You may have seen Mr. Stroughton before, because of course this gorgeous guy is an underwear model. He works with LA Models.

As for the "Womanizer" video, it reminded me a lot of "Toxic." Who can complain though? I'm just glad to see Britney is back (and she brough hottie model Brandon Stroughton with her!)

Welcome back Brit, and welcome to the spotlight Brandon!

This apparently is an item of some note in the tabloids. He had an affair with a teenager. He had what they called a "$3,000 a month online porn habit.

And Walters, who had recently come clean about her own affairs with a married congressman earlier in her career, demanded to know: "How often did you have sex and where?" And a follow up: "Why?"

Grim stuff. But on par with the show's kicker, a world premiere of Britney Spears new video "Womanizer," an event that barely had a news context at all. They just got the rights to it and wanted to show it.

And after all the pooh-poohing of Cook's habits, here was a naked Britney blurred by staammroom clouds becoming a boy toy in a series of disguises: brunette office coworker, redhead waitress (or exotic dancer, they both moved the same way), aggressive chauffeur. The various personas were meant to prove her man was living up to the song's title. But mostly they were meant to titillate home viewers, goose ratings and maybe save Cook some of his $3,000 with the free use.
