Britney Spears finally fires back<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A month after Maryland’s first lady apologized for saying she would shoot Britney Spears if she had the chance, a frosty response from the pop icon appears in a magazine to be distributed Friday.
\n“She probably needs to get laid,” Entertainment Weekly quotes Spears saying of Kendel Ehrlich, the wife of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a related item, Spears reveals how she keeps her cool<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In case anyone remains in the dark, she [Spears] reveals in the upcoming issue of People<\/i> that the song [“Touch of My Hand”] is an ode to, er, masturbation.
\n“I think if you say you don’t do it, you’re lying,” she says. “I think it’s a positive thing to indulge in yourself in a sexual way sometimes. I don’t do it all the time. It’s life. Guys can talk about it. Why can’t girls? It’s a positive thing.”
\nWaxing philosophical (or waxing something), Spears goes on:
\n“I think it’s positive for girls not to depend on guys. Being alone – I’m one to say! – you really start to figure out what makes you happy. And then you’re able to give more to other people … When you turn yourself on, that really is what turns the guy on. So just make yourself happy and let them just kind of follow up after you.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
