Nobody Back Home Is Laughing at Britney's Gag

KENTWOOD, La. — Folks in Britney Spears' hometown don't see the humor in the superstar's weekend wedding joke.
"I wish the improvement of our town got as much attention as Britney Spears' wedding," said Dylea White, a co-owner of The Hair Studio. (Good job BS!  )
Spears' 55-hour marriage to fellow Kentwood resident and childhood friend Jason Alexander has engulfed the town in an unwanted media frenzy and it has rekindled an old question: What's she done for Kentwood lately?
"It's embarrassing to have the worldwide media attention with the buildings in such rundown, decrepit conditions," said Tammy Shaffett, a co-owner of The Hair Studio on Avenue F, the main street that once had traffic and a movie theater.
The wedding had the makings of a great yarn. Alexander — a hulking former high school football player — and Spears, wearing a white baseball cap, midriff-bearing shirt and torn jeans, jumped in a limousine and got hitched at the Little White Wedding Chapel on the Strip at 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
Hours later, the 22-year-olds renounced their wedding by calling it a prank that went too far, and wrote the whole thing off with an annulment. Joke over.
But the stunt turned into an embarrassment for Kentwood — population 2,200 — as Alexander returned home to his family with a flock of reporters, television crews and paparazzi following.
Since getting home, the Southeastern Louisiana University junior was "kind of hibernating" and collecting his thoughts, said his father, Dennis Alexander.
