TMZ disgusts me. And I don't even like celebrities. I hope she gets the help she needs, however. It is heartbreaking to see someone's mental problems laid out like so much fucking entertainment.





Note to those mags and rags --- who the hell cares???? It's a family issue.
I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.
Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

What a mess... Like, take every embarrassing drunk thing that you've ever done, multiply it by 100 and then publish videos of it worldwide. *cringes* I'd go off the deep end, too. (Or, stop drinking.)
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.





^^^^^Exactly! I was so sad to hear about it. I wish she didn't have kids so they wouldn't be traumatized by all this crap. It looks like she has mental problems waaaaay beyond addiction.

she has had so many chances, she's going to end up going to jail, or a mental hospital.
hmm I just heard that she tested clean for drugs and alcohol. i feel really really bad for her right now. i've been in the same position...just not in front of the world, with everyone fucking making fun of me for having a mental illness...
<<---- idiot.
My MOM told me the reason she went "crazy" and shaved her head was so they couldnt do drug tests on her hair.
Where the hell am I? And why is my 50 year old mom more "in the times" than me?
i feel so bad for her. none of us could ever possibly imagine what she's going through, not with that much media attention and the whole world just waiting for you to fuck up. it must be awful.





We all knew it was coming. It's so sad. I wonder if they're going to finally reveal what the fuck she's on. I know she's getting tested for alcohol and drugs at the hospital and I've been so curious about what she's been doing.
ETA:
WORD. She could have assistants do her shopping, get groceries, get food, etc. There's no reason she has to drive around LA all night long. And half the time she's just driving aimlessly.
Poor girl. I have nothing but sympathy for this situation. She seems to me to be a nice person. I've never heard her say a bad word about anyone. I think she is just in way, way over her head and simply isn't mean, cold or tough enough for that business.
Music and celebrity isn't the same as it was when she started her career and I don't think she is cut out for the way things are now. My guess is because of that she started using escape methods to deal on a day to day basis. Now it's all gone beyond her control.
She has an illness. And it needs to be addressed properly. I try to stay out of threads about her. But i feel for her. And sure hope she gets the much needed help she deserves.
Too be honest, what she is doing isn't all that different from millions of other American women, they are just not celebrities. That's why I don't understand why everyone is acting like her behavior is just so *gasp* shocking.
For anyone who grew up in suburbia like I did, the whole idea of the mentally wacked, pill-popping, country club mom is nothing new and almost seems the norm. Hell, even the Rolling Stones were singing about it almost 40 years ago with the song "Mother's little helper".
She needs help. A lot of it and fast before she hurts herself..or worse, the kids. One of the kids was taken away in an ambulence...they dont say why





^On Showbiz Tonight they were saying neither of the kids was hurt, but I don't know why they'd take him by ambulance instead of just releasing him to his father if nothing happened.
When you look at those pics of her being taken away in the ambulance its really scary. She just looks out of her mind. It is sad



it was on prime time news in Australia....
Isn't there more important things to show on the news?
Reminds me of the chasers when the did a segment on what is the most important thing in the news today: http://youtube.com/results?search_qu...&search=Search
I'm the daughter of a bipolar mother. I've spoken to many children of bipolar parents and we've commented on our hypersensitivity to other people's moods and behavior. It's like we can sniff out bipolar, probably because of the caretaking position it forces you to be in.
It's my opinion that Britney is bipolar. The illlness typically has a late twenties onset. The alcohol and drug abuse is self-medication.
She was admitted on an involuntary status. Usually that means you're in for two weeks minimum. I hope no exceptions are made for celebrity. She needs to be where she is.
I am sad that there is no one caring enough in her life to have her transferred to a place like McLean in Cambridge or Haven in White Plains.





I just saw some new pics from last night, and they had her legs in restraints. Is that the usual method when it comes to things like that?? There was also a pic where she's smiling very happily but strangely. It kind of freaked me out becuase all of us are going to watch Britney Spears go down, down, down. And it's happening really, really fast, ya'll.


According to reports, she was restrained because she was going between extremes, laughing crazily and then becoming hysterical.
I feel bittersweet about the clean drug test. On one hand: she wasn't on drugs or drunk when she had her kids, and that's good. On the other hand: that means this is a mental problem, and will take serious therapy and CORRECT medication to help, which I don't see her doing.
I feel for those babies so much. I can't imagine their fear and confusion at all of this. As for Britney, I feel less sympathy towards her, but I do hope she grows up and gets all the help she needs.
I'm sure the baby was fine, usually they have to go to the hospital just to get checked so that doctor's are 100% sure they're okay before they get released.
"take it from me, to be a stripper, all you need to have is no talent!"




The situation is just incredibly sad. I wonder how long until Hollywood makes a movie out of this whole mess? I hope Brits sister can be a better mom than she is.
OK, Watching E! and theres
Breaking News: Britney Loses Custody
She lost visitation rights to the kids.
The whole front page of is Brit Brit
"[Federline] is awarded sole legal custody and sole physical custody of the minor children," Gordon ruled. "[Spears'] visitation with minor children is suspended pending further order of the court."
Hope this is the kick in the ass she needs to clean up her act.
Dlisted says that she had one of the kids taken to the hospital because he had a bruise on him and it didn't come from her. Both of the kids are okay, though.





They will restrain you if you are being really unpredictable. It's one of those 'rather safe than sorry' type things. For the most part they tell you they are going to do it before it happens, but if you're on another planet it doesn't really help the situation.
And damn, if *this* isn't her rock bottom then I don't know what is. Seriously, her situation can't get that much worse than it already is. She lost her kids, she is in a mental hospital against her will, and everything else seems to be in shambles.
