Britney's Obituary Already Penned by AP - Just in Case

Frequently obituaries are pre-written by media, and kept on hand in case of a death. Usually those obituaries are written for people older, when you would expect there is a real chance of them dying. In this case, despite her youth, AP has admitted they already have an obituary written for Britney Spears.

AP Entertainment Editor Jesse Washington told US Magazine:
"I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now. Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."

She added that AP has a "pretty extensive obituary operation," and that staffers are "constantly adding people."

Well yes, as I said that's typical, but certainly not for someone of Spears' age. But then what about her is normal or typical?

On the other hand I wonder if they have one pre-written for Lindsay Lohan, too?
