By youngest do you mean at this date 1/23/00? Because I would have to think that
Christine Ricci and Sara Gilbert were younger than 18 when they lent their voices
way back when.

You did not specify that at all. You just said guest star. Sara Gilbert and Christina
Ricci qualify as guest stars just as much. Besides, the character designs for the
original characters looked more like the actresses than the "character" of Britney
Spears looked like Britney Spears. That character looked more like Baby Spice.

Review
After a laugh-out-loud first act & a joke-filled second act, the episode waned
down in the third.. The ending wasn't that great, but overall this was the
funniest episode since the Tomacco one, and Lenny just keeps making me laugh
even more! 9/10 (A)

>...Burns is younger than 108?
Not definitely. In synergy with the home movies in "Rosebud", he could have
been born in a poor part of Springfield (pre-industrialization Bumtown?) and
then been adopted into a wealthy neighborhood.

They probably did that because someone who sucks as bad as Spears could even be
nominated for a grammy.
