From the forthcoming National Enquirer:
Superstar Britney Spears' erratic behavior has been generating headlines for nearly a year, but she's one of the most stable individuals in her family!You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl...Britney has a dark family secret -- two of her uncles are ex-cons with long rap sheets for crimes in three states, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively from court records.
Road Kill Willie has been busted for burglary, drug distribution and being a deadbeat dad, according to court records. He is the brother of Britney's father Jamie.
Britney's other uncle, June Spears, has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, driving under the influence and beating his wife, say court records.
Willie spends most of the time living in tents and camper trailers or sleeping in cars.
"Until recently, Willie was living in an 18-foot trailer on a riverbank outside of Kentwood," said the insider. "But Willie got hard up for cash and ended up selling his trailer for $60.
"These days he sleeps in his van or stays with friends. "June lives about the same way as Willie, squatting anywhere he can."
Britney's dad sometimes gives Road Kill Willie, 46, and June, 41, work with his construction company, said a source. But the source said the pair fight so much, one of them usually has to go.
Mostly the brothers just pick up odd jobs -- and try to stay out of jail -- unsuccessfully.

My God her family is wacko. Apparently it is a must if you are an "It" girl. See, Janet Jackson, Lindsey Lohan, etc...
Side note, where did you get that pick from?

I agree that "Road Kill Willie" is a pretty good tip-off, but what about "Uncle June"?
It's just surprising that she didn't go into C&W instead of pop . . .

You know, there is an alternate reading to the phrase "you can't take the trailer park out of the girl"

Everyone has crazies in their family. Why would a celeb be immune? And really, who cares?

Um, so your using the National Enquirer as a reliable source for news these days? That's the interesting part about this thread.

Why not, Scott? They're slightly more reliable these days than the New York Times.
