Britney Spears

She's lost it, I think...I really feel sorry for her two kids. And who knew that out of her and K-Fed, HE would be the more stable parent!

Both Spears' daughters are much like the rest of young Hollywood. They spent all their lives in front of the camera as teens and surrounded themselves with "yes-men" type of people all their lives. They never even had a chance to change themselves when they faced any tough obstacles.

There are lots of stories worse than Britney Spears, such as Corey Feldmann, etc. but the Spears' mother feels like she is doing "well as a mother" to the point where she is releasing a book on proper motherhood come Mothers' Day. This whole thing cries of hypocrisy.

Most celebrities do tend to get better once they have a "tough love" approach from a family member or significant other. Brett Favre underwent alcoholism and pain killer addiction and his wife, Deanna, basically told him, "You either shape up, or I am leaving with the kids."

Charlie Sheen had trouble with women and drugs early on, but his own father Martin, forced him into court-sanctioned drug rehabilitation after calling the police on his own son.

There isn't a single "tough love" person in the lives of Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears and also Lindsey Lohan. But the one thing you do have to keep in mind, is despite the fact that most young celebrities do get arrested and in trouble, they are not the only 20-something year olds in America who get a DUI or face drug possession charges.

In my opinion, just because a person happens to make millions of dollars as a celebrity does not make them immune to drug abuse and mental illness. For every Britney Spears, there are probably 10 similar aged stars who do the right thing.

 

I am not at all surprised K-Fed is the suitable parent in this whole ordeal. The one thing he has going for him is that he will likely have a much more "normal" lifestyle as he is now married to someone else and choses to live his life in more seclusion from the press, unlike Britney who puts her child on her lap as she is driving. It takes common sense to figure things out, but right now Spears has no common sense at all.

Spears should foot some of the blame for her parental issues, since she basically goes out into the public when she knowingly acknowledges the paparazzi will be after like a tiger on its prey in the wild. She needs to learn that there is a such thing as "staying home and relaxing" with the kids. Has she ever heard of a grocery store? She could buy bulky items and actually lay low for awhile, but it is her choice to do the things she does.

Personally, I think she's a whack-job.

 

Although, seeing what she may purchase for her "about to totally lose it again" bunker would be fun.

If you were shopping with Britney and she wanted you to pick some stuff for her underground loony bin what would you suggest?

 

I'd pick:

 

Firecrackers

Case O' Jack Daniels

Quiet Riot bumper sticker

I try not to read too much about her but I found this article really interesting.

An economy grows around Britney Spears

Pretty amazing how she's still raking in almost 3/4 of a million a month, mainly from music sales.

I honestly believe Spears will be dead at some point this year

I'm perplexed by our society's interest in this girl.

 

Her story is so depressing.

 

Sometimes the best thing to do is just turn away--to benefit all parties.

If that's what she wants, I may join her in the bunker. Nothing wrong with any of that stuff!

Agreed. It sounds like a great Fourth of July party!

A Los Angeles court has just ruled that Britney Spears' dad has been given control of Spears' assets. She was placed in psychiatric care earlier this week for the umpteenth time.

Does anyone believe this could be it for Spears' outrageous stunts? They have gone as far as banning Spears' "personal assistant" from her estate and changing the locks on all the doors to prevent her assistant from entering the estate.

As a person who works in the mental health field, this is probably what has happened to Spears. She was likely Chapter 51'd by Los Angeles Police for psychiatric evaluation. In order for Spears to be removed from control of her own assets is through a three-party application by concerned relatives to be admitted against her own free will.

If Spears is indeed suicidal, then the psychiatric hold will be a mandatory 72 hour hold, according to state laws in the majority of all states in the United States. If a person outside the Spears' legal conservatorship team attempts to remove Spears from psychiatric hold before the 72 hour hold, the person could be arrested for not following mental health laws.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg for the whole entire situation. Why this happened now, instead of earlier, is beyond me. She clearly had bizarre behavior in public, sometimes going on shopping sprees at 3am and just plain walking around public places appearing to be disoriented.
