DETROIT - Teen sensation Britney Spears spent more than 20
minutes listening intently to a story about peer rejection
from 15-year-old Kelly Fry, who met the star backstage following
her performance Monday.
"It was a dream come true," said Fry who was able
to meet her favorite pop star after winning tickets and backstage
passes from a local radio station. "I told her all about
how I didn't get asked to the prom and she explained that
she was just like me in high school - ugly and fat with horrible
acne. It made me feel so much better."
Spears nodded and sighed as Fry explained how the kids in
school tease and torture her relentlessly, then continued
with a story of how her parents threw a slumber party for
her Sweet 16 and nobody showed up because they found out about
her bedwetting problem.
"I been there, girl," Spears said, looking at her
watch and waiting impatiently for her limo. "Yeah, the
teenage years are really hard. Totally a nightmare. Has anyone
seen my driver?"
When Fry explained how she has a chronic intestinal disorder
that requires her to wear special underwear and is called
"Smelly Kelly" by students and teachers alike, Spears
made her feel better by explaining how much the two of them
had much in common.
"School is so hard and those boys can be so mean to
us, can't they?" Spears said. "Those mean old football
players would just stare at my breasts all the time and sometimes
they even called me a princess. I know exactly how you feel,
girl!"
As several security guards ushered Spears into her limo,
Fry waved goodbye and promised she would save her virginity
until marriage just like Britney.
"Yeah, you do that," Spears said. "Save yourself.
Yeah. Whatever."
