Brit Brit Has Exquisite Taste In Art
The walls of Brit Brit's Chateau de Cheetos in Thousand Oaks, CA are definitely covered with one-of-a-kind painting from masters like Thomas Kinkade, Bob Ross, George W. Bush, C.M. Coolidge and the genius who is responsible for those moving waterfall plug-in pieces. And yesterday, she added another work of art to her impressive collection.
After leaving Target, Brit Brit spotted a sidewalk gallery and made her bodyguards pull over that so she could lay her artistic eye on several pieces of fine art. After going through several paintings, she finally settled on the kind of piece you'd find hanging over a booth at a Mimi's Cafe. I'm sure it will look absolutely stunning hanging over her Genevieve The French Maid table from SkyMall.
Brit Brit and my mom should go shopping together for fine home furnishings, because my mom may or may not have been known to buy paintings from the swap meet and she may or may not have been known to buy oriental rugs from a vendor in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station.

Bob Ross IS a master, don't throw shade on his luscious Afro and stoned as fuck descriptions of happy little shrubs. God what I'd give to hear that man talk about Prussian blue one more time. I NOMINATE BOB ROSS FOR HOT SLUT OF THE DAY!
@flori-duh: I feel you completely.
@miss lainey: I haven't found any originals. Just prints. But they're by Van Gogh, who is my favorite artist besides Frida.
I really hope she is taking care of herself. Mental illness is a bitch and I hate how marginalized it is by society. I hope she's happy and is giving herself a break. She deserves it. I've always wanted the best for her after the shaved head incident and all that followed. I feel for her.
I suffer from bi-polar disorder too..it can be awful
I never liked her music, but I can't not like the girl. I feel for her...manic episodes sux
Miz Vav to you...
I happen to like that painting she picked out. I stop by those kinds of paintings all the time and think about how nice it would be to be there--wherever there is... AND I have two Thomas Kinkaid paintings in my living room--- not my style really, BUT I hung them up when my 87 year old mom came to live with us, because I know she spent a lot for them, and I didn't want to throw them in the closet or in storage. This way she gets to look at them for however many years she has left. Everyone's idea of art is different!
The painting doesn't look that bad to me. Maybe it reminds her of a place she's been before. I also really like her hair brown. It looks like it could be close to her natural color, so it suits her.
The most amazing thing about her is that she had a psychotic break (probably more than one) due to a mental illness that usually sends most non-famous people to the disability check line, and usually sends most celebrities into obscurity after an "I Went Batshit" tell-all memoir (see Kristy McNichol and Patty Duke, both lovely people who champion the rights of the mentally ill). Not this girl. She recorded what I think was her best work (the album Blackout) around the time she went completely nuts. Since then she's had two (or three?) more bestselling albums and tours. She's not the performer she once was, but she still puts out work and people lap it up. I think people see her and think HOPE. Who doesn't love an underdog? She was once a sex symbol, but now she's a symbol of overcoming adversity.
I feel sorry for Britney. I know she's got a shit ton of money but she hasn't looked happy since before she went batshit. In fact, she hasn't looked right since she and JT broke up. Now she looks over medicated and like she's just going through the motions. Why doesn't she just retire? Surely she can live more than comfortably on the money she has made thus far.
Why keep trying to be a "pop princess" when it's clear she's not into it anymore and she sure as shit doesn't look it anymore?
She's going to run away into the painting like the roadrunner and her handlers will bounce of it like the coyote.
MK, so you may or may not have liked your mom's treasured finds? lol But did she buy you rings and other 'diamond' jewelry, like my grandma? I thought not.
I think if something strikes your fancy, you should do exactly this. Admire it or buy it, which ever you want. ;)

That painting is awful, but I kind of get a happy seeing her choose it. I mean, she saw that there was art for sale, she went over and checked it out, and she obviously saw something that made her eyes happy. That is probably the most pleasant thought I have ever had about her.
That's true but maybe it was just another acquisition, to fill her day, like her Target purchases were? If it truly made her happy, then great. Like her fake fiancé: I never saw one pic of them where she looked honestly happy. I hate to say it, but the one time she seemed truly happy is when she and Federline first hooked up and were just fucking their brains out.

When Brit Brit was full on break down there was poster on Dlisted called COMINGBACK. The poster was a Brit Brit defender but said all kinds of crazy shit like Toilet bats and Boot moves. The posts never made any sense (some thought it might actally be Brit Brit lol). Thats where the term comes from ;) I'm sure you could google and find a sample!

Bad art is bad art. You'll know it by its stench. Doesn't mean that Brit Brit is bad--just her taste and judgment are.

So the "buy what you like" ethos should apply as well to clothes, shoes, hair, makeup, movies, music, and all the other things we critique daily on this site? Amanda Bynes likes how she looks.

I'm countin' on Jesus at this point.
I've always kind of rooted for Brit--for all her missteps, she seems like a nice enough person and as many have pointed out, she's never pretentious. She simply wasn't wired to handle the ridiculous fame she achieved but she is what she is.
She'll never return to her snake-dancing glory days, but she's been through a lot and she still has game.

Sorry, making fun at this point is like shooting fish in a barrel. Remember the denim dress? The boot moves? Nearly EVERYTHING Shitters has ever worn (unless a grown-up stylist is on duty)?
Her taste in art is perfectly in line with her taste in clothes, furnishings, and husbands.

Ok, this is long in the past and everything, but... I've been on here for 5 1/2 years (guh) and you guys used to say "boot moves" all the time. I get that she wore those nasty boots all the time. But I never found out exactly what "boot moves" was in reference to. So... if you would be polite enough to oblige? (or not)
I agree with GG. At least Brit Brit is sincere. She doesn't plaster bougie shit all over her house to impress people with some calculated facade of taste, class, or culture.
And when is the new generation of trainwrecks going to come to celebrity gossip culture?

Why can't that be me? About 20 years ago I was at an antique shop and this little painting of a black man driving a buggy caught my eye. I kept going back and forth about it, but decided not to get it. I kept thinking about it and decided to get it the next day, but someone had just bought it before I came in. A week later I was watching the local PBS station and they were doing a special on black artist from Maryland who died in the 30s. Yeah, that little picture was his.
I'll allow that Britney likely got pushed into many things by her parents and managers. But she also made a lot of dumb decisions on her own, like marrying and having kids with K-Fat, taking dope, hanging out with Adnan Ghalib, etc. Ultimately she's responsible for those free choices.
IMNSHO, she's not all that talented. She doesn't write her own songs, can't dance very well, and can't act to save her life. The truth is she hit the big time by being marketed as Lolita.

Just a damn cloud-painting minute there MK!
You leave my Bob Ross alone! He taught me the number one rule of celebrity gossip: "There are no mistakes, just happy accidents." Do you know how many times I have to repeat that to myself when Im reading about Blowhan, Bieby, and Fist?
(slaps MK with Bob Ross's quarter-inch brush then paints pair of happy trees on his ass)
Well, I'll bet the neighbors are just LOVIN' this!--Mama.
People should buy what makes them happy, but please people...buy real art made by actual people, not those prints made in China. Support your local students and art community.

Looks like brit has her shit screwed down these days, and sadly, paris hilton as well. Brit takes home monthly more than my lifetime earnings, and she needn't work. Winehouse kicked, so that just leaves lilo as our amusing trainwreck that never ends.

still got a soft spot for brit. she got dickmatized by kfed, back to back kids, he ended up being a dbag of course, he pissed her off one last time, so she dumped him with the quickness, he had so much dirt on her and she knew it, but at least the kids are doing good. glad she is away from that creepy manager guy she was gonna marry. i think her and k fed were really in love, but kfed is just the cheating kind. but at least he never dissed the mother of his children in public, i know they both partied, but she was definitely worse and the right thing was for him to have the kids cuz brit needed to get it together , the leeches were out in force after her and kfed split. love her hair, much better.
That is mean. I love Bob Ross! He was such a sweetie and his art now fetches big money.
GW isn't bad for a budding artist. I have seen a lot worse from people painting much longer than him.
She looks good.
That hair color is a huge improvement over her over processed blonde. Much better.

She does the best she can. Brit's had a crazy life from a young age and that's not even counting whatever mental health problems she has (which are apparently significant and made her a ticking time bomb). Seems to have her priorities straight, and those do not include obnoxious reality shows, publicity pregnancies and general fame-whoring. I cannot snicker at anyone who's been struggling and trying to turn things around.
LMAO @ this post. Still, it seems wrong to trash Brit Brit over getting a painting. WTF cares? LOL. More importantly, her body guard is hot and I'd be doing him every single day.
Pushy..I love SUPRISE kitten..
Did you ever find that post?
Now is the time. You're not promised tomorrow. -PR

its a good day when you can get brit in a bra. other than that i try not to be too judgmental with this woman.. she has problems.
Chateau de Cheetos? Hahahah.

LMAO! You haz the taste! If you ever tire of that glorious piece of art, send it my way. Would love to see what happens when it is put at cat eye level!

She has shitty taste in art. *turns off singing sea bass on wall* And it actually sings Take Me To The River.

I'm sorry but she's a huge huge part of my gay child hood I could never knock anything she does , plus she's crazy in an adorable way.
I think Brit is a good person at heart with problems just like the rest of us. I would take her over simps like Lohan or Kim K any day. At least she is herself.

Looks exactly like the cheesy as fuck paintings that cover the walls of my in-laws' house. All the money in the world won't buy you class.
Hey, don't knock those moving waterfall plug-in pieces! I remember when I first saw them I begged my mom to buy one.

I collect crying clown paintings....they mean a lot to me, very personal
Don't know if you are joking/serious. Red Skelton did some beautiful clown paintings.
I can't hate on this either. Your walls should be covered with art that makes you happy not something that someone else thinks is important. Life's too short. Hell, I love my Abstract Expressionists and they are in museums all over the world. I imagine that a lot of people would choose Brit's painting over a Rothko. You like what you like.
Better than having her handlers buy sh!t for her.. She seems a lot more alive latey.. Especially after she broke up with Jason.
Snobby, artsy fartsy types irritate me so I can't hate on Brit Brit for buying this stuff. It isn't my cup of tea but so what. If you like it and it makes you happy to look at it, what's the big deal.

Did you hear about the guy that found 30million worth of art in a garage? It was on GMA last week. Him and his partner were doing a flip and found all this art in the garage. His partner thought it was garbage and wanted to toss it but he decided to get it checked out. $30 mil. Happy hunting Miss L and Grace.
