Lynne On Britney: "There's Something Missing In Her Life"

justin

So sad that girl is a mess and all this work will break her

I have to agree with you 2:07.

Britney is still very frigile. She has everyone running her life, and they ar pushing this unstable person who is still under a c-ship with a huge amount of work and pressure. If they keep doint that, it will break her again. They are doing all the thing now that broke her in the first place.

I actually don't think what Lynn said is true. She said Britney is "ecstatic" about her work. But if you look at her recent performances, and the look on her face most of the time, she looks miserable. You can tell she does not want to be there. It looks very forced. And if you look behind the fake and forced smile she puts on, you can tell she has a lot fo pain there. I think her handlers are pushing her way to hard so they can make more money off of her. This could break her again since it is all the same things that they did to her before which broke her then.

I think you are right Sarah. Thanks for saying what most people are thinking.

Oh this woman is a real Einstein,
hmmm. What could Britney possibly be missing in her life?? Maybe an actual life,?
the type of life where she is allowed to exercise and practice all her rights as a human being? Oh but lynne has such a hard time pin-pointing the problem. All she knows is that there is just "something" that is missing in her life. What a bright and wonderful mother she has.

If Britney does break, then all of the people that pushed her so hard are going to feel really bad about what they did to Britney, including her fans.

Lynne spears is not to blame,maybe jamie spears is though(my observation of the documentary).What ms britney spears is missing is,simplicity.It's the one thing that will bring more joy into her life.I WISH HER WELL.

Missing the light?
Your choice...
Much Love however :)

ETs , spirits?
The very same so powerless , so so stinking , dead shit .
No Thanks!
Love :)

Yeah, missing freedom, illegal drugs and binging alcohol, sanity, loser dick, and a clue! Pretty much everything she craves and ol' Pop Spears won't let her have! And as long as others are blamed for her problems, the more she is doomed! If your life sucks, it's YOUR fault! Finger pointing at others for your problems is a loser way of life! So go ahead and blame Kfed, Scam Loofa, (back) Allie (bjs), Adnoid, paps, fans, haters, Ma and Pa Spears, and anyone and everyone but the one person ultimately responsible, Twitney! It only will ensure her suffering continues!

Oh baby, baby.

Britney needs direct and full on attention. I don't mean by the fans, I don't mean by her family and I don't mean by her business associates. She needs someone with wisdom and someone with no monitary gain at stake. She needs to "unload". Her hurt is deep. She put herself in a place that only she can get herself out of and oddly, she can't do it alone.
Wow...what a perdicament! Damned if you do...period.
Britney. Goodness girl. You are sadly, amazing.
Dont give up,I know you're stong enough to survive it all, but now, it's all about YOU. Get out of this deepness you feel.
Ugh!
xoxo

Coke rails and Correctol when she feels like shittin'
Fraps and her ciggies she'll never be quittin'
Uppers and downers to give her those zings
These are a few of Brit's favorite things

Blowing some dude in a gas station bathroom
When her mom travels she should stick to her broom
Desperate for publicity and whatever it brings
These are a few of Brit's favorite things

When the camera flashes
For the vag flashes
When she's feeling so sad
She simply remembers her favorite things
And then she doesn't feel so bad

3:31? Move on...Live in the now not what used to be.
Geesh!

3:17, are you going to kill yourself if she dies? You probably will consider it, won't you? Oh you're such a good fan to wish death on people! Such a wonderful martyr for your cow! It must make you bawl your eyes out when people say things that are not utterly worshiping your false idol. Well too bad, the haters aren't going anywhere and endless whining about it only makes us more determined! If it crushes you so horribly, why don't you go to BH and blog your bullshit to all the other mindless chump fans over there! Have a nice day.

There's something missing in her life? Sure. It would be quite a lot easier on her if the retarded cow had some brains.

Or talent. Or genuine feelings for her children.

What a pathetic loser.

something is kind of funny about this
you repeated from a different thread
you have nothing original to say either,
and speaking of people coming on the site to hate, why do you feel the need to come here and question and insult people? Oh yeah, because you are no different from anyone else in here. Sorry to burst your holier than thou bubble.

4:04,im just saying what i think about people who hate without any reasons,if you don't understand that,i'm sorry for you

The one thing missing is she has no empathy, and no thought for anyone other than herself. She is so selfish, and she puts herself before her own kids.

You assume people hate her, but you dont know what people feel. Theres a whole bunch of other emotions out there you know. sorry if you don't understand that.

slutinzer, could you be any more of a hypocrite? You talk about "hate" yet you tell people to go and "kill themselves"?
You are just like the woman you idolize, cheap, low class and trashy. All you Britney fans are alike. Stupid little 14 year old teenyboppers with too much to say for yourselves. Your parents should pull you off the computer and give you some discipline so you don't grow up a horrid spoiled ungrateful brat like Britney. Grow up.

There's probably a lot of twisted things slutnizer would like to kill for. Nutjobs like her would enjoy killing those who do not fall into some sort of correct line that they imagine! Scary little people with small brains, that's the type of rage filled, antisocial psycho lunatics slutnizer falls into. The types that burn supposed witches and kill for religion like we've seen in the past and present. Truly scary indeed!

I just...I don't get you people that have nehative things to say about Britney. Okay, I'm a fan. I'm not ashamed to admit that. Yes, Britney didn't perform to the best of her ability this past week. Yes, Britney did go through a very dramatic year last year. yes, britney has had some issues called into play. But I'd think that you guys would want her to get better. Instead you come on here, and try and bring her down further. How can you go an assume things when you don't know her? You say she was on drugs. Did you ever see her take 'em? You say she's a whore, yet we can point out TONS of female singers that use their sexuality to their advantage. I think before you judge someone like Britney, you should come up with some LEGIT facts, not facts that X17 or TMZ made up to further themseleves.

What britney needs is to get laid. She has spent so much time alone that all she has is her hand and her sex toys to comfort her. She did a song called the touch of my hand where she made it very clear that she pleasures herself as often as she can with her hand. There was also the revelation of how it was discovered that in her old home that there were a great deal of sex toys there along with toys for her children. Britney just needs a good man who will appreciate her for who she is and love her no matter what. Someone who has no interest in fame, but understands that she is a celebrity and that he will have to deal with her fame because it is not going to go away. So britney is like a lot of girls out there who are looking for a good or great guy, but she can not make a mistake because if she does then the world will ridicule her for it. A lot of people make mistakes, but their mistakes are not broadcast for the world to see. If you are not one of the fortunate ones to have found a good or great guy then i hope you do someday because to have that special someone in your life is a gift that you should appreciate. Britney may be surrounded by a lot of people who to someone who is not aware of her situation might actually think that she is happy because she has them, but she is not. I do not get why there are so many people who are wishing that more bad things happen to this girl. It is pretty obvious that she has nothing more to give so take it easy with all of the attacks on her. It is pointless to go after someone who has waved a white flag and said enough already.

THE DAY I SAW BRITNEY SPEARS’ FATHER PULL A KNIFE

By Sharon Churcher

Last updated at 10:06 PM on 06th December 2008

Britney Spears celebrated her 27th birthday party last week in New York. She appears to have undergone a remarkable transformation. Less than a year ago, her reign as America’s favourite pop princess had descended into ghoulish soap opera.

Her bizarre drink and drug-fuelled behaviour had led to doubts about her sanity, she had lost custody of her two young sons to former husband Kevin Federline, and she had been forcibly taken to a psychiatric ward in Los Angeles after a stand-off with police.

Last week, however, she celebrated her 27th birthday with a smile on her face and a hit single, Womanizer, near the top of the charts.

Once shaven-headed and bloated from a diet of junk food and alcohol, Britney again looks toned and fit. Her recent appearance on X Factor during a whirlwind trip to London drew a record audience for the show.

The man credited as the architect of one of pop music’s most extraordinary comebacks is none other than Britney’s father, Jamie.

The 56-year-old former builder, who is divorced from Britney’s mother Lynne, was granted control over the star’s business affairs and appointed her ‘conservator’ – the equivalent of a child’s guardian for an adult – at a court hearing last February, shortly after her discharge from a psychiatric ward.

This effectively handed Spears control over his daughter’s life and there is no doubt he takes the role seriously. His first act was to cut her off from an aide who was allegedly plying his daughter with pills. He ordered a halt to the spending sprees that were draining Britney’s fortune and made sure she kept away from the sleazy clubs and hangers-on who could drag her back to her old self-destructive habits.

He also masterminded her extraordinary return to the recording studio and stage. Britney has just released her sixth album, Circus, and will embark on a world tour in the New Year that is expected to earn in excess of £150million.

Yet something about her performance on X Factor – she lip-synched badly, danced unconvincingly and appeared stunned when asked about the relative merits of the contestants – suggests that all is not quite as it seems.

Insiders on her mini-tour of Germany, France and Britain revealed that the star lives in a bubble designed to maximise her potential as a money-making machine as well as physically separate her from all temptation – whether that be drugs, alcohol, junk food or men.

Failed marriage: Britney's parents Lynne and Jamie divorced in 2002 after 20 years together

But Britney’s friends are worried that the regime imposed by her father does little for her fragile state of mind. They say that in private she confesses to feeling pressurised to perform, frequently dissolves in tears and has a volatile love-hate relationship with her father.

They also question whether Jamie Spears, a former bankrupt and recovering alcoholic whose only business experience is a failed building company is a suitable person to exercise such iron control over a very vulnerable young woman.

Certainly the Spears I met seven years ago at his isolated bungalow on a dirt road in rural Kentwood, Louisiana, didn’t seem the most sensitive of souls. In a terrifying encounter that lasted four hours, Britney’s father subjected me to a hostile drunken monologue while refusing to let me leave.

Every time I got up to go, he picked up a large carving knife and theatrically stabbed it into the wooden table at which we were sitting.

‘You can sleep here,’ he said. ‘You said you wanted to know what it was like being Britney.’

Two growling alsatians, a rottweiler and a man Spears claimed was a ‘bodyguard’ prowled the creaky back porch, which had been converted into a makeshift redneck bar complete with illuminated Budweiser sign, beer and whisky. An airgun lay in front of Spears.

He had been drinking heavily and was chewing Kodiak tobacco and showed me round the little house where Britney grew up while his ‘bodyguard’ cooked a huge iron pan of crayfish outside on a camping stove.

Surprisingly, the inside of the house was immaculate, almost as though no one lived there. It was also a rather spooky shrine to his famous daughter, with framed pictures, magazine covers, platinum records, concert posters and even used ticket stubs covering almost every available inch of space.

Spears told me: ‘There’s not a man on earth could be happier than me. I have got the most famous daughter in the world.’ But he admitted: ‘I squandered my money on wild women and beer.

‘Britney is focused. She’s been a star since birth. I still build but I do it when I feel like it.’

Spears then attempted to give me a drunken hug. He confided that he was all but broke, but added that Britney had bought him the smart white pick-up truck parked outside and had bought his wife Lynne, from whom he was then estranged, a Mercedes.

My bizarre encounter with the man who controls a pop empire took place in March 2002. Britney was still a fresh-faced 20-year-old but already a pop phenomenon.

I finally managed to escape after Jamie and his ‘bodyguard’ escorted me to a local bar, where he said they needed to buy more beer.

It was a lifestyle from which young Britney had also tried to escape. When her breakthrough hit Baby One More Time came out in 1998, her parents had only a few months previously declared themselves bankrupt with debts of £100,000. Their phone was cut off because of unpaid bills and their old Ford pick-up was seized and auctioned on the steps of the local courthouse. Its windscreen was cracked and there were 71,770 miles on the clock. The vehicle fetched £1,000.

Though many local people blamed Jamie Spears’s drinking for the failure of his business, Britney castigated herself.

She believed her parents’ financial collapse and their subsequent divorce happened because she and her mother spent so long away from home – Britney starred in the long-running American TV show The Mickey Mouse Club.

As is often the case, however, her complicated relationship with her hard-drinking father was to cast a long shadow over her adult life. Britney’s romance with the clean-cut Justin Timberlake broke up after allegations that she was unfaithful. She embarked on a string of tempestuous relationships soon afterwards that mirrored her father’s disastrous marriage.

Her first husband, Jason Alexander, was a swaggering heavy drinker who could have been a younger Jamie Spears. The second – Federline, a little-known dancer – already had one child and a girlfriend who was eight months pregnant when his relationship with Britney began.

The most disturbing part of the new arrangement between father and daughter is that Britney’s show-business career is her father’s only passport out of poverty – a poverty that his alcoholism helped create.

With Britney’s apparent recovery, I spoke again to the Spears family’s friends in the faded town of Kentwood, population 2,174.

They told me that Jamie had been sober for five years after treatment at a rehabilitation clinic and hoped his own battle with alcohol would be an inspiration to his daughter. One friend said: ‘He genuinely believes he can be an anchor in her life.
‘He’s very honest about his faults and he tells her, “Don’t do as I do, do as I say you’re to do.” She says she has forgiven him for her childhood. But I know she finds it hard. There’s a sadness in her eyes.’

When a court in Los Angeles appointed Spears his daughter’s conservator, he reportedly persuaded her to support his application by saying it would help her to win back custody of her children from Federline. But this is a development that conspicuously appears no nearer today than it did a year ago.

Her father’s supporters insist that his behaviour is the only type of ‘tough love’ that will prevent his daughter’s relapse into drink and drug addiction again. They point to her evident healthy glow and the rebirth of her show-business career as proof that he has her best interests at heart.

But friends of Britney say she is becoming increasingly anxious about the power her father has over her life.

Tensions have been raised to an all-time high following the announcement that she will embark on a worldwide tour – a massive undertaking for any young star, let alone one who until so recently was on the edge of a total breakdown.

A tearful Britney is said to have threatened to cancel some engagements, complaining that she is not yet strong enough to cope. ‘She blames her father for everything,’ one acquaintance said. ‘He and Brit hardly spoke for years and now all of a sudden he is the king.

‘She has an overwhelming love-hate relationship with her dad, and now Jamie has alienated his daughter by treating her like an infant. She is given to crying fits and says her father has pushed her into performing before she is ready.’

Her friends acknowledge that her father has kept his promise to keep her away from the party, drink and drugs lifestyle that prompted her downward spiral to a psychiatric clinic. But they say his controlling nature comes at a terrible price.

She is not allowed to drive her car or choose her own meals. She cannot leave her father’s side without permission – and then only with chaperones. All her phone calls are monitored and she is watched over day and night by guards.

On her recent mini-tour of Europe, she was surrounded by an entourage of 40 people and left the safety of her hotel room only to go out to ‘appearances’. She was not allowed to rehearse with the dancers on her shows.

Producers and studio technicians were refused any contact with her and all alcoholic drinks were banned – hotel minibars were emptied.

She lives in a strange netherworld of hotel rooms, rehearsal rooms,
television studios, limousines and aeroplanes. Even Rolling Stone, America’s respected music magazine, was prompted to comment that because of the terms of the court order granting her father power of attorney over her life, ‘she has about as many legal rights as when she was a little girl in the Mickey Mouse Club’.

And in one rare moment of sad reflection, Britney herself said: ‘Even when you go to jail, you know there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. If I wasn’t under the restraints I am under, I would feel so liberated.’

The question now is: how long will Britney accept her father’s diktat? Already there are signs of rebellion. Shortly after her X Factor appearance, thousands of fans crammed into London’s Astoria club to see her, only to be informed she was ‘too shy’ to go on stage.
No matter how genuinely Jamie Spears wants to help his daughter, the fear is that this unsophisticated former alcoholic could be simply unable to help her escape the past.

What man would want her? Seriously? She has so much baggage, meeting a normal guy is not likely to ever happen. And to the previous poster, do you really think she is/was drug free? Really? Wow!!!

Britney Spears will die soon, then the world will party, lol.

Looks like Britney is in for another major breakdown soon.

They have her under psychiatric drugs; she is being monitored all the time, her family is controlling her every second like she said in her documentary and her manager is running her in to the ground. She is very unhappy and you can see it if you look past the fake smile. She has said how very unhappy she is and that no one will listen to her, and how they push her (see her documentary again). How could anyone be happy under those conditions at 27 year old or any other time?

Britney will say what she is told to say. How can you be under a conservatorship and at the same time not be controlled. It is very, very difficult to get a conservatorship on someone in California. Psychiatrists and the courts have to prove that you are very incapable of taking care of yourself. And most important, you don't have the mental capacity to think rationally or make decisions like an adult of sound mind. So how is she supposed to run her whole life and make decisions about something major like her career or her own choices on what she likes and does not like. You can tell in her documentary that she is a very lost little girl who is very unhappy in her life. That is not someone that is doing great or is capable of rational thought. And now her family and Record company are pushing her like crazy with a very hectic schedule that is going to drive her down again. The people around her are just trying to make more money off of her while they can, since they control her now legally and have her isolated.

THE LONELINESS REALLY IS KILLING POOR YOUNG BRITNEY

Sylvia Patterson on the pop bubble

LAST TUESDAY, Britney Spears turned 27 years old. 27 is, of course, the Age Of Rock 'n' Roll Death, the classic date of expiration for musical renegades from Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Brian Jones to Kurt Cobain. So let's just hope, this time next year, we're not adding Britney to the ultimate casualty list because, judging by the past week's hysterically scrutinized and brutally criticized "comeback" caper, she seems even more mad now than she was when she was Mad.

Her X Factor performance, viewed by 12.8 million people, was notable not for its lack of live vocals - Britney has never pretended to be some celestial soprano, she is a Video Star, a visual construct, a perv-pop marionette with a bendy, S-shaped back - but for the look on her face when Dermot O'Leary posed his chipper question: "Now, our acts have been doing your songs tonight, you've been backstage, how do you think they've done?"

Silence. "Amazing!", she grinned.

"I met so many different people, the place is beautiful and I love being here in London, it's awesome." And 12.8 million people gawped at their TV screens and thought: "There is something missing in this picture and it isn't the vacancy behind the deadened eyes of the sometime most fabulous pop tart on the planet, it's the absolutely colossal elephant in the room." Which is to say that Britney Spears, at 27, is a twice-divorced sometime drug-riddled psychiatric-hospital-attending single mother of two estranged children who has zero clue of any other world beyond her hermetically sealed-off bubble. And the only fabulous thing about her these days are her glossily seamless hair extensions.

Britney Spears has always been the most preposterously over-controlled pop phenomenon the world has ever known, trained to behave like a hologram of a robot right from the very beginning. This week, after her years "off" in meltdown chaos, the masters of her universe returned, not straitjacket-controlling their visibly bewildered charge but controlling the global media, too. They shielded her from TV interviews (even on Good Morning America, where she literally jumped through fiery hoops) while magazines were forced to agree, as Rolling Stone did (the most powerful music magazine in publishing history), to "a rigorously micro-managed interview process" where the journalist and Britney were never left alone together and the questions were pre-approved.

"Britney today has about as many legal rights as when she was in the Mickey Mouse Club," notes Rolling Stone's Jenny Eliscu. She is permanently chaperoned by two men, even on dates (her assistant and manager's associate), watched over 24/7 by security guards and her father is now legal conservator of her estate with full control over her business and personal affairs.

Britney feels, however, "like an old person. I go to bed at 9.30pm every night, I don't go out or anything." She also tells the equally restricted Glamour magazine, that other than the people who surround her, she lives in isolation. "I love staying in my bed," she averred "and watching Dancing With The Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I'm kind of boring."

The undiscussable black hole of the last year, meanwhile, was illuminated on TV instead, in Britney's For The Record MTV special, which aired the day her pointedly titled Circus album came out.

There we saw what's also become of Britney Spears - a lonely, tearful, flat lined automaton whose life is no longer out of control but, as she noted, "too in control, there's no excitement, there's no passion. It's bad. I'm sad." And then she burst into tears. Real tears. My loneliness is killing me, indeed That Britney Spears is encouraged to cartwheel across the promotional planet when she's psychologically askew enough to allow herself to weep, openly, on television is testament only to how psychologically askew she still is.

Not so long ago, she was so complicit in the games of the global paparazzi. She had a sexual relationship with one of them in possibly the most high-profile example of the Stockhausen Syndrome ever witnessed. Britney and Britney's People are foraging, evidently, for the damage-limitation sympathy ploy in the merciless hope it translates, globally, into multi-million sales so the whole sorry circus can carry on forever until Britney is what, exactly?

If she's so emotionally dependent on the circus she loathes, surely she's incapable of becoming a recluse? Boredom, loneliness, frustration and a broken heart usually lead, after all, to the kind of psychological implosion which derailed her career and lost her custody of her children in the first place.

The Ballad Of Britney Spears has many verses yet to come and the worst of it is, like so many of her latter-day "classics", it isn't even a very good tune. It says much about us, meanwhile, that Britney Spears is also named this week as the most-searched-for general subject for 2008 on the internet in Britain (via Yahoo!), for the fourth year running, while the top 10 most searched-for celebrities specifically were Britney, Amy Winehouse, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Lily Allen, Heath Ledger, Kate Moss, Katie Price and Mariah Carey. All of whom either are or have been fame-possessed, fame-damaged, out-of-control, on drugs, mad or, in the case of Heath Ledger, dead. But at least he made it, scandal scourers, all the way to 28.

Hay everyone. Lets all take bets on how long it will take Britney to breadown big time and crash and burn. I say it will happen soon. Probably before her tour starts. But if she makes it to the start of the tour, then I know she will break after just two or three shows.

Start time bets now!

Lynne's not a mom. She's a fan of fame, money and power. Britney's just a tool.

I think she will have another major breakdown after her second or third show. That's of course if she makes it to the start of the tour, lol.

Pleas, if you're going to post LOOOONG Articles, please post a link instead! Or chop it up into readable chunks! The 'knife story' is wild, but I can't scroll that far down because of how long it is!

'Please', that is.

I didn’t post the story about Jamie Spears (I think it’s bull) but I know where you can read it. X17 included a link to the Daily Mail interview with Lynne Spears. The story about Jamie is on the sidebar menu.

4:47 you have no legit facts, and I don't think you know anything about drug use, maybe you should educate yourself.

5:37, actually I do. My mother is a recovering addict, so I think I know what I'm talking about. Still, you never say her take drugs, or do drugs. So don't accuse her of doing things that you don't even know are true!

No, I don't think you know much of anything, but that's fine. Have a nice day.

5:44, again, where do you get that assumption? You don't know me, you've never met me. I'm so sick and tired of you negative people who never have anything nice to say. Why don't you grow up, Debbie Downer, and relaize that putting other people down will not get you up the karmic cycle

If I only had a brain.............

If I only had a brain.............

HEY CAPTAIN SPAMALOT AT 5:58 - WHYDONTCHA GO SUCK DICK?????

She misses Kevin Federline. At the risk of making her sane fans completely crazy, that's the missing 'piece'. She went nutso after the divorce and STILL hasn't gotten over the bad boy. Boytoy must have a foot long schlong.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=58CZcCvwND4

Britney is missing her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in her life. ONLY HE can fill that void. Pray for her...

It's the pink wig, the pink wig is missing.

Which one of these things is not like the other?

1. pop music singer
2. gossip blog
3. pray/religion

oh goodie logic puzzles

Britney said her baby was her religion. The judge excommunicated her.

Hmm London's missing.

Yes, this hillbilly is missing the other half of the one brain cell she had. No wonder she has a damn babysitter 24/7.
Hang on to those kids Kevin, she will implode soon enough.

Wow, people are economizing insults. The traditional insult was “if she had half a brain.” Now it’s “if she had half a brain cell.”

It's a tight economy and the insult stock is looking grim.

Smaller lashes. Belt tightening, so to speak.

The tour is a mistake. It could easily push her fragile psyche over the edge.

to Britney's #1 Fan: It is in court documents that one of the main reasons Britney had her kids taken away was because they acknowledged she was a habitual, regular DRUG ABUSER.

You don't even know what you're talking about. What an amazing display of ignorance...

Britney’s inner circle and her fans will push her until she falls again. I could be much worse than the last time.

*It*

4:47-- Again, you are overlooking everything. Let's try again. With FACTS. And I'm not speaking for anyone other than myself. My feelings for Britney have nothing to do with her "performances" this past week. And yes, I would like her to get "better" (and, I'd like to point out that it has NEVER been confirmed that she has a mental illness). However, clearly, she has a LOT wrong with her.

My problem with Britney is how she treats HER CHILDREN! She wanted those children "so badly", and then she had them and neglected them. Say whatever you want, but she is a piss poor mother. After she filed for divorce, she was out nearly ever night for a year partying, instead of being home with her children when they needed her! She is SUCH a bad mother that she LOST custody of her children! She didn't just partially lose custody.. Kevin has FULL CUSTODY! And, SHE GAVE THEM UP! I am a mother, and I don't know ANY MOTHER IN THE WORLD THAT WOULD WILLINGLY GIVE UP THEIR CHILDREN! *THAT* IS THE BASIS OF MY OPINION OF BRITNEY!

Instead of worrying about her career right now, she should be focused on one thing and ONLY one thing right now, and that is making things right with her children! Kids grow fast, and she will NEVER get this time back with them!

I could give a rats behind about her career, her dancing, her outfits or anything else! I care about 2 innocent kids who did not ask to be born into her selfish world!

London, wherefore art thou?

Do you think I'm 4:47? (just asking) I don't care about her career either. I don't want to see a young mother of two children have a third breakdown. I think this "comeback" is dangerous.

I also wonder what happen to the other two dogs? BitBit and ?

Capulet's orchard :)

759 nice!

hee hee *It* ?

Thanks! ;)

i'm proud of being a Brit's fan

*It* sound pretty bad. But I don't know what to call *it*! The documentary didn't tell us what *it* is. This is starting to sound like "It depends on what the meaning of is...is" :D

*It* could be much worse than the last time. What is *it*?

Quote: "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." - Bill Clinton

sorry wrong *It* :)

Don't you think she willingly gave up her kids, because she knew she needed help? I'm sure britney knew and still knows she needs help. So maybe she did that to help the kids, because she knew she had a bad year. Yes, she hasn't been the best Mom. Yes, she did neglect her kids in a lot of ways. I don't like that she did that. But at the end of the day, she doesn't have that much to come off of. I'm not trying to have an argument, but, I'm just trying to broaden people's horizons.
Britney started her career young, under the direction of her Mom and Dad, who pushed her in to MMC and into stardom. While Britney was doing BOTM (Baby One More Time), her mom wasn't there. Britney, has had a terrible mother figure. Her Mom was never really in the picture, as far as I know. So, a reason for Britney's bad motherly choices were based on her terrible upbringing. I feel sorry for Britney.
I think for people saying "buying her albums and going to her tours" is bringing her down. How? Don't you think it's uplifting? That after everything she's been through, that she still has loyal fans.
So yes, I agree 100% that britney hasn't been the best Mom. But, at least she is trying to fix things with her kids now. At least you all should give her credit for that.

Don't you think she willingly gave up her kids, because she knew she needed help? I'm sure britney knew and still knows she needs help. So maybe she did that to help the kids, because she knew she had a bad year. Yes, she hasn't been the best Mom. Yes, she did neglect her kids in a lot of ways. I don't like that she did that. But at the end of the day, she doesn't have that much to come off of. I'm not trying to have an argument, but, I'm just trying to broaden people's horizons.

Okay :)

I agree 100% with what you guys have said. britney has been a terrible example for her kids. but, you gotta give her credit for AT LEAST trying to fix things with Sean and Jayden as of now.
Britney has never had a motherly figure, really. So don't you think that maybe Britney's motherly neglect is a reflection of her Mom?
I don't think Britney should tour, and I don't want her to go back to the studio until she fixes things. Just because I'm a fan doesn't mean I don't want things to get better with her kids. Just cause I like it when britney tours and releases a CD doesnt mean I want her to fall. I think when people say her fans are bringing her down, I think you're wrong. Wouldn't that show our loyalty? After a terrible year, wouldn't that show that she still has loyal fans?
I agree that britney has neglected her kids. but again, at least agree that she has been trying to make things better with the kids.

she herself said in the documentary traumatic stress - but never mental illness. What a crock that all you britards love to claim she has some legit form of a mental illness.

8:45, i never said she had mental illness. none of her fans have. that was all you people commenting negatively about her. learn to read next team, hatard!

Last night I may have inadvertently annoyed a nice person. It’s hard to know who is who with so many anons. I hope she understands and accepts my apology.

From Britney's #1 Fan! Love you girl:
"I think for people saying "buying her albums and going to her tours" is bringing her down. How? Don't you think it's uplifting? That after everything she's been through, that she still has loyal fans."

This *may* be the underage fan.

So Goodnight! :)

Yeah, it is me. Good try with blocking my IP, but that didn't really work did it?

The tour may be good for her to regain some self esteem. Seems it is a well planned US tour and a couple shows across the pond in June. 27 shows in six months doesn't seem to make a "World" tour.
Oh and for the record...not everyone here is EITHER an obsessed fan or a hater.

Wow, looks Britney's #1 Fan has an ego as big as her role model. Who said any comment was directed to you? And, maybe you should be the one to learn to read, plenty of her fans have blamed her behavior on mental illness. But I am glad you do recognize yourself as a first class genuine britard!

845 Traumatic Stress IS a Psychiatric diagnosis/mental illness!

Britney should know when to call it a career and just walk away. Look at what happened tonight to oscar de la hoya in las vegas. How humiliating was that to see what happened to him? The most talked about boxing match in years and after seven rounds he refused to go out and fight his opponent which basically means he quit. He got a big paycheck and completely embarassed himself tonight. This marks the end of what was once a great career as he will now surely retire. Britney needs to take note of what happened to oscar because he was one of the best and certainly the most popular boxer, but he could not walk away from the spotlight. He needed that spotlight on him and it cost him badly. Wake up britney. If you know what is good for you then you should leave before you have a complete meltdown while you are on tour. That may be something that you may never recover from because someone will surely post you meltdown online and like tom cruise and his couch jumping you may never be able to repair your image.

8:59, I'm a guy. A gay guy. So don't call me a girl. And, as far as this post goes, not one fan has said she has a mental illness, which is what I was referring to. And why am I a "britard", cause I like Britney? If you think being a Britney fan is retarded, okay. I respect your opinion. But, did you really have to give us a nickname? That's pretty childish.

Geez they got you excommunicated and you came back for more? Toooo funny!

I don't think Brit willingly gave up her kids because it was in their best interests. I think she did it because she really has no interest in mothering them full time. Her fans may not agree, but this is my opinion, and as someone who represents neglected children for a living, I am speaking from experience.

I agree that Britney has been thrust into the spotlight from an early age. I also agree that her mother may not be the best mother in the world. However, Britney is an adult now herself. There comes a time in every person's life when they have to take responsibility for his or her own actions and not blame one's parents. I've seen many, many children who had very poor role models growing up turn out to be WONDERFUL parents. Using Lynne as an excuse for Brit's poor parenting doesn't fly.

As for touring being GOOD for the boys... WHAT? In what world is LEAVING the children behind just as you are granted additional time with them GOOD? Brit really should be trying to bond with the boys and enjoy their childhood while she can. She already lost custody...now she is losing visitation time too. She will NEVER get this time back again -- and she WILL regret this someday (if she has a heart).

9:03 Why do you keep bringing up the fact that you are gay? You got something you want to work out, or?

Hi, I'm a girl. A straight girl.

903 don't let that person take the honor, you must be new here, at least in the last 6 mos. I can't believe I am going to actually type this: It's in the Urban Dictionary!

8:50pm. Who do you think you may have annoyed? I was on here yesterday and it may have been me, but i am not sure because you did not specify who it may have been. If it was me, then all is forgiven. Next time you should use a moniker so people can talk to you directly without there being any confusion.

So, Britards are making fun of Brittish people? Well thats just stupid, I'm not even Brittish!
9:12, I'm posting that because some said I was a "her", so I was correcting them.

I'd like to rephrase my last comment. Britards are Brittish people, or people that are dumber than a retarded person. So Britards aren't aimed at just britney fans? Okay. Still, thats cruel. Thats like below the belt.

Yeah, well no one asked to know your sexual preference, so why are you adding that?
Anyway don't try and set yourself up.

what are you even talking about? nice logic. get a clue.

9:21, again, I was just stating that I wasn't a girl. But, than I'm sure people would have said "Oh, he's gay for liking Britney", so I thought I'd save them the trouble.

9:23 whatever you say honey, whatever you say, you were just "saving" people the trouble. sure.
You got issues you want to talk about or something? I think you do.

somebody call Justin Timberlake, I feel a cry me a river moment coming on.

9:24, what issues? I'm perfectly fine with being what I am. Besides, why would I talk about it to strangers? I don't need any of you to judge my life.

OK! then shut up about being gay. If someone asks your sexual preference, then you can talk about it. Next.

As I said, I was saving people trouble. Besides, i said it. Why is it THAT big a deal to you? Did you REALLY have to comment on what I said? No, I didn't have to say what I said. But I did. Why do you care?

I don't care that you are gay. I think YOU care. You are the one that keeps mentioning it and then making up excuses for why you are mentioning it. besides that if you didn't care you would have shut up a long time ago. Anyway since i don't care (except only to point out that you are drawing attention to yourself) so have a good night:)

I'm not making up excuses. I said I was a guy a couple days ago, and then I got 3 comments back saying, so you're gay. So yes, I'm saving people trouble. And don't say I'm making excuses, cause bitch, you don't know me. so back the f**k off. and no, im not being moody. im defending myself. so if anyone else is gonna mention something i said, i will blow the f**k up. so ya know what, have a good f**king night. go back to talking shit again about someone you dont know. go back to wishing you could have her life. yeah, you guys must want to be britney. cause you all comment her posts every damn time they come up. so go get lives and jobs, you dumb f**cks!

Goodnight little boy! Have fun singing britney spears songs into your hair brush and dry humping your pillow! I'm done with ya:P

cya!

Who would want to be like that idiot? The jealous angle is so played out and ridiculous! Is it the money aspect, because it sure hasn't seemed to make her the least bit happy! Mo' money, mo problems!- and she's got all kinds of problems!

OMG are you people ever gonna quit? Bri- was added to -tard. Look up tard in the urban dictionary #2 I think has something relating to spears.

8:50pm. Who do you think you may have annoyed? I was on here yesterday and it may have been me, but i am not sure because you did not specify who it may have been. If it was me, then all is forgiven. Next time you should use a moniker so people can talk to you directly without there being any confusion.

-----------------------------

9:15 I’m sorry, my response was delayed. I went out for a walk.

It may have been you. We were (and still are) using anon so it’s pretty hard to know. Anyhow, if it was you, no offense was intended. I was only stating a personal preference. I appreciate the advice about using a moniker but I have given up trying. It’s impossible to stop someone else from using your moniker here.

I think the underage posters sexual orientation is irrelevant too. I’m concerned about his age. He told us he is only 14. I'm hoping if enough people ignore him, he will get bored and leave on his own.

Wishing we could have Britney's life????

You have to be kidding. The only one that wants her life is her fans.

Lets take a look at her life: she is under a c-ship. she has her life controlled to the extreme, by her father at 27 years old. She cant go anywhere becuse she is a prisoner. She can't do the simplest things you and I can do like go to the movies, the store, for a walk or anywhere without her dad or guards and the paparazzi following her and putting her in hell. Seh just has the worst 4 or 5 years in front of the world while she lost her mind and became the joke of the planet, put in psych wards twoic, rehab once. Seh had a husband that made a joke of her, AND SHE LOST HER BABIES. She has lost a bunce of money and her whole like became a nightmare and still is. She has to be constantly monitored and constantly on medicatoin for the rest of her like. She has major mental prblems and huge mood swings and has professoinal psychiatries evaluating her all the time. She said her self that she is a prisoner and that no one will listen to her. She said she feels trapped and that she is very unhappy. Lynne (Britney's mom) said Britney was suicidal and wanted to die for the last few years, and a whole lot of other stuff she has and is going through that I will not even go in to.

So a big NO. None of us wants her life. I would rather be, by far, living my life that I have now then be in the living hell Britney is in. My life is fun and I have a great time. The only thing Britney has that I don't is lots of money and fame. And believe me, I don't want either of those like she has since price is to high. Being that rich and having that much fame at the expense of your sanity and happiness is just not worth it. I would rather have a regular amount of money like everyone else and work a job and be happy and have my freinds and my freedom any day they be realy rich and famous, but have not life, be crazy and misserable all the time and be a prisoner. What is the point of being rich and famous if you can't enjoy it since you are crazy, insane, have mental problems that are horrible, and you life is micromanagesn and you can't even live it at all?

I hope the kid realizes that not everyone is going to cut him some slack just because he's a kid..if he crosses the wrong person he will get a shit kicking on here and it will be his own fault. It appears he has no plan to leave.

Oh my gosh! Did someone say something negative or snarky about a celeBRITy on a blog? The nerve of them! Blogs should ALWAYS be completely positive and complimentary! Why I have a good mind to call the police and have them arrested for defamation of character! You should all be ashamed of yourselves and will get no desert before beddy by time! Consider yourselves on notice, for I am all great and powerful and I am determined to create a living paradise on the internet!

'dessert'-and none for your horrible heathens!

9:55. True, he obviously does not want to leave. When he shows up, I ignore him for a little while then I leave.

9:49pm. You sound a lot like kira who always said that she was being imped and stalked to the extent that she too admitted that she gave up using a moniker because it was pointless to do so. If it is you kira then you can say so. I do not think that anyone is out to get you anymore so feel free to post using your name again. Unlike some other people i am not here to fight, but if it is you then you can say so. The people who were after you i think left to go fight elsewhere. You outlasted them and that is something you should be proud of.

Well I thought I would try the old haunt for a night. Wow nothing changes here, ever! You all could belittle one another over your favorite ice cream flavors!

Oh god, you said the 'kira' word! We're all fuct now! Fuct, I tells ya!

Screw you! Chocolate mint is where it's at! Or maybe cookie dough.....

Every mother has regrets over things they did or did not do. No one is ever guaranteed a perfect harmonious story book chapter(s) especailly when raising kids. And no matter how old they are, your always going to be there for them, and sometimes things will be challenging, but there will also come, the joy, the deeper connection,as they realize that you are there friend as well as their mom.

Britney needs more new friends, in addition to the entourage that surrounds her. Of course only trusted, responsible, decent, (down to earth) (not in the biz) Males & females, so she can learn how to be friends with and how to have meaningful relationships, and that is only on a friendship basis. It's ok that the males are good looking. That's even more the better. So she can learn to be friends instead of falling head over heals right away & leaping in. She needs to learn how to be Britney out of costume with normal everyday folk. And how to let feelings, and trust build, slowly. While having fun, getting to know them. Of course this being kind of supervised, but not so much that she feels uncomfortable.
And it should be with males & females that she has things in common with, such single, decent, responsible with kids.
Momma Cat #1

After about the third or fourth Mimefest/Jazzhands demo, there are going to be lots of pissed off fans when she all of a sudden she develops some 'mystery illness' and is forced to cancel out! Just wait!

And maybe Jamie can let her have male friends around.....as long as they have tamper proof erection monitors on and some armed guard is waiting in the next room!

10:49 I'm not kira. I didn't say anything about stalkers (you read a little too much into my post). I think a lot of people gave up using a moniker for the same reasons I mentioned. Many people are using anonymous. For example, you and I are using anonymous tonight.

PLAIN REAL chocolate, with strawberries.

Strawberries? You should be flayed alive and beaten with your own skin! It's obvious to all that you don't know shit about ice cream or blogging! Now if you would have said whipped cream, things might have gone smoothly, but noooo! You had to be a prick and talk strawberries and foolish notions like that!

Stone Cold Creamery, Chocolate Devotion

Pervert!

Chocolate devotion?
Child toucher!

Too much fruit?

And maybe Jamie can let her have male friends around.....as long as they have tamper proof erection monitors on and some armed guard is waiting in the next room!

You gay? Open or closet?

I thought the fruity arguments were done?

nice try. next.

Oh piss off! Isn't there enough cream in the friggin ice cream, you wanna add whipped cream? Screw it, I am getting vanilla now and fudge topping with pecans and NO whipped cream!

top or bottom?

I imagine top as you're always on bottom.

Too much fruit is a line from a movie. It was a joke in response to someone's joke about the strawberries. Go bait someone else.

Oh yeah, we'll see about that! Vanilla with fudge topping? Fricking coward! Too cowardly in fact to just stick with chocolate! pffffttt!

well nice to see there is still some humor here! G'nite!

Goodnight!

Well F you too! ....and goodnight (seriously).

"You should be flayed alive and beaten with your own skin!"

Damn! I want to make that into a shirt and wear that when I'm doing employee reviews!

I was here posting, but not at 9:49.

What’s missing in Britney’s life? Everything, and anything that the rest of us deal with on a regular basis. Britney has NEVER had any kind of reality in her life. If she has a mental illness, it has to be borderline personality disorder, because it’s clear that she is unable to form any kind of relationship with another person. She seems to believe that wagging your rear around, is some kind of talent. I highly doubt that her “tour” will even happen. What kind of idiot will go to a concert, where everything is fake? The singing is prerecorded, and the “dancing” is non-existent. If she really wants to get well, she needs to disappear for a few years, or she will end up like Michael Jackson, or be dead.

Of course she is to blame for Britney's meltdown. For not being a fucking parent to her. Idiot. Britney had everything hand fed to her and never learned any sort of boundaries in her life because of no PARENTAL control, she needs to get that into her puny brain of hers. I feel bad for Britney and I wish her all the best.

JUSTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !

THE SOMETHING MISSING IS AN EDUCATION!!! Britney is dumber than a box of rocks.

for gods sake the people that keep saying justin need to grow up. he is happy with a REAL woman and honestly, no man in his right mind would want anything to do with Britney or her looney family

you people with negative things to say comment these things nonstop all day, everyday; Obssesed much?

BRITNEY TREATED LIKE A CHILD AND HOW HER DAD TOOK CONTROL

Dec 07 2008 07:43

The year did not begin well for Britney Spears, the one-time princess of pop. On 3 January, after not sleeping for four days, and at the end of a period of intense personal turmoil, the police were called to her Malibu home.

Spears had refused hysterically to hand over her children to aides of ex-husband Kevin Federline -- who had custody of them -- and was eventually strapped to a gurney and hauled out of her house.

She was driven to a psychiatric ward, trailed by a parade of paparazzi. The entire scene was broadcast on TV.

To many, that shocking incident seemed to spell the end of a career that had once dominated global pop music. Others worried it could foreshadow something even worse, predicting that Spears could soon join the long roster of rock casualties. Either way, it seemed to sum up the grim cost of modern fame: both on society as a whole and for the famous themselves.

But, as this year draws to a close, Spears has stunned many by riding the wave of one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of pop music: she has a critically praised new album; is poised to launch a new tour; is giving media interviews; and appears healthy and well. 'Yes she can! Britney returns' blared the latest issue of music bible Rolling Stone, which put her on the cover two weeks ago. By any standard it is a stunningly unexpected turn of events.

Yet behind the good news of a career back on track is the controlling hand of the pop star's father, Jamie Spears. The former chef and building contractor now controls almost every aspect of Spears' life and multimillion-dollar fortune. He has been given legal control over his daughter, who is now in a state of "conservatorship" with few powers to spend her own money, see people outside her inner circle or choose how she lives her life.

It is a situation that has some Britney-watchers wondering at what price her new success has come and what the real motivation behind her career's relaunch might be. It might be less about the rebirth of a pop megastar or a daughter's return to mental health, but the desperate need to keep the cash flowing into the Spears family coffers. "Some people worry that Britney's family are using her for all the wrong reasons," said Michelle Lee, editor of celebrity magazine In Touch Weekly.

Last week Spears celebrated her 27th birthday in Manhattan. At a swanky party held in the Tenjune nightclub, Spears appeared in a revealing dress that instantly set cameras flashing. It marked another milestone in a young life that nevertheless feels like it has contained a very long career. The "old Britney" might have used the occasion for serious and out-of-control partying, generating a slew of bad headlines, but instead the scene was sedate. Spears was kept inside the VIP room, away from most of the guests.

Access to her was tightly controlled. One guest present at the bash said her father was acting like "the secret service" in shepherding his daughter around.

But, almost certainly because of that stern discipline, there seems little doubt the relaunch of Spears is working. Aside from Rolling Stone, Spears' face has stared out from other American magazine covers over the past month. She is once again good cover-girl material, and this time for the "right" reasons that fuel celebrity culture: fashion faux pas, new singles, video appearances and speculation about whom she is dating and her relationship with her ex-husband. She has topped the Yahoo! list of terms most searched for on the internet, easily beating her pop rivals and even defeating president-elect Barack Obama.

In others words, Spears' life is back to "normal", as far as that can be applied to a globally famous pop star. Looking trim again and giving interviews -- including a highly regarded MTV documentary in which she talked frankly about her experiences of the past few years -- she also has a hit single, Womanizer, and her new album Circus is being hailed as her best for years. She is preparing to embark on a tour to promote the album -- one of the most eagerly awaited musical events of 2009. She also seems to have won back her place in American hearts.

"People are cheering her on," said Mary Beth McGee, who writes top celebrity blog INF Daily. "The public really do want to see her do well."

McGee believes Spears needed her father's firm hand in her life to save herself and her career.

"The fact Jamie Spears both controlled her estate and had her on lockdown is what really made the whole healing process happen," McGee said.

But there is little doubt that the nature of Jamie's role in his daughter's life is raising unsettling questions about what sort of control is needed to save Spears from herself. Under the terms of the conservatorship -- which Britney had originally fought unsuccessfully in the courts -- she does not have much more control over her life than a child star does. Her father hires bodyguards to watch over her day and night.
Jamie has brought back her old manager, Larry Rudolph, to reshape her career. Reports claim she does not drive her own car and her phone calls are monitored. Her dates are chaperoned and carefully screened. Jamie went on holiday with her earlier this year to Costa Rica, unwilling to leave her alone abroad. He controls all her finances and decides how her money is spent. Her media interviews are micro-managed to the nth degree and kept to a strictly limited series of questions. She is no longer allowed to sit down with journalists alone. Jamie also recently won a court decision making the conservatorship permanent. That means he could end up in total control of his daughter until the day he dies.

Fatherly love undoubtedly plays a huge role in his involvement -- it must have been devastating to have watched a daughter go off the rails in such a public fashion. But there are also clear financial reasons, too. Spears is one of the biggest brand names ever to have emerged in music and she is a brand every bit as much as she is a person. She has sold 83-million records worldwide in her decade-old career -- making her the eighth-best-selling female artist in American history -- and has been performing professionally in public since she was eight and has long been the main source of income for most of her family.

She is not just a singer or a daughter or a sister to the Spears clan -- she is also an industry and a product.

That has some worried about her, even as they applaud her comeback. "When you reach that level of fame, it is hard to see whether the people around her are there for the right reasons," said Lee.

But whatever the strangeness of her current situation, there is no doubt that it is a turnaround from a life that had gone from fairytale to nightmare. The small-town girl from Kentwood, Louisiana, had sprung on to the world stage in 1998 with the song ... Baby One More Time. Her brand of faux-innocent flirty pop gradually grew up into a more clubby, sexualized brand of music. But the hits kept on coming and she became a hugely successful star, touring the world.

There was a high price to be paid: denied a normal life, she gradually fell deeper and deeper into a pattern of hard partying and drunken escapades. "She was someone who had the really dangerous world of fame open to her at a young and impressionable age and it basically all came crumbling down upon her," McGee said.

In the last few years Spears had seemed to be losing all control. There was a drunken first marriage (annulled after 55 hours) in Las Vegas to a childhood sweetheart. Then a swift romance with Federline that rapidly produced two children. Numerous incidents and clashes with photographers occurred as Spears became more famous for her clubbing, crotch-flashing and bad driving than her music. Her short second marriage ended in a bitter divorce and she embarked on a life of hard partying. She behaved increasingly erratic, eventually losing custody of her children. A pack of paparazzi permanently trailed her around Los Angeles from one PR disaster to another. They seemed to be waiting for the ultimate tragedy to befall her.

Seemingly oblivious, Spears started dating one of the photographers, casting off all contact with her family and the previous management that had made her famous. She popped in and out of rehab like so many seemingly doomed celebrities. Then she seemed to be flirting openly with mental collapse when she shaved her head at a suburban hair salon in Los Angeles. As usual photographers were there to capture the humiliating moment. Eventually it all culminated in that dreadful night at the start of this year that ended with her being committed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.

Yet now she is back. "I'm so glad for her. We have all had our worries about her," said Lee. But, despite her current triumph, it is not clear whether Spears has escaped the hellish and surreal existence that her fame has created for her. Or that she ever will. The conservatorship of her father may keep her on the tracks, but does it make her happy? Or more normal? In the recent MTV documentary Spears tearfully confessed to being "sad", despite her new-found success. "She feels in a prison. She has no control over anything," said Lee. Fame, it seems, still comes at a high price.

ROTFLMAO at Britney's #1 fan! Poor child is the one obsessed. (Learn to spell sweetie or ask your mom for Hooked on Phonics).

11:30 .. pretty accurate summation..and to you who think this messed up girl/woman is "cool" ??? yea no wonder the US of A is tanking big time if this is the kind of human trash you idolize.. better check your values they are as bankrupt as your country.

Yea, like a boy knows shit about moms. Fans are gonna get nutward x3

8:40, go f**k yourself. Yeah, maybe I misspell. Who doesn't? If you are implying you are perfect, you're wrong, you're far from it. But I'm making an accurate point. You all say you hate her so much, yet you comment these things non stop! You MUST either be obsessed with britney or obsessed with talking about britney, either way, you have some obsession with britney

Everyone should just ignore 9:04 unless you enjoy engaging in fights with a baby.

Yes, he's a child!

The USA once a world power to be reckoned with, embraced and admired is now nothing but a toxic slag heap of useless poorly made goods, rusted out auto plants,drugged out dumbed down workforce that doesn't know how to work anymore, and don't forget that the #1 rated celebrity on google search yes ladies and gents the fine Ms Britney.. the poster child for a bankrupt nation.

gaaaaaa! you get what you deserve

What Britney needs is a relationship, period. Britney even said herself that she is a lover and is never happy unless she is loving someone. She needs a stable boyfriend, somebody who will be there for her.

Britney needs to learn to put on her big girl panties without her daddy's help before looking for a new loser.

gree only him can save her, her parents, kids, men, fame, marriage nothing can bring this woman happines but Jesus.
