Britney Spears’ Memoir Can’t be Published Because the US Doesn’t Have Enough Paper

How is this even real?

It just keeps getting dumber.

A shortage of paper has delayed the publication of Britney Spears’ memoir, celebrity gossip site TMZ reported on Saturday. After being released from her father’s conservatorship, Spears landed one of the largest book deals in history.

Spears recently wrapped up work on the book, but its anticipated January release date has been pushed back, said TMZ, citing “sources close to Britney.” These sources also claim there’s no indication when publisher Simon & Schuster will be able to get the book to print.

According to a report by Publishers Weekly in March, supply chain issues, inflation, and employee resignations at paper plants had driven the US’ printing capacity to “historic low levels,” with publishers at the time planning around delays of between six and 12 months.

Spears’ memoir has been in the works since February, when Simon & Schuster gave her $15 million for the book. The deal was agreed several months after a Los Angeles judge terminated a 13-year conservatorship agreement that had seen the singer’s father, Jamie Spears, control her finances, medical decisions, and much of her personal life.

I was actually going to read this.

I’m joking of course. The kind of people who are going to read this are apparently the kind of people who don’t have e-books. I’m not that kind of people, quite frankly.

But imagine – supply chain collapse leads to lack of paper in America as Nancy Pelosi threatens to personally invade Taiwan to demonstrate global dominance and superiority of American values and rules-based democracy.
