Britney Spears Bigamy Charge: Two Degrees of Richard Bacon?

British television presenter Richard Bacon claims he could be legally married to pop tart Britney Spears.  Britney is currently married to Kevin Federline, is eight months pregnant and the couple are expecting their first child.

A report in the UK Daily mail carries the 29-year old man's claims and reports it this way.

Bacon, 29, said that he legally wed Britney, who is expecting her first child with husband Kevin Federline, while interviewing her in a hotel room for Channel 4's The Big Breakfast.

He claims that the marriage could make Britney, whose marriage to her childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander lasted less than three days, a 'bigamist'.

Bacon, a DJ on 95.8 Capital FM, told listeners:

"It was the first time she'd told anyone she'd split with (Justin) Timberlake and I had a bit of plan, as I had hoped to get the admission out of her about the split. I had a vicar waiting round the corner with a real marriage certificate."

"I went down on one knee in front of her and said 'would you marry me?' and she said 'hey sure'.
"So I signaled to the vicar, the vicar walks in with the real marriage certificate.

"I sign it, she signs it... vicar pronounces us married.

"Obviously the interview concludes and the cameras pack up.

"I'm walking off with the marriage certificate down the corridor when this massive security guard comes hurtling after me, takes it out of my hand and tears it up as he realized what I'd done and that it was legally binding.

"You can't just get rid of it by tearing it up," Bacon said, "which means I actually could still be legally married to Britney Spears, which means her marriage to Kevin doesn't exist and that Britney Spears a bigamist."

Wow, looks like the 29-year old DJ really, really want some attention. 

The report says that a spokesman for the 23-year-old starlet scoffed at the claims. "Sorry to break Richard's heart, but Britney Spears is legally married to her husband Kevin Federline and is expecting their first child together very soon", he said.

I'm guessing that's accurate.  What is this supposed to be, the two degrees of Richard Bacon? 

Britney's rep gives the attention seeker some good advice, "I hope Richard is able to accept this and move on from what must be a confusing time for him."
