Brush With Britney

You look at the wreck on the celebrity highway that is Britney Spears, and you wonder just what happened in her formative years, what she inherited from all that genetic stuff, that caused her to flame out so fabulously.

And you start thinking about how the candy apple doesn't fall that far from the tree.

Daily Sally, who has been sharing her brushes with greatness for years on her blog, posts a beauty in her recollection of the day the 17-year-old Britney visited the AOL.com studios in Los Angeles, where Sally was working as a producer and the teen queen had come to chat. The Louisiana lollypop arrived with her mom, and the two put on quite a floor show.

Sally:

Lynn Spears was a grade school teacher. Which doesn't guarantee good parenting. But it should at least require correct grammar.

Blah blah blah.

Is it really a surprise to anyone that her mom is partially responsible for all of this?

Britney was never particularly beautiful or talented. Now people have finally caught on.

you know what's coming next: a nude photo session, probably in "Playboy".  

After that, some embarrassing straight-to-video movies, probably rivaling Dana Plato's work for sheer banality, followed by a similarly pointless suicide.

Is there not anyone in this wide, wide world that's strong enough to stop talking about Britney, and instead put their arms around and embrace her.  Is it not ovious that she is lost and in pain?  After all, she is only 25 years old, and still have to bring her boys up.  Losing one's way is not that uncommon.  I wish there was something that I could do to help.  It's wrong to continue to put her down.  Let's rally around her and help instead of being entertained by her down falls.

Hey Joan
Embrace her? Do you think she cared about any of this when she became famous? Ever hear of the saying you reap what you sew? F her, life is bag of shit sometimes, deal with it. 
I don't talk about her(until now) nor do I care. 
Enough said.

Joan,

She put herself in the spotlight.  And last time I checked 25 means she is an adult.  

Why don't you go embrace O.J.

I have a family friend who is a Doctor who treated "Mom" - a lot of work was done there too. Silly.

Joan,
  Thanks for having the courage to call for love in a love-less world.

Doesnt Matter,
 Learn the English language. The phrase is "reap what you sow."
Enough said

As you can plainly see her sister is being groomed to take her place.  No surprise. They packaged Britney, produced her and put her on a shelf, and now is is not selling and just like any other product she is being replaced with the new and improved.  Don't be so naive.  You know how it works.
