All Things Britney Spears Part 1

Britney Spears topless in a pool with a college kid

She is like an out of control teenager! I don't care what she does, however, when you decide to be a mother, regardless of your income, and in her case, 100 million, life is one big party, those kids need a stable home with loving parents, and she seems more interested in herself! The attitude and lack of regard when she went to the vitamin store, in Malibu shows how out of it she is:

1/ she hit the nearby car 2x
2/didn't leave a note on the car she hit
3/chatting consistently to the photogs about "a party in Brazil and you're all invited"
4/did not wear a seatbelt when leaving the parking lot

In her case, money does not by intelligence. She needs to go back to school and get an education and in addition, take parenting classes!

Lindsey/Paris/Britney/Nicole and other Celebrity Trash thread.

LMAO!!! Good title!!!!!

 

[close_enough]

I think that she thought she wanted them. Or the idea of them. Now that she has them, she is tired of them and can't so easily get rid of them like one of her puppies. I really feel sorry for those little guys.

same here...i think she thought it was the 'in thing' to do, when she got pregnant.....i don't think she had any idea what it takes to be a mother...why should she with nannies & folks to back her up?...i feel sorry for the two little boys also..

I think that everything Brittany does is blown out of proportion for the sake of gossip and media.
Being an adult with another adult in a hot top is not illegal or even bad parenting if her children are somewhere safe being taken care of.
I further contend that she would have a better clue as to what being a good mother is if she had one herself.
I am not saying she is some great mom ... clearly she has made mistakes but I just don't know if every sensasionalistic story should be taken at face value.
I don't think forgetting to wear a seatbelt makes her a bad mother ..its like reaching for things to criticize her for when clearly she is a young confused women who probably feel that those around her only care for her insofar as she makes them all money.

Good idea to merge all her threads. In fact, I was thinking of possibly making a

Lindsey/Paris/Britney/Nicole and other Celebrity Trash thread.

Celebrity Trash- LOL. Very good title!

Agree. But getting into a physical fight with a photographer and throwing a baby bottle at him while holding her son does make her a mother of questionable skills and a very bad role model for her children.

GREAT post, Amraann! I totally agree. You hit the nail on the head, for sure.

Well said!

I also wanted to add that when I was Britney, Lindsey, etc....'s age, I did every single questionable thing I've ever seen them accused of doing (and some I haven't seen them accused of doing) or photographed doing (with the exception of having a child). The difference between my wild 20s and their wild 20s is that I didn't live in a fishbowl where my bad behavior was documented for all the world's entertainment.

Eventually, I grew up and became a productive responsible member of society and they can too.

All of us who read about their antics on a regular basis are helping keep them trapped in a sick situation. If we truly cared about them or their families, we wouldn't support the machine that grinds them up and sells them like hotdogs on the street corner.

But I think many of us get to feel better about our own car wrecks by salivating over the train wrecks of others. It's a lamentable but prevelant characteristic of human nature, but we should at least honestly look at the fact that we contribute greatly to their insanity.

Believe me...I have NEVER had any train wrecks like Brit has. I would guess to say most here haven't had the wild kind of life she has.:hand: Sounds like you had quite a rebellious youth if you think her behavior is the norm.

I was no saint but you bet when I turned 24 and had my first child I was WAY ready to have him and didn't hit the club scene leaving him alone or WITH a babysitter. My husband and I went out for a nice dinner now and then but we both wanted to be home for those late night bad dreams, "I'm hungry" , or just knowing they (yes another little one came along) were upstairs fast asleep and loving having my family together.

In my opinion she's always been like this, she's just stopped listening to those that kept her grounded.


I do hope she gets some help because those little boys could use a mom that actually stays home.

I didn't say it was the norm, just that it was my norm and it is the norm for more than few others. I know/knew some relatively mature 20-year-olds, but I'd say the vast majority of 20-year-olds are just trying to figure it out and don't truly have the life perspective to put things into place.

And I doubt many 20-year-olds (even the "mature" ones) would stand much of a chance at all with millions of dollars at their disposal and people fawning all over them. It's not normal or easy to have the sort of life Britney does - and even if she wanted to leave it, I doubt she knows enough yet to know how to do that.

As for me, I'm delighted that I was a 20-year-old who tried anything and everything her heart desired. It has helped me become a satisfied 40-year-old who knows the meaning of what she's got and who no longer has the need to sniff around trying to fill herself with things that don't matter.

Yes, my empathy for the "Britneys" of this world comes from a place of experience. Long live wild women! - may we live to find daylight and keep growing towards the sun.

Seems as if KFed is going for full custody, with Britney's parent's blessing.

I know a lot of posters don't like Perez but his article is more in depth than TMZ's.

The problem with K-Fool is that he is only going into it for the money. I feel really sorry for those cute little boys. They deserve better parents than those two! He sure wasn't worried for his kids(first two) when he went off with Brit when Shar was pregnant with his child. The guy is a loser and only into Shar and Brit for their money. This guy doesn't want to work for a living. He is scum. Selling pictures to the press for money....

Again, another excellent post!

I, too, did wild and crazy things----things that I would NEVER even consider doing now that I am 36. Although I was quite "rebellious" and did what I wanted, when I wanted....there is NO WAY someone who didn't know me then would even guess that I was wild and crazy. I am a happily married mother of 3, have a very successful job and career and rarely, VERY rarely, do I ever go out.

And I know many other very successful, seemingly 'vanilla'-type people who were just as rebellious and wild as I was in our youths.

I can't imagine if I was critiqued and photographed for every simple little tiny thing I did---it would be a nightmare.

I know that I've said on these boards that IMO, KFed is just the lesser of two evils. I agree with you that he is probably more interested in the huge child support he'll get than actual parenting. Honestly, I see his mother or Lynne helping out a LOT. He's what I refer to as a "good time daddy". He's probably fine for playing with them for a couple of hours and then handing them off. Shar insists that he's a great father and I'm sure he is, when he's actually with them. But at this point in time, he seems to be mentally stable, which is a far sight better than what Britney is at the moment.

He's a gold-digger, for sure.

Yeah....don't you feel sorry for the little guys? F-Fool is a doper as much a Brit is. The only difference here is that he sees a chance to swoop in for the money with the disguise of being the better parent. Wonder why Brit couldn't or WOULDN'T pull herself together for the sake of those kids? It's like watching a train wreck. SO sad!!!!

I absolutely feel sorry for those precious children. I've got several years on Britney, so I may not be "qualified" to comment on this, but I just don't see how she can behave in such a way that would jeopardize her custody of them. Now I am not one of those people who think that once you have a child(ren) that you have to sit at home and crochet and quit being who you are or quit your hobbies/interests. Maybe scale down some in some areas, say drinking and partying, lol. I like to have a drinky every now and then and if I weren't so fat and tired, maybe would like to go out dancing every now and then. But SEVERAL times a week? No.

Honestly, my and dh's world revolves around our son and I was probably one of the most selfish people on the planet before. It was "all about me". Not anymore, it's all about him. Dh and I are wanting to go on a trip for our anniversary but I can't stand the thought of leaving him for more than overnight.

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a gush-fest for my son, but it just baffles me at how she just doesn't seem to put their needs ahead of her own. I agree with southcitymom that she's sowing some wild oats (my interpretation) and that her every move is scrutinized. But she's 26, not 18 and has 2 children to raise. Time for her to grow up.

I agree. You are mature and put the needs of your child ahead of your own needs.

Brit is 26 with two children. It's time to stop acting like a child herself.
