Britney's Ironic Message to Ed

Posted Jun 23rd 2009 4:57PM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears -- who once placed second on "Star Search" -- just issued a sweet statement about Ed McMahon, saying "He is responsible for giving so many artists their first shot including myself."

Britney Spears Ed McMahon

Here's the ironic part. The insanity surrounding one Britney Spears may have contributed to the foreclosure of Ed's house.

Britney used to live around the corner from Ed in Bev Hills. Ed's house sat like a white elephant for several years, partly because of the mold problem but partly -- according to his realtor -- because of the paparazzi frenzy at Britney's pad. The realtor told us buyers were being scared away.

Eventually Ed's house went into foreclosure.

Britney called Ed "a wonderful man who will be greatly missed."

4. Really TMZ? It was only Britney's fault there was paparazzi? Or was it in part due to the gossip sites/mags that have those paps follow her? Nice pot calling the kettle black, huh....

7. let me see if I got this straight: YOUR slime ball photographers dog Ms. Spears relentlessly, hounding her and snapping photos every time she moves. They behave like a pack of rabid dogs in need of being muzzled and thereby disrupt any neighborhood in which Ms. Spears chooses to live. The disgraceful behavior of YOUR photogs therefore result in diminshed property values because they trash a neighborhood by behaving like vermin. And you blame Ms. Spears right?

Your photogs are sub -human scum and I doubt that you have the gonads to put this on your site.

8. Lets blame Britney for everything, shall we? Please. The house may not have sold because of the mold. Any half-wit would get an inspector to check out the premises before purchase.

9. With that logic TMZ is partly responsible for ED Mac.'s foreclosure. No your right it's Britney's fault. SARCASM.
R.I.P Ed.

11. RiP Ed McMahon. Always been a fan of The Johnny Carson Show. Celebs like Spears, Timberlake, Usher, Rosie O'Donnell, Drew Carey, among many others owe him mad respects for launching their careers via Star Search.

I never understood the spoke model competition. Has anyone launched their careers and become famous or infamous from that category?
