Britney bitch!!!!

[LKD]

Have any of you have seen the new documentary/interview with Britney Spears shown on Muchmusic??

Having seen it on tv today, I must admit I have a new found respect for her. Unlike my prior assumptions on her, like Britney being a dumb and spoilt blonde, I must say its saddening and an eye-opener when you actually know the causes behind her recent behaviour. She is actually a down-to-earth and an intelligent kid who knows what her life has become, knows the 'normal' life she's being denied, and probably has a deeper understanding of self that many will never experience.


I felt an uneasiness just trying to imagine myself in her shoes - a human whose freedom has been taken away, always being hounded by dozens of papparazzi's everywhere the moment one steps out of the house, papparazzi's who get agressive and fight to get that money shot and false press releases etcc.

its worse than being a prisoner locked up in a cell where unlike the prisoner, she has no hope of attatining the freedom every human deserves.

Ya I feel real sorry for all the multi millionaires out there. The government should do something to help them survive the turmoil. Hopefully poor Britney will find solace in the combination of her party lifestyle, the millions of dollars she has to play with, and her supporting family.

Well, you get my point. Yes I am sure there are challenges to being rich and famous, but come on.....who the hell can actually feel sorry for them?

I think we've found a new nominee for this year's Mister Sensitivity award!

She became famous (or infamous, take your pick) before she understood what came in the whole package. Bad management, bad guidance, a lack of parental direction, whatever... point is that she can't leave her house without it being reported, photographed, critiqued and judged. Her choices may have been different had she known how it would all turn out.

Did any of the people spewing negativity actually watch the show?

I watched a little bit of it and agree with LKD. She is stalked 24/7 because she became a celebrity, she lives in a fishbowl. Give a stalker a camera and it is ok??

Even when she tried to go into the shadows they kept after her. No wonder she is wreck, poor kid.

 

[canada-man]

she needs to quit the celeb lifstyle

I could care less about their lifestyle or how rich they are. Some ppl are trapped into this 'celibrity' status from an early age. Even celebrities in their 30's, 40's or older get sick of it at times... imagine what's it like for someone in their teens.

Try picturing yourself in your teens or early 20's, and not being allowed to do whatever you wanted, nor given the freedom like every normal teen around you? jeez... at that age I think most of us wanted to be a rebel

If it's so rough why does she keep trying to make a comeback?

If she had wanted to go back to a normal life she could easily have done that by now.

 

[LKD]

no i don't care about no talent, substance abusing, law-breaking, can't maintain a marriage, delinquent celebs

Your brain must be extremely limited cuz you obviously have trouble understanding something from a different angle

Its more complicated than you'd think... No point of me trying to explain cuz your response just shows you don't have the common sense to even grasp the basics

You mean not put out an album. Maybe take some time off and get married and start a family. That kind of normality. The camera's were still there.....

Many celebs are able to function just fine and avoid the paparazzi. She wanted to market herself, including a reality show (!) and acting bizarre in public. Xtina has more talent, and has had a very good career with none of the drama Britney has had.. and has managed being a mother as well (Britney has lost custody in the past... how horrific must you be to lose custody).

The woman can't sing and can't dance... she has alienated her teenybopper base and her career is now built around how much she can whore herself out in order to keep the cash coming in.

I just love watching a train wreck.

I agree that the paparazzi are parasites and celebrities are often justified in lashing out at them. However, I don't think it's the paparazzi that make Britney go out in public without any panties waving her coochie around for the cameras. I had a tough childhood too but you don't see me walking around with no underwear so that everyone can get a good look at my nutsack.

Sure she had fucked up parents and not much of a childhood at some point she has to take responsibility for her actions regardless of how screwed up her past is...just like the rest of us. Being a celebrity does not give her a free pass for the rest of her life.

If she is truly unhappy with her lot in life then she should stop making albums, stop living the club life and go back to the trailer park she climbed out of. The paparazzi will eventually get bored and go away and she can have a normal life just like everyone else. I suspect she is too much of an attention whore to tolerate that for too long.

And no I did not see the show but since you and LKD are the only ones here who did maybe you could tell us some of the details that make you feel she has been unfairly characterized. Telling us that she lives in a fishbowl and is followed by paparazzi is no different than other celebrities. Why is her situation different? Until then my opinion is unchanged.

Wow, you have got to be the most bizarre poster I have yet encountered in here. So you are an expert on the celebrity lifestyle? And its so complicated that among all us terbites, only you can understand it? And apparently the technicalities of the celebrity lifestyle are encompassed as part of common sense? Gosh, I never realized....

How old is she? 28 or so? She currently has two songs working their way up the charts, if I'm not mistaken. If she is so victimized and traumatized by her celebrity, why is she still chasing fame? She's got enough life experience to make her own decisions by now, and her decision is to keep trying to be famous. If she were to stop putting out albums and leave L.A., the hoopla would die down soon enough. It will never completely stop, but she's bringing this shit onto herself.

I suppose you feel equally sorry for Michael Jackson, as he was even younger than Britney when he was forced into wealth and celebrity?

For a year or two it would be. If she stopped doing things to attract the attention of the camera eventually she would not be newsworthy.

 

[Barca]

I've seen the doc...it's been out for a while.

I see how she is indeed suffering...but yeah, I find it difficult to feel sorry for her.

If that lifestyle is putting pressure on you...there is an easy answer. At this point, she is an adult and is responsible for 2 young kids...she should be able to stand up for herself and her kids, but everyone is out to make a buck on her and she is letting them. The problems really are self-made.

I didn't see the show in question but I would like too.

While she may not have had freedom to go where she wanted she had opportunity to do things few others in their teens/20's could only dream about. For sure it is a double edged sword.
