Olympian Kristi Yamaguchi is ‘tickled pink’ to inspire a Barbie doll

October 30, 2007 - 6:51 am

LOS ANGELES (AP) — On her new CD, "Blackout," Britney Spears acknowledges that 2007 hasn't been a charmed year. "I'm Mrs. Bad Media Karma, another day another drama," the 25-year-old pop princess croons to a thumping dance groove on the song "Piece of Me."

"Another day, another debacle" might have been a more apropos lyric. In just a year's time, Spears has become the ultimate case study for the "When Celebs Go Bad" file. She's been an out-of-control party girl, landed in rehab, lost temporary custody of her two young sons, given a horrendous performance on live TV and gotten herself arrested.
