Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few years, I'm certain that you would have heard about the downward spiral of former squeaky-clean, Mouseketeer, "Baby One More Time", teen sensation, pop queen, America's sweetheart blah blah blah: Miss Britney Spears.
There was the 72-hour Vegas marriage to one of her childhood friends, the K-Fed saga, the head-shaving, the kid-dropping, the reckless driving, the 2007 MTV awards lipsynching and unflattering bikini, and most recently, losing custody of her kids.
I think it has all been downhill for Brit since that infamous kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV awards (hmmm, seeing a trend here?). Girls kissing girls just for attention is a recipe for disaster.
Now everyone loves to have a dig at Britney, but I have to say, I have nothing but sympathy and, in a way, pity for this woman who is still only 25 years old- yes, 25! She has really achieved so much already and I think that is the problem with these young Hollywood starlets- they reach the peak of their career at such a young age, and then have nowhere to go but down, or to jsut be torn down by everyone around them.
Britney has had a breakthrough today though, with Britster being granted two afternoon visits and one overnight stay per week. All visits have to be supervised and I can only imagine how hard that must be for her- having a perfect stranger watch her play and look after her own two kids.
But it is a start for Brit. Another plus for the Britmeister is the fact that her new CD, "Blackout", is just about to be released and has been receiving rave reviews in American magazines and newspapers. The USA Today wrote: "Britney Spears hasn't been able to lose the paparazzi in recent months, but she does joyously lose herself in music on her new Blackout".
I think it's all upwards and onwards for Miss. B. Spears and I wish her the best of luck. Seriously, who are we to judge her or try to understand what it must be like to live with constant stalking from paparazzi and crazed fans, etc. Britney just needs to surround herself with good, supportive people who will help her get back to her old self and not let her run free.
Any opinions?
