New Details From Britney Tell All!!

BSPEARSOOPS051507_01_X17.jpg We already told you about the upcoming Britney Spears expose by Ian Halperin, and now we have more details from the New York Times bestselling author. Halperin has penned similar books about Celine Dion and Kurt Cobain, as well as those revealing the dark and dirty secrets of Hollywood, supermodels and other high-profile individuals.

Halperin went undercover as a photographer for 18 months when he wrote and researched Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege, and he tells In Touch Weekly, “She’s on a high right now, but her life goes in circles. It’s like a roller coaster ride. She’s a person who is highly sensitive, and just one little thing could set her off.”

Halperin writes about how Britney attempted suicide four times after her split from ex-hubby Kevin Federline, and addresses her self-doubt and insecurities, which popped up in her early teen years. He tells the mag, “At 15, she had a huge breakdown and had to return home to Louisiana. She was very insecure and felt like she wasn’t pretty.” The solution? “She went on a huge diet.”

Though Britney has made remarkable progress over the past few months, and she's been photographed looking happier and healthier, Halperin believes she’s far from recovered. “There’s no doubt, based on the last two years, that she is a highly unstable person. She’s on a temporary high right now, but she’s never really dealt with all the problems she had. I don’t think it’s possible to turn over a new leaf just like that.”

Despite his somewhat pessimistic outlook, Halperin does say that Britney is a “good mother, and a good person...In fact, she’s nicer than most of the stars I’ve met. But as Britney once told me herself, her life has always been two steps forward, followed by one step back.”



Will you read Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege? What do you think Britney will say?

See it's people like you I could smack. You know damn well Britney isn't "UGLY". If she wasn't Britney and you saw her in the grocery store, you wouldn't point and say, ooh, she's ugly. So quit exaggerating. If you think Britney Spears is ugly, I'd hate to see what you think is good looking.

How could some "undercover" paparazzi boy get all this info on her? I doubt she is up on a soap box telling everyone her personal woes. Just someone trying to make another buck off of her. They just need to leave her alone.

if any of his article is true...then the family knew all along that she had huge problems and they just went along with a money machine, ignoring a huge warning sign that this girl was needing help....what a bunch of garbage people!
I've said it before and I say it again this girl had a massive breakdown under all the pressures of the give-me's, her mommy dearest, her deadbeat baby maker, her so-called friends....when she saw them for what they were she cracked..... I wish her the best, I hope she will someday have a truly happy life.

Two things here are very telling X17 and In Touch Weekly. Their track records for the truth are very weak. If this guy is some kind of undercover reporter who is writing a valid tell all with proof of what he is saying he would certainly not be having to advertise it at all. The networks would be paying for him to appear on actual news shows. It might sell a couple of hundred copies to a few piggies who are on here everyday with the same tired boring shit about what they think they know but if he was a reputable man he would certainly not be writing a book at all about such things. He is just another scum sucking pig to add to the list. Probably Osama bin Starvin's pen name...lmao at this idiot.

Oh and 12:57 you are a heartless bitch. Why don't you try what you prescribed and report back, we'll see if you know what you are talking about. But for you to say that some guy in Philadelphia was ripped off by Britney it would be difficult to blame her as she first started performing at a very young age and she could not legally be responsible for making such decisions as to who would manage her. Who told you this story your pimp or your crack dealer? You are not real bright are you? Did you even read what you wrote? You talk as if at the age of 12 she could choose who she worked for. Read the law honey. When you report back on the aspirin cocktail you prescribed for Britney tell us also how a child could rip of some guy in Philadelphia and how you know about it and also buy yourself a dictionary honey. You are challenged in more ways than being a liar.

You bitches that keep calling Britney a slut must know a lot about what that means. She is the one with the work, the money, the nice house, the nice cars, the people standing on street corners begging for autographs, the world support in the millions and people can't even remember your name. Jealous yes? It sure as hell is not Britney bitch. You are the ones on the corner trying to sell a piece of you for 5 bucks and a bag of Cheetos.

How about you people who are talking shit are just idiots. How about this woman is worth more money and has earned more money in her lifetime than you plus your mama and your mama's mama and you are just jealous vile ugly bitches who make shit up for attention becasue you are trailer trash ho's without a life. It is always easy to spot you. You are the ones that have said all along that you never thought she was pretty or loved or wanted. That she is plastic and stupid while you stuff your fat hog faces with anything in the house and the only reason you have not ate your first born is because social services took them from you. You piglest are the only ones not fooling anyone. Britney is doing just fine and she will continue to do just fine. She don't need you ho's. You are nobodies. And we all know it so talk your shit and try to get someone online to pay attention to you because in real life if you were not fat loud mouth piglet bitches you would be completely invisible. Oh and by the way Britney does not need you skanky nasty piglets approval. She has plenty of support from all over the world. You are obsessed bitches who wish she would look your way. Probably die your heads with peroxide at the local beauty college and have some bum laying up on your cardboard sofa eating off your food stamps that is if you don't eat everything up in the first 24 hours they become available. No wonder you talk about Cheetos so much. You think that is one of the 4 food groups. You lay for lays much???????? Bet ya do Remove false teeth and suck away scum suckers.

Britney Spears is hot. I'd treat her right if I could get next to her. She is a good looking lady. I have seen her in person in LA and she is a tiny little woman. Me and my boys all decided we would dump our old ladies for her. She is 10 times better looking in person than she is in her best picture. I love you Britney. Oink oink miss piggies.

Sorry but someone who truly wants to kill themselves doesn't have a bunch of failed suicide attempts. If someone wants to kill themselves they will make sure they do it right! Britney however is just an attention seeking spoiled brat. She thinks she is above everyone including her own kids.

Britney certainly is ugly, VERY ugly.
But I doubt she herself thinks she is, because she is very arrogant and comes across as someone who thinks she is the most hottest thing on the earth. I doubt she is sensitive either, if she was sensitive then she wouldn't have treated her children so badly. Sensitive to her own needs maybe.

Salacious New Britney Spears Book Spills Troubled Stars' Secrets, Will Make a Perfect Stocking Stuffer
Submitted by Julie on August 27, 2008 - 2:32pm. Entertainment Gossip News

In this week's edition of InTouch we're introduced to a new book by Ian Halperin called Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege which is coming out around Christmas. In the book the author talks about Britney's mental issues, suicide attempts and more.

Halperin claims that in January 2007, after months of binge drinking and drug abuse, Britney took a large quantity of pills and washed them down with champagne. He also says that after that first suicide attempt, she tried three more times: once in the Promises rehab facility where she tried to hang herself with a bedsheet, and another time when she considered driving off a cliff in the middle of the night. I know what you're thinking - that's only two additional suicide attempts. Well Halperin intentionally didn't tell the mag about the third incident because you'll have to buy the book to find out (or wait til someone gets and advance copy and squeals online).

Posted by: Anonymous


In the book he also says that she was suspected of being bipolar when she was 9, but that her parents ignored it. Britney also reportedly started doing coke at age 16, and after her divorce had a $30,000 per week drug habit.

As if that wasn't already bad enough, the book alleges that Brit wanted to hire a hit man to get rid of Kevin when he wouldn't stop taking her to court.

The title of Brit & Kev's old reality show is certainly fitting for her life: Chaotic.

This book also opens the paparazzi phenomenon. These professional stalkers who've made stars' lives hell, allowing them no privacy, turning them into prisoners of their own fame. It is said members of street gangs treat the trade in Brit photos as a "criminal racket." One photographer quit his agency, claiming, "The Britney story is no longer about Britney. It's the media circus surrounding her. It's not journalism. Sooner or later, someone's going to get killed. Possibly Britney herself."

But the author explores a side the Hollywood establishment and mainstream media don't acknowledge. For instance, how paparazzi always know where Britney will be on a given evening and how come a huge media horde awaits when she makes an unscheduled appearance at some club? Explains one: "She calls and tells us. She craves attention." Celebrity photo agencies confirm they receive calls alerting them to her plans for the evening. "She's not the only one," another shooter tells Halperin. "Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Courtney Love, plenty of others, desperate to remain in the spotlight, do the same thing. They all have our cell numbers. Hollywood publicists earn their salary ringing us up and telling us where their client will be that night. Without them, we'd be out of business."

Britney's paparazzi closeness was underscored last year when she began a romance with one of them. Adnan Ghalib reveals what he claims went on that night when Spears' parents engineered what he calls a coup, forcing him out of her life and committing her to an institution, followed by her father taking legal control over her affairs.

MUCH OF HIS INVESTIGATION'S ON VIDEO, and Halperin promises highlights available via the Internet in America's first YouTube-compatible book.

He will have Andrew Morton or Jackie Collins write the foreword and jacket blurb.

You people are the most gullible desperate people. No way did she try murder for hire. She's be in jail. That is bullshit. How the hell does this creep know if she was in rehab that she tried to kill herself with a bedsheet? Sure right gag me.....She used 30000 in coke per week and he knows this how? Was he the dealer??? She has been mentally ill since age 9. He has ciopies of her medical records??? Complete bullshit. Mickey Mouse Club would not hire a mentally ill child and it is very difficult to diagose children with bipolar disorder due to the behavioral requirements that are natural growth aspects of children as they enter into puberty and adolescent. If he has so much proof of telephone calls via video do you idiots really think he would have sit on it this long when every news agency in the world would have paid him millions without him ever having to pen a book. Why not just sell the video. Do you idiots think he would not have taken the money that was a sure thing instead of waiting a couple of years and not even be sure he could publish the book. And why youtube. It is free. Why on earth would he do a video on youtube with a book if its free on youtube why buy the book. That is completely stupid to believe that nonsense. Ridiculous. This is all bullshit and just like all the other crackpots out there he is looking for his 15 minutes of fame but the only ones that are giving him the time of day are low life scum sucking sites like X17online. This loser thinks he might get Jackie Collins or Andrew Morton to talk to him at all. He is full of shit. A moral ethical person would not touch him with a ten foot pole and no one is going to publish this piece of shit. If there is even a transcript for a book which is probably only a stalker following her around last year when OSAMA was feeding Britney drugs. My God you people are stupid. This is not the way the publishing world works. There is nothing mentioned here than can be proven. Not one thing. Fiction until proven. He can't. Barbara Walters herself would be doing a 20/20 or at the very least have him on the View. He better be careful what he says and does. If Britney is so dangerous that she goes around trying to get people bumped off she might put him on her hit list. LOL The person who says YAY to this is far more sick than Britney will ever be. You need to be locked away for life. You are likely the same idiot that said she should take 200 aspirins and die. Shar is that you. I know you probably could not afford more than aspirins to kill yourself with. Hell if she can afford all that cocaine why not just od on cocaine you braindead piece of shit. Are you really thaaaaaaaaaat stuuuuuupid??? Yes I think so.

Mr. Halperin obviously doesn't understand that there is a great difference between personal sensitivity and narcissistic personality. Unfortunately, Britney clearly has the latter.

Posted by: =^..^=


There is nothing said about BS that isn't highly exaggerated for the profit of whoever is saying/writing it. We will know the full story only if BS decides to share it one day with the public. What does this say about the paps in L.A.? Suckers for believing him. I will not waste money on sensationalistic journalism. The truth will come out. I do believe the cocaine habit, but at the time IH was stalking her, one never knew what might fly out of her mouth. Maybe she said things for shock value...duh? she did that constantly during that time. I put no stock into this book.

I’m NOT surprised!

Britney was partying and hanging out with the paps. Sometimes IN her house. She even slept with a pap. When Britney’s angry she likes to shoot off her big mouth. Britney probably told Ian and the other paps she wanted to hire a hit man to kill Kevin. I hope Ian posts a YouTube video of her threatening her ex-husband’s life. Britney's a crazy bitch. Even so threats are one thing, trying to hire someone is another thing. If she tried to hire someone THEN she should go to prison.

Britney threatened to kill someone before.

In July 2007 she threatened to kill a photographer in Las Vegas

“Spears ran toward Henderson but was stopped by security, and then threw a baby bottle at him, it said. Then, in front of several other hotel guests and bystanders, Spears threatened to kill Deetz and said he should get a restraining order against her because she was going to kill him or hire someone that would, it said.

BH has it too.

In Touch reports: "She's on a high right now, but her life goes in circles," investigative journalist Ian Halperin says in an interview with In Touch. "It's like a roller coaster ride. She's a person who is highly sensitive, and just one little thing could set her off."

"In his explosive upcoming tell-all book, Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege, the New York Times bestselling author explores the secret pain that he alleges drove Britney to attempt suicide four times following her split from ex-husband Kevin Federline. Halperin researched this sensational book during 18 months undercover as a photographer.

The pressures of her career - which began at 12 as one of the youngest cast members on The New Mickey Mouse Club - led to her deep insecurities. "At 15, she had a huge breakdown and had to return home to Louisiana," he reveals. "She was very insecure and felt like she wasn't pretty." But rather than get help, Britney focused on her outward appearance: "She went on a huge diet."

Today, Britney is on medication, but Halperin believes she's far from recovered. "There's no doubt, based on the last two years, that she is a highly unstable person," he observes. "She's on a temporary high right now, but she's never really dealt with all the problems she had. I don't think it's possible to turn over a new leaf just like that."

Yet as far as Halperin is concerned, Britney deserves to get better - and to lead a happy life. She's a "good mother, and a good person," he says. "In fact, she's nicer than most of the stars I've met. But as Britney once told me herself, her life has always been two steps forward, followed by one step back."

For more information, check In Touch on newsstands Thursday.

No professional analyst, psychiatrist or psychologist, who is sincerely interested in the wellness or well-being of their clients/patients, would ever send them to the "luxurious" (i.e. ridiculously expensive) 'Promises Treament Center' for serious drug/alcohol addiction. The failure rate for the celebs that have stayed at this center in the "bu" speaks for itself.

TMZ gave her doctor’s name. He's a Psychiatrist/Surgeon. What's that all about? Is she brain damaged from mental illness and years of drugs?

601 I think Promises is a joke too. Famous people go to Promises when they get caught because it 'looks good' then most go on a PR talk show bliz talking about 'rehab'. Look at Robert Downey Jr and people like him who went to Promise. Most of them keep using drugs.

No matter how interesting or entertaining Britney's life may be, it will not have any impact at all on any the lives of the posters on this blog. Don't forget that there is an important presidential election coming up that really will impact YOU. Take the time to watch both of the conventions and later on, the debates. Then VOTE!!!

but kittyface, most of these people have lost a grip on reality that tells them they are Britney. They are such wannabes that all they can do is argue and make crap up. They didn't even get off the computer long enough to watch the Olympics, much less a Presidential Convention or debate.

I like Britney’s father Jamie. He told OK! Magazine, "I do understand that my baby made this monster," he says, adding, "But when she was down, people took advantage."

I think the minute Britney decided to become became friends (and have sex) with the paparazzi her life became an open book. NOW it really IS a book now. Geez, Britney doesn't have any common sense.

She is a nontalented singer. She has had problems for a long long time and it seems like her family should have had her under the care of a doctor when she was a teen. I can't stand her and I really can't understand why anyone wants her back in the spotlight cos she is going to crack again. She had had her moment and it is over. I really don't want to see her skankness on stage again. She looks dirty, old and just not all there. She should be more concerned about becomming a functional adult(doubt that will happen) and parent(sometimes kids are better off with their father) instead of trying to recreate her career which by the way she would not have if she had to actually sing without production help and actual singers enhancing her sound. Acting like a sleeze on stage is what she did well and she would look like an ass doing her thing again.

Hey, I'm a Canadian and I manage to keep track of the Obama and McCain campaigns. My friends and relatives in the U.K. and Australia know what's happening with the candidates and the upcoming U.S. election, too. At least you guys are lucky enough to vote! It's all about YOUR FUTURE!!!

7:03 I love the right to vote (in or out). I always vote. I want term limits in the House and Senate and a lifetime ban on becoming a lobbyist. Every war generation has a hard time. We have it good compared to our forces and the families. I hope you vote too.

You are right about our forces. I work with someone whose husband has done two tours of Iraq and two tours of Afghanistan. Neither of them are voting this time around. They feel as if a vote for either one will be a supremely bad decision. Lots of folks are saying that. McCain seems like the only halfway decent choice, but that isn't saying much.

Posted by: Anonymous


Off subject, but it's too bad voting here doesn't have any real influence on the presidential election. We can thank a completely corrupt system and the joke/scam known as the Electoral College for that. There are other places where voting makes a difference, but this isn't one of them.
On topic, I bet Halperin's is going to create a massive fire storm among her remaining bunch of fans. I already can see them burning his effigy, if any of them had balls t actually do it (and they don't). The truth is going to hurt and hurt bad! It may not be the final nail in her coffin, but it will be somewhere near the next to last. The last nail will be hammered by her own actions and stupidity.

7:20 I’m glad you vote too. I’m a registered independent. I decide what is most important and vote for the best person available. The economy's shaky and we’re at war. I think our forces are most important right now. The economy will improve with a new energy policy and private investment. If you get a chance watch a HBO movie called 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' Part of the answer is closer than most people realize.

I was folding laundry.

Do you remember when Bernard Kerik was sent to Iraq to help build the Iraqi police force? My cousin's an Army Colonel. His unit was tasked as Iraqi police recruiters. The Iraqi politicians insisted the police force had sectarian quotas. Political corruption is rampant. Mess is a understatement.

I can’t vote for Obama. He’s a first term Senator in his third year. He has spent the past 18 months campaigning. I’m voting for McCain because in 2011 he’ll withdraw forces safely.

I agree, the electoral college should end!

I think you’re right about Ian Halperin's ‘massive fire storm’

Hard to say if these bits about her life are true or not. But if she did have a breakdown when she was 15 -- then it is inexcusable that her parents let her continue with this career

I found the survey someone posted today. I did the survey this afternoon. The questions are worthless. I spoke my mind by using the write in sections.

BRANDcasting Unlimited was hired to manage Britney’s online presence.
Take the survey and tell them what you REALLY think about BITCHNEY!

McCain will win because there are too many people in nonpolitical positions, wielding massive, largely unseen power that will lose money and control. Israel will then make an excuse to bomb Iran and we will quickly jump into yet another war that will destroy this country. Then the entire Mid-East will start a Global War involving almost everyone and we will not be looked at as the saviors by anyone else besides Gr. Britain, Japan, and Germany- strangely, two of our old enemies from WW2. Once China, our chief rival for dwindling resources jumps in, expect the weather to be in the mid 150s, with periodic acid and nuclear fallout rain, with partly mushroom cloudy conditions.

7:51, tried to take the survey, mainly out of curiosity, but my cookie disabling must have prevented the voting from working right. I could only punch in one check mark (to the far right side-if you know what I mean), before it erased it when the next check was put in. Tried it twice, same results. Oh well, just another survey. Thanks though.

Correction:

The survey will only let you put ONE check in the far right. So I only put one far right check in each section and wrote in my opinions wherever it would let me.

Voting for Hillary Clinton wouldn't make me feel good either. I hope everyone eligible, votes for whoever they want.

I really wish that we had some other choices politically. McCain will gladly continue with the war and perhaps make new ones, while Obama may yank us out in ways that don't work either. If McCain wins, the Democrats might as well pack it in and some of them have openly come out and said as much. Thus ends any illusion of a balanced, two party system. If Obama wins, there is so much dislike and lack of respect for him, that the system will bind up with two intransigent parties at each other's throats for political control. Why, oh why, is it these two?

Posted by: I'll vote Independent.


9:07 Yeah Biden's a career politician since he was 29. The politicians only work in DC approx 80 days a yr. Biden doesn't know what it's like to have a real job. They news says Biden commutes from Wash. DC to Wilm. Delaware on the stateline with Pennsylvania. He couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the traffic nightmare everyone faces in his home state because he doesn’t have to deal with it.

This is the same idiot who tried to say Kurt Kobain was murdered. He even pointed to Courtney Love as the killer. But did she get arrested for killing Kurt. NO!!!! Why? If this guy is credible then read this. Ian Halperin: "I have to be inclined to think that there's a lot of compelling evidence that points to a possible murder." April 8th 1994, Kurt Cobain is found dead in the greenhouse at his Seattle home. He had a shotgun wound to his head and heroin in his blood. Medical Examiner, DR Nicholas Hartshorne was among the first called to the scene to determine the cause of Cobain's death. DR Hartshorne: "This is probably one of the most classic cases of suicide run on any textbook forensic medical examiner. The fact that there was a suicide note left at the scene, point one. Point two: the weapon is still at the scene and point three: the nature of the injury. This was a contact shotgun wound to the mouth that required the gun to be against the decedent's chest and with this information makes it a classic textbook example of suicide." But there are some who disagree with these conclusions. Authors Max Wallace and Ian Halperin who wrote "WKKC?" believe that Cobain's suicide may have in fact been a homicide. Ian Halperin: "I have to be inclined to think that there's a lot of compelling evidence that points to a possible murder." Right this guy makes shit up. The attending medical examiner ruled Kurt Cobain's death a suicide and this guy wrote a book and said different and he was not even there. And he is known in the circles of the Holloywood dlist so how the hell culd he go UNDERCOVER. There are pictures of him online and tons of video on Britney. Find me one shot of him in them. If he was X17online would have published it by now. This is bullshit just as him being all knowing about Kurt. He makes shit up and he is a creep. You people are fools. Get help. You need it.

Only a fool would believe this tabloid fodder. This guy is a nobody. He has written a couple of books but they are all from his perception and none of them can be proven. He claims to have been undercover for 18 months. I can assure you without a doubt that he did not get away with shooting any such videos of Britney. He would have had to be over her head in a chopper dropping down 10 feet from her to get close. We all saw video after video after video of Britney. You mean to tell me that this website would not have OUTED this competition. This X17 bored housewives club are by far some of the most gullible or mentally challenged peopleon the planet. You all have watched video after video day after day after day for a couple of years. Just exactly where i the mix was this guy. It is not like he could easily hide in the midst of all the papparazzi madness. He is a dlister in LA. Bottom of the barrel sludge. Hell why would you evenbuy such a thing. You probably have
