<description>Its like a reality show entitled:
&quot;Hand some white trash $50MM and see what happens.&quot;

As Kyleska correctly pointed out, Britney wanted to be in the public eye. She craved it and made millions of dollars doing so.  Unfortunately for her she does not get the choice to &quot;turn off the cameras&quot; when she wants.
If she did not want to be on the front cover of every magazine, come good or bad fortune, then she should have bowed out gracefully after making her first album. She would have then been the one hit wonder that everyone exected. She would have forgotten and she would be left alone.

Put another way, she made the decision to be in the entertainment industry. People, myself included, are getting a lot of entertainment out of seeing her run her life down the toilet. She has attained her goal even during adversity - well done Britney!

Aside from all this she has no idea what pressure is.  She should try raising a couple of kids on a $15/hr salary and see what the rest of the world has to put up with before she starts crying about how horrible her life is. There would be no time for fancy hospitals and doctors to answer her every whim. A swift kick in the oversized ass might be what she needs more than anything.</description>

<description>FRIDAY 23RD FEBRUARY 2007

TO: Ms.Britney Spears
FROM: A concerned US Army Medic/Psychiatrist Dr Elliott Snot.

With regard to your recent acting-out behaviour Ms.Spears:my Clinical diagnosis is that you are crying out for help!?Am i right!?The reckless overt display of acting-out your craving to be desired as a ,&quot;pop princess&quot;; your two recent failed broken-marriages;your state of denial over your well-being in-and-out of-rehabilitation facilities!?And now the attention-seeking shaven-head or have you recently become a Buddhist!?Although Buddhists do not stain their bodies with rather sleazy-tattoos!?Hm?
Don&#039;t get your knickers -in-a-twist over it Ms.Spears!(should you be modest enough to wear any!?Hm!?)
Here is my Clinical Diagnosis and suggested treatment for your obviously extremely-distressed and dishevelled state!

CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF PATIENT:

ACTING-OUT BEHAVIOUR OF RECKLESSNESS AND OVERT SEXUAL-DISPLAY SOMEWHAT AKIN TO &quot;THE FLASHER&quot; IN SEEDY BROWN MACINTOSH
ACTING-OUT BEHAVIOUR OF RECKLESSNESS IN RELATIONSHIPS RESULTING IN 2 FAILED MARRIAGES WITHIN THE SPACE OF 4 YEARS?
GETTING-IN WITH THE WRONG-CROWD:ACTING-OUT BEHAVIOUR SIMILAR TO THE TEENAGE PROBLEM CHILD WHO STARTS TO HANG WITH INFLUENTIALLY -MANIPULATIVE  AQUAINTANCES OF DUBIOUS-MORALS.


TREATMENT PROGRAMME:

TO START WITH: A THOROUGH READING AND WORK-THROUGH AS-YOU-GO OF RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC THERAPIST JOHN BRADSHAW&#039;S EXCELLENT HEALING BOOK FOR ADDICTS AND THOSE AFFLICTED WITH  OTHER FORMS OF RECKLESS ACTING-OUT BEHAVIOUR: 
HEALING THE SHAME THAT BINDS YOU:JOHN BRADSHAW

WORK THROUGH IT MS.SPEARS AND MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU  BUY YOURSELF A CUTE JOURNAL TO JOT DOWN YOUR FEELINGS DAY-TO-DAY!?HM?(PAPER-COVER IT YOURSELF FOR THAT SELF-HEALING THROUGH ART -THERAPY TOUCH!?)

MOVING ON NOW!

DR ARTHUR JANOV&#039;S PRIMAL THERAPY CLINIC,
LA-(SOMEPLACE IN)
USA.

THIS IS A  VERY BIG-STEP MS.SPEARS AND  NOT  ONE TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!
YOU MAY NOT BE READY YET TO FACE-UP TO YOURSELF AND YOUR FEELINGS!?HM!?
BUT WHEN YOU FEEL READY-THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN!

MAY YOUR JOURNEY IN LIFE BE ONE OF HEALING AND ENLIGHTENMENT!

Regards,
Dr. Elliott Snot.(US ARMY MEDIC PSYCH M.D.)

<description>Victor, you sund like a great person. I&#039;m probably Blogcritics.org most bitter critic when it comes to celebs, but I never wish for their deaths or enjoy seeing them in rehab. </description>

<description>I&#039;ve never been all that happy to see any celebrity turning their own life into a train wreck. If a serious opportunity to help one of them get out of such troubles ever arose in my life, I&#039;d probably do what I could to help.

I like to think I&#039;d be equally willing to help, even if I didn&#039;t happen to enjoy the movies, music, or whatever the person had done to become a celebrity -- but of course I&#039;ve never yet had the chance to prove that.

Seeing as how I&#039;m not among the world&#039;s rich and powerful, I usually just don&#039;t spend much time thinking about celebrity trials and tribulations. Maybe that makes me a little odd, but I feel no loss for my shortage of schadenfreude.</description>

<description>Thank you for recognizing how vicious the press and critics have become toward Britney.  It scares me how so many people, who don&#039;t know her would wish such bad things to happen.

I&#039;m a huge fan of Britney&#039;s.  I love the girl she use to be. I love her music and she is an amazing performer. She&#039;s the only act I&#039;ll pay $100.00 a ticket to go see.

I don&#039;t care if she ever records again, I want Britney to heal herself.  

God Bless her and her family.</description>

<description>I think it&#039;s a lot like driving by a car accident. These celebrity party girls are a train wreck, and we&#039;re just slowing down to watch the accident get worse and worse. Jealousy? sure. But it&#039;s really just entertainment. Like Nascar wrecks, hockey fights, America&#039;s Funniest Videos, etc...</description>

<description>People love to see the downfall because the subconcious knowledge that many of these celebs are more f&#039;ed up than the average person, yet somehow rose to the pinnacle anyway. I think that triggers resentment that turns into &quot;joy&quot; when everyone finally figures out that the emperor has no clothes.

Take Britney, for example: forget for a minute the veneer that the starmakers wrap her in; what you&#039;re left with is a girl from rural Louisiana who barely finished high school (using tutors at that) who never got a chance to learn real life on real life&#039;s terms like the rest of us.</description>

<description>Very thoughtful article. People love diving in other people&#039;s misery. It makes them feel better about themselves for some reason.</description>
