Forbes list of celebrity faces: Britney Spears no longer sells tabloids

Brit may be herstory,
But she still got some fine ta ta's

Yo baby, I be talkin's 'bout it, now.

Let me preface this commentary by stating I am no fan of the music of Britney Spears.  But for what ever reason, mostly hype promulgated by the media and exploited by her handlers, she became "Super" popular and along with it, a relentless barrage of paparazzi and "Page 6" sensationalism.  This for an immature teen, in combination with weak and unguided or insensible parenting and selfish promoters, producers, and likely friends, was a recipe for something she was quite incapable of dealing with effectively.  Sure, some can handle it well, few though.  But to watch as this child turned adult was mercilessly inundated with the superficial glitz of super stardom, unyielding media attention and only god knows why, recording industry popularity slide into personal chaos while everybody just watched and drooled to report it is a sad testimony to both the people who for enormous profit put her out there and the media for gloriously documenting it.  This is a child of pop culture, a notoriously inept measure of talent and as fickle as a politician running for office. As a result, her demise was treated as fodder for the purpose of selling papers, sound bites and pixel bites.  It’s like standing around while someone is choking and debating how to or who should help while the person expires. 
 
I am personally insulted and grossed out by the cartoon depiction of Britney Sears by Sean Delona in the 1/3/07 NYPost.  http://www.nypost.com/delonas/delonas.htm My goodness how we so superiorly berate and denigrate people for the amusement of others.  It is precisely for this type of typical behavior by our media that we continue to stand by and accept as valid this sort of treatment of people.  Does Britney Spears deserve to take responsibility for her behavior?  Emphatically, of course, in part.  But where were her parents, her friends, and her family who no doubted basked in the sun clamoring along side her while watching her fall?  What happened to, “It takes a village?”  What happened to compassion?  My child is at a conservatory earning her BFA in theatre.  I can only hope that she never becomes as “Popular” as Britney Spears has so as not to be slammed as ferociously by the media as she has been if she even so slightly screws up.  But I also believe in my heart, as does my wife, that if she, “makes it”, she has the strength to overcome the mass media manipulation that poor Britney was incapable of dealing effectively with.  Who are we, or should I say you, Sean Delona, to cast such a malicious light on her?  God forbid someone should be waiting for you to trip up.  I guess a spoonful of arrogance and hypocrisy help the “mediasin” go down!
I personally wish her well.

I really never paid any attention to Britney Spears until her meltdown. Now, I just can't get the "angry shaved head w/umbrella'' picture out of my head, and I've found myself watching the "Britney" headlines ever since. I don't know the girl, however she seems to be hitting bottom with drugs and alcohol pretty fast.

I hope the girl gets sober before her life ends tragically. She needs serious help, and if she has any real friends they should facilitate an intervention.

I do not have Britney's email address, but I have some things to say to her that may be helpful if she will listen. I have read some of the comments above, I agree with most of them and my thoughts and prayers go out to Britney and her children. The help she needs can ultimately only come from One Source, though God can use her friends and family as messengers. I hope that is being done as we speak, because she is such a well-liked funny person and deep down, she HAS to know that she needs to hold on to Jesus and don't let go. He will help her in place of councelors who will never tell her this. There is only one way out, and that is to get on your knees, alone and talk to God, accept Jesus as the payment of your sins, very easy and will not cost her a dime. The Holy Spirit can walk right beside her if she will ask. The Spirit knows she will slip up, as all humans do, but just confess, receive Gods love, and it will get easier each day, she will love her life, and she can move forward in her career, take care of her children who are blessings from above, always asking for God's help and listening to her Helper.
