No family, no agent to step in- Where the hell are Britney's blood suckers now?
When things go bad for Britney... and let's face it, some they really have for this personality, what do you suppose her "handlers" are doing now? Probably putting the money away after its final accounting so they can "handle" the next "star" and get in on some good ole leeching.

You know as well as I this shit should not be news. Yet, here we are drawn to it "on the hour". I thought about this after the umpteenth time of seeing video loops of the ambulance over and over on KO, then hearing top of the hour "news" on Air America. We don't need this. She frankly needs something other than us piling up for a crop of new jokes on Leno.

The fact is, we're being marketed non-news about life's failures by the same media hounds who brought you the E! network. Meanwhile, a bunch pathetic blood suckers who otherwise would be Britney Spears entourage have exited this deeply flawed human being. Have you had enough of this pablum? It's crap. It's not news and you KNOW it's not news.

2. You know the Bushies want this to be national news to divert our attention
from their nefarious activities.

5. I gotta tell ya, was just saying to my wife that this girl really, really needs ...
someone to help her that doesn't give a shit that Brit has $100 million $$$$$. My exact words are that Brit will not be on this earth much longer at this pace. Sure hope someone steps up to the plate and helps screw her head back on... This really is very sad IMO...

6. "here we are drawn to it ..."
We? :wtf:

I'm sick of her and her family being the big event all the time.

Britney beaver shots. Jamie Lynn's pregnant. Britney gets fucked up and flips out... enough!

Perfectly good air time that could be used for news is wasted on their bullshit drama.

13. Well, that's it, exactly, then. The "we" that are being drawn to anything, it's
... the accompanying commercial that follows this crap. The beaver shot and knocked up sister are just dressing in the window that normally wouldn't be give the time of day, were it your family or mine (well, at least mine...)

7. Off Skulking Somewhere
There will always be celebrity meltdowns to entertain us, and Britney's is the best there's been since Courtney Love - on this side of the Atlantic, anyway.

Whomever the daddy of Jamie Lynn's baby is, ought to be talking to a lawyer right about now.

15. It's never done until the last drop, fivegan
Frankly, I don't know if they are "done", but they sure don't seem to be attempting damage control, which I would think would be a concern, if they had any for her...

11. Well her Mom is probably home rewriting her "Christian Parenting" book...
explaining why her youngest daughter was "surprised" she was pregnant. :eyes:

Yr right. It was the first thing I heard when I clicked on the news this morning. Blizzards, wars, genocide all happening at the moment but Britney gets drunk and it's national news. That kind of thing doesn't give me hope...

12. Not to sit here and gossip, but I've read in the newspaper....
.. that Ms. Spears is a hellish bitch to anyone who even so much as gets near her, and that she has fired, alienated, insulted, attacked, screamed at, hit, & refused to pay everything from nannies, to cleaners, to cooks, to attorneys, to you-name-it. I also read that she's a total witch to everyone in her family, and that when she's not acting like a complete mentally retarded individual, she's drunk on her behind, making a fool of herself, or breaking the law for fun. She thinks she's the only one on the planet that shouldn't have to be have humanly. Sooner or later there will be a really horrific tragedy in this woman's life (because she is a woman; she's definitely NOT some kid). Lastly, she's got about as much intellectual curiosity as a mollusk, and the charitable philanthropy of a Scrooge. Aside from that she's fine. lol

19. I do get this part... really...
How much intellectual curiosity can an ex-mousekateer have when on the fast track to stardom? But, on the other hand, Christine Agulara (the other mousekateer who seems to have taken a different path in life, had and has something in her life Ms Spears obviously had not. Probably a mother who didn't just want a gravy train.

25. Well, that leads into a FAR better discussion on the BSpears thing-
And I agree about the closeness, whether it be cultural, which I think is pretty true...because if the story were examined from that point of view, we'd get something out of it. But, the network news probably won't lead the way. Too much Viagra, E! network and Talk Soup shows to sell.

26. True but you know...
I don't have much patience or tolerance for people who have access to millions of dollars, who don't have to work 14 hours a day, who don't have to cook or clean, who can just pick up the phone and order anything, do anything, go anywhere. With so many suffering people working several jobs, taking care of kids, alone, with no help, and they go through their day being nice to others, while this woman who has it all acts like a spoiled brat and mistreats people constantly. It's hard to feel any empathy for her.

33. Yep...
In fact, you are speaking on behalf of my niece, who should not have to deal with the way she scrimps by, raises a boy, and gets very minimal from the father. She and others are gems who Ms. Spears should study on the way to "self discovery"...

29. Before you pile on too much...She's obviously mentally ill as well
Have you ever dealt with a mentally ill person? I have. They are by nature extremely self-centered and behave in ways that appear to be just bitchy for no reason. Granted she's been spoiled, but I have a relative who has alienated, insulted, screamed at, and cut off almost every memeber of the family who pointed out her bad behavior and even though she knows she has behaved badly, she still indulges in the loathsome behavior much to the rest of the families disgust and chagrin.
The point is, that often people with mental illnesses/personality disorders indulge in bad behavior and its a really fine line between holding them accountable for it, and trying to understand that the disease is at least partially responsible.

14. If britney was anyone else, she would have had her kids taken away a long
time ago.

She's the bar car at the end of the slow motion train wreck.

23. Personally, she has been left alone far to long IMO... She needs help....
Unfortunately it's like a drug addict or alcoholic, they must want help before someone can really help them... I do feel that she will be dead in the next year though if she doesn't want and get some serious help.

27. I heard that her father has been to see her at the hospital. As someone reminded me
this morning, she is probably mentally ill, possibly bipolar, and needs real help and support. Let's hope the leeches place her welfare ahead of their own.

28. If she truly makes $750K a MONTH, I'll tell you where the bloodsuckers are
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 12:03 AM by SoCalDem
they are standing around with their hands OUT, and enabling her dangerous behavior.

She needs to sell her LA digs, remove the ridiculous extensions (we KNOW you shaved your head a few months ago)..get into some SERIOUS therapy and all this AFTER she moves away..FAR away from the leeches who have done her NO GOOD.

She needs to hire some serious helpers to help her learn how to live as a responsible adult.

her kids are still young enough, that if she gets her shit together in a year or two, she can still rekindle a meaningful relationship with them..but if she does nothing, she will be dead within a few years :(
