DO something! Make your own decisions!
You better do it now, Brit, because you won't always have the luxury to have people do what you say.
Missed Opportunities and all.

Thank you for helping this Aussie insomniac out in my hour of need!

I do not want to be cruel, but. She is an adult, and she chose to be a mother and then proved she is very bad at it. I understand that her childhood was a sad mish-mash of celebrity where she did not get a chance to be a child and that she is obviously mentally ill. I have many mentally ill friends in the same way as she is, but they are also complex, wonderful, mature individuals who struggle and do not get free passes.
I have yet to see any aspect of Britney's adult personality that isn't sad, and gauche, and self-indulgent, and self-involved. And yet also something of a blank slate, without complex morality, or, well, complex anything. I do feel sorry for her, I suppose; she will probably never be whole. But pity isn't a kind emotion. And she's no longer a child.
I wish her no ill, but I do wish she'd fade away from the spotlight. (And the picture above and that smile! Disturbing)
But maybe as a culture we continue to reflect on her what we want to see, and who we want the poor thing to be.
In other stuff: Seal and Heidi Oh So Cute! Ridiculous.

I don't think mental illness after bearing a child (i.e., PPD) proves anything about her capacity as a mother. She's sick, with an illness.
That's like saying, "well, the cancer after her marriage made her a bad wife."

But I don't think mental illness should be a dismissal of all her issues; as screwed up as she is, she doesn't deserve to be that simplified. (In good and bad ways) OF course, I believe the constant simplification of her throughout her life is a massive part of the problem.

Britney is going to be at the tree lighting. I vote for flip-switching, I really don't personally desire her cutting into the performance time of the Jonas Brothers, Beyonce and Tony Bennett, thanks very much.

What does this mean?
Has a big booty?
Is good in bed?
Please translate, my transatlantic Jezzies!
