Is anyone else tired of the current "Britney Spiers bashing". Scott Mills is talking about her on his show (what the girl does next, etc., etc.).

For God's sake, someone get her some decent advice and therapy, and leave her alone. I'm very saddened to continually read all the stuff surrounding her, as her latest album is very good indeed, and I think, given some serious professional help, she could get right back out there again!!

Britney Spears is in a very dark place but she can only help herself. I don't agree with the tabloids constantly waiting for her to do something bad, i think they should leave her the hell alone and let her sort her life out her way.

She was thrust into the limelight and megastardom far too early and thus lost a crucial part of her childhood. I agree people (as in the media) probably need to leave her alone and that she needs help.. but it's her kids I most feel sorry for.

[Vivienne]

I feel equally sorry for her and the kids.

Its not just the implications of her childhood, or lack of it - she's been a pampered hollywood megastar her whole life, where is she going to learn how to deal with having to do things she doesn't want to do, or waiting for things, or dealing with people on anything approaching a normal basis?

I wouldn't want to make excuses for her behaviour, if it is indeed as it has been reported - but I do feel very sorry for her, because she seems to be a creation of her circumstances.

One thing I wonder - just because she has been deemed unfit to parent, does this automatically mean that Kevin Federline is a wonderful daddy? I'd love to think yes, but I doubt it. Forget African babies, I think Angelina Jolie should adopt them, they are probably in just as much danger. Actually, she should adopt Britney too, that would be a real humanitarian gesture.

Yudster, you've taken to writing incredibly long posts of late. Have you not got a lot of work on?

[Yudster]

I type fast - and I'm in a meeting. Well, a telephone conference. it's boring. I grunt every now and then so they know I'm still awake, it's keeping them happy so far.

She has an album out just now that wasn't doing so well in the charts, and a new single - why am I not surprised that she is in the papers every five minutes.

[Bonanzoid]

It's not our fault she is a nutter, she keeps giving the tabloid fuel to follow her. She's only got herself to blame.

Saying that, I am fed up hearing about her and her trivial life, but still, it's her own fault.

[Sunny So Cal]

I'm sick of it. And now her little sister, too? I never understand people's interest in crap like this. Who cares? Seriously. Do people actually go running to the stands to spend money on tabloids to read about the misfortunes of trailer trash? Good God. Pick up a book.

[catherine]

God no, i have never, ever bought a magazine for its front cover or a newspaper for its advert on tv about certain celebs exposed.....

I will take this one step further and agree with a certain Mr Mills here - there was an underground carpark that her exboyfriend used to get in. She would have avoided the press that way - why did she faff about at the front door?

I smell a publicist.
