Poor Britney ???

I don´t know about you guys but I feel sorry for her. I mean she has been in show business since what age and now look.
What about her kids ?
I was also thinking about her dogs.
Her famlily should have stepped in a long time ago and taken control of her.
Or is it all a publicity stunt, that has gone wrong.

Its the same with Amy Winehouse.

I know that this kind of stuff can happen to anyone but to have to live it through the public eye, well.................

I feel sorry for her but then I don't! Some of the things she has done to grab attention are amazing but also a cry for help. Although her parents get a lot of bad press, I think she needs to ditch the "boy toys" and let her parents help her. I also think the press needs to back off. But I am guilty of sneaking a peek at the tabloids at the grocery store.

I think she wants somebody to love her for the person she is on the inside not the outside.

But then I step back and wonder how someone with such a great career could fall so far. Goes to show money doesn't buy happiness.

I hope she gets the help she needs.

At first, I didn't feel too sorry for her but I do now. She's lost her boys, she kicked her parents to the curb which thankfully are back....hopefully to stay for good. She definetely needs professional help and I truley hope she gets it.

I think she needs to go to a town to get away from the press and anyone else who may bring her down. And get some really good help

She is a grown woman with a couple of marriages behind her and her own children. I think she is past the point of needing to rely on her parents to make things right. If they were capable of such great parenting skills she wouldn't be where she is now! Nor would her 16 year old sister.

She needs to take some responsibility for her own actions and start acting like a grown up. If that means seeking professional help then so be it. It's not like she doesn't know where to find it.

The press needs to leave the girl alone although they won't since she is providing them with a lot of work. She needs to stay HOME and get herself right. She has to face reality. She isn't "normal" and everything she does is seen and judged by so many people.

Some people are attention seekers. Even bad publicity is still publicity in some fashion. I guess it is true what they say.....Money doesn't buy happiness!

I agree completely. Where was the parnental guidance when she needed it? Soaking up Britney's limelight that's where. I shall cast no stones however, because my kids are only 6&2, so while I'll do my best, I can't guarantee that they'll stay out of trouble.

OK now I do feel sorry for her. She was thrust into the lime-light, no 'real' childhood and as far as I am can see no boundaries or rules from her parents.

I also think the photographers should leave her alone, image you being carted off to hospital and you have all the gossip magazines sending photographers to get your picture as you are in the ambulance!!!

I know she has 'courted' the photographers before but how can she go anywhere when they are always there, sometimes within a foot of her. It was plain to see months ago that she has some sort of 'mental' issues - I hope that she gets the help she needs now, and can start to put her life back together again.

I truely believe she is seriously ill. I feel sorry for her because she truely doesn't realize how ill she is, especially if she is bipolar or manic depressive. A lot of manics do not realize they are manic, and their highs are so good they don't want to change it, but when they hit a low they really hit a low. I really hope she gets the help she needs to control her disorder, whatever they diagnose her with. I think once she gets the treatment she needs, she will see how ill and out of control she truely was.

P.S. Sometimes I wonder if she doesn't have multiple personalities because she is a different person almost everytime she is in public.

I agree 100% and I'd like to add that I think there are other famous people in Hollywood who are far worse than her and aren't scrutinized as much as her. The media feeds off of her because she is so naive and vulnerable. There is no amount of fame or fortune that would come before my kids.

I didn’t feel sorry for her until today when a judge granted her father conservatorship over her. If they are taking away all her rights she must be really loony! And if she is truly nuts then that is really sad. I’m glad it’s her father who has the power. I think he is much better than her mom. The dad is a private chef and he has always made sure he didn’t live off the coat tails of his famous children. The mom on the other hand seems like a true “stage mom”.

What’s disgusting is that paparazzi boy friend and her “manager” taking advantage of her by having her buy them cars and everything else. And I think that boyfriend wanted to get her pregnant so he could ride the gravy train like Kevin gets to.

Hopefully they'll keep her committed for awhile this time.
