Today's column was written by Matt Webb Mitovich.BIGAMY FOR BRITNEY?

British TV personality Richard Bacon claims that he jokingly — yet legally — wed Britney Spears at the conclusion of a 2002 interview he did for the U.K.'s Channel 4, which would make the pregnant pop tart a bigamist. (A bodyguard allegedly ripped up the official certificate, which both Bacon and Spears had signed before a vicar.) A rep for Spears refutes the story, saying, "Sorry to break Richard's heart, but Britney Spears is legally married to Kevin Federline" — as tremendously sad as that still may seem.
