Overall, I?m not much of celebrity hound. Yeah, they?re somewhat interesting and I do sneak a few peeks now and again because they?re just everywhere these days, but I?m much more curious about what movies and TV shows are being made than which celebrity is boinking which other celebrity, or which celebrity?s nanny. I just don?t care.
And if I see another article about Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie I literally might vomit and then stick a fork in my eye.
But Britney. Good, God, Overall, I?m not much of celebrity hound.

But Britney. Good, God, what the heck has happened to you?
Eesh.
There?s a picture of her the NY Daily News today with her smashing K-Fed?s car with what looks like an umbrella. And funnily enough, I thought, this might not actually be so bad for Britney. Maybe she?s getting close to hitting bottom, and maybe that much closer to going someplace where she can get her act together.
She has actually gotten so out of control that I feel bad for her. I do believe wholeheartedly that she?ll be just fine in the long run, but watching her completely degenerate has been something to see. And it?s completely understandable. She went from being a 16-year-old tease that drew the lust of many men?and likely many women, too?and parlayed that into a $100 million war chest.
Unfortunately, you can only wrap yourself in so many anacondas while writhing around on stage in tight leather panties and your boobs hanging out before your marginal talent just can?t squeeze out the hits anymore. And yet she was being described, in at least some circles, as being the next Madonna. Like anybody could be the next Madonna. Talk about unrealistic expectations.
I?m not sure what Britney ever thought or felt, or what she thinks and feels now, but her case should be?but most likely won?t be?a cautionary tale about the trappings of early fame and fortune. Britney got way too big way too fast, which would be difficult for most anyone. But she started her rise to fame at 16 (or was it even younger?). Do you remember being 16? Those were pretty rough days for me, and if I had the whole world watching my every move while I tried to navigate those waters, I?m not so sure I would have held up for very long.
So as much as this surprises me, I?m rooting for Britney. I genuinely hope that she can find a safe place to cleanse some of her demons, that she rebuilds herself in a respectable manner, and that she finds some humility and grace. Amazingly, Britney?s a mother of two, and I don?t think she wants them growing up with her being known for her skanky, no-panty crotch shots.
Britney still has a long way to go as a person. I just hope that she comes to a place where being Britney?human being, mother?is more important to her than being Britney?Pop Tart. I want to believe she?ll make the right choices.
I really do.
