I am one of those people who actually thought Britney and Kevin would make it. I mean, what's not to work: young, immature, rich too fast, talentless Louisiana small town girl, meets two timing, scum bag, cigarette smoking loser and fall madly in love for the entire world to see in their underwear on Hawaii's beaches. It's the stuff romance novels are made of.

But, I digress. Back to the point of the article. I believe that Britney, Paris, and Lindsay are uniquely positioned to be future world leaders and here's why:

1. THEY CAN HANDLE THE PRESS- All three girls have paparazzi as their best friends. Brit even dated one. These three know how to give the money shot, get the best cover, and smile for the camera in their worst moments. There's no need to worry about embarrassment leaving a diplomatic town car fully clothed when you've done it without your underwear even if you forget to close your legs upon exiting or stumble when you've had too much too drink. Briefing the news media on a new terrorist threat, Ebola outbreak, or just a peace accord is child's play once they've caught you smoking in the restroom or snorting at the dinner table.
2. THEY UNDERSTAND PRESSURE- The life that those three leads makes a world leaders job look like a day for a Four Seasons Bellman. Red carpet premieres, police escorts, having to show up on time for a movie set, posing for perfume ads, having to wear the same outfit twice in two years and missing the first offerings on Rodeo drive are all life changing events. They build stamina, perseverance, poise, and calmness for things down the road. A nuclear warhead off track would be a breakfast conversation for these women.
3. THEY KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH PEOPLE- First of all, they've had people around them for years they've had to work with: sycophants, hangers on, deadbeats, druggies, trust fund buddies, ass kissers, and anyone else who wants a piece of the money and a slice of the fame. Secondly, they can work with attorneys and housekeepers and treat those two professionals with equality and fairness. I actually see them in the future having a sort of Empowerment Summit for the Little People where plain old ordinary folks get to try on their clothes, jewelry, and shoes as well as ride in their cars. But just for a day of course. Little people start to get uppity when they have too much of a good thing.
4. THEY CAN EMPATHIZE WITH PRISONERS THE WORLD OVER- This is what makes this trio so fantastic when it comes to organizations like Amnesty International and the United Nations. I mean, these women have done hard time. Paris set the stage with her 23 day incarceration and was transformed by it. She has gone on to tone down her partying and almost went to Africa except it looked too poor and dirty even for her. The friends she made during her incarceration stay to remind her that everyone can fall from grace. Lindsay is no stranger to prison herself. Her 43 minutes in jail and the time in rehab will help her identify with Gulag like conditions for those around the world. Britney, well, Britney knows what it's like to be shipped off against your will to a world class psycho ward with Dad having the keys to your entire fortune. She learned in every way on every day she could get better and better if she would just stop drinking and doing drugs.
5. THEY WORK WELL WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT- Each of these three women has varying degrees of deep experience with security and law enforcement personnel as well as local authorities. Working with personal bodyguards, police and fire rescue professionals, and black and white's on a frequent basis will prepare them for a world where the War on Terror is more than just a just a movie.. I actually see them revamping the entire structure of Homeland Security so that in the event of say a bio-terror, or power grid failure, that all the A list folks are evacuated first. In the world after the end of the world there will still be a need for entertainment. We may lose our friends in those final moments but we always want to be able to watch "Friends".

There are only a couple changes that they will need to make to be able to adequately handle these future world leader positions:

First: Find a way to let your mind, morals, and mental abilities get ahead of your bodies. Sooner or later mind and body need to really work together or you end up on Intervention forever.

Second: Understand that your lack of talent is being subsidized by a fan club that has more money than options and who dream at night of being you. This is because the only difference between being drunk, bored and lonely in Delight, Arkansas and Hollywood is Wolfgang Puck's. When they have to start working and raising children of their own they will see you as the ungrateful, spoiled, narcissistic, ingrates that you really are.

Thirdly: Understand that fame is fleeting and that in just a few years when your butts are on the back of your knees and your breasts are waving like t-shirts on a clothesline, your cigarette/vodka smelling breath will only be welcomed at meetings or press conferences that start with the line: Hi, My name is _____and I'm a______.

Here's a thought: If you want people to watch you..give them something to see.
