Here’s how to play. I’ll give you the name of a celebrity. You find the common link between that celebrity and Britney Spears. The link must be a person. It’s like 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon … but with less steps.

Only a few rules. You can’t use:

- a talk show host like Oprah or Letterman

- a news program like The Today Show or Canada AM

- a variety show like SNL

- an award show like the MTV VMAs or the Grammys.

The links must be related or have worked together.

Here’s an example from Friday.

Scarlett Johansson ————–> Justin Timberlake ————–> Britney Spears

Scarlett Johansson was in Justin Timberlake’s video for What Goes Around (Comes Around)

And, as everyone knows, Justin Timberlake dated Britney Spears (plus they starred together on The New Mickey Mouse Club in the mid nineties)
