Brit Sings in Church? Get the Flock Outta Here!

A report from overseas says that Britney Spears is going to sing at Mel Gibson's church next month. As funny as it sounds, it just ain't true.
Britney Spears, Mel Gibson
Brit would perform a "gospel-style number" for Mel and his parishioners, according to the Mirror. The paper even quotes a source that says Britney might "have a new song written for her for the occasion."

But Mel's rep tells us there isn't "an ounce of truth to it." Looks like she'll have to find salvation another way.

31. #28, Mel Gibson is a Catholic? Really? How many Catholics say that John Paul II is in Hell? And, how many Catholics say that they love their wife, that she has stood by them through alcoholism, abuse, and infidelity, and raise all their children virtually on her own BUT because she is a Protestant Christian she is going to Hell? Mel Gibson is a bigot, and an embarrasment to the teachings of Christ the Lord.

32. The Britney news has really disappeared. Now TMZ has started making up stories. Try Lohan, (oops, I forgot that she has changed her ways. Try Paris (oops, I forgot that she has settked down with her new love.). Try Miley Cyrus (oops, Her parents don't play that.) Oh well, I guess it will have to continue to be your imagination. LOL

34. You're right, there's no way this is true. Whether or not Mel Gibson still practices the very strict guidelines of his version of Opus Dei, the Catholic Church requires that music performed during service be written specifically for worship. In other words, no secular music. There would be nothing Britney could sing unless a recognized, sacred music composer wrote her a song. While that is possible, it surely isn't happening at Mel's church -- everything is said in Latin, very old world, Bishop LeFevbre.

35. "31. Grandma 2---Post 30---
When referring to Brister, Robert meant that since Britney was from the South, that she was going to get banged ny the entire family...It's an incest joke...And it's disgusting...Because, while it's okay to bang a cousin, you cross the line when you bang a sibling

With the inclinations you have just made, this Member of the Brister Family is insulted.. I guess we need to deem this as very bad taste..

Margeaux - I'm Catholic. I grew up in a primarily black neighborhood in Seattle where, At St. Therese Catholic church, some decidedly secular (and rockin') music was played in church, once (during my childhood) on a scratchy tape recroder! These were "Amen! Uh Huh, oh yes, Amen!" services. Now I live across town in uppityville where no one makes a sound in church, and my kids go to Catholic school, like I did. At their/our new church, however, secular music would not be played. Instead, we're crucifying an 8th grader as part of the Passion play tomorrow. Some Catholic churches are very traditional, and some are not. AND, to the other poster, you don't have to "convert" to sing in the choir. My dad was an atheist who joked to my Catholic mom about nuns burrying their babies in the garden, and he sang in the choir. My non-Catholic husband sings in our church. I would absolutely love to have Britney sing in our church, and would show her acceptance and compassion in this trying time in her life.

37. Who in the world would want to listen to crazy britney try and sing?? The local Taco Bell turned her down to sing at their grand opening. Mel might want her to sing but she is so crazy he might be surprised at who showed up to sing. Might be her accent from England!!!! Mel would do much better to get a real singer that can sing and also a sane singer.

38. She cannot sing. My ass sings better than her after a night spluring on Taco Bell.

39. 19. Mel Gibson might have realized that there are laws against the exploitation of the gravely disabled. Something CBS needs to realize before they have a "gravely disabled" Britney Spears say things like "can we have sex and then go shopping" on national television.

Absolutely my same thoughts and everyone I talk to. She is mentally ill and this is just abominable for them to have her not only on the show, but speak those lines after what she has done and is going through and will be going through probably for the rest of her life. Any network that takes advantage of that should be shut down! No one I know is going to watch it or her or maybe any other shows on that network. It's one thing to want ratings, it's another to use a mentally ill person to do get them. I think this will back fire big time for them.

40. God Dang it! Look at her face! Thats what she really looks like without being airbrushed! I bet proactive would donate some products to her, what with her allowance limits and all she might not be able to afford it. Praise The Lord!

41. Mel's church is a "Traditionalist" Catholic church. Since Britney is divorced I doubt they would even let her past the front door, let alone in to sing!

43. You D-I-C-R-I-M-I-N-A-T-E against the Catholic church and block emails when people are trying to tell you so. You reak with P-R-E-J-U-D-I-C-E but yet accept any emails from people bashing Mel Gibson.

44. just reading these comments of you people writing, shows why this world is in the condition it is, Brittany has more to offer this world than you ever will....only God in heaven knows what she has been through....you just might try some treatment yourself....mental etc.....I just hope she gets back to her singing and being a Mommy to her little boys....God bless her and her family.

45. I expect TMZ to wipe out those spam ads like msg. #45 ("Work from home!"), but perhaps they left that one here in the hope that Britney herself might take a look at it. I'm sure she could use some extra cash now that she's on a $1,500/week allowance and has to stay at home a lot.

Of course, now that Britney has been named C.E.O. of the newly reorganized Bear Stearns, her income is going to be skyrocketing.

Oh, but now we hear that "there isn't an ounce of truth" to that Bear Stearns story.
