Please help this child

This news nugget just in from MSNBC.com:

Britney Spears has registered online with a high-end baby store in L.A. known as Petit Tresor. Among the gifts she would like to receive for her new baby's room is a $1,200 chandelier. Spears has already spent something like $30,000 at the store.

Oh, how I love following Britney Spears. I can't bear to listen to her talk, and the few minutes of "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic" confirmed all my worst opinions. But I love to read about her.

Should I register at my local camera store or my local pawn shop for a Nikon digital single-lens reflex camera and about a half dozen lenses I would like? No occasion. I just want someone to buy me something expensive, the way Britney does.
