Britney Spears is back in the news again for all the wrong reasons :(

What do you think about it all? What about her poor kids?
Ive just been listening to Jeremy Kyle :rolleyes: on our local radio station (didnt realise he was a dj!!) and people were emailing and texting in saying where is her mother or her father? Or even her management team ? Surely those close to her could see how bad things had become and tried to get her the help she clearly needs before it turned into the stand off the other night where she wouldnt let her kids go back to their dad.
And a couple of weeks ago her 16 year old sister announced she was pregnant :o
Is it being pushed into the fame spotlight at an early age that has done this to them?
Who knows maybe the pressure and everything else at such a young age took its toll its very sad to see someone go that way and her poor children it must be horrible for them
I saw this on the news last night and was horrified to see the press trying to snap pictures of her through a window as she was taken away they could of shown some respect i know that stars have to expect being hounded by the press but for pitys sake they need to leave her alone :(
I think its really sad:(
The children should obviously come first and they are so young but they are put through it and seeing it all judging by this latest incident
Britney obviously needs help big time , it seems people that " have it all " in the long run have the least
there seems to be a lot of young mega super stars around these days and non of them can have a near normal life or seem to be able to cope with it :mellow:
there is a young lady who needs help :( and the good thing is that she has the money to get help....no NHS waiting lists for her ;)
but she needs to want to be helped first, a very sad state of affairs :( and again its the kids who suffer

I think thats where the problem lies Beth - until she wants and sees she needs the help nobody can help her.
Its all over the tabloids today that she is addicted to a drug (its called Clenbuterol) they give to horses to make them leaner which supresses appetite in humans - she started taking it after having her kids to lose the weight and get back to how she looked before :(
I think it is really sad to see how she has deteriorated over the years :(
Who knows, maybe she would've been someone who ended up like this if she was 'ordinary' but I suspect it's more the 'showbiz effect' that has done this to her. Very sad :(

This is very much like the situation with Amy Winehouse and Lyndsay Lohan, they obviously have very significant personal problems, but still they continue to put themselves in the public arena, where they are exposed to the paparazzi, and for as long as vile newspapers and other media continue to pay the paps for their nasty little pictures, these women will have all their problems laid bare for us all to see.
I have no idea why the people round Britney arent doing more to help - unless she is refusing to listen to them. You have to want to help yourself at the end of the day. Maybe she hasnt got to rock bottom yet.
Its a very sorry state of affairs, I do wonder if it is 'too much too young'. unfortunately she has kids now and they have to come first. she isnt capable of taking care of them right now, thats for sure.
I am sick of hearing about the likes of Britney (and for 'Britney' you can substitute 'Amy', Linsay', 'Pete', 'Kate' ...) .
I wish the media would just stop reporting on them and giving them the oxygen of publicity. Then they'd be forced to get themselves sorted out as a 'normal' person.

Agree with you here mazza, but then some of the public just love a 'feeding frenzy' just leave the poor woman alone, she has issues like everyone has at one time or another, geez give the poor woman some slack

Britney's on Legal Lockdown meaning that she can't leave Cedar Sinai hospital for 72 hours and is on suicide watch both for her's and everyone else's protection. If magazines etc. were boycotted for the paparazzi pictures then these situations would not be publicised and maybe these young stars would learn to behave.
