Oh Baby Baby, How Were We Supposed To Know?

So we were taking our routine swing through BlogPulse this morning, sipping the overpriced, overcaffinated, oversweetened "coffee" we bloggers all drink (aka blog juice) when we noticed this name in our Key People database: Preston Michael Spears Federline. Intrigued, we clicked on it and almost shot blog juice through our nose. So it has finally arrived — the legal child of one Britney X. Spears and her shady, goop-covered backup dancer husband. Or, as Gawker calls it: "the Federletus." They're disappointed Brit & Kev aren't naming the boy that, but think they understand the logic: "Because names like Preston help to gloss over the hard reality of a baby born wearing a wifebeater." Not to be outdone by its East Coast cousin, Defamer laments the FederSpearses didn't try to option the kid's naming rights: "Too bad, Johnnie Walker Black presents Baby Boy Spears Federline would’ve been too precious!" Quite. But lost in all this catty sniping is a more basic question about the once-ubiquitous blonde entertainer: Does this finally make her a woman?
