Was beauty the real cause of Britney Spears' fender bender?

What is more shocking about Britney Spears' Saturday night fender bender?

(a) That Britney was reportedly putting on makeup while driving (according to the driver of the car she ran into this weekend)?

or

(b) That she was putting on makeup while driving to have dinner with her mom (as she reportedly told the driver after the accident)?

Who puts on makeup to see their mom?

She DID go out to dinner with her mom, according to news reports. Also it wasn't a "fender bender" since the cars were totally unmarked. It is also questionable that the 21-year-old driver, who now claims back pain, could see the car in back of him in the dark, and with the headlight glare on the freeway. Which raises another question--if he was looking at the car in back of him....did he cause the accident? Reckless driving on his part, it seems.

Well, I would put on makeup when I am a celeb to see my mom if it were in a restaurant, but not while DRIVING the CAR!! Who knows, that woman is mad. Who shaves their heads??

It has been nice to see that the media has been given Ms. Spears a break. As far as the fender bender goes, it sounds as though she is getting back into the main stream. Who hasn't had a fender bender no matter what the cause? Quit making a big deal of things and get on with your own lives, so that Ms. Spears can get on with hers.
