Britney Finished?

Re: Britney Finished?

A-freaking-men.

Those kids have been photographed by the paps in their short lives more than notable celebs out there...and they're not even potty trained yet!

It's disgusting how Brit and K-Fed never put much thought in how their outrageous behavior reflected on the kids. It is my sincere hope that there's someone out there who will be a positive role model to SPF and JJ. I see their pictures in the tabloids and my heart really goes out to them. I don't know if I've ever seen a photo of them smiling and happy. Every kid deserves that.

Contrast that with how Dannielynn Hope Smith is being raised by her daddy, Larry Birkhead. I've only seen her once on Larry King and she is being raised in TN, I think, away from the Hollywood paparazzi.

Part of me wants to tease you about the fact that (a) you know the kids' names (or at least their initials) - which is more than I do, since I think they ought to be kept private; and (b) that you admit to reading the tabloids - yet you don't seem to be too fond of the paps; the first supports the second, y'know.

But only part of me. So I won't. Cause I like ya, and we're in agreement here - and I know YOU know my teasing you about it is entirely good-natured.

At least, I HOPE you know that. You do now, right?

Tease me all you like, LL. It's no secret that TMZ.com's a daily must-read for me. I don't know what intrigues me so much about celebrity trainwrecks. I suppose it's because lots of us like knowing that the celeb life isn't always the glamorous life and that they're human and have issues too. Some more than others. It's not that I'm not too fond of the paps because if I were really against them, I wouldn't be watching shows like Entertainment Tonight and reading garbage like People and US Weekly. Their belief in using force by any means necessary to get that money shot I don't agree with, though.

I guess I draw the line when it comes to the kids. They don't need to be in the spotlight. Except for Suri Cruise because she's just so effing adorable.

There was a lot of tv coverage of DHS's first birthday party on ET and possibly elsewhere. Regardless, there seems to be a concerted effort to keep her out of the limelight...THANK GOD. I hope...and it appears...that Larry Birkhead has the child's best interests at heart. Dannielynn, like Suri Cruise, is a stunningly beautiful baby.

The Spears-Federline spawn are absolutely adorable and what a shame that their little, vulnerable lives are on display. A train wreck, indeed...

I read somewhere that he SOLD the rights to ET for about $500,000, and got another half million from the Enquirer (or something similar to it). So I hope you're right, Tutu, but he sure turned a nice profit from the kid's birthday party.

I'm sorry to see that the Enquirer (or similar) is involved. I actually don't mind him profiting from a story that would be newsworthy anyway. Moving DHS to TN and the lack of day to day media exposure is what leads me to believe that he's at least trying to protect her. There will always be an interest in her so, if the money helps him take care of her, I see nothing wrong with it. I don't know where ANS's estate stands right now and whether or not Birkhead gets a monthly allowance for DHS but, judging by the extravagance of the birthday party, money's coming in from somewhere!! In this case, ET and a rag.

Re: Britney Finished?

I was logged on to a news website and saw some clip on the custody results. I was shocked Shocked SHOCKED! at how the camera bulbs were flashing non-stop at her sitting in her car. I cannot imagine that being a daily thing (turn into years) to have to cope with.

If a massacre ever happens where paparazzi dudes get machine-gunned down en masse, I might be able to understand why.

Re: Britney Finished?

An old friend just sent me this link to a new story about Britney... an unauthorized sex tape made on the Big Island recently.
Being forced to watch that tape would be what Hell must be like.
And the spiral just keeps going down and down. Sad to see... in anyone's life.

[...]... an unauthorized sex tape made on the Big Island recently. [...]

Unbelievable? Amazing? Nah, there's really not an appropriate adjective...esp. for the guy's reason for not yet releasing the tape:

So far, the only thing, he claims, holding him back from releasing the video is that he was so disappointed by his own performance, he is embarrassed to let the rest of the world see it!

Maybe he's hoping that talk=money?

Re: Britney not so Finished?

Finally, the girl gets a break. According to this story just posted on CNN:

New Spears song a smash hit
Britney Spears is finally catching a break.
Her new song, "Gimme More," is now a success on the music charts -- despite the pop star's turbulent personal life and the humiliation of her much-panned performance at MTV's Video Music Awards.
This week, "Gimme More" -- released to radio stations in August -- topped Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart at No. 1 with 179,000 downloads, and jumped from No. 68 to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100.
The song is the first single from her new album, set for release November 13.

Jumping from #68 clear up to #3 is very impressive.
Go figure.

eric's coworker told him yesterday that the guy who supposedly did the oofy dance with britney on the big island called in to the morning bomb show on 102.7. according to eric's coworker, as sam da man and the oofy guy laughed about how bad the sex was, rella (sam's female sidekick/co-host) wondered aloud whether it wasn't britney who was bad in bed, but maybe oofy boy instead.

i just think the guy's a complete wad-o-used-toilet paper. what a jerk for taping someone-whether it's someone famous like britney or not-without their knowledge! aren't there laws about surreptitious filming?

Re: Britney Finished?

Her next court date is Oct. 26. She's supposed to be in rehab again. I hope she's put on a suicide watch, too. The whacky way she's been acting lately (including going out partying the night before her last hearing, and then not showing up for the custody hearing), just makes her look like one very irresponsible person. I'm just afraid if she can't see her kids she'll go out and do something even more irresponsible...getting pregnant again and having another child to neglect.

Re: Britney Finished?

one of the songs off britney's "in the zone" album of 2003 was "everytime." some speculated that it was an apology to justin timberlake for what happened in their relationship. the video itself , which starts off in the chaos of being followed by paparazzi and crazed fans, was a bit controversial because of the suicide scene where britney drowns herself, is shown coding, and then reborn as a baby.

here's the video.

i'd long wondered whether the song wasn't so much a song for justin as for maybe other people in her life--maybe her parents? it makes me wonder if britney had been crying out for help, even as far back as four years ago. if she was, and no one sane and solid and good was reaching out to her, then it's no wonder she's gone so completely off the deep end now.

i just hope the video isn't a self-fulfilling prophecy.

According to People:

The commissioner specified that "a missed [drug] test, refusal to submit to a test, or failure to respond to the testing agency's call ... shall be deemed by the court as a failed test," the documents read. Spears, 25, is still expected to complete twice-weekly random testing for drugs and alcohol.

The article goes on further to state that at no time is she allowed to be alone with any of the boys. Even if she takes a kid to the bathroom, the monitor will be there.

It'll be a miracle if she manages to comply with any of the judge's orders.
