St. Petersburg, Fl. --- Greg Lee is a slave for Britney Spears. The revelation came as a complete shock to the Sports Journalism Class of 2010 - a group that's hung on the deputy assistant sports editor of The Boston Globe's every word since landing in St. Petersburg.
But that may no longer be the case. As the president of the Michael Jackson fan club, Lee may already be looking to take his administration over to Spears' supporting group. Driving five students back to the Hilton Hotel last night, Lee stunningly showcased this hidden affection and appreciation for Kevin Federline's ex-chick in his car by playing Spears' 2005 hit single "Toxic".
"I was shocked and in awe," said Tariq Lee, one of the stuents that overheard the music in Lee's car. "I said 'Aren't you from the 9th ward in New Orleans?' They don't play this nonsense down there."
But Greg didn't appear to be fazed by his passenger's outspoken attitude. In fact, he displayed more flamboyant behavior after Tariq's comments and continued to chant Spears' catch chorus.
"With a taste of a poison paradise," Greg Lee sang as he turned his car onto Third Street South. "I'm addicted to you. Don't you know that you're toxic."
The five students didn't know how to respond. Throughout the entire week, they grew accustomed to hearing the King of Pop's music coming from Lee's tracklist. Instead, the former MJ aficionado traded in his Billy Jean and P.Y.T. song collection for I'm A Slave 4 U and Womanizer.
"I would have never thought Greg would like Britney," Malik Smith said. "I was pretty shocked last night."
Lee's erratic behavior worsened once he started shifting his shoulders to the beat. Following that sequence, it didn't take too long for him to break out into a full-blown, one-man show dance party. Unfortunately, Lee's dance moves annihilated the swag of Shemar Woods, a student who sat in the passenger seat. Woods is day-to-day with a case of dented confidence.
Woods, however, was the only casualty - for now. It should be interesting to see how Lee's obsession with the former Mickey Mouse club princess unfolds over the next three days.
UPDATE ---- Ed Encina, a staff writer for the St. Petersburg Times and an SJI instructor, is also on the Spears bandwagon. According to an anonymous tip, Encina attended a Spears' concert with his fiancee nearly two years, as part of the Toxic tour. He apparently had "pretty good" seats and called the performance "hype". If Lee is the new president of the Britney Spears fan club, then Encina is the Joe Biden equivalent on his administration.
