Starbucks Closing Today: WWBD? (What Would Britney Do?)

Starbucks will be closing all of it's locations for three hours tonight to retrain some 135,000 employees in an effort to re-vitalize it's sagging image.

This had me in a sweat-infused panic until I stopped and thought about another Starbucks fanatic, and what she might do in such a crisis. And how I might emulate her.

What Would Britney Do?

I'm thinking Britney might take the time to play a game of Chutes and Ladders with Sean and Preston, who she was recently reunited with. Me, I'll play Guitar Hero with my daughters and try not to brag when I kick their asses at "Barracuda."

Then Britney might take those hours from 5:30 to 8:30 to have all of her "I Heart Sam Lutfi" tattoos removed. I'll get my "Peter Frampton 4Ever" lasered out.

Britney might use all three long hours to sit and contemplate life. I'll lay in bed and try and upload YouTube videos to my iPhone.

Three hours will be over before I know it, and I'll be clutching a hot double-tall-dry-cappuccino once again. Praise Britney!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Hear the Call of the Coffee Bean

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are doing what comes naturally for parents of a new baby - getting out of the house to escape the crying and trying to ingest as much caffeine as humanly possible. Nicole looks great, especially considering that she just gave birth to daughter Harlow Winter three weeks ago. Three weeks after I gave birth, there's no way my legs would have looked as skinny as Nicole's. Mine looked more like Joel's. Okay, maybe not that bad.

They both have that slightly shell-shocked look of new parents, that look that says, "Where the hell does all that poop come from?"
