Sorry, Stephen King is better than a Britney Spears. If you want to use the musical analogy, I'd say he is a Michael Jackson in the horror genre - very talented and very popular. He really did a lot for popularizing the horror genre and some of the films based upon his books have been classics. Carrie, the shining, the green mile etc.

In all likelihood Salinger's estate will attempt to cash in on any manuscripts, for better or worse. I'll be reading whatever works are published and evaluating them on their merit, not hype.
