Hockey Team Wants to Set Spears Straight

She didn't find much solace in Antigua, and couldn't get comfy in the confines of a Malibu rehab center, but some folks in upstate New York think they have just the ticket to straightening out Britney Spears' life -- namely a weekend in Syracuse.

In what certainly strikes us as a 21st-century update of that old Scared Straight program -- where prison lifers tired "tough love" to jolt teen thug wannabes -- the owners of the Syracuse Crunch minor league hockey team want the pop princess to jet into their metropolis for a stay. Team president Howard Dolgon showed his altruistic side by issuing a statement saying "The team and community want to provide Britney Spears with a stress free environment and the chance to experience a high level of hockey" -- the latter of which is probably very important to Spears, who grew up in the hockey hotbed of Kentwood, Louisiana. Dolgon and his staff are sweetening the deal by offering to surround her with kindred spirits -- by promising free tickets to an upcoming game against the Manitoba Moose to any woman willing to show up with a shaved head.

Sounds like perfect way to top off a dream date with Me'Shell NdegéOcello to us.
