Don't Care.

Don't Care.

The best way to say "I Don't Care" is to not post. ;)

On the other hand, this is a strange phenomenon.

A former celebrity on the downslide who isn't even a Scientologist. How?

Tell me why this is news again? It was top of the page on msnbc.com this morning.

that poor girl needs to go home to her mother and get herself back together again. this divorce thing is just too much for her to handle in public.

Bugger me! That's my only real opinion on this matter.

according to my flatmate - "OMGawd that's awful, it's because her hair extentions have made her bald".

honestly, i don't care though.

She's fugly when bald.

She is bald in other places too ;) Just google that :p

She's fugly when bald.

I didn't consider her attractive even with hair.

Tell me why this is news again? It was top of the page on msnbc.com this morning.

because the press as it currently exists is begging us to abolish them

She's fugly when bald.

No I think its an improvement.

Maybe she just got tired of having to wash her hair.

One big MEH!

Same reason the Anna Nicole Smith story is all over the news.

Rich famous and overendowed blondes spiralling out of control.

Always a popular news topic.

It all started with Marilyn Monroe.

Tell me why this is news again? It was top of the page on msnbc.com this morning.

Same reason the Anna Nicole Smith story is all over the news.

I care enough about my lack of caring to post that I do not care.

I heard she was joining the military.

I heard she was joining the military.

The Air Force most likely. She does come equipped with a sleek cockpit.

I think shes lost it.

i think she shaved it, it seems impossible to lose your hair without reason.

Looks better now than before. Wouldn't have thought she had it in her to shave her head. *shrug*

Same reason the Anna Nicole Smith story is all over the news.

Does this mean she's going to die soon?

She's fugly when bald.
She has been fugly for at least 5 years and before she was just doable.
She is bald in other places too ;) Just google that :p
You Googled it? o_O

*Tries to care*
*Fails*

Aaaw :(

The best way to say "I Don't Care" is to not post. ;)
Not on NSG it isn't!

Here the best way is to rant, rave, or post... well, something like this:

A former celebrity on the downslide who isn't even a Scientologist. How?
Kabbalah?

But no. She's still the same ol' trailer trash she's always been. It shouldn't come as a surprise... :)

Does this mean she's going to die soon?
Hopefully.
Looks better now than before. Wouldn't have thought she had it in her to shave her head. *shrug*
She's a retard.
ALso confirmed herself as a Chav.*nods*

Yeah thats right. She shaved her head. I think shes lost it. Your thoughts?

And life goes on as usual. Stars doing stupid things are part of the natural order, like the Celtics losing every game.

One big MEH!

MEH!

The Air Force most likely. She does come equipped with a sleek cockpit.

Zing!
Meh I barely would have tapped that when she had hair. Now is a big no-no.

I think it looks fine. Then again, I prefer women with severe haistyles and men with long, flowing tresses.

But no. She's still the same ol' trailer trash she's always been. It shouldn't come as a surprise... :)

"You can take the girl out of the trailer park...but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl."

Damn, I thought she had cancer :mad:

Can't be any uglier than she already was. Can't be any stupider either, I suppose. It's hard to go any lower when you've hit the bottom of the barrel.

She never had it.

Heh, exactly.

She could've just dropped another baby if she wanted more attention. Gosh.

She's fugly when bald.

I think if it "came down to it" we would all agree that we would still touch her.... Not that it is ever going to "come down to it"...but if it did...

Must be a slow news day.

It always is.

Must be a slow news day.

actually, I find myself attracted to her now...
So she shaved her head? Good for her!

people can't deal with her wanting something other than the fucking blonde bimbo sexbot? Even better

She could've just dropped another baby if she wanted more attention. Gosh.

Yeah. Or gotten MORE plastic surgery. I mean just look at that nose....oh,wait a second.....

Good. I hope she starts a trend.

people can't deal with her wanting something other than the fucking blonde bimbo sexbot? Even better

Then she should have dyed her hair brown. Because, unbeknownst to Britney, it's going to grow back again.

Maybe she just got tired of having to wash her hair.

She actually washed it to begin with??

Does this mean she's going to die soon?

With any luck...

The whole thing is an attention grab. She realized that people are losing interest in her (or rather, her publicist did) and they cooked up something "weird and freaky" to draw the spotlight somewhere into her general vicinity. It seems to be working.

Meh! I'd do 'er anyways, but I've been told that I'm a sick perverted freak, so that doesn't mean much.

Yeah. Or gotten MORE plastic surgery. I mean just look at that nose....oh,wait a second.....

Why can't people be normal and wait to have plastic surgery until they are at least, I don't know, 30 or something. You start going under the knife when you are already attractive then you are going to be in trouble when middle age comes along.

Meh! I'd do 'er anyways, but I've been told that I'm a sick perverted freak, so that doesn't mean much.

That my friend, is the comment of the year..... I too would do 'er, but not immediately following you, hopefully give her some resting time..

Example: Michael Jackson. A-hee-hee.

Well he didn't have much choice. He wanted to have his transformation from black man to white woman, right? :D

She didn't even do this to raise money for cancer?

Ugh, go back to the trailer park woman.

Oh so THAT'S the look he was going for. I always looked at him as a "rabid dog" sort of appearance.

Diana Ross. He wanted to be Diana Ross.

Well he didn't have much choice. He wanted to have his transformation from black man to white woman, right? :D

She shaved her head. Guess what?

IT'S HER FUCKING BUSINESS, NOT YOURS

She shaved her head. Guess what?

IT'S HER FUCKING BUSINESS, NOT YOURS

so what you are saying is that you would still touch her? Me too...

She shaved her head. Guess what?

IT'S HER FUCKING BUSINESS, NOT YOURS

Oh come on. You do something that drastic, it's bound to be scrutinized.

Diana Ross. He wanted to be Diana Ross.

Meh, he turned out more like Cher.

She shaved her head. Guess what?

IT'S HER FUCKING BUSINESS, NOT YOURS

In her chosen profession (celebrity) every little move is analyzed. She knows this. So when you see something so drastic as shaving your head, you know it is meant for dramatic effect.

She shaved her head. Guess what?

IT'S HER FUCKING BUSINESS, NOT YOURS Oh like you don't do your fair share of gossiping around here. Shut it. We're dissing your bald, freaky, trailer trash love.

Meh, he turned out more like Cher.

The nose is bang on though...same botched nose jobs on both of them.

Oh come on. You do something that drastic, it's bound to be scrutinized.

In her chosen profession (celebrity) every little move is analyzed. She knows this. So when you see something so drastic as shaving your head, you know it is meant for dramatic effect.

Why is it drastic? It's a lifestyle choice. She chose to have her hair shaved off. A friend of mine decided to have hers half shaved (which looks pretty cool). I used to have mine shaved to a number 5. Some people dye their hair. whether she's a celebrity or not, she's still entitled to privacy (and anyone who argues she's not would almost certainly turn into a hypocrit if they became famous and their private affairs were scrutinised). If she wants to dye herself purple, it's her business and no fucker else's.

Oh like you don't do your fair share of gossiping around here. Shut it. We're dissing your bald, freaky, trailer trash love.

Do I? Come up with several examples then where I've gossiped about a specific individual's lifestyle choices? You can't as you're lying. Grow up.

Awww - she's just being devoured by the Star-maker machine that produced her in the first place. Like Kronos consuming his own children, so it goes. She evidently doesn't get under my nerves to the same extent as the rest of you - but really, I'm feeling more a sense of pity for her right now than anything.

The nose is bang on though...same botched nose jobs on both of them.

So we're agreeing that Michael Jackson is ACTUALLY a cross between Diana Ross and Cher? My word, he's really gone down the shitter recently.

Now all she needs to do is get on to SNL, rip up a picture of the pope, and start screaming about destroying the true enemy

In a perfect world the media would leave her alone. I do agree that it really shouldn't matter what she chooses to do with her hair. Unfortunately millions disagree and want to know every single thing she does. It is the way it works and celebrities know this. Whether it is morally right or wrong to plaster her bald head over the news it is a simple fact that people are going to want to know. Therefore when she chooses to make such a move I can only assume she is looking to make headlines. I especially think this with celebrities such as her and Lindsey Lohan whose very existance depends on the controversy and gossip they develop.

but........the important question... would you do 'er? I think we are all voting a resounding YES on this one..

Hate to break it to you, but your very participation in this thread can be construed as gossip.

And you're really not one to be telling others to grow up.

Hold me back Dobbs...

And you're saying you've never passed opinion on anyone? You've never walked past an emo kid in the street, or a goth kid, or a guy with a crazy hairstyle, or a girl with a load of piercings, and never thought something about it? I'm thinking you have, and I think that makes you the hypocrite. We're saying this because she's in the public eye, and anything she does will be poked at and criticised - she must know this by now. Sure, celebrities are entitled to privacy - as much privacy as anyone else gets. So when she goes into a public place, she's going to be seen. It's common sense.

And aren't you the Christian who likes to constantly use your religion to judge everyone?

Yeah.

Erm... ahh, Multiland? Watch out. Neesika? Don't re-enact "Dark Sinuhue" for us.

'Zat working?

Yeah, I forgot to mention one of my other habits...burning bridges at NS. Hmmm.

Now all she needs to do is get on to SNL, rip up a picture of the pope, and start screaming about destroying the true enemy

At least she looked hot bald.

Blonde hair and brown eyes are a major turn-off for me, so... prolly not.

It's blonde and any colour of eyes for me.

I always get flack for that....but come on!

Amen, brother!
Don't worry, I get flack for it too. :p

Millions voted for Tony Blair a third time. Doesn't make it right or O.K.. Just because millions want to be nosey gits, that doesn't make it right or O.K.. what a celebrity does, as long as it does not affect the public (like the wearing short skirts in videos aimed at kids) is nobody's business except the celebrity's. It's ridiculous to say that everything a celebrity does is only aimed at making headlines - so when she buys a loaf of bread, she wants to make headlines? When she goes to sleep, she wants to make headlines? She could have cancer and her hair is goin to fall out anyway due to chemotherapy. She could like the look. She could have done it to win a bet. There are numerous reasons why she could have chosen to have her hair shaved off and speculating about it doesn't make it your business.

I especially think this with celebrities such as her and Lindsey Lohan whose very existance depends on the controversy and gossip they develop....

That is even more ridiculous - you're suggesting that certain celebrities are "property" of the public and thus we're the only ones keeping them alive by spreading rumours about them. That's seriously messed up man.

Hate to break it to you, but your very participation in this thread can be construed as gossip.

And you're really not one to be telling others to grow up.

Hold me back Dobbs...

How is it gossip? I simply stated that it's nobody's business (with some expansion where required due to subsequent posts). To suggest that trying to prevent gossip is in fact gossiping, is REALLY childish.

And you're saying you've never passed opinion on anyone? You've never walked past an emo kid in the street, or a goth kid, or a guy with a crazy hairstyle, or a girl with a load of piercings, and never thought something about it? I'm thinking you have, and I think that makes you the hypocrite. We're saying this because she's in the public eye, and anything she does will be poked at and criticised - she must know this by now. Sure, celebrities are entitled to privacy - as much privacy as anyone else gets. So when she goes into a public place, she's going to be seen. It's common sense.

Occassionally I have made judgements about people, but I try not to and when I have done, I've usually reprimanded myself for it. I used to do it loads but I've started to mature (plus realised that it's unfair to judge people without knowing more about them first hand). You say she's entitled to as much privacy as the rest of us, yet you immediately suggest that it's O.k. to stick photos of her on front pages of magazines and newspapers if she happens to be in a public place, about something that is nobody's business such as her hairstyle (or lack thereof)... so is it O.k. then if I follow you somewhere and take the piss out of (that's mock for the yanks) your face or weight and have it printed in a famous magazine? As I said, she may know that nosey people will want to poke and criticise everything she does, but that doesn't make it right.

And aren't you the Christian who likes to constantly use your religion to judge everyone?

Yeah.

No. I don't judge everyone. I try not to judge, and in fact my religion tells me not to. Course I fail occassionally, but who's perfect?

That is even more ridiculous - you're suggesting that certain celebrities are "property" of the public and thus we're the only ones keeping them alive by spreading rumours about them. That's seriously messed up man.

We aren't the ones spreading rumors. These celebrities make their own news. It is you you is taking my simple statements of fact and running with them. Celebrities understand how the press works. Right or wrong, it works in a certain way and they know it. So when they choose to flip out in public, make ridiculous public statements and shave their heads they know damn well what is going to happen and do it anyway. You can rant all you wish on how wrong it is for people to care one way or the other but the fact is that they do. So whether you like it or not the personal lives of these people is news. You really think that Britney didn't do this so that the press would go nuts?

If you take the slightest glance at Lohan's history then you know she is yet another drama queen who relishes all the time possible in front of a camera. I have no doubt people like her purposefully do things that get the attention of the press. That foolishness of her giving the cameras shots between her legs (while not wearing underwear of course) for instance?

Again, what is ridiculous about a woman choosing to have her head shaved? Plenty of women in Manchester (England) have done it. I don't know why Birtney did it - maybe it was for the press, maybe it wasn't, but what she does to her body is her business - her body, her business.

If you have made judgements about people, even occasionally, then you have no right to lecture me about judging people. Admittedly I shouldn't do it, but, as you said, no-one's perfect. I agree with the "first-hand" point - but even so, we're only judging how Britney looks with no hair, not how it reflects on her personality - because none of us know her, and therefore can't judge her. Nor am I suggesting it's ok to stick photos of her all over the press - it isn't fair on her. However, she must know it's inevitable that this will happen, and should prepare for it. This isn't a perfect world, remember.

I can't be arsed reading back, but If I was "lecturing" you, I didn't mean to. However, I stand by whatever else I said.

And as is evidenced by certain other posts, and comments on blogs and news sites, people are not judging Britney on how she looks, they ARE judging her on her personality and I suspect it won't be long before the "she must be a bad Mother cus she shaves her head!" kinds of stupid comments start to arise. And true it's not a perfect world and by now she may know that stuff like that will happen, but maybe she didn't realise that her doing something personal TO HERSELF would end up on the news (especially as she was wearing a hoody before entering the tattoo parlour).

We aren't saying it's not her business. We aren't saying it's right to spread pictures of her. We're saying that if she pulls this sort of publicity stunt, then it IS going to end up all over the news, because, right or wrong, people want to know. There are certain celebrities who do it simply for the publicity. I'm not sure if Britney did it for this reason, but it's gotten her that publicity anyway.

No. I don't judge everyone. I try not to judge, and in fact my religion tells me not to. Course I fail occassionally, but who's perfect?
Who? The guy on first? The first baseman? :confused:

You have no idea whether it's a publicity stunt or not. If it is, then why were photos only took when she was in the tattoo parlour? Seems to me (especially as she was wearing a hoody) that she didn't shave her hair for the publicity at all, but people are just making up stuff about her because their own lives are so boring.

And as I keep saying I agree that we shouldn't care what she does with her hair. But given her celebrity status people DO care and so make a deal out of it. So the cameras will be there to record this event. Whatever Britney's reasons were and whatever women do in Manchester, the fact is that in America at least it isn't exactly common for a woman to shave her head. So. News.

We aren't talking about other blogs and sites. We're talking about here. You claimed that me and Utracia were, in effect, judging Britney simply on this fact alone. Granted, we were judging her looks, but only in a light-hearted manner. She might be a really nice person, she might be a complete bitch. But we don't know that, and can't deduce that, purely on her hairstyle.

You have no idea whether it's a publicity stunt or not. If it is, then why were photos only took when she was in the tattoo parlour? Seems to me (especially as she was wearing a hoody) that she didn't shave her hair for the publicity at all, but people are just making up stuff about her because their own lives are so boring.

It wasn't necessarily a publicity stunt. But, in doing it, she must have known it would have GAINED publicity. She can't be that stupid.

She is bald in other places too ;) Just google that :p

She needs to regrow that hairdo in a hurry, she looks really bad bald. She also needs to go natural and quit shaving that beaver because that is one gnarly C-section.

Well since she already shaved one area, why not the other?

Well since she already shaved one area, why not the other?

The other end usually looks nicer bald.

The other end usually looks nicer bald.

Comparatively speaking. IMO it's too much like a baby and thus is suggestive of pedophilia. Give me Playboy's Miss May 1979 instead ;)

She's fugly when bald.
She had a sort of cheap artificial, girly beauty. No model though, and certainly not much of a looker right now...

Well since she already shaved one area, why not the other?

Who knows? An article I read said the hair stylist who Britney shaved in front of claimed that Britney was "hormonal". I bet she enjoyed the chance to make a soundbite like that.

So who knows what exactly was going through her "hormonal" mind?

the fact is that in America at least it isn't exactly common for a woman to shave her head. So. News.

not common, but not unheard of either. and honestly, shouldn't we have gotten over this by now?

not common, but not unheard of either. and honestly, shouldn't we have gotten over this by now?

Clearly people like seeing how someone can change from being a Mouseketeer and change into... whatever the hell she is. Other then the fact that we love to talk about other peoples lives so we don't have to look at how pathetic our own lives are. :)

I hope when nuclear armegeddon occurs that Hollywood is the first thing blown off the map

I think she did it because she's going crazy. The timeline of events seems to be like this: Britney checks into rehab. Less than 24 hours later, Britney leaves rehab, cries in her car for three hours, goes to a salon, gets her head shaved, goes to a tattoo parlour, gets two tattoos. Probably cries a lot more. The woman's having a mental breakdown and I think it couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Also, some women look fine with shaved heads, however, their heads aren't usually as lumpy as Spears' head. A nice smooth scalp makes for an ok bald person.

On one hand, I should mind my own business. Yes, the media's all over it, but come on - be reasonable.

On the other hand, this is too damn funny. First K-Fed tries to out her as a lesbian and claim that she has wild same-sex orgies, and now she goes nuts and shaves her head and gets more tattoos. Given how these story arcs usually play out, an agreement will be reached that gives K-Fed primary custody of the kids while Britney gets visitation and forks over $10,000 a month at least for child support, Britney goes into rehab again but walks out, and she gets in big trouble for punching a cameraman. She gets off by going to anger management, but that lasts one day.

In addition, come this summer, some other starlet will be in the news - say, whoever wins American Idol will do a duet with Christina Aguilera that reaches the top of the charts, and Justin Timberlake leaves Scarlett for Jennifer Aniston - Britney will announce very publicly that she is, in fact, a lesbian. No confirmation of K-Fed's charges about wild, same-sex orgies, but she will grow a mohawk and get a tattoo of two adjoining "female" symbols. In addition, this fall, a sex tape featuring Britney will be released. No word on who the other participants are or whether they are male or female.

And then she will try to revive her music career, likely as a punk rocker. And she will fall on her face. She will try acting, but her first picture will bomb worse than Gigli. And pretty soon, she will start dating Anne Heche, but that falls apart when it's revealed that she's seeing Angelina Jolie on the side. Brad Pitt will ditch Angelina over that, but everyone will label him a hypocrite for it. So for some time, the hottest couple in Hollywood will be "Britgelina," or Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie.

Then, in about five years, Britney will go back to men. And fall off the face of the Earth for good, but only after claiming that she can speak eight alien languages and beign spoofed on SNL.

because the press as it currently exists is begging us to abolish them

Time actually gave awards to people who were well on their way to abolishing the press.

If one wishes to claim that their own lives are their own business, then they shouldn't go into the business of celebrity. Her job is to have people talk about her and take an interest in her. You don't make millions of dollars by doing what 12 year-old girls do with hairbrushes in front of a bathroom mirror every morning for free. You don't get millions of dollars for playing childrens games, or playing dress up.

Singers, actors, and baseball players make money by being celebrities, not by acting, playing baseball, and singing. If you want to make money singing you get a couple of hundred dollars at weddings and Bar Mitzvahs. If you're really a super talent with a voice that can only be described as a "gift from God," tough shit. Good singing doesn't get you on the top 40. Formulaic crap that is hyper promoted by the RIAA does. And they do it by pimping you. And you know how you end up when you get pimped out.

The reason it is worth a lot of money is because it's a lot of stress. If Spears wants to quit all she has to do is stop performing, and we'll forget about her completly in a couple of years. It was only a year after getting fat that we forgot about Kirsty Alley, and she had to fight to get on TV again. If she can't handle the job she should stop doing it. There are legions of people waiting to take her place, and most of them sound and look better than she does. They just weren't lucky enough to have a job on the Mickey Mouse Club.

Just heard from Danny Bonaduce on Fox News this afternoon, and he had an interesting take.

Hair is used to check for drug use, among other things. Considering how long her hair was, he estimated it took her about 40 months (IIRC) to grow out. So, by cutting it off, she just eliminated the last 40 months' worth of evidence of past drug use.

Possible? Maybe.

As if Fox smear campaigns are supposed to actually be believed anyway. I'll be waiting for their next speculative tabloidlish "report" of why Spears shaved her hair.

You don't seriously believe Fox News on this sort of thing? I think Britney Spears may have lost it, but, somehow, I don't think she's cut off her hair JUST to hide drug abuse. There are other ways to check for drug users - more obvious things, like blood or urine tests. You know, real, conventional methods.

blood and urine only work if it's currently in your system ;)

Pish posh. ;)

Even so, I'm still doubting she cut off her hair to hide drug abuse.

They said in the newspaper today that it was a cry for help. She's in rehab again. She has a really skinny head...

Well, if she wanted to eliminate the evidence, wouldn't she have taken her hair with her when she left the salon? Her hair is actually cropping up on sale in different places now.

Possible? Maybe.I think the obvious death knell for this theory would be that why on earth should she care what can be found in her hair?? She's not indicted for any crime, not applying for a job, not anything. Nobody was about to take a test kit to her hair.

At the same time, cutting it off in a hair salon and leaving it there (to be sold by the owners now for a minimum of US$ 1,000,000) almost guarantees that someone sooner or later will sell a couple strands to the tabloids for drug testing.

It was Danny Bonaduce's opinion, not a "Fox smear campaign." And Bonaduce is himself a recovering substance abuser who was speaking from experience.

As for your disdain for Fox, that speaks more to your own bias than to the validity of the opinions aired on that network. Oh, I almost forgot: the DLM would never smear anyone, right?

It's not a matter of "believeing Fox News on this sort of thing." It was Danny Bonaduce's opinion, and IMO it may have some basis. And I didn't suggest that it was the only reason she did what she did, or even that I believed his theory.

And as for "believing Fox News" in general: I find them to be far more reliable, not to mention more balanced, than the New York Democrat-Times, the Washington Compost, CBSNBCABCCNNMSNBC and the rest of the DLM.

Three words: chain of custody. I doubt any test results conducted under such circumstances would be admissible in court. Tabloid reports would at most be bad publicity, and as we all know, there's no such thing as "bad publicity."

Oh, I suppose this means that Bonaduce can make a WAG about Spears motivation for shaving her head. Because of his past problem he can claim he has some kind of "insight" into her motivations. Is that it?

Your love of Fox News is enough for me to ignore anything you have to say. People who believe that "Fair and Balanced" bullshit is either an idiot or simply a conservative lackey who loves what comes off of the "news" on the channel. The outright lies that come off Fox is truly staggering. If you choose to ignore it then that is certainly your choice, making like an ostrich by sticking your head in the sand is easier then realizing what is truly happening after all.

Yeah, the idea that there is no bad press is pretty silly. Spears is being torn apart by the media. Her career, such as it is at the moment, is taking a serious hit.

In a country where Martha Stewart can go to jail and come out an even bigger and richer success, there is no such thing as bad press for celebrities.

Some former pop princess decides to shave her head? Who cares?! People die all over the world and on Monday all I could hear was young women gossipping around my college campus about poor/mad/surprisingly pretty Britney Spears. It's amazing what'll make headlines. If more female celebrities decided to pull harmless (her hair will grow back) stunts like this in the name of some real issues then we might get somewhere.

Okay, so admittedly there might be something wrong with Ms Spears (hence checking herself into rehab), but the best thing to do would be to leave her alone. She's not demanding that the press follow her around, nor is she attending premieres with a shaved head.

It's funny how it can be fashionable for teenage males (well, amongst other teenage males) to shave their heads, but when a woman does it it's an outrage.

What, I only sold your pics to one measly tabloid and already your complaining? Sheesh, with that thin a skin you'll never survive in Hollywood.

It's not the selling, it's the tabloid! Jeez, the National Enquirer? Headlines like "I'm having an alien baby" and "Who's the mysterious new friend of Elvis" with my pic below? Aw man! That's just... bad PR, that is! :gundge:

And where's my cut??

Please, by all means put me on your ignore list. In fact, let's make it mutual.

BTW: if I had no other reason for watching Fox, the fact that leftie/libtards get so pissed off by it is more than enough reason to watch :p

I hate to see someone like her in a downward spiral.

She is young and naive and out of control. She needs a good trusted friend to help her out and steer her away from the press and vultures making a living off of her path to suicide.

I never considered her particularly talented or gorgeous-but she achieved the American dream-has fame and fortune at her fingertips but still cant be pleased with herself or her children.

I hope she can slow the insanity down and get a hold of herself ,control her life and clean up her act.

I tell you, my feelings will be so hurt if you put me on your ignore list. Truly.

Though it does warm my heart that you can admit your bias. Fox is truly a conservative station and at least you can finally admit this. Though I think that everyone without that bias is pissed off about that so called "news" station not just who you call "leftie/libtards".

erm isnt she just...you know...attention seeking?

erm isnt she just...you know...attention seeking?

only if she is OK with losing custody of her children. she has 2 kids under 2 years old. her husband is filing for emergency custody.

More attention seeking?

C'mon guys...she's just...'misunderstood'
Seriously though, I do think she does want attention, but only because shes going absolutely ape shit and i give great respect to the husband. He's doin the right thing...

she doesnt need to shave her head to get attention. she is brittney spears, she gets attention by leaving the house.

that's just it, she used to.

The teenage teenyboppers who were fawning over her when she came out are in their 20s now. Her popularity and fame have been slipping.

she doesnt need to shave her head to get attention. she is brittney spears, she gets attention by leaving the house.

she just wants more attention then usual then. She wants the wholeworld to know...she certainly seems to have suceeded on this forum...The whole world is probably wondering whats going on...Except in Africa, perhaps. Oh and most of Asia. Minus Russia. And pretty much all of the East...Ok Europe and America are probably wondering...

Why?

Respect to her husband? He is an incredible douche but I can certainly understand his actions in this case.

I think K-Fed may be smarter than he looks. After all, he was hitting Britney when she still looked ok, spent her money, and then when she started looking like a chav on meth, he left her.

Oh please, as if anybody but the National Enquirer would have bought them!

Cut? What cut? I had to pay them to publish the pics!

And he used the publicity brought on by their marriage to set up his music career. It certainly wasn't built on skill.

He's trashy and gross, and a miserable person, but I'd never call him stupid.

Where the hell is Britney's mother? Seriously.

her parents took her to rehab. twice

both times she walked out the next day.

there is only so much you can do with an adult child.

She's attacking cars with umbrellas now... That's... interesting...

I must say, I don't care, but there is something about watching a complete breakdown taking place... Like the good ol' watching the trainwreck...

Though it was always just a matter of time...

I just had to post a gundge, it's been so long :p

Yeah, it would be kinda poetic, but she's a more interesting case, seeing as how she's been so popular once - the fall from the top is so much more dramatic, not to mention that the distance to the bottom is further...

There is that. Britney actually has some talent unlike her overrated (ex?)husband.
