You beat Britney on your worst day. And that pic of you there IS really good.

Katie, definately. Atleast she doesn't have to pretend she likes Pepsi.

Plus have I mentioned Britney Spears is a fucking cheap whore?

-- Anonymous, February 08, 2001

Oh, Katie definately kicks Britney's arse. Katie has that more natural pepsi drinker look. The fact that Katie is NOT an ugly, stupid, bottom trash feeding, slut-whore from hell with plastic filled boobies also goes a long way.

Isn't Timberlake a N'Stink guy?

Yeah, but really, what's the difference?

Hmmm, Katie doesn't have that "Drink this and I'll have sex with you" look that Britney Spears does.

-- Anonymous, February 08, 2001

I bet that look sells a lot of Pepsi though. I know it's been said but that is a really good picture of you Katie. Of course, any picture of you that you smile in is a good one.

That doesn't even look like Britney Spears...it looks like a coked out Barbie whore.

Katie wins, hands down.

Ok, gotta rant:

Why does everyone call Britney Spears a whore or a slut? I mean, come on people, she dresses like a prostitute, but that definitely does not mean she is one.

While we're at it, even if she DID have lots and lots of sex, why should we be able to label her a slut? Would we do the same for a male celebrity (like James Woods)? I don't think so.

Pardon my soapboxing, but I take offense when people use the words slut or whore. I think it's degrading, rude, and a double-standard issue. I also think it's used too lightly, as an insult. I liken it to people calling other people gay or saying, "That's so gay!" with a negative connotation....using words as insults when they really just mean to say, "I don't like him/her."

Let's face people - Britney Spears wouldn't know personality if you rolled it up and hit her in the face with it.

Go Katie - YeHah! She's the pepsi chicky-babe!

Heh heh... Britney's a slut.

Slut and whore are so much fun to say and repeat over and over again... Slut just rolls off your tongue... say loud and say it proud... sluuttt..... whooorrreeeee.... See, ain't it fun?

That is a good pic. I like Pepsi too, man!

do you guys know britney spears? i don't, so i can't say if she's a whore or a slut or what. all she does is dress provacatively, but we're the ones on the internet talking about fucking and foreskin.

i think it's pretty messed up that girls are always so willing to HATE other girls and call them whores and sluts and bitches. i have given and received on that end, and i can't say i'm proud to be so catty and typical. maybe i am being preachy, but it's almost 6 am and nothing good is on the history channel. anyway, it rules to be secure enough in your femininity and attractiveness that you don't have to put down other girls to make yourself feel better.

with that said, i would definitely switch from coke to pepsi if i saw katie tapdancing with that freaking pepsi girl, and channeling ray charles or something.

Do I care?

Damnit, I posted the last message before I was down with it... "Do I care?"... I bash Britneys of the world because it's funny. Do I really believe all that stuff, maybe, maybe not... but come on... its all in good fun... and once again, I must add that Katie rocks... Britney sucks! Katie for Pepsi spokesperson!!! ra ra ra!

"I bash Britneys of the world because it's funny. Do I really believe all that stuff, maybe, maybe not... but come on... its all in good fun... "

Which is what kids see, and then they think it's ok, because they don't know "its all in good fun," and they go around calling women sluts and thinking that's just fine. Thinking they don't have to respect women who dress like Britney, who act like Britney, because they are "just sluts," not worth of respect. They're not really humans like the rest of us, now are they? Nope, you can pretty much do or say whatever to or about them.

Leads to abuse, rape, etc., etc.

And no, that's not really that extreme.

You have to consider the type of lifestyle Britney has verses Katie. Britney is a performer. All performers wear costumes. I mean, she can go out and dance on stage wearing jeans and a college sweatshirt, now can she. I mean, Katie dresses like a normal girl. Britney dresses like a normal girl in her lifestyle.. in my opinion anyways. Look at any Hollywood star or singer. They have access to a lot of different and diverse fashion that us peons don't have accesss to and can't afford. Besides, if I had the body and the confidence that Britney has, I'd dress in skimpy clothes.

Katie, you win. Britney's a hypocrite. I have her CD. It's poppy, upbeat, one-dimensional and fun. The thing that bugs the fuck out of me about her is that she signed on to do some Herbal Essences commercials, then backed out of them to support the actors' strike. One month later, she's signed up to do Pepsi commercials.

Who's Britney Spears? Hey Brian!

Britney is called a whore due to the way she dresses for the same reasons Calista Flockheart is called a stick insect. Calista Flockheart is not a stick insect. She is a human being. But she resembles a stick insect, so that's what people call her. Madonna is not a cowgirl/geisha/Morticia Addams desert goddess thingy, but she dresses like one. The guy in the Barney suit is not a dinosaur, but he dresses like one. Some people are not actually blondes, but they dye their hair that way, and that is what they are called.

Most people are not idiots, but we have no problem calling them that. Britney is, most likely, not a whore. She may be shallow and pretentious and fake, but she is not a whore. She chooses to look and act like one.

James Woods, no doubt, IS a whore. But James Woods isn't as big a cultural icon as Britney. We don't have to see his face everytime we open a magazine, or turn on the TV or radio. He is slightly less irritable than Britney, therefore we save our harsh words for those who are asking for them, like Bill Clinton for instance.

You Katie, without a doubt.

But, no, I'm not all down on Britney Spears. She doesn't bother me, I don't think she's a big old whore... She's just there.

By the way, Katie, for some reason seeing you and Britney Spears all grining and holding Pepsi's cracked me up.

My six year old niece likes Britney Spears. That scares me. I really don't want to see my niece dressing or acting like Britney. Kids my niece's age are highly impressionable. I think Britney's a bad role model.

Did you guys hear about what Britney did in Rio? Did that really happen or was it tabloid trash?

I think britney rocks and if i had to choose between seeing either of you two live I would choose her anyday!

i like britney most and if i had to pick between any other pop singer i would pick brintey. but 1 thing about her is she dresses way to slutty and she has a b/f too.

If Katie is true to herself and isn't a hypocrite then her any day. Thought I'd post my list of the top 10 reasons britney spears is a hypocrite. Enjoy!

1)The whole Prince William thing. One Quote "He's so great. We e-mail each other all the time" Another quote "I've never met him. Someday I'd like to but I've never talk to him or anything" (Personally if you are going to lie stick with one lie)

2)The whole Justin Timberlake thing. We aren't dating, we are dating. Thank god they finally made up their minds. I even found in the same mag. one quote from her that said that they weren't dating and one that said they were. (I think the editor of that mag. should have been paying a little more attention.)

3)Her attire. Now everyone says she's just proud of her body, and she has a right, and yada, yada, yada. But the fact is I have a quote from her in a mag. which she states "I would never wear a bra and hot pants." Yet note her attire in her most recent music video "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know."(No a bra and hot pants would have covered more!)

4)I also have a quote from her that says she would never get a tattoo and body piercing. She now has a tattoo on the small of her back and a belly button ring.

5) She is aghast and can't seem to understand why old men find her attractive, yet look at what she wears!(Not all men over twenty five go blind!)

6)She also says that she is just doing what she wants, and is just expressing herself, and it's not her fault that small children look up to her, yet she puts out barbie dolls that sing when you press her stomach.(Last time I checked not many 15-25 year old guys or girls played with barbies)

7)Contradicting my last example, she also states in another mag. that she believes she is a good role model for children. (Yeah I want my children acting and dressing like her.)

8) I told theses facts to a friend of mine (who is a huge Britney fan) and she agreed about my points and also told me that she found quotes from britney, stating after the relationship was confirmed, that one she said she loved Justin and in the other she said she wasn't so sure.(Justin on the other hand has never wavered on his feelings, or more importantly quotes on his feelings)

9) Also she says that the clothes she wears and the person she exposes on stage isn't really who she is. How the heck does she expect for anyone to respect her if she can't do the simple thing of being herself. If she really is a person that likes jeans and T- shirts then maybe that's what she should wear on stage. (she use to wear that.) A little mid drift is one thing. I really don't care if her stomach is showing. It's when her tit's are flying out and her butt's hanging out, and if she moves too much the whole thing might come undone and then it would be Britney seriously "uncovered". If she isn't suggestive like that, then she shouldn't expose that kind of person to her audience. She should be real. ( Something Justin says is really important to him in a relationship and people in general, hhhhmmmmm, okay, so maybe he can have a hypocritical moment too.)

10)Finally, I believe she is personally disrespecting Justin and his fans. She portrays herself like, excuse the term, a slut, and that's what Justin is dating. This kind of person is who he falls in love with. And all those little girls that are in love with Justin think, okay, to get Justin or a guy like Justin I have to look and act like Britney Spears. So now she isn't just telling her fans to look like this to be popular and to be found attractive, but Justin 's fans as well. Another thing, I seriously think she totally disrespected Justin in her recent video "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know." I mean how does rubbing up and down some guy express what the song is suppose to say. And what we see apparently isn't the worst of it because that video had to be edited by her mother.

Now if she is a great person, like one of my friends keeps telling me, then all I'm trying to say she should show that to everyone in what she says, what she does, and how she shows herself to the world, because I don't know her personally, I can only go by what she exposes to me as the public.

Extra FAQ.

I was at an 'Nsync concert July 27th and Britney Spears was there. While she stood in the VIP section talking to one of 'Nsync's bodyguards, tons of girls hung over the railings asking for pictures and autographs, and all she did was ignore them. One of the actors from "Clueless" was also there and he took tons of pics and sign autographs, and his job doesn't depend on it. I guess britney forgot that fans are what make her famous

Heather, I'm not going to argue with most of what you said, but I would like to respond to some of your points:

1) Prince William: It's normal to e-mail someone back and forth and never meet them, especially when you live in different countries. Perhaps when she said she's never talked to him she meant on the phone instead of online.

2) Justin Timberlake: Did you ever think that maybe the media wanted to see them together so badly that they (the media) said they (B&J) were dating even if they weren't at first? Reporters have been known to distort and even fabricate quotes to acheive an intended result. Also, it's perfectly normal to be just friends with someone to start out and then progress to dating.

3) Her image: Once you become a celebrity you forfeit the right to be yourself. It doesn't matter anymore if she's a jeans-and-t-shirt kind of girl at heart or if she wants to be a role model or anything else. Her record company and her managers and whoever else is responsible for keeping Britney in the public eye have created an image for her and unfortunately anytime she (or any celebrity, really) tries to be herself she gets called a hypocrite because she's being inconsistent with her fake public image. It's a tragedy so many celebrities aren't allowed to be themselves. And about the tattoo and belly ring: You've never changed your mind about anything, ever? Tons of people have sworn they'd never do X, Y and Z but once a decision had to be made they went ahead and did X, Y and Z anyway. It's not hypocrisy, it's humanity.

And since I never did answer the original question back when it was first asked: I'd take Katie over Britney any day. Rowr. =^)

Britney wins. I have nothing against Katie, but I don't know much about her and would be inclined to believe that Britney wins. What exactly is the contest suppose to be about? Obviously Britney is more popular, who heard of Katie? Britney has more money, Etc. What does Katie have? Why do you need to compare yourself to anyone? Britney doesn't go around comparing herself so far as I know others do that. If you know who you are you don't have to compare yourself to anyone to make yourself feel better.

Rob asks: "What exactly is the contest supposed to be about? Obviously Britney is more popular, who heard of Katie?"

*We* have, silly. Perhaps you found this via a search engine. If that is the case, maybe you don't know we're doing here. This is one of many topics on a message board for an online journal (or diary, if you prefer). This topic was spawned by an entry Katie wrote back in February in which she declared herself a better Pepsi spokeswoman than Britney. (Look near the bottom of the entry.) And dammit, she is! Katie makes me want to go out and buy some Pepsi and I don't even *like* the stuff! (And no, I'm *not* trying to hit on her. Well, I don't *think* I am, anyway...)

Hope that helps...
