One Degree of Separation

I've never tried to work out the six degrees of separation between Quentin Tarantino and Britney Spears but you just assume it's going to take a good few twists and turns to set up that chain of connections. That's not true as it turns out. All it takes is one strange degree of romantic separation.

Quentin has been spotted smooching up to Shar Jackson, the cruelly dumped girlfriend of Kevin "No Friend of Soap" Federline. The Fed is the missing link between trailer trash and literate film director. That's one hell of an evolutionary leap from Hit Me Baby to Kill Bill. And what ever happened to the Tarantino-Coppola romance?
