Why not give Britney a break?
Why is this poor girl making so many headlines? I just can't believe that every little thing she is doing can be something everybody else find interesting. But maybe she is not exactly in control of the journalists and paparazzis. Anyway, I just think it would be better for her and for everybody else if she was just left alone. But that's probably too much to ask

Brittany
Hello and nice to meet you
I feel bad for Brittany. Peopl take apart everything she does no wonder she acts out at times.
it's the price you pay
for fame....i think everyone hounds her because the "poor" girl is a trainwreck. there are plenty of young female celebs out there that have a good head on their shoulders, keep to themselves and therefore don't make any headlines as they aren't making asses of themselves. as for the celebs, like brit, that can't keep their wits about them i really don't feel the least bit of pity....it is the price you pay for fame....you trade anonymity and privacy for a life of VIP's and luxury. they know that entering the game....

Britney broke on the scene
Britney broke on the scene begging to be thought of as the vapid girl wearing very little clothing, who danced suggestively while singing that she's "not that innocent". That is how Britney defined success, and by god, she's got it. And honestly, I hope it continues for a good long time. When my kids tell me someday that they want to be famous, I can hold Britney Spears and her ilk up as cautionary tales.

Brittany has created her own pittfalls here
She and only she is solely responsible for the havoc going on in her life right now.
She is so out of control it's not even funny. Honestly I dont think anyone really takes her seriously anymore, they just laugh at the ass she makes of herself.
Your not going to tell me that she really thinks it's ok to be a mom and spend most of her time clubbing and hanging out with friends. To wear skirts so short and not have underwear on , and then to get out of a vehicle with paparazzi all around and expose herself the way she did. That is no accident. Shaving her head? The photo shoot that she ran out of half way thru and in the clothes she was modeling. I mean, the list goes on and on. Her attention should be on nothing more than those two little boys she has and the custody battle that is going to be easily won by her ex because she is so out of it. I do honestly feel sorry for her, but only in the way that I think she needs some professional help to deal with whatever it is that makes her do what she does. She should never have gotten on that stage to perform at the VMA's the other night. She is not ready for this, and it deffinatley showed. It was a horrible performance. She is out of shape, was not dancing in my opinion, just clogging around and lip syncing, which she didn't even keep up, she seemed to have forgotten her own words. It was really sad to see. They say she was visibly upset about her performance and how she looked after she got back to her dressing room, crying and just upset. If she doesn't get some help, I really cant help but think she will go down an even darker road that may put her six feet under.
I hear ya, Ammorton, but,...
it's kind of like kicking a puppy for urinating on the rug after you've whacked it the other 8 times at this point. The girl needs either some rest or some help or a nanny; we all agree on that. Yes, she's an adult, and many choices she's making right now are kind of tough. But, though I almost hate to say this, I almost agree with Kayne West that she was set up by MTV to fail and make their show a hit, and judging on the 23% increase in ratings from last year, it seems to have worked. Irresponsibility sometimes goes both ways; we won't allow fighters who aren't approved by the doctors to box, and this probably should have been stopped before it ever began.
Reviews of Everything, reviews and opinions of, well, almost anything!
You are absolutely right Catfish
MTV did this purposefully , knowing that this was going to be a ratings grabber, and like you said, it was. It is like she was set up, however, they wouldn't have made her a target for this if she already hadn't screwed so much of her life up so far and press had already stated that she was going to make a comeback...which just opened the door for MTV to say "hey.... I've got an idea".
She should have turned down the appearance, plain and simple.
I'll give you that, Ammorton,..
she should have turned it down. However, that would have been reported also, and she's been looking for ways to try to get more positive publicity. That, plus she probably really thought she could do it; I've been there myself, thinking I can do things that, because of age and physical condition, I really can't. Didn't stop me from trying, though, unless my wife was there to stop me. lol

Well, to be honest, it's not
Well, to be honest, it's not like MTV has ever been a moral compass before. To me, it's like yelling at the whore but praising the pimp.
Visit my site!!
Well, hey, ya'll. You can't blame MTV for trying to boost
their ratings. If Britney had learned the routine and rehearsed it - practiced the song - behaved reasonably and worn the costume that was chosen for her she might have been a huge hit. This could have been a real coup for her. Instead, she stepped on her own tail by staying out partying half the night before, showing up 4 hours late for rehearsal - drunk, refusing to wear the costume that was chosen to help take the emphasis off her belly and throwing out the hairstylist that was trying to do her hair. That's not MTV's fault.
You just can't help looking at car wrecks, train wrecks and
Britney Spears' outrageous behavior. And you can't tell me she doesn't like it that way. Anyone who was supposedly "inconsolable" over the way she looked on stage at the VMAs who will immediately go out in public panti-less in a mini-skirt and let herself be photographed climbing into the back of a car - again - is obviously asking for the kind of publicity she's getting.
She reportedly makes almost $800,000 a year - a month - whatever - just from her previous work.... she hasn't done anything new in how many years? All this nasty publicity must be doing something for her.
Don't cry 'Poor, Britney' to me. She's making out like a bandit.
Britney
The only problem I see with Britney is that she was wearing too many clothes and shes not getting wild around me.
What I think is funny, PW,...
is how women are really ready to beat up on her, whereas men are ready to try to give her somewhat of a break. Except as it pertains to her weight; that's where women, especially those who have children, give her a break.
Reviews of Everything, reviews and opinions of, well, almost anything!
I've given up beating up on Britney. Really I have.
She does such a good job of it herself. I have to agree with ModelMom, she gives women a very bad name. She's a terrible role model and a dangerous one.
I also have to agree with The Geminian, it's the people who stand in line to buy the magazines and watch the TV shows and read the Internet stories about her that are the real problem. How much do you want to bet that if everyone in the world stopped paying attention to Britney's bad behavior she'd clean up her act in no time flat. As long as she's getting all this attention there's no incentive for her to act responsibly.
It's her life and she can do what she wants with it - no skin off my back. I just worry about the example she's setting for young, impressionable girls.
And as for her weight, no, she is not fat. She's not the toned, perfect little body she once was. LOL! Who is? But she was damned sure too fat to wear those sparkly little undies she wore at the VMAs. Whew! That was bad!
women vs britney
i think a lot of us are quick to "beat" her up because we work damned hard to be good and responsible mothers, wives, daughters, etc, and "women" like her are a disgrace to the female of the species.

Pathetic Americans
The fact that our society is pining on everything that 20 somethings do says what a pitiful society we are. When Britney cutting her hair trumps all ther news on all networks it says how ass backwards we have become. Britney is still just a little mousketeer. Britney lives in a society where values and morals are ou the window. Britney is not the trainwreck, we are. I think she is beautifull, talented, and trapped in a non reality created by the media. Britney is what you want, britney is who you hate, who makes you hate yourself, so you hate her.
Because you need her, you have hundreds of people following her every move so you can see her pick her nose, pull her underwear out of her butt and make any move that can be misconstrued for news content.
I look at Britney as a female singer, nothing more. I expect her to sing and dance. I don't care what else he does. There is no requirement for anyone anywhere to wear panties or underwear. I don't know how many women I have caught without panties, but it was never news. I don't care who she is dating, what she thinks of global warming, or what she does when she is not singing and dancing. It is the sick twisted people at home watching who want to see her fall. What are you Jews? You love weakness? Want to celebrate Patheticness? Want your heroes to fall? Is this what you enjoy? Do you feel better about your pathetic miserable selves when you see Britney lip sync badly?
Britney is elevating to a higher plateau than Madonna. Eventually she will realize this power she has amassed and make all your daughters whores just like Madonna did.

And yet,...
you deigned to denigrate yourself and jump in with the rest of us to make a comment on it. You don't see the dichotomy of hypocrisy here?

Just what I mean, as long as you point to someone else, then you block your own sight and fail to examine or change yourself. That is propagating weakness, yours.
I CAN throw the first stone, as I walk the line, and it is lonely.
I make comment for the greater good, because I want things to change, get better, because I believe it can get better, there is no dichotomy in that Einstein. Religion denigrates all.
I do not denigrate myself by asking for change or raising awareness, there is no hipocracy here. I have honor, I have integrity, I help anyone I can, I intervene when somone is on the path of oblivion. I desire good for all, {I bet you wish I would fall right now huh jew?} I have given away half of everything I own to a perfect stranger because I could not live with myself if I did not. I cannot "have" if you "have not," but I bet you could and do.
I see all of you old people in your 100,00 dollar RV's while your kids are eating ramen on crack. Your penance will be the end of your line. All of you men who pay our daughters for depraved sex acts or molest our sons. I see you business owners who screw another american by hiring an illegal alien. I see all of you and all of you wickedness and I want change
I am not entertained by someone else's mistep, I am hurt, because they are me, and I am them. Britney is me, bush is me, Osama is me, and you are them too, this hurts me.
Yin or yang, you are part of it all.
Will you still attack me or will you now stop worrying about Britney and worry about expelling your own weakness.

"What are you Jews?"
I'm sorry, just what does that mean? Are you saying that Jews love weakness and patheticness and want to see their heros fall? That seems to be what you are saying.
I had thought better of you, Geminian.
Pussy Willow, I am angry
I am simply stating that Judasim promotes weakness and celebrates patheticness. Christianity and Islam, which is just Judasim 2.0, are the same. "The meek shall inherit the earth," well they did. Now, our society is promoting homosexuality, promescuity, immoral behavior, and still promoting weakness and persecuting strength.
Where is the honor here in America? Where is the brotherhood?
Everyone here is selfish, greedy and plenty ready to help guide you into destruction. Humanity is the only place weakness thrives in the universe. This is because of the Judeo Christian school of thought.
You are born a sinner? That's real nice, make sure they think they are refuse straight away from birth. Sorry, but when you were born the newest hope for the world was born and your value is as high as anything, your abilities unstoppable, yet you are rendered impotent by these philosophies.
Is Jesus not epitome of pathetic weakness nailed to that cross?
I know this all may sound Nazi, but that is not it all, I am talking about the way people go from these innocent children to these cutthroat, selfish, backstepping, money worshiping whores. I am angry that there is no honor, no integrety, no unity, no morality. That girls have "gone wild," and sex is a product for marketing and sale even to children. I am disgusted by the focus and direction of today's people, everyone wants to be "rich." Tell me how, if we were still hunting and gathering, we could hunt and gather to the level of Bill Gates or Donald Trump? We could not even if gathered berries all day and killed wildebeasts all night. Rich is unatural, a crime against your fellowman, or taking from the next generation and is only achieved by depleteing someone else's resources elsewhere in mass quantities, or from selling nothing like insurance or counseling. (this is the eqivilant of selling air.) I want honor, I want strength, the strength to be moral in the face of immorality, I want unity, commonality, culture that cultivates love, family amd honor not money, immorality, depravity and weakness.
I want your respect Pussy Willow, I really do, but I want these things more.

my daughter wont become a "whore"
just as i didn't. My mother never allowed me to watch, listen to , imitate, etc. Madonna who was "it" when i was a kid. I was taught morals and values by my parents and will do the same with my children. Too many parents in this country allow their underaged kids to buy Britney et. al.'s offal, clothe them like her, etc. and it is disgusting. None of that crap will enter my household and if given to my kids as presents will be gently declined. Control freak? Maybe. I know my mother was but I turned out very well because of it. As for peer pressure...I respected what my parents and relatives had to say and what they would think of me too much to succumb to that. So no, Brit and any other little poppets that follow her footsteps won't be turning my daughter into a whore. Thank you.
As for criticisms of her...well, even if you dont read the gossip rags or watch entertainment TV it is hard NOT to hear or read about her failures in life. They are splashed across the media more than the war in Iraq or anything else. You turn on the TV and there it is. Pathetic? Yes. But it is what it is. And as it is revolting and vulgar we comment on it. Just as we comment on how revolting George W is. Freak shows have existed for centuries....this is today's version of one.
And as for Brit being a "Singer"....ahem....well, PT Barnum said it best "There is a sucker born every minute." Our society will buy any prepackaged excrement and call it "music" or "singing". Studios use programs like ProTools to turn just about anyone with the right look, connection or casting couch willingness into singers even if they are better off keeping their vibrattos in the confines of their showers.

Hey Everyone
I haven't been on here in a while, but my take on Brittany is that she rose to stardome at a very young age. The business she's in has everything to do with her clothing and the dance routines. That is what this business is about.
She can move, and I tell ya to dance like that, I would love to learn how to dance so well. She's amazing. I understand that certain clothing is not age appropriate for all. I also understand that a person can wear a sexy outfit and have boundaries and not be a whore.
Or turn into one with the proper boundaries and guidance from their parents as well.
Brittany, to me, since I saw her sing on New Years Eve many years ago has gotten enticed by the life style, while not said specifically, I don't believe she's a whore, she's a 25 year old young lady enticed and sucked into everything that is in the music business.
Now, as to her recent relationship and the kids I think she needs to take some time off to heal her broken heart. Federline was able to mooch off her and travel with her and I believe that she fell for him due to his undivided attention. She travels, she's single, she was lonely and look at this! Someone who will stay with her. Who, to me, was a loser from the start ... but the heart has no intelligence in these matters. All she saw, in her busy running around life was a person who stayed with her.
She wanted to be in love. When it didn't work out, she was heartbroken and yes, she has made quite the number of mistakes in trying to bury that pain that she has. Alot of people walk around doing this, they drink, they go out to forget, they lose it. So did she... the only difference is that she's in the spotlight... and people are making money off of her as well by popping her pictures and selling them to the tabloids. Frankly, I hate the tabloids.
I like 'er. It's not about her money, it's not about what the industry commanded of her to keep her in the spotlight with the clothes etc.,
I feel, that what she really needs to do, is to take a break... go get some of the help she needs, ask herself what her priorities are and talk to other people in the industry who have children so she can take on the role she chose.
Imagine the emotional ramifications of having two children with this guy, the marriage and relationship breaking up, and being in the public eye? People who are not in the public eye do stupid things all the time. Except we don't see it coming because there isn't a camera to memorialize it.
So, she tries to go back in the world, like most young single mothers WOULD ... cept, the world is watching, she can't go out like she used to, she isn't used to her role as a parent and a superstar at the same time or everything else that's gone on.
To me, she's not unlike anyone else... she's young, she made a mistake, she's messed up and done some things she shouldn't have. She chose what she did, this much is true. But how many of any of us here, have always known the right thing to do, at the exact moment the situation hit us? Seriously?
At what juncture, do I, or anyone else have the right to pick at this young woman? When we've all made our share of mistakes... sure we can spew out all the stuff we want to about what she should be doing but it took us a while to learn things in our own lives.
Wouldn't it be fair to allow her to fall, let her get back on her feet, and cut her some slack?
And I think before people judge her, they need to walk a mile in her mocasins. She's a human being for christs sake. She's a young girl, who is not sure what to do, to fix what has gone on... and everyone is watching her on top of that!
No, that's not any additional pressure to an already emotionally bad situation. Not at all...
I say, let the girl take a break. Let her work it out. In a year everyone will have forgotten all about this and be chewing on someone else.
I mean, really.
once again...dont believe what the media sells you
first of all, there are many young women out there who are celebs and have been so from a very young age & have not acted out like britney has. fame and fortune do not replace a good head on your shoulders. fame and fortune also dont erase the fact that a person can be vulgar and trashy as well as irresponsible. i have hobnobbed with many celebs in my day and have seen this in person, the good the bad and the ugly.
also...the media, agents & managers like to dupe us all on how young these "kids" are. brit is no more 25 than i am 15. i have known one too celebs and people in the know who have either sent out or been invited to a celebs "21st" b-day three years in a row.....interesting, eh?
thank god for girls like mandy moore who started out young but have remained relatively wholesome and intelligent. she is living proof that you dont have to be a skank to become famous.

All People Do Not Handle Things The Same
There may be many young lady's out there doing thing better, but there are many that don't. Lindsy Lohan's made her share, Drew Barrymore, Nicole Richie, to name a few.
They needed some kind of guidance and support. They really did. If they had some kind of support, which Mandy Moore may have had, then this would have made all the difference.
People still make mistakes, and need to learn how to handle these things. And someone has to teach them. Never mind the lifestyle and the peer pressures they go through.
I've hobnobbed a bit myself, and I've seen some good and bad as well. I'm going to stick to my original thought process that people are being too rough on this young lady. They "all" could use some help. And the more they are in the spotlight the less able they're going to be able to deal with everything. All people are not created equal, nor do they have the proper support systems around them.
As for the managers and the like, they're making money off of these young women. Knowing that Brittany was in the state she was at the MTV Awards (I think that's the last big thing I read recently) They should have done something about that. But, everyone's getting their cut. And when these people fall from stardome they'll work on the next new thing.
Drew Barrymore made a big mess of things and she came out of it with shinning colors. What I'm saying is that, people need to give them a break. Not judge as harshly as they do.
Oh, sorry... I forgot about the media
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany_Spears
Brittany is 26, I was mistaken when I initially wrote that. Here's a link above directly related to her.
Sure, as to your subject line up here, believe me, I don't buy into everything the media tells me and this is also an additional reason why I think the media needs to leave her alone, so that others can't rip the girl up.
What I'm saying, is that I don't know a single person on earth who hasn't made mistakes, and people have to consider this instead of judging so harshly ...
LOL :) I'm sorry I forgot something else!
I do see what you're saying about how they make everything these days about sex and have sexy moves etc., every where. But, you know the thing is, we have so many talented people ... that I think, it's up to us, the parents to teach that it's a costume and not the norm of every day dress.
As it pertains to Brittany, I remember when she was younger and then they had her branch out and get more sexy costumes and routines. Beyonce, Christina Agulera, who else? (lots, as you know) but it doesn't mean that they're "all" whores or walking around doing stupid things.
This is what I'm saying. In the link above here, there's a bio of Brittany and all the nonsense she's been going through. I'd bet others going through it, w/the proper support systems would have come out differently.
I'd like to see her get the help she needs... not continue to see tabliods ripping her to shreds because they're making money off her.
Sorry.
I am not going to buy the excuse that it's just a costume. To the women who dance in windows in Amsterdam (prostitutes), it's just a costume. And when a dominatrix puts on her leather, it's just a costume. And yet, to these people, it's also their normal, everyday clothing. But if my children try and dress that way, even for Halloween, I'm going to have a fit.
To be quite honest, Christina Aguilera seems to personally have it together. But I won't support her either, because she's just as trashy as the rest of them. Congrats to her for not staying out all night partying. Now stop gyrating and I'll be able to make an evaluation whether you have any actual singing ability or not. And it's not only the girls. Justin Timberlake is just as loathsome to me.
Finally, for every action, there most definitely is an equal and opposite reaction. We pushed and Britney fell. Stop buying the tabloids and they'll stop writing them. Stop forwarding YouTube videos of Britney and the rest of them, and people will stop uploading them. Britney will keep getting out of a car without panties as long as there's someone there to take a pic. There will be someone there to take a pic as long as that pic sells for millions of dollars. And that pic will stop selling for millions of dollars when people stop buying the tabloids and watching "Entertainment" Tonight.

Just gotta say this, Intricate,...
but if you need Christina Aguilera to dress better or stand still for you to tell that she can really sing, then that would make you a pretty bad evaluator of talent, for sure. :-) This girl can sing, whether she's wearing something or not; voice will never be in question by anyone except people who don't like pretty young girls.
Reviews of Everything, reviews and opinions of, well, almost anything!
I'm sure you're right. And
I'm sure you're right. And the times I've heard her without seeing her, she certainly can sing. So why the gimmick? She is a singer. I mean, plain and simple, that's her job description. So if she can actually sing, what's the point of the nonsense?
As far as "pretty young things" that has nothing to do with it. There's plenty of beautiful women that can sing without wearing assless chaps.
Visit my site!!
I agree with Catfish
Christina Aguilera has always had more talent than Brittany ever will. Her voice is magnificent on so many levels and she has always been able to dance a hell of alot better than Brittany. Yea, Christina went thru one little stint of dressing slutty especially with the couple of videos from the "Stripped" cd. Not only is that her best cd in my opinion, but you havn't seen her dress like that since. She is so classy now with all the vintage clothes and acts like an adult, getting ready to have a baby, and I believe is on the right track. Brittany just keeps f****** up left and right.
Sure Prostitutes vs. singers
Uhm... prostitutes and singers in the same catagory? How'd that happen? That's a thought process for an entirely different thread. Although I do see the connection with the costumes but only to a point.
Oh hell yes! I agree with you, my daughter's not walking out of the house dressed like a singer. Matter of fact, it's interesting, we had a show on TV today, and the clothing topic came up. I said those are costumes they wear for a specific dance routine. It was a show on the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and how they recruit for the squad. I have to say, those ladies can MOVE ... I love dancing. Now, are they less than as cheerleaders w/a skimpy outfit or does the world accept a cheerleading outfit moreso than, say something from a dance video?
Video's promote, well... yah, sex and fantasy IMHO ... they're sexy as hell. I enjoy them but I don't think they are age appropriate for kids. Although, at the same time, it's also up to me to see what she's watching, what she's doing and point out all the differences as to what's acceptable and at what age.
Has anyone seen the movie Honey? Man I love that movie... anyway, Jessica Alba plays this video choreographer and the producer hits on her at a party. She slapped that boy silly. I thought that was an excellent show of how people confuse the job with what they can get away with. And that girl can move! Man! She's talented.
I don't care for tabloids myself ... they make me sick really. I mean if Brittany had gone out and had too much to drink (tell me someone whose never had an embarrasing moment in their life?) and just been out like a regular person, none of us would have ever know it. I think it's a shame that there are those around her pushing her, mentally, emotionally etc., to do things she can't handle. That she can't visibly handle right now.
I watched the video and I told a friend of mine she'd been drinking. That's what I saw, and I felt bad for her.
My take is that ... people need to pay attention to themselves and their own lives first. Before tossing stones about things they're not truly 100% in the mix about insofar as the truth. The truth is subject to speculation at all times, unless we're able to sit down with the source of whomever is on parade in the tabloids that day, it's all heresay.
I'm a huge fan of dancing. I love it, there are so many talented people out there. I respect that they push the ticket with a lot of it and it can send pretty bad messages to young women and young men. I think too that we, as the parents need to point out what's acceptable behavior and what isn't. Then pray it sticks w/all the peer pressures out there and the lure of all it can bring.
OH! Another thought to toss into the pot
After I hit post I remembered Demi Moore who did that movie, what was it? Strip tease ? and then there was also the actress... She was in the original Friday the 13th movie. What was her name? She also did a striptease for her husband Arnold Schwartzenager in another movie.
Did it make either of these women whores? Or were they playing a role. See, this is how I view the things they do in music video's. It's a role they play. It doesn't have to extend to who they are in their personal life as an individual. I'm not saying that there aren't certain ramifications or things that can come with it. Not at all... yet I am saying that it adds to the mix of how these things can be viewed.
Someone has to know what her name is LOL I so can't think of... OH Jamie Lee Curtis! That's it! I don't remember the name of the movie though.
I'd really like to see Brittany get some guidance from someone whose been down her road. I mean she really could use some help, not everyone shredding her every move.
I have to say, I hated that federline guy from the minute I saw them in the tabloids and I thought to myself... he's leaving one woman w/two kids for Brittany (while the 1st woman is pregnant with their second child) and yah, Brittany knew the deal with that (one would assume) but I thought to myself, man she's not going to see that train coming.
He is what he is. She wanted love, she thought she had it, and now she needs to heal. And I hope that people lay off the girl long enough for her to be able to do this.
I agree with you Babette0128 on Federline
He is nothing but a moocher and always rode Brittany's coattails. But she isn't helping herself out on this custody battle with him by behaving this way. Yes she needs a whole lot of guidance, but seems like she has been given how many opportunity's to get this and she just ends up blowing it all off and repeating this cycle all over again. She is going to lose these kids to him if she isn't carefull. It will never matter who reads the tabs or listens to the entertainment shows, certain people are always in the media, and my opinion to this is those certain people like it that way.
Yah, moocher does come to mind
I agree with you. She's quite the lost puppy.
Remove the stardome for a moment. Separate the issues here. For a moment, because combined they wreak havoc.
What you have left is a young girl who recently went through a loss of a loved one, then she filed for divorce. Both are losses and take time to get over. Some drink to deal with it. Others shut down, don't know what to do. Yet others have a support system to help them with the greiving process.
She is also now a single parent. Who is also a star.
Her role as a parent, was not thought through. Speculation of course. Stars have kids all the time, but these two went from 0-60 in a heartbeat. 2 children, in 2 years. The post partum depression to add to the mix of everything else.
Add the pressures of the media.
The pressures of the job. All these things, at the same time, whacking a person in the face.
I think you nailed it ammorton. It could very well be a cycle. Sometimes, people do things because they don't know any other way to cope with them. They drink or party.
A young single woman, newly divorced will often times go out like she used to before having kids. Try to date, party and to forget what's going on, in order to replace all that she's lost in her heart. This never works out too well, simply because she's seeking to replace what was lost... her dreams, her future, the thought that she'd found the right guy and then he wasn't. She is not so different than other heart broken women.
Add the other factors, all equals a huge tumultuous mess of emotions that she doesn't know what to do with. And those around her, aren't helping. I'm not sure what she's being fed by her managers or those putting her up on stage when she's obviously not ready.
Her shaving her head? That was when she had enough... she is a sad, 26 year old young lady ... whose greiving many things in her life right now and not only is she going through all of that, and not handling it all that well ... but she's got the whole world up her behind while she does it.
Perhaps due to her age, she doesn't realize that she can say STOP ! I need time, I need space! GET OFF ME AND OUT OF MY LIFE!
Perhaps there is a great fear that if she takes a break that she'll lose everything. What she's not seeing, speculation on my part, is that she'll hit bottom pushing like she is or allowing herself to be pushed.
I agree, she does need to straighten herself out. I don't think she was ever prepared for what has been happening.
People lie to themselves all the time when the heart has unfilled needs ... it's lonely and I don't know about you all here, but I've worn blinders a few times in my life. Now, I didn't have that much support and I was fortunate to be able to take certain brakes and things... but I wish in the times where it was the most difficult that ... while my friends were okay, they did the best ... that I'd had a peer or someone that I could go to and trust to advise me, to help me.
Did I turn okay? Well... yah :) okay is what it is. If we look past all the dumb things, and on this I don't disagree, she's making some uber mistakes... there's just a small girl under there, lost and hopeless and heartbroken... and she doesn't know where to start first.
I don't know... paparazzi are all over the place. Look at Lady Diana ... those ding bats hounded her and to me, caused her death. Do they really want to be in the spot light "this much" ... or would it be more that certain things, which to me are undenyably put out there for publicity ... are acceptable while the rest of this gossip and nonsense is not.
I mean, Look at these ying yangs flying around in helicopters trying to get pictures of a wedding for goodness sakes. That's just ridiculous. Massively intrusive.
But, whose shoulders does this rest on? People? Because they buy it? There's a demand for it? What's the lure of all that stuff anyway?
I get the publicity end, I hate the invasion of ones personal privacy like we're seeing here. Yes, yes... I think she would be better served to stay in for a while until she sorts herself out... definitely.
I'm not a fan of bad behaviors, I also can't look at her and not see a confused hurt human being.
upbringing has something to do with it as well
I remember when Britney was just getting started and she was like 15 or something. Our local radio station talked about how she came to their studio dressed in short shorts and a low cut blouse, bending over and such. And she was WITH HER MOM. Scary stuff...

I hear ya ...
This brings my mind back to Brooke Sheilds and her mom allowing her to do the movie the Blue Lagoon when she was 12/13 yrs., old.
I understand that people, all people, have a perception as to certain clothing and that the industry wants to attract attention. I tell ya... I don't know that I would appreciate some one telling me that my younger underage daughter needs to dress a particular way.
I know and appreciate dance outfits and things like that ... see, now if I could dance like that and do a video :) heh... yah, I think that would be cool. Just once ya know? And I'd wear a hot little number. But I'm an adult. I can do what I want LOL ... my daughter? Oh boy... I just don't know. Because she's 10 and she can dance ... and uh...yah, the's going to have some boundaries instilled in her that's for sure.
s'like, just cuz I can move like this hone (when she's older) doesn't mean you can be in my space. I teach her these things now... in an age appropriate manner anyway.
Remember Brooke Sheilds?
Brooke turned out okay but her mom had her do the movie... oh, I can't think of it!
I know the song attached to it is Endless Love, was that the name. OH! Blue Lagoon wasn't it? I "think" there was a big uproar about that movie back then, I don't truly remember.
She was 12 when she made that movie, I don't think that I'd let my daughter at 12 do that movie. But, she did turn out okay as an adult ... at least it appears to be so. :)
Kids are exposed to so much today, that I think it's important to point out what is a costume designed for a show. What's appropriate for different venue's. They are going to pick this stuff up whether we want them to or not.
I had a tough time with the lyrics of a lot of songs. So I would tell my daughter not to listen because there are just some things a 10 year old shouldn't be singing about. BUT what that accomplished was her just listening to them at school w/her friends. So, I acheived nothing but having her hide the fact that she was listening to them, which hindered my ability as a parent to tell her appropriate from inappropriate because she wouldn't tell me. She'd hear it and not mention it.
So ... I'd rather have her tell me what she hears so I can talk to her about it. It is scarey stuff, but it, to me goes hand in hand w/guidance from us.
the movie your thinking of Babette0128
was called "Pretty Baby" and yes there was alot of controversy about her doing this movie at her age because it dealt with prostitution and she played a young girl in a brothel and was put to work so to speak.
Really? Pretty Baby?
No way! I've never even heard of this movie! Oh no way ... wow.
Okay, well then, uh... she turned out okay I think... we hope LOL
Wait, my eyebrows are still plastered on my forehead. I never heard of this one.
Actually, it was both movies
She was around 12 for Pretty Baby, and around 14 or 15 for Endless Love, both controversial movies. But in the second one, she was actually nude in a couple of scenes, though all "naughty bits" hidden, and when it was true nudity there was a body double. That was more controversial than her first movie, in which she never appeared naked.
At least the second movie had a better theme song. :-)
Reviews of Everything, reviews and opinions of, well, almost anything!
boy you are good Catfish
I did think there may be two different movies with her. My memory isn't what it used to be. I remember all the talk of her being nude in that movie. I just remember the talk about her playing a prostitute in Pretty Baby and how young she was.
Spoiled Stardom and the unfortunate children that get caught up
Sassys
in it, she should have been used to a certain amount of it, being that she started out as a Mickey Mouse dealio. Anyhoo, I agree with Catfish here (as usual lol) one has to separate the singer from the little ho:)
Remember Micheal Jackson?? Of course you do, well Mikey got busted for being basically arrogant, as is Mz. Spears...Nobody likes it when the rich and famous act like they are, well, rich and famous! But the girl CAN sing! Now if she would just chill, keep her underpants ON, and get back to what she does best, maybe we can forget she is still only what, 21? UGH!
