Criss Angel Only Using Britney Spears For Attention

It appears that the mindfreak, Criss Angel, is only hanging out with Britney Spears for all the media attention. And who’s surprised, exactly? Page Six calls him a “press whore” and says he was “ecstatic” when his manager, Jeff Kwatinetz, asked him to meet with Britney. The illusionist just signed a 10-year deal with the Luxor in Vegas for almost $10 million a year.

A source in Vegas said,

“He doesn’t even really talk to her when they go out. This weekend at [club] LAX, they weren’t seated at the same table, but when the paparazzi were around he jumped in all the pictures. . . . The paparazzi all have his number.”

Britney started hanging out with Criss supposedly to use one of his magic tricks at the VMAs, but that idea’s been scrapped. “She is just doing a straight-up performance of her new single, ‘Gimme More’.”

What others are saying:

Celeb Warship says, “Homeboy is reportedly using the train-wreck singer to gain more fame and attention for himself. Aww, but he seemed like such a nice boy, didnâ€™t he?”

The Superficial says, “So the secret to Criss Angelâ€™s magic is to latch on to celebrity train wrecks and bask in the free publicity. Got it. What camera-grabbing illusion will he pull off next? Grief counselor for Owen Wilson? AA sponsor for Lindsay Lohan? Or perhaps he might – no. Jesus, no. He wouldnâ€™t, would he? Dammit, his show is on A&E. He totally would. What if, for sheer publicity and in disregard of public safety, Criss Angel impregnated Paris Hilton?”
