What a delightful and amusing thread. I don't know about 'mum', except it's a British term for 'mother' and the American is 'mom'.
As a title it would be 'Mom Britney'. "We know about 'Sexy Britney', 'Crazy Britney', 'Lewd & Lascivious Britney', 'Mom Britney', 'Talented Singer Britney' ... ".
If the adjective is treated as a
title the article is not used. "Horrid Henry's Horrible History of England". It might be worth mentioning that if there's doubt about the
validity of the attribute, a subjective opinion, those adjectives might themselves take apostrophes.
I'm not sure how one would use inverted comma punctuation to mean 'so-called', or express the writer's sarcasm or disagreement, double or single. Would one write '"Talented Singer" Britney Spears, appeared last night in the first of her Las Vegas shows', or ""Talented" singer, Britney Spears appeared ... ". Maybe if one does that, the dubious attribute should be within single apostrophes within a quoted sentence.
He wrote that "the 'talented' singer made a successful debut in."
Perhaps this is a pointless or too complicated line of thought. I'd only be questioning
'talented', 'sexy', and 'mom' of the attributes I mentioned.
