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."

24. That's bull. He admitted to getting over his head when he bought the house. It's not her fault, regardless of the attention she got.

30. I guess Eh's over spending didn't have anything to do with losing his house. I guess he had to blame someone other than himself. He made big bucks over the years, what happened to the money?????????????? Living above his means???
