If you think that this woman "wins nothing" perhaps I can share a different viewpoint with you. People sometimes in life have problems and become overwhelmed and have mental breakdowns. Somehow I doubt she really cares if she wins? It would be nice for her but I think that she has been through so much and she knows that she has to own it and she has been. I know there are some that would like to continue giving her a hard time because they feel it their right to judge but I believe that it is not and I believe this because I think we should treat others the way we want to be treated. You know the "Golden Rule". We are outsiders looking in to a woman's life that we do not know. We do not know what makes her tick and we certainly do not know her pain and sorrow. What I have seen in the past months is Britney growing up and accepting responsibility for her actions maybe not by words but by actions. She did what she thought was the right thing to do for her children. She was not mentally fit to be a mother and she realized it. She signed over her children and pays for their lifestyle and she spends all the time she is allowed by the courts with them. She is in everything she can get into to better herself. Maybe she is trying to works the steps in the 12 step program. I do not know. But I do not need to see her 4th step to understand why she is doing this show. I can see it by all the hard work she does every day and we know this because she is constantly followed and reported on by the tabloids. She has made some amazing changes in her lifestyle and her choices of behavior. And maybe I should clear something up to you all that put others down with addiction problems. ADDICTION is a BEHAVIOR. It does not require DRUGS, ALCOHOL or GAMBLING or whatever your idea of an ADDICT IS. If you come here all the time and this site interferes with your life you might be an ADDICT. If you are coming here and being rude and nasty it is interfering with the power you have as a human being. Negativity can harm you irreparably. I realize there are those that do not like her. That is fine. Voice away your opinions. I do not care about that. But to attack others that like her music or to attack Britney Spears when it is common knowledge that she has mental problems and think that this is okay for you to do let me tell you this. In life we all struggle and I mean ALL. We have problems and we work to try to learn how to cope with them. Sometimes we have to go all the way to the floor and hit bottom before we get our heads on straight. It can happen whether you have ever touched a drug or drank a drop. It can be as simple as a chemical imbalance. It is PROGRESS not PERFECTION that each of us should seek in life. Make each day count. Whether she sings and dances or not, whether she does or does not win a VMA award it does not matter. SHE WINS. She suits up and shows up and that is the real sign of a winner in life especially one who no longer has anything to reveal. Britney has exposed herself in every way. So what! I forgive her. I pray for her and her family. I do not think she is a monster, I think she is a human with flaws just like the rest of us including you and me sweetie. :) God Bless!

Palin is notlikely going to be the nations 1st female vice president. She has a lot of skeletons in her closet that are coming ut. Like how she tried to get her ex brother in alwa fired and demanded his boss do so when she was his bosses a man of honor and integrity who was a police officer. She has limited experience in Government. She was a city council member and a mayor in Alaska until she got to beGovernor. The only reason the Republicans chose her is to try to bring in the woman's vote and the minority vote that do not like Obabma and are racist or whatever their reason. I do not know who will wil. It is too early to tell. Who knows maybe an Independent will come in and take the Presidency from both the major parties. But Palin is not the right one. First a pregnant teenage daughter and now an investigation into her abuse of power. If you think that she is not absuing her power taking a man's job away for personal reasons then vote for McCain and her and good for you. Make yor vote count. But it is waaaaaaay too early. There is always the possibility of another party coming in. Independents have won in the past. Look up the History of the US Presidency and check out all the different parties we have had in our young country.

you're stuttering 5:15. Take your ritalin and stfu.

Maybe I typed fast and have a worn out wireless keyboard and I did not edit. It does not matter you got the message. The message was check out the candidates, know the issues, know what they stand for and make your voice and your vote count. I voiced my opinion and your voiced yours and you told me to take some drugs and STFU. I do not take drugs and you will not silence me. Good luck with that. I will tell you to vote your conscience and what I know about Mrs. Palin. So sorry if this bothers you or makes you angry but this is what IIIIIIIIII believe. Now I am going to go and you havvvvvvvvvvveeee
aaaaaaaaaa greatttttttt day and maybe if you are lucky there willllllll be aaaaaaaaaanother person onnnnn heeeerrrrrrrrrrre tonnnnnnnnnnight to agggggggreeeeeeee with you.

Perhaps I'm not the only one who should open their mind? I believe you self declared Palin the loser??? stfu

Anyway, goodbye. There's a convention to watch and history to be made.

I won't be watching that boring award show either way. there are tons of decent shows on tv to c or the presidential election is more entertaining than mtv awards. Go Chris brown and Rihanna.

wow 5:29 comes off as a narrow minded bitch.

te amo britney hagas lo que hagas estaras muy cool lo se,

she'lll win all of em

she will win because mtv is desprate for attention. she do not deserve to win 1. ther were tons of video and talent out there. i luv the grammy awards better they look for talent than popularity or train wrecks plus their shows are decent and family friendly.

Yeah, MTV was excellent in exposing what a stupid, loser/dipshit she is! You can be sure that they're going to totally softball something really easy and that doesn't require her to use a brain she just doesn't have! Even with this, there is still a good chance of her making a fool out of herself again and that's what so many will be watching for! Putting lipstick on this pig will not help her look like anything else than what she is, a pig!

She finally smiled but still has cold dead eyes and scuzzy Hair she should just do everyone a favor and comit suiside her MTV show up will be worse than the last time she will flip out and cry

She finally smiled but still has cold dead eyes and scuzzy Hair she should just do everyone a favor and comit suiside her MTV show up will be worse than the last time she will flip out and cry

Who cares, she's not performing!!!

Oh let me guess...She's going to say It's Britney Bitch ONCE AGAIN. *Yawn*

Judge dismisses most claims in reporter's Heath Ledger tape lawsuit

LOS ANGELES - A judge on Wednesday dealt a serious, but possibly temporary, blow to a lawsuit filed by a celebrity magazine reporter who has accused a paparazzi agency of secretly filming Heath Ledger doing drugs in her hotel room.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge John S. Wiley Jr. tentatively dismissed 11 of 12 claims filed against the agency and two photographers, saying most of the allegations lacked legal standing.

He allowed lawyers to file an amended complaint that could restore some of the claims.

The woman, identified in court documents only as "Jane Doe," sued Splash News & Picture Agency and two of its photographers in April, alleging fraud, intrusion, unjust enrichment and other claims over the filming of Ledger in 2006.

The woman was on assignment for People magazine at the time.

According to the lawsuit, the tape was made after the Golden Globe awards in January 2006 and wasn't revealed until after Ledger's death from an accidental prescription drug overdose earlier this year. "Entertainment Tonight" and its sister show, "The Insider," had planned to air the footage, but cancelled those plans after feeling pressure from publicists and other Ledger supporters.

The video later surfaced online.

The lawsuit states the video was shot from a balcony of the reporter's hotel room, and that Ledger became upset when he realized he was being taped. The photographers placated Ledger by telling him they would destroy the tape, the suit claims.

Ledger - who has been celebrated this summer for his role as the Joker in "The Dark Knight" - was already an established actor when the tape was made. Indeed, the suit claims the video was shot hours after Ledger appeared at the awards show, where he was nominated as best actor for "Brokeback Mountain."

The lawsuit claims the video shows Ledger doing cocaine and that some of the drugs were supplied by the photographers. It also shows Ledger saying that he was "going to get serious (word bleeped) from my girlfriend" for being in the hotel room and rolling cigarette paper and saying "I used to smoke five joints a day for 20 years."

The reporter's likeness is blurred on the video.

That element, and the woman's assignment for People, were key reasons for Wiley's decision to remove most of the claims from the suit.

"Jane Doe is as far as the Heath Ledger public is concerned, a complete unknown," Wiley said. "She's not a feature. She's some blurry bystander."

Wiley also noted that the reporter had dated one of the photographers, and that the alleged intrusion of her privacy took place in a hotel room she had apparently rented to conduct interviews in. "It's a professional setting, not a personal setting," Wiley said.

The judge sided with defence lawyers, who argued that the woman could not make many of her claims on behalf of Ledger. "The tape's valuable because of Heath Ledger, not because of Jane Doe," Wiley said.

Neville Johnson, who is representing the reporter, told Wiley his client was also harmed by the video.

"It ruined her," he shouted at one point during the hearing. "She didn't get a story out of it."

The woman's suit claims her inclusion on the tape has damaged her ability to work.

"Just because she's a member of the press, she has the same rights as anyone else," Johnson said.

He said afterward Wednesday's hearing that he thinks a revision of the lawsuit will restore many of the reporter's claims.

An lawyer for Splash News and its photographers declined to comment after the hearing.

Yes, she DID abuse her own flesh and blood. All you have to do is look at JJ's arm.

we love U Britney!!!!Love, finish, I am proud of you!

New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.

In a videotaped interview this year on New York’s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama.
Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.

“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.

“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”

Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?

“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”

Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.

“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.

Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.

A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story.

As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University in New York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago.

The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: “He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.”

The details of Obama’s academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna cum laude.

Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man from Hawaii seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools.

Khalid al-Mansour a.k.a. Don Warden

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax from his home in San Antonio, Texas, al-Mansour said he would not comment specifically on the statement by Percy Sutton because he was afraid anything he said would get “distorted.”

“I was determined I was never going to be in that situation,” he said. “Bloggers are saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! — and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. So any statement that I made would only further this activity which is not in the interest of Barack.”

But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.

“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.”

Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.

A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.

He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.

But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.

In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.

The first "genocide against the black man began 300 years ago," he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second "genocide" was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”

In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.

According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.

Newton later had a falling out with Warden, who was described in a 1994 book as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism” at the time.

The falling out wasn’t purely political, according to author Hugh Pearson.

“Sometimes Newton and the other members of (Warden’s) security detail got into fights with young whites who didn’t like what Warden had to say about whites. Rather than ‘throw down’ along with the security detail, Warden refused to fight,” Pearson wrote in “Shadow of the Panther: Huey Newton and the Price of Black Power in America.”

U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues in the African-American Association in the Congressional Record on April 23, 2007.

“Among the founding members (of the Association) were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,” the Democratic representative’s statement said.

Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.

“Today, the Palestinians are being brutalized like savages,” he told an audience in South Africa. “If you protest you will go to jail, and you may be killed. And they say they are the only democratic country in the Middle East. ... They are lying on God.”

He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”

The Saudi Connection

But al-Mansour’s sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.

At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.

In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”

At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.

Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.

He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.

"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”

Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.

He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.

The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.

Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.

He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.

He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment.

When Michael Jackson was on the ropes in the mid-1990s following a series of lawsuits by the parents of children accusing him of sexual abuse, al-Mansour introduced him to Prince Alwaleed, whose Kingdom Entertainment signed a joint venture with Jackson in 1996.

“Jackson and Alwaleed became pals in 1994, when a mutual friend from Alwaleed's college days in California arranged a lunch meeting aboard the prince's yacht in Cannes,” Time magazine reported about the new partnership in 1997.

The mutual friend was al-Mansour.

“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with an answer, hopefully the truth.”

Sutton gives no clues as to why al-Mansour would be raising money to help Obama go to law school. Obama has said during his campaign that he paid his way through Harvard with student loans.

For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.

“To me, this opened up more questions about Barack Obama and his relationship to the Muslim world,” Peterson told Newsmax.

“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”

But when the full story of Obama’s ties to radical preachers such as Wright and to black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan comes out, Peterson believes that Obama’s star power will fade.

“I think there’s more to this story and to Barack Obama than we realize,” Peterson said. “As all the truth comes out before the election, I don’t think he has a chance. I can’t see American’s taking that kind of risk.”

How did someone with his meager record of accomplishment become the Democratic nominee for president? How did someone with the most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate and long-standing relationships with a former terrorist, a racist minister, and the corrupt operators of Chicago Machine politics end up as a supposed beacon of a newer, cleaner, bipartisan politics?

Investigative reporter David Freddoso has the answers. Doing the legwork that the mainstream media has neglected, applying a critical eye while the media swoons before the Obama-messiah, and posing the hard questions that Obama needs to answer, Freddoso reveals a politician as calculating as any other, a far-left Democrat who goes beyond "abortion rights" to supporting de facto infanticide, whose "new politics" amount to Chicago-style hardball overlain with lofty rhetoric, and who, from his positions of power, has helped his patrons.

In "The Case Against Barack Obama", you’ll learn:

How Obama’s friendship with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was no accident, but a carefully thought-out personal and political decision .
The inside story of Obama's association with terrorist Bill Ayers wouldn’t matter — an exposé of the insular radical chic of Chicago's Hyde Park politics .
The real story of Obama as a puppet of Mayor Daley's corrupt Chicago political machine .
What Obama really did for convicted developer Tony Rezko .
Debunking the myth of Obama’s "new" politics: how Obama won his first election by throwing all of his competitors off the ballot
The new 'Dirty Politics': how underhanded politics sabotaged Obama's opponents in his 2004 Senate race .
A story Obama would like to stay buried in Chicago: how he used his clout as a U.S. senator to save the corrupt Cook County Political Machine when reformers of both parties tried to challenge the entrenched political bosses .
How Barack Obama opposed a bill banning infanticide-by-neglect — a stance too extreme even for Nancy Pelosi. (Freddoso has an exclusive interview with the nurse central to the case.)
Why the National Abortion Rights Action League says Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate they have ever backed .
How Obama has repeatedly steered taxpayer money to campaign donors.

I would rather scrub my toilets than watch this untalented washed up has been utter a single word!

Yeah, she spends lots of time eating out, rehearsing, driving around, alone time at the gym etc etc, but most of us who are MOTHERS are home with their children because we are raising them. Everyone makes mistakes but most people don't screw up so badly that they lose custody of their kids, especially these celebrity waste cases. I don't need to pay someone to watch my kids, I do it because I'm responsible. She more concerned with opening up some stupid ghetto show than her own kids. She's pitiful and nothing will ever change the fact that she is a BAD MOTHER. She can't even be left alone with them. Sickening. LOL 7:32, you've got that right. I did tune in to watch her make a fool out of herself the last time though LOL

BRITNEY: DAD SAVED MY LIFE
3rd September 2008

BRITNEY Spears is on the road to recovery – and it’s all thanks to her dad.

The pop princess has finally cleared out her closet of hangers on, spongers and bad celebrity influences. Gone are late nights out with no knickers, bashing cars with umbrellas and romps with mystery men in swimming pools. The 26-year-old has also ditched the booze and partying and swapped them for a counsellor and a personal trainer as she plans her big music comeback. And it’s all down to her dad Jamie, 56.

Brit tells us: “My father saved my life. I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. I’ve not always been a good daughter, but he basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living. I owe him my life.”

Jamie has devised a plan to get his daughter back on track after her 18 months of hell. He has brought in a personal trainer, a chef, a lifestyle coach, self-help books and a booze counsellor.

Jamie, who is divorced from Britney’s mum Lynne, 53, is her court-appointed carer until the end of the year and makes all the major decisions in her life. He has overcome his own battle with the booze and has drawn up a list of ground rules, which he calls the “12 steps to recovery”, and they are firmly stuck to Brit’s fridge door in her Malibu mansion.

They include removing all drink from her home, staying in more and reining in her spending. He also makes sure she is in bed by midnight and has called in a bank of staff to help him, including a cook, personal trainer and a bodyguard.

It seems to be working as Britney is looking in the best shape she’s been in for years. And with a rumoured appearance at tomorrow night’s MTV Video Music Awards in LA, it could be just what she needs to remind us why we first fell in love with her nine years ago.

As a Senior Psychology Major who just completed a Senior Seminar on Addiction I think I am now well versed in Addiction as well as I work for THE DRUG COURTS. In our TEXTBOOK that is used at many major Universities in the United States of America that is a TEXTBOOK called ADDICTION FROM BIOLOGY TO DRUG POLICY BY AUTHOR AVRAM GOLDSTEIN MD it CLEARLY STATES THAT

"ADDICTION IS BEHAVIOR". PERIOD!
That is why it can be altered. That is why it is not hopeless to be an addict and addictive behavior can be changed. People who are addicts tend to trade one addiction for another. It is okay for you to be critical of what I wrote. I get that you do not like what I said about Addiction but since I do work in the field and have for a very long time and am a 4.0 Senior at one of the US's finest academic schools I will tell you that this is what is taught at schools. I admire you that you have the foresight to think in those terms however, it is incorrect what you stated to me and possibly a typo but spelled incorrectly as well. Behavior is spelled this way, no U. Since you decided to atttack me in a personal manner I am responding and I hope you learn something. Order the book. It is a fascinating book and it teaches you much about the world of addiction. You may be or you may know someone who is an addict. Most of us do hun. I will overlook your condescending attitude in hopes that you learn from this and also your speech. I am accustomed to people that speak the way you did to me working with addicts so I am not offended. It is good that what I wrote got your attention. Maybe it will make you and others think.

BRITNEY IS FANTASTIC!! SHE IS STRONG AND ONLY GETTING STRONGER! I'M SO HAPPY THAT SHE IS SHOWING EVERYONE THAT NO MATTER HOW LOW YOU FALL, YOU CAN PICK YOURSELF UP. YOU JUST HAVE TO FOCUS ON WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU. SHE HAS GONE THROUGH THE SAME THINGS MANY WOMEN AND MEN GO THROUGH BUT SHE IS COMING OUT OF IT LIKE A CHAMP. I LOVE HER AND NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID ABOUT HER SHE IS AN INSPIRATION. I'VE KNOW MANY PEOPLE IN MY LIFETIME WHO HAVE NOT RISIN ABOVE THE ADVERSITY IN THEIR LIFE SO FOR AS YOUNG AS SHE STILL IS...SHE IS DOING A GREAT JOB. GIVE HER SOME CREDIT, SHE DESERVES IT! GOOD LUCK, BRIT, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YA AT THE VMA'S!!
