Britney to Star As Virgin Mary, Mother of Baby Jesus

Britney Spears

A French producer wants Britney Spears to star as the Virgin Mary in his new satirical movie, Sweet Baby Jesus. Us Magazine reports:

Spears, 26, would play a pregnant 19-year-old unsure of her baby's paternity who goes into labor on Christmas Eve in Bethlehem, Maryland, as rumors swirl that the birth is Jesus Christ's second coming."

Britney as the Virgin Mary!? That's like having Hitler play Papa Smurf! I just don't see how this could work. Plus, I'm pretty sure Joseph didn't have cornrows and I never read anything about a nasty custody battle in the Bible. Then again, maybe I got a different issue from the publisher or something and that stuff actually happened back in Bethlehem. Who knows, maybe Britney's more spiritually enriched than I thought. But I doubt Britney would ever actually take this role. Last time I checked, they didn't serve chalupas in ancient Jerusalem. There's no way she'd ever work under those conditions.
