Bad boys, bad boys...

What cha gonna do?


Ummm date them probably.

The world breathed a collective sigh of relief last week as our Britney announced that she’s finally filing for divorce from wannabe rapper and reprobate, K-fed. Which got me to thinking – just what is it about Bad Boys that us Good Girls can't resist?



Now she may not be the sharpest singer on the box but surely even ol' Britters should have seen that No talent + Corn rows + (alleged) Bad personal hygiene x Pregnant girlfriend on the sidelines = a big NO GO. But go there she did.

And Kate Moss too. She could have anyone she wanted, yet she chooses to go out with Pete Doherty – a young man riding a merry-go-round of mayhem which includes an abundance of arrests, court cases, fist fights and a penchant for pharmaceuticals.

So what is it that draws us to the dark side? Well using Doherty as an example let’s do the math:

Rebellious rock star + little boy lost good looks x ability to wear skinny jeans = irresistible.


Basically the idea of a dalliance with danger combined with the thrill of attempting to tame them is too much for most of us to resist.


Should we be stronger? Should we stand firm and say ‘no I will never date a wrong un’? Well when the alternative is supposed Good Guys like Tom 'beam me up' Cruise I say a big ‘h*ll no’ – give me rotten rock stars and rappers every time. Because at the end of the day I'd much rather my fella was chucking sofas out of hotel windows than jumping on them.
