Ok, I've waited long enough and I can't stand it no mo

What about that Britney? I'm actually starting to feel sorry for her. Unless, as suggested by one blogger (I have no life, so I stalk celebrities on perez hilton, ok?) that Britney's "meltdown" was possibly an attention grabber. "Some" (whoever that is) have suggested since her sister got pregnant and took away her lime light, this was an orchestrated move on Brit's part. Honestly, I think the girl is sick and abusing the drugs and drink. All illnesses, but she has got to have someone close and working in her best interest to get her some help. Hopefully with this hospital stay and her Dad finally getting involved, maybe, just maybe, the girl will get straightened out. I'm trying to decide between sympathy or don't give a damn. She is becoming the American version of Amy Winehouse. And that's sad no matter how you look at it. Liz (who has no faults and is completely perfect. even if she is a food addict)

Update Update Update!!!! Cedars Sinai is "reporting" that she is more than likely bi-polar and not on medication. "they" are saying she is not on any chemical substance and over dosing, but it is a mental illness and can be placed on medication to get her stabilized. I hope she's not "using" non rx medication because it and/or alcohol can only mess up the bi-polar medication. This "diagnosis" really would completely explain her actions for a long while. I just have it in my head (and I hope it doesn't happen) that the girl won't make it through '08. I'm going back to bed under the electric blanky.

well hmmmm.....not sure if they say she has bi-polar disorder on how i feel because i know people with that disorder and it is a very scary and touchy situation.....so if she does i hope and pray she gets the help she desperately needs..... IF NOT and it is recreational drugs, etc....then she needs help also! Just lots of drama and thank God her kids are small enough NOW to not see all of this (they will see the reruns and video when older though)..... i hope your intuition on her in 2008 is wrong.....would not be good.... now, they showed lohan in europe sucking on wine....yes, we all have our problems (including my eating disorder)....recognizing the prob, getting help, etc. is the solution....

As the parent of two bipolar people [they are adults now], I would believe this diagnosis. She has many of the indicators. With proper MEDICAL treatment, she can have a reasonably "normal" existence. I am hoping that she is able to get some proper medical help if this is the case. One of my kids is doing okay but still has the occasional episodic, irritational behaviors. The other one ended up in jail for "going along with the ride" because part of her disorder is schizophrenia with an element of unconscionability. She went along for the ride and that's what it got her. Britney tends to "go along for the ride" in many cases and, like my own daughter, she does not consider the consequences, whether for better or for worse [unconscionability]. I'm hoping that she gets the proper treatment so she can present a good role model for her sons.

i think most of us witnessed an addiction meltdown right here on line.. being in the spotlight isn't always the best.. but sometimes it does help to get things moving in the right direction. not sure what HER problem is.. mental.. drugs.. both.. many a person has been worse off than her.. and many a person better.. .. I hope she finds her Higher Power.. and obviously it's not money or fame!

i can't read this and not point out that A.) Amy Winehouse has a billion times more talent than Britney and B.) Amy Winehouse doesn't have children so it's not nearly as tragic. ok, back to your regular programming.

Ya know I agree with ya. There is a very good reason we should not stand in judgement and should try to understand anyone who's life is falling apart. I can't tell ya how many times I have found out first hand how easily these same problems can visit your own house. I do believe the apt word is compassion. Americans as a whole struggle with it I think. I hope she gets the help she needs expeically for her children. Sparky

I have two contradictory views on her: 1. She is an adult and a mother. She claims to want responsibility for her children; however, she has repeatedly proven to be unwilling to settle down and do the things any responsbile mother would do like: Stay with your children and not trust them 24/7 to nannies while you are out partying, stop abusing alcohol, and stop abusing drugs. I say grow up and act like an adult for a chance. 2. She is totally incapable of being a mother to her children. Whether caused by a disease (alcoholism, drugs, mental disorder) or by bad parenting by her mom (considering her sister - possible), she finds herself fighting battles (addiction, celebrity, lack of parenting skills) she is unable to win. I say it is sad and a terrible ending is likely. Nobody (who isn't an a-hole) wants to see this end badly (Anna Nicole); however, it seems inevitable. Peace, Bill
