New York – Her parenting skills have been scrutinized for months. Now Britney Spears has been voted the World’s Worst Celebrity Dog Owner for 2006.
The singer beat Paris Hilton, last year’s pick, and Serena Williams in a three-month online poll by readers of The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog magazines.
“Britney was the overwhelming choice,” said editor Hilary O’Hagan. “She once had three Chihuahuas (Lacy, Lucky and Bit-Bit) and never left home without at least one of them on her arm. As soon as she met K-Fed and had kids, they disappeared.”
In a September interview with TeenPeople.com, before his split with Spears, Kevin Federline said: “We gave all the dogs to friends of ours. It’s just too much with the kids and all these dogs running around all over the place. It just wasn’t really working.”
Oprah Winfrey was voted the World’s Best Celebrity Dog Owner for 2006 by the magazines’ readers. The host, a champion of animal shelters, owns five dogs, supposedly each with its own nanny.
