Britney and Kevin: Chaotic

Reviewed by:

Just when you thought the only way to catch the most intimate moments of Britney Spears' life was to marry her in an impromptu Vegas ceremony, the pop princess is ready to spill her darkest secrets in a six-episode reality series. As you probably guessed, there's plenty of midriff baring and "y'all"s and very little reality in Chaotic. What we get instead is a self-indulgent documentary of Britney's obsession with marriage, sex, her tour bus, and, last but probably least, Kevin Federline—all shot on a home video camera by Britney while in various states of undress. It's difficult to take Britney seriously when she questions her personal assistant, stylist, bodyguard, and other hangers-on about marriage, only to turn around and state with some degree of certitude: "I don't believe in marriage. I've been married, but that was a different story." Yet who are we to advise against sitting through a half-hour of gag-inducing PDA and frivolous chatter if it means getting a glimpse of the pop princess in her undies—even if she is further past her prime than Steven Tyler.
