To me it's more like "very stupid". Not necessarily Lindsay's stupidity (she is very young, she is an addict and IMO, she does not have a serious support network). Now, I don't know if I really believe the drinking part - who knows? What I do know is that this very young lady (is she even 21...

I wish Britney well, I do. But I think she has a huge uphill battle and her support people (family, friends) better be in a position to really help her. I hope she doesn't go the way of the "Lindsay Lohan Rehab-Lite" program. I just love how Lindsay gets out of rehab & two seconds later is...

There are a bunch of different parts to this Britney Dateline interview on YouTube...this is just one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq89IKOf6UE

Yeah, I hear you, SCMom. I don't think she was using though when she was pregnant with baby #1. And after he was born, I don't think there was speculation of her using then (as a new mother). Then she got pregnant with baby #2 and, again, can't imagine that she was using during pregnancy (doubt...

Angarella...I agree with you. I went through detox for pain-pills and all they gave me was clonidin (sp?) and a mild sleeping pill at night (I say mild because when you're an addict you can take stuff that would probably kill another person & not even have much of an effect on you!). Although...

Hi Southcity...yes, I also was addicted to narcotic pain pills - and you are absolutely correct. It takes a long time for your body to be "normal" again. Of course, it all depends on how long you were abusing, how much you were taking, etc. I do wonder though how much of what we hear about...

I have a question ...... You would think that a place like Promises would have a very strict confidentiality policy with their staff. This place caters to high-profile people & celebrities - so they are equipped & used to dealing with media attention on their patients........ so I find it hard...

I saw that too - interesting. I just hope people don't think that when she gets better that it's then time for her "big comeback". While Britney may love to be an entertainer, I don't believe she can handle this type of extreme fame. Can you imagine what it must have been like for her to...

Exactly! When I was in rehab for the pain-pill addiction, they do extensive psych examinations, run all kinds of tests (blood, etc.) - you're right - these types of "diagnosis" would certainly not be concluded in a couple days. What bull$hit.

For the life of me I cannot imagine how doctors, treatment professionals, etc. could let this leak. This is very priviledged information. Further, this facility is used to treating high-profile celebrities and the like - so I'd imagine utmost privacy is an extremely high priority for a place...

17 is still a minor child! And, I guess this is just my opinion, but in a million years I would never consent to allowing my minor daughter to pose on a national magazine in a sexualized manner clad in only a small pair of underpants! Frankly, I don't think it makes sense when you say Britney...

I also agree that Britney was/is a very "average" looking gal. Not to say she's ugly or anything - but I never thought of her as a beauty - or even interesting. And she can sing no better than the hundreds of Miss America contestants over the years. Britney was a creation: packaged, marketed...

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here. I certainly would not call what we have seen with Britney a "slump". This is very serious and very sad. I also do not agree that her mom or anyone in her supposed support system has done a "great job". I think her parents - who are supposed...

I blame the parents in general - and in this cited instance as well. If I am correct, Britney was still a minor child when she made the "Baby One More Time" video. I had lots of "ideas" when I was a teenager (in the '80s). Doing bongs in my bedroom with my friends was one of them. But my...

I agree with you that this paparazzi attention is a double-edged sword for celebs - but I think certain celebs have aggressively courted this attention - and others do not. Look at Reese W, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlet Jo, Gwen Stefani - there are many talented young women out there who are famous...
