Originally posted by OliverAt work, we were talking about how she should just save face and retire. Shirley Temple retired after a successful career, and it probably hasn't hurt her at all.
yeah I'm not too sure that saves her much at this point. Kinda past the point of no return so I say continue going batshit crazy and at least make a few bucks off it. Worked ok for Anna Nicole.
And then she died aged 39. Not sure why people want to see another woman follow her example.
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow
I know I am about the oldest fart here and this is entertaining in a sick kind of way, but enough. This child is seriously messed up. I doubt at this rate she can make it to 31 let alone 39.
How many celebrities go apeshit until we just get bored? I think she and the rest of this bunch have one problem. They crave attention, they are the machinations of hype machines, they have little if any talent (please, she really doesn't have much), and they are emotionally immature and intellectually bankrupt.
Please don't blame the press, they do this crap for the attention. If anything, blame us (me included) for craving this crap.
Sorry for the rant but with all that is going on in the world Britanny and Anna Nicole just don't deserve all the air.
Being nearly as old as (Dr.) Dirt myself, I agree with his sentiments. If we didn't watch the entertainment news programs and tabloid trash, these things would go away. But give the people what they want and they want to watch other people do stupid things or say stupid things. It's entertainment in a warped sense. I also agree that Spears has very little talent and she's keeping her name and face in the headlines by pulling stunts like this. It seems like she could use some help.
Spears reportedly checked into a Los Angeles in-patient facility. This comes after she shaved her head Friday — what some have speculated was a public nervous breakdown.
Wow, who would have thought that Kevin Federline would wind up being the most well-adjusted of the two?
Oh, you might also enjoy this: the American Hockey League's Syracuse Crunch have offered Britney a "quiet weekend getaway" by inviting her to attend a hockey game, claiming that in quiet Syracuse there won't be paparazzi around for 100 miles.
Uh, dum-dums, first off, she's in a rehab center; secondly, by making the press announcement instead of contacting her privately, you're guaranteeing there will be paparazzi who would show up should Britney attend.
Of course, she won't, and of course that's not the point; the Crunch are simply trying to get their name in the mainstream media. Still, I have low tolerance for people trying to profit on others' screwed-up lives.

There is a theory going around that she shaved her head to avoid drug testing. Hair can be tested for drugs used months ago, and maybe she doesn't want a long history of use coming up in any custody hearings.

Just got my copy of US Weekly in the mail yesterday. I haven't read the associated article yet, but on the cover is a picture of Justin Timberlake palling around with Kevin Federline. Guess K-Fed hasn't fallen on hard times just yet. Britney on the other hand..
Originally posted by wmatisticOk so this just in, she has yet again checked OUT of rehab after a 24 hour stay. Must be all clean and sober now.
Oh and EWOnline said she went looking for a tatoo parlor this morning but none were open.
I'm thinking she may not make the weekend.
Good grief. The conspiracy theorist in me says she checked into rehab to get a free, non-criminally-binding drug test. Once she found out she was clean (and therefore K-Fed couldn't try to take away the kids), she checked out to go back on her merry chaotic way.

I dont know about all that. She could've just paid for her own drug tests without having to check into and out of 2 drug treatment centers within a week of each other.
Sigh. Not sure how accurate any of this is, especially the part about her walking into oncoming traffic, but regardless this is getting very disturbing.

Well the source is the National Enquirer so probably not at all accurate. Especially the "rushed to the hospital" thing. I'm pretty sure it would have been widely reported had she been admitted to a hospital, as much attention as has been on her since shaving her head.

Good point, but I only point to that article because it was the first print verification I could find. I originally heard the story on the radio this morning (MJ Morning show on 107.7 here in the S-T-L). That probably doesn't count as "widely reported," but at least it's another source. I actually linked to another article before editing my post which pulled the story of the Reuters wire, but there were too many popups on that site.
Leroy, am I understanding your CNN.com link correctly? She's back in rehab for the THIRD time now??
Does it bother anyone else that the two top stories for the past week and a half have been Anna Nicole Smith's death and Britney Spears' breakdown? It's a sign of the Apocalypse for sure.

Well, to be fair, your "political" threads have kinda sucked.

Of course, if this was John Kerry, it would incontrovertible proof that he's mentally unfit to hold office. cause he ain't Number One! ;-) (or is not going to steal the election by just one vote) FAIR AND BALANCED! the media RULES! FLEA
