Usually because my Dad starts sharing his pearls of wisdom as Facebook status updates (I wish the whole world could be...

Britney Spears' newest music video has just dropped. The song is "I Wanna Go" and the video reflects the song's theme of wanting to break out and do what she wants, as well as her battling with photographers (who turn out to be Terminators?) and going on a road trip with a guy who likes milk (like, a lot).
