In March 2002, Britney Spears almost burned down the New York apartment. "Brit had left a candle burning in front of an air vent [and gone shopping]," her mother, Lynne, recalled. "The wall caught on fire, and the fire department had to come to put it out... This is the second time this has happened. Brit left a candle burning in her bathroom in our Louisiana home [and] caught her bathroom on fire."
"Well," salon's Amy Reiter quipped, "we can only assume she had her reasons for lighting a match in there..."
["Last night," Conan O'Brien announced in August 2003. "Britney Spears appeared on the political show 'Crossfire' and told the interviewer that she watches CNN all the time. Not only that, Britney told the interviewer, 'My Favorite Veejay is Larry King.'"]
