Britney Spears - new hair cut

grapfruit wrote: News story

Did you guys hear about this? I do feel sorry for her. She's obviously depressed, and probably dealing w/some post pardom depression.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Bah... i know a couple girls who've shaved their hair off... had nothing to do with anger....

amynicole21 replied: I think she's losing her mind

cameragirl21 replied: i really don't feel sorry for her...she's had every opportunity that most people can only dream of and her talent is only marginal IMO.
it's what she's chosen to do with these opportunities that led her to where she is today...Madonna is going into her third decade as a superstar because she made the right choices.
being famous is hard, i'm sure but Brit has had enough guidance and love from her family and fans to know better IMO.
JMO of course.

coasterqueen replied: I know, I was totally shocked. I saw this late last night on some show and I was floored.

MoonMama replied: I agree with Karen I was way shocked! I really think there is something there more then anger. Something big time bad.

I have to slightly disagree with that, I really don't think Madonna made that great of choices. Granted she did not shave her head but she did do a lot of other things that were way out in left field and didn't exactly make her a "role model" I think Britney is off her rocker I mean she looks like a "Manson Girl". It seems the more famous you get the more obscure you are because you are looked at that much closer. I agree with you that being famous is hard etc but I just don't think Madonna is the example of "how to do it" is the best one...nothing against you Jennifer, that is just my opinion.

boyohboyohboy replied: I do feel sorry for her. She is still very young, and honestly I think living in the show biz life doesnt make for good understanding of how life works....she got mixed up with a bad boy, and decided that everyone was wrong about him, and he was misunderstood, and now that he has shown his true colors and she has these two kids, life is looking pretty bad to her. I think she wasnt ready for the big time responsibilites she has now, and she also is nursing a broken heart in front of the whole world, while her so called ex husband is living it up in front of her, and I am sure it hurts even more...

she is human, and think how hard it is to go thru a divorce yet alone at her age, with two kids, and still be in love.

what a mess

stella6979 replied: I don't feel sorry for her one bit, I only feel sorry for her kids. Many young people have babies and learn they have to grow up, but she just doesn't even care. She's trash and those kids should be taken care of by someone who will put their needs first. Something she knows nothing about.

jcc64 replied: I'm sure it's very difficult to live in a fishbowl, but she put herself there, and certainly enjoys all the perks and benefits that go along with it. The girl will never have to work another day in her life if she so chooses. I have very little sympathy for celebrities who whine about the relentless attentions of the public while simultaneously thrusting themselves in front of the limelight over and over. She's a spoiled, narcissistic, immature woman who made choices that mandate that she get it together already. She brought 2 children into the equation, and it seems to me her attention or interest in them lasted about as long as one of her hair styles.
There are plenty of us who've struggled with PPD, and yet, I don't make the connection between that and running around w/o underpants, passing out wasted in casinos, etc. Get help for the sake of your kids, and get out of our faces already.

stella6979 replied:
HAHAHA! I couldn't have said it better myself.

luvmykids replied: I feel sorry for her the way I feel sorry for anyone who is obviously struggling, regardless of the reasons. Am I fan, no but I do have compassion not because of who she is or how she got here but because I think she is really screwed up and needs help.

hopefulmomtobe replied: Does anyone think this is a plublicty stunt by her? I know they do some outrageous stuff sometimes...just wondering what you guys thought.

CantWait replied:
Lets not forget that her ex is trying swindle obscene amounts of money from her by holding a sex tape of the tow of them in front of her, and file for custody of their 2 children.

Just a little on her plate. I'm shocked, but depression is depression and she's only human just like the rest of us. Unless you've been through it, I don't think you can say what's best for her or what she should do, because if you've been through it, you realize how hard it is to get help. Her money won't help her through that.

lisar replied: I think she done it for the attention. Just my opinion though.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I heard that her aunt (on her mother's side) died a few weeks back from cancer, maybe that had something to do with it. She may have decided to remember her aunt that way, but may not have thought it through completely, she may have let her emotions get the best of her.

jcc64 replied: I too have struggled with depression, including PPD. But unlike some other chronic afflictions like cancer, over which we have little control, we can participate in our own wellness- it is treatable, in other words, if we make mental health a priority. Usually this revelation is connected with our feelings of obligation to those who love and/or depend upon us, especially our children. But if someone is so wrapped up in herself and her need of immediate and constant gratification, without any awareness whatsoever of how her behavior is affecting her loved ones, then mental wellness becomes pretty unattainable. Yes, it is difficult to watch someone spiral out of control in such a public way, but she has freewill, even over a disease as difficult as depression, (if that is in fact what her problem is), and the only way she's going to get well is to acknowledge the problem is HERS and not everyone else's.

Kentuckychick replied:
Ah... but lets not blame it all on him...

Let us remember that she
1) chose to marry a man who had already been married once and left his then wife pregnant with their infant son...
2) chose to have a child with him
3) chose to have ANOTHER child with him even though their marriage was already on the rocks
4) decided only weeks after their second son was born that then would be the time to end the marriage (not before the birth, not wait awhile... no then, over the phone no less)
5) has been acting completely childish and irresponsible ever since the divorce, partying, drinking, vomiting in public, showing her girly bits, etc...

Don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for her... she's a mess and she needs some serious help...
And I'm not trying to offend you, but I just really hate that, it hits a nerve with me for reasons I won't go into... but don't blame her ex husband for the things that the two of them decided to do together. All of that took 2 people except for the end which she opted for.

Of course she has a lot on her plate right now, but everyone acts like nothing on her plate is her fault when the reality of it all is that the only thing on her plate she didn't ask for was for all of this to be publicized. And in a small way I feel she wants even that. She needs to be out of the limelight right now. She needs some serious help. She needs to take responsibility for her life and realize that she has 2 children who need her right now and that they are her first priority.

Also, apparently since all of this has started happening Kevin has wanted nothing more than for her to seek help... he's tried to get her into rehab... and he warned people that their were bigger problems (even warned that he felt Jayden should be tested for drugs and alcohol)... maybe his intentions aren't good, but maybe they are and because none of us know him, we can't say. I just hope that for the sake of those little boys someone is there for them and just maybe he's the best person for that right now.

3xsthefun replied: I do feel sorry for her. I also think she is about have a mental breakdown. I already see the signs with what has happened with her lately. I think someone should help her, mainly her "mother" but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

stella6979 replied:
Wow! You just said everything I was thinking, only I'm not so good with words. I don't feel sorry for her though. She's the one who made all these decisions and regardless of her celebrity status, she needs to take responsibility for her actions. I honestly don't think she should even be around her children right now, with all that's going on with her. If it were any other person, CPS would have been involved long ago to make sure those kids were safe, but I guess when you're rich and famous, you're automatically deemed a fit parent.

Calimama replied: I think hair is hair. We only know what we read in magazines and see on tv. The media spins things so who am I to judge her life? I typically try to refrain from judging people I don't know.

gr33n3y3z replied:
you said it best

But I've also heard it was for a movie so we shall see

Boo&BugsMom replied:
All my thoughts exactly!!!

Mommy2BAK replied: Ya know, I used to be a really big fan of Britney, but honestly, who CAN be anymore? She's gone so far off the deep end that its really pityful. But I do hope she can get the help she needs.

Anyways, my main concern is those poor babies. Where are they when their mom is out partying ALL the time? Probably with nannies or family members... which they are probably better off with.

I heard that she did that as an act against her mother.... GEEZ GROW UP ALREADY!

CantWait replied:
If you look at my above quote, I also agreeed with Calebsmom (I believe that's who it was). I did add my own reasons as well though in addition.
