Britney's Breakdown

AHHH! Talk about how horrible it was to see the meltdown comeback!!

It was oh so sad!!!!

Yes, I still like her music, lol.
But what's wrong with her!?

Lol, no I am a big Madonna fan, and I just don't know why but I feel so bad for Britney Spears, and if you are rude to state something like that about me, you should know better. It IS your opinion, but it is rather flat and bare.

Just cause I'm interested in the life of celebrities doesn't mean that I don't have a life.
The point of celebrities is for them to be famous, and for us to strive to be them.

Agree or disagree, I want to hear what other people think of her "lackluster" and "horrendous" show.

Just cause you aren't interested in it doesn't mean it doesn't interest other people.
When you couldn't care for something,
don't reply.

Now, BACK TO THE TOPIC =]

Yeah, apparently 50 cent was scared poopless in the front row. she's been crap for a long time, she's being suspected of child abuse, she goes out and parties everynight even though MTV asked her to take responsibility and not do it anymore before the show, she's a mess. an overweight, i-don't-give-a-crap-about, mess.

"The point of celebrities is for them to be famous, and for us to strive to be them."

^ That's ridiculous and you should be embarrassed to support such an idea. Celebrities are not heroes, they are, for the most part, entertainment...and unfortunately, that seems to include their personal lives.

You see, the thing is...Britney has been wound up in celebrity life from a very young, impressionable age into her early adulthood, and even motherhood. She does not seek out attention anymore, but receives media bashing daily--the center of celebrity gossip--and I feel terrible for her, as one human being may feel terrible for another. At the same time, I do not pity her. She, like anyone, can and hopefully will find herself in this mess we call important. People need to stop buying magazines about celebrity gossip, stop encouraging the media to torment the 'famous.' It's pathetic and cruel. Celebrities are people, like you and me. Everyone requires a bit of privacy to remain sane. There wouldn't be a need to sympathize with Britney Spears if no one talked about her. So if you feel bad for her...Don't bring her up. Let's stop paying attention to Celebrity's personal lives. We have our own lives to worry about.

Comprendes?

Okay, so it was incredibly obvious that she was lip synching, yes, and her dancing... terrible. you can tell she did not remember her moves, probably due to the switcheroo what with the chris angel thing. the sarah silverman comments were under-the-belt hits. delivered well, yes, but inappropriate.

Yeah but you see, it's not like we're really cheering on sick minded animals to go on show with a chain round their ankle. they decided to become famous, and now they reap what they sewed. it's not the population, it's the press. if we had nothing to badmouth or be insensitive about and they weren't getting photographed left right and centre and had some privacy other than their obvious publicity and albums being released, everything would be a lot easier. but annoying men with cameras won't let up and that's just the way it is. you can't blame people judging them once and a while because when they're put on show, it's human nature to think what you think. you don't necessarily have to be crude or cruel about it, or shout it off a mountain top, but the 'mistakes' they sometimes make. i mean really. sometimes she goes outside with a dress, gets out of a car with her legs wide open and isn't wearing freaking knickers. 'celebrities' these days are ridiculous. i'm not a gossip maniac and i don't read up on HELLO MAGAZINE every morning but when it's so obvious what they're doing, it's not like people are forcing it upon them. there's people to put to blame and that's the people who impose on them. that doesn't lessen the crapness of her performance though, and she's been going out, getting drunk everynight? oh, that poor girl, that poor poor girl. 2 kids to take care of and half her family and nannies are saying how irresponsible she is. yes, what a poor human being. no wonder idiotic money grabbing kevin federline is getting a heads up at child custody. neither of them are worthy of being parents.
but psfht, whatever. nothing we can do by sneaking around and not mentioning her by 'respecting your pity for her' on the internet to get her on her feet. if she really wanted to get her act together, she would've done. instead she's being a spoilt brat and raving it up before any serious work is being done. still though, she's better than kate mccann.

Okay, word mix-up. When I said "Strive to be them" I didn't mean to be THEM, I meant to be a celebrity (some people want to be one, believe it or not) and to be rich and to never be forgotten.

That's what they ARE there for, whether you like it or not or you agree with me or not. They are there to be liked and admired.

Continuee...

Oh, EXTRA has invited britney to do another performance as a "redo" kinda. I heard that on the radio.

=]

I still love her, but I hope she chooses to make the correct decisions from now on, and takes this as a wake-up call.

Dear BANGBANG,

Your claims are very controversial. Britney Spears began in the Mickey Mouse club. Was that her choice, or the choice of her parents? She was a cute little girl, who eventually hit puberty and was swept off by the Wizards of Celebration. After becoming a hit pop artist around the globe, she blossomed into womanhood...and somewhat disappeared off the face of the planet--performance-wise. She got married and had a couple kids. Do you think those actions were intended to say, "Please put the spotlight on me"? Britney Spears has issues, it's true...but when someone has problems, it is not a laughing matter, it's serious. Most of you would claim to hate pre-judgment, while you judge celebrities on a daily basis. You laugh at them and enjoy doing so, but in a second, you would most likely choose to be one. What is pre-judgment? Does it have to do with gossip? Who on this thread believes everything they read in Magazines? You continue to judge people you have most likely never met, then boast that you are not one to judge. If I am being ignorant, please honor me with your wisdom. Enlighten me.

Also...Becoming famous is NOT asking to be harassed. Yes, sadly, it happens to come with the package frequently. We all know this. Which of you would still choose to be famous? You think that somehow you can avoid, or overcome, the gossip? If you think that is possible, that's wonderful. Start fixing the problem with yourself. Don't watch Celebrity gossip, don't read it, and don't listen to it.

You believe that people feed off what the media serves, but is that not ignoble? Think with your own mind, focus on your own life, and stop supporting Paparazzi agencies. Where is the mass of Celebrity gossip rooted? Are the people who buy that crap to blame or are the people who sell it?

I think it is embarrassing how wrapped up people, especially from the United States, become in the lives of others they have never met. There are more important things and people to think about.

Stop watching and talking. Start doing.

IdTakeaBulletforYou,

Celebrities are more often mocked than admired. And really, there are better ways to be remembered than a pop icon on a television screen. Try traveling, learning and expanding your knowledge. Try HELPING people, rather than hiding behind desires of self-profit and selfish interests. It is sad how much we worship a bunch of over-paid, often un-talented hooligans to prance around. Sure actors and singers are entertaining, but are they heroes?

Define hero. Don't go to google and enter 'define: hero.' I want to understand your own impression of the term.

About her being "fat"
that's ridiculous. she looked great. her body looks great. she's a woman, for god's sake. she had two kids. women are supposed to look like that!!!!!!!!!

Two other points:

Britney Spears is NOT fat. You have visual distortion problems if you think so. She looks incredible for being a mother of two!

Also, you claim that Britney is a terrible mother because she had her young child on her lap while she was driving? Haha, my parents did that with me too! I think I've turned out just fine. Ha...then again, I grew up in Georgia, where things were much more family-oriented as a whole, and less "If I don't know you, I dislike you." It was a forgiving place, and we broke rules if we felt like it. Everything is dangerous, if you think about it. I'm not going to be a parent who flips a bi*ch whenever my kids get 1 foot out of my arm reach. Life is all about little risks. They teach us. By taking risks, we improve ourselves.

If you want to read about an every-day bad parent, I'll tell you about a young mother I watched today, outside of Jamba Juice...while drinking my Razmatazz and eating my Sourdough Pretzel. This little girl, probably about 2 years old, barely understood english and was still mastering her walking skills. She pushed one of the entry doors to Jamba Juice closed accidentally, while leaning against it for support. The mother was on the phone, about 30 feet away. She saw what had happened, and screamed, "OPEN THE DOOR!" Her daughter looked at her with worried, inquiring eyes, and plopped to the ground. Upon this, the mother ran over to her daughter, screamed "ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR, OR SHOULD I SMACK YOU?" You can believe that I was ready to hop out of my chair and rescue the little girl at this point. The woman put down her hand, her daughter, not really understanding what just happened, continued to look at her mother with a nervous expression. Then the mother pointed at the door, put her face right next to her daughter's, and yelled, "NO!" at the top of her lungs. After this, I was too infuriated to keep watching. I got up and left.

^ That is terrible parenting.

YOU GO TO BED!

Here I am, trying to make a difference in the world...attempting to influence others to think for themselves. To consider falseness. To question everything. To not care about the personal lives of those who do not really matter. And then you come along...

Work harder. I still have tons of school work to do...Time is it where you live?

You can blame the media, but it is the people who support that kind of reporting that are the problem, if people did not watch it or buy it, would it be out there? Not on the scale it is now. Celebrities are like car wrecks, morbidly, everyone stops to stare. She has problems and hopefully she straightens herself out. She is nowhere near fat either.

^ Yes! There we have it. A thinker. I completely agree with you. And I can't stand rubber-neckers!

It's only 10:30 here.

Gahhhh kill that motherrr!
i would have went up to her and said something like, ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN THE DOOR OR SHOULD I SMACK YOU?????????
lol, i bet i'll get shot by someone one of these days for my mouth.

HOMEWORK OVERLOAD.

Lizzy, you know me too well. I am sooooo stressed out. I don't understand...I feel like I'm at home doing school work 3X longer than I'm in the classroom doing school work, every week.

Yes, especially talking about celebrity life on a poetry website...we should be conversing of art, or at least of personal, deeper matters...

this topic sickens me.

I never said i thought she was a bad parent because she had her child on her lap, and i'd hate to be famous. i think she's a bad parent (not that i know, or think overall) because she goes out to clubs and parties every night. that's irresponsible in my view. nannies or not, your mother should be grown up enough to take care of you and not ease back into the "i'm a 20 year old disco goer!" lifestyle. and hey, she's been photographed reading about herself in celebrity gossip magazines too, so why shouldn't we? (sarcasm.) i honestly couldn't give less of a crap about her, and some things are true. it's like news, they don't blast out lies back and forth otherwise you'd never have any idea what was going on. i don't mean all the ridiculous rumours are true, but the custody battle is true, they can't photoshop photos into lies and they at least have to spread a little truth. i don't take spite in the fact that i find myself judging her, merely because i may come off a little insensitive, but still, no one knows me. so they have no idea how i feel about the whole topic. i'm hardly delighted when i see she's slipped up or is receiving bad press. i don't really care. i'm not the one who's famous, and even if it wasn't her choice at the beginning, it's her choice to continue writing crappy songs now. all i have to say on the matter is that there are two different types of celebrities. the ones who never fail to stay out of the spotlight, and the ones who just don't get involved. cate blanchett and people (INTELLIGENT PEOPLE) manage to stay out as much as possible, and though may be bugged on the street, aren't having 'nipple slips' and 'poor parenting' released all over magazine covers.

Most gossip does not root to truth. It roots to jealousy, dislike, disagreement, etc. It is in some way, self-serving. On the grounds you hold to be correct, you would then be claiming to agree with the court that condemned Socrates.

And photos tend to lie. Quit fooling yourself.

Britney's cool...I love that little diva

Stop speaking and ridiculing eachother, oh my goodness! Read what other people say and add something of your own ABOUT THE ISSUE or don't speak at all.

We don't need morality talk about HOW we say what we say, just SAY IT!

If you don't use "Britney" in your reply, as far as I am concerned, your post is not about the topic.

And I don't really have any hero's, mind you.
I know what the term means though.

So, back on topic.

you don't dictate what is or isn't to be said in any discussion, you're not a moderator nor are you an administrator. so stop acting like one, and besides it was you who challenged others opinions....tete te

We went on a tangent from Britney, to the media. They are interconnected.

If you choose to never branch off and expand your mind to the bigger picture, so be it.

Ciao!

I like her. she's bashed too much. i feel bad for her. she has talent. think about whats shes been through

"Okay, word mix-up. When I said "Strive to be them" I didn't mean to be THEM, I meant to be a celebrity (some people want to be one, believe it or not) and to be rich and to never be forgotten."

^ Instead of prancing around on a stage singing stupid generic songs how about doing something truly great: run for president, cure cancer or AIDs, become a fireman/police officer/soldier.
Or how about devoting your life to helping make peoples lives better: become a counsellor or a teacher.
Live your life and love that special person.
The person who is truly great is not admired by millions but is loved by those who know them.

Haha and ten bucks says Dave will be picking up the Playboy/Penthouse issue she's in.

On the other hand, it's funny how MTV thought Britney was "ready" when clearly she wasn't, as anyone with a brain could tell from picking up any tabloid. They obviously exploited her because they knew she was going to bring in ratings. And she did.

I don't like her, useless piece of life.

^see, I don't know why everyone is so harsh. There are a lot of musical artists I dislike and even despise and I'd never say that...why? Because I don't feel like many artists of this generation have contributed to either the well-being or degradation of society. And no, Britney's effects on "teenage girls" does not qualify as being a negative effect.

Alex, i'm beginning to like you.

I'm so totally buying her new CD.

And her song is really catchy.

I must be the only one who didn't think she was fat, i'd LOVE to look that good in underwear (which is really what she was wearing lol) and im not even overweight myself.

^agreed. i'm not like a britney fan by any means but i have to admit that if her new songs are anything like "gimme more" and "toxic" i'd be willing to take a listen. and SERIOUSLY the woman popped out two children! the people who are criticizing her weight have NO idea what they're talking about.
