As reported earlier for a Steel White Table exclusive, but also picked up by The J-Walk Associate News Service (JWANS), so I guess that means it wasn’t an exclusive, and we’re not really reporters, are we? Hmm… Anyway, remember that CBC.ca survey from a couple days ago that ended with this message?

Stop the presses: CBC’s website is reporting on their front page that Troubled singer Britney Spears to remain hospitalized:
Pop singer Britney Spears will remain in a Los Angeles hospital’s psychiatric ward for another two weeks, according to the Associated Press.
