It's all about Britney



Duran Duran's video for their first single, "Falling Down" of their new album is gaining notoriety (see what I did there?) due to its lead character's resemblance to everybody's favorite trainwreck, Britney. In the video we see a young, rich, starlet get wasted, go to rehab where all the patients are beautiful models (Hey it didn't look like that on Intervention!) get out, and start all over again.

Drummer Roger Taylor said on the Britney comparison, "I suppose it's loosely based on her, but not [only] on one celebrity – just celebrity culture in general. A lot of [young celebrities] seem to disappear into rehab."

Yeah, ok Roger. Did we mention Justin Timberlake co-wrote the song?

Take a look for yourself and decide.


Unfortunately the SUV umbrella beatdown was edited out because umbrellas (ellas, ellas, ellas) are so last summer.

On Britney, Simon Le Bon said "I just wish she could accept help. It seems that all the people who care about her, she’s pushing away."

Speaking of Britney, she ran over another person's foot.
