I know what you mean CC. I really do. And I really belive that a person can only change when they are ready too but she has had people trying to help her and she keeps refusing it. I know she had to grow up fast but ALOT of people do. I did and so did a lot of people I know. She doesn't have the luxury of time to work out her s**t. She has two little boys that need their mother and they way she is acting just screams of someone who doesn't care. She knows something isn't right and she still won't get help.
Anyone remember Britney Spears?

Spiley anyone?!
I hope she sorts herself out and is able to be a good mother but if not K-Fed seems to doing a good job. Fair play to him.

Silence! I Keel you!
Britney seems to be in denial which would explain why she is refusing help, and is rebelling through her behaviour to proove a piont, it maybe due to a lack of control in her life, who knows? I just hope someone out there can give her a push up the backside, I mean what is her former husband doing about it? except looking after the kids? nothing.

Two sides to every soul.
I pity Britney, I think she obviously has serious problems yet no one in her life is forcing her to seek help. I hope she can get better but I seriously think if she doesn't do something she'll be dead within the next year.

Well just a day or two ago she went car shopping in her wedding dress... and has lately been talking in a british accent. And her "people" are claiming its because she has multiple personalities. Whether thats true or not i don't know.
If this were true, shouldn't they be seeking some help for her? I mean, doesn't her family care? I feel sorry for her, i feel like no one cares enough to want to do anything to help her. I really think she needs to be court ordered to get some help. She's really going to run herself deeper into the ground.

Okay, SO many opinions about this, and I'm really happy it was brought up.
First of all, let us all agree that at the height of her glory days, Britney was good at what she did - performing. She had two extremely successful records, her concert tours were sold out in every city, her dancing was impeccable so we could get over the little bit of lip synching every now and again. She was a millionaire by the time she was twenty. Also, she was freakin' America's sweetheart when she was dating Justin.
Personally, I think the badness REALLY started when she stopped putting out records and went on her little hiatus a couple years back. She was out of the public eye as far as her music was concerned. So the only way people could see Britney would be in the gossip rags and Entertainment Tonight. A bad sign. Once your public life is the only focal point, ala Paris Hilton, things are bound to get bad.
THEN she had her quickie wedding in Vegas, and that was when we got our first taste of CRAZY Britney. After that, the press couldn't get enough. She was doing so much crazy stuff left and right, we didn't know where to look. Part of me thinks it's a craving for attention. Like, she HAS to have that swarm of paparazzi around her or she won't feel relevant. Or at least I think that's how it started. Then, K-Fed happened. We were scared for her. This guy was NOTHING like Justin. Then she got pregnant. Then she never wore any panties... Then she got pregnant again. Then she shaved her head bald? Then she beat up an SUV with an umbrella?? Wait, what? Britney Spears? Hit me baby, one more time, Britney? Huh?
I really just think, as with a lot of superstars that started their careers as children, she never got to live the fast life as a teenager. She had an image to uphold. Now it just seems like she's making up for lost time. Not intentionally, but I think all the stress and fame really GOT to her. And no, it doesn't always GET to other stars, but guess what? They have strong familial bonds and good people around them to guide them through rough times. Britney has no one, and the ones she DID have, she let go like her mother and her manager of ten years. Her husband, who we all thought was going to bring HER down, looks like father of the year compared to her.
Honestly, she needs help. Or else, unfortunately, things could take a turn for the worse and she might end up dead like Anna Nicole, who's story is pretty similar to Britney's...only a little more twisted.
Sidenote, her new song 'Piece of Me' really reminds me of old Britney. Favorite dance song at the moment. Keep it coming, Brit!

How can you feel bad for her? She did it to herself. Drugs, alcohol, partying. All her. She refuses help even though its obvious she needs it. Her kids were taken away and she did nothing (and is still doing nothing) to change it. In fact shes probably getting worse (if the latest rumours are true)
Its all fun to read about though 🙂

the drugs and the partying, sure, her fault. But she seems to be suffering much more from mental illness... depression with the kids being taken and all that, she may be even a little psychotic, among other things... and no one ASKS to feel a certain way. Trust me, ive had experiences, and you don't ask to deal with these issues.
And for the record, i just feel bad for her as a person, but in no way do i care about her career... i always thought she was terrible and a fake when it came to her music (and it just gets worse from the stuff ive heard lately).

So she should get help. Its not like she doesnt know. And so you know, Ive had my own experiences and Im beyond aware that you dont ask for them. It doesnt mean you cant do anything about it though. But she seems to be refusing help. That is her fault. Depression from her kids being taken away? It was her fault her kids were taken away, psychotic? DMost likely. Again, she should get herself help. Instead she's getting more crazy.
Whether she asked to be how she is or not is irrelevant, I just cant feel bad for her.

It's human nature to feel bad for someone in trouble no matter how they got into the situation.
An addict, whether that be to drugs or attention or whatever, isn't going to let anything get in the way of their addiction. So the theory that her losing her kids would be incentive to get help doesn't hold up. She's not going to be the one who asks for help, because in her mind, she's being completely rational and "living life". It's going to take someone around her to push her in the right direction. She doesn't have anyone like that. She doesn't have a parental figure in her life that would have her best interests at heart.

thanks thats exactly what i mean. sometimes people arn't in their right minds to get help on their own, others need to force them into it.
I think she has lost it completely. You would think that she would have grown up throughout this last year, but it seems that just as she starts to get her career back on track she has another pregnancy scare. I've not checked the media to see if she is pregnant or not but the last I read she was picking up a pregnancy test for her and her ex, the journalist, I think it was. She needs some serious help!
I thought maybe the passing of Heath Ledger my have given her the jolt of reality she needed. I obviously didn't know him and wasn't exactly a huge fan but I have been thinking about him all week as have alot of other people I know. I thought maybe becuase of the business she is in and the life she is living it would give her a kick up the arse but she is still going around like a waster.
