In an interview with Matt Lauer to air in Thursday night, Britney defends driving with her baby on her lap, saying that she often sat on her dad’s lap as a child while he was behind the wheel, and that the practice is “country”:

In this case “country” is code for “stupid,” which is sure to piss off non city-dwellers everywhere.

Britney also defends her marriage with the absent Kevin, saying it’s awesome that he’s not living in the basement:

It’s not true that Kevin’s living in the basement because he’s sleeping on a friend’s couch in an apartment in Studio City, California and hasn’t seen Britney in weeks. In her book that’s awesome because Kevin is even more “country” than she is and she’s afraid he’ll endanger Sean Preston if he comes back to smoke up the house again with his pals.

It’s sad that she thinks the paparrazi is the cause of her emotional state, but she should blame Kevin for that, not the hoards of photographers that follow her everywhere.
