her that much.

[foodmomiac]

OK, she did look good, but what was up with her boobs??? Um, bra? They were hangin' to her waist!

[Kobri]

My first thought was "about freakin time!" and I felt a little bit of joy, then I felt bad about feeling the joy 'cause..well...rejoicing in someone else's divorce seems kinda wrong. Then I came on here and realized I wasn't alone and really I am just happy for her that maybe she can get herself back together and we can have our Britney back, and maybe, just maybe Justin Timberlake will realize he will always love her and it can be like the last few years never happened. Maybe I am hoping for too much? Anyways, back to rejoicing!!

[jen]

Of course she looks good.

She just lost 150 pounds of dead weight.

[AmyC]

Brit has needed a good bra for years. Through both pregnancies and in between. They have obviously lost some of their natural gravity-defying qualities due to pregnancies. A good bra makes all the difference - ask Trinny and Susannah from "What Not to Wear".

[Maria]

Woo hoo! I think she looks great. Major difference from her most recent public appearances. I was starting to feel sorry for her because she was such a mess. I'm still looking for a good bra, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to listen.

And will someone, please, tell me why I care so much? I've never even voluntarily listened to her music.

[Jessie]

I love that on Perez Hilton they are now calling K-Fed "Fed-Ex". It cracks me up way more than it should.

[MK]

I love that they are calling him Fed Ex on Perez too! his names crack me up!

So sad- she is so young and they boys are so young! he is such a slime! I am pro- love too, but this is the best move she has ever made!

[amanda]

Whoa, now check this out: There is intense speculation (and it's reasonable, I think) that she broke the news to him VIA TEXT MESSAGE. Yep. Go here and scroll down to watch the video.

Oh, and this will never cease to be funny to me:

Sept. 18, 2004: Spears and Federline marry in "secret ceremony" in California. Guests dine on chicken wings, ribs, mini cheeseburgers, crab cakes and Waldorf salad. The couple honeymoons in Louisiana and Fiji.

[erika]

Very exciting news. Question, though, do you think she was wearing a wig on Letterman?
