Britney blames Vegas for wedding fluff


AP - Britney Spears says the excitement of Las Vegas is partly to blame for her recent 55 hour marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander.

"I do believe in the sanctity of marriage, I totally do," Spears told MTV's Total Request Live in a telephone interview.

"(But) I was in Vegas, and it took over me."

Spears and Alexander, both 22, married at a 24 hour chapel early in the morning on January 3.

The wedding was annulled a little over two days later, but not before it made headlines around the world.

The pop superstar says she can't understand the fuss.

"We landed on Mars that day - why aren't they talking about that?" she asked, referring to the Mars Rover launched by NASA.

Spears said she and Alexander "hit it off completely," but when asked whether she had true feelings for him, she declined to answer.

"That's a personal question," she said, before changing the subject to promote her new video, Toxic.
