Britney’s Boo-Boos Go Bye-Bye.
Okay, you knew I couldn’t stay away from this subject for long. So, once again, we tune into the “Britney Spears Sideshow”, a show tanking fast and that has no laughs.
 Oh wait, I guess it does.
Here we see Brit, smiling and laughing just hours after turning over her children to Dad-Fed, plus having endured a busy day of tanning, shopping, and wandering around the DMV. Yes, viewing audience, she is wearing a smile…and not one of those fakey, I-gotta-look-smiley-for-the-paps smiles, either. She’s just not that good of an actress.
Friends and neighbors, she looks happy. Plain happy.
That, or she is stoned out of her gourd.
Actually, I am voting for a little of both. There has been more than one media outlet report that, after being dropped off at the Peninsula Hotel (I swear, on accident I have typed “Penisula Hotel” more than once, but that does sound right up Brit’s alley, wink wink nudge nudge), her bodyguard was dispatched to obtain some drugs for her.
Who knows…maybe she is relieved. Birth is the easy part, it is all the years afterward that keeps Loving Care in business. And having two children under the age of three is brutal. Britney wanting custody of those boys in the shape she is currently in is a completely selfish act, motivated purely by her needs and not those of her children. If she had any mothering instincts in her at all, she would let K-Fed keep them while she got her life back together.
I think Brit found out something that all parents learn, once the novelty of a newborn wears off…children get in the way. They want to be fed several times every single day, and if you skip a day they tend to get quite vocal. They pee and poo all over the nice carpet unless you put a diaper on them, and then their little tushes get icky. They don’t know not to play with the red nail polish on the beige couch, or not to throw the dog, or that knives are not pacifiers, or that the pool is not a big mirror that they can walk on. You have to install things like childproof door locks and safety outlets and baby gates. They don’t go to sleep when you want them to and they wake up when you don’t want them to. They take your drugs and throw them in the pretty blue water in the bathroom. They think your cigarettes are Pixie Stix. They interrupt you during sex and you have to explain why “Uncle” can’t find his clothes. They never stay where you put them and you come home from the club only to find them under the sink with the cleaners. On and on. No wonder Brit couldn’t handle it.
And as far as her continuing efforts to get her license? It is reported that she finally has a temporary one:
California Department of Motor Vehicles Public Information Office Jan Mendoza tells Us that Spears, 25, picked up her license today at the DMV office in Van Nuys. Though it is a temporary paper license, it is valid until a permanent one is mailed.
However, she still seems to be living in LaLa Land:
[Friend Sam] Lufti explains that the Monday decision to give K-Fed custody was merely the result of some scheduling conflicts that had kept Spears from taking her court-mandated drug tests. “There were scheduling conflicts and some errors in communication as to times and places for drug tests, etc., but they’re all squared away now,” he tells Us, continuing, “[Spears] is hoping the judge will reverse the order Wednesday, now that she is making steps to follow through with what they asked.”
Blah blah excuses blah. If there is any justice left in the world, the judge will see this for what it is….a huge sucking sound, coming from Brit’s general direction, and aimed right at his judicial seat. Oh sure, she’s attempting to comply…NOW. Just because she is making a general attempt at compliance doesn’t mean she has changed. Getting her license is the easy part of the judge’s orders. But you can’t brown-nose your way through a court-ordered drug test or parenting classes, and if this judge is worth his paycheck he will see right through this act.
All facetiousness aside, Britney is a danger to both herself and those boys. I think that once whatever she takes/smokes/snorts wears off, she is hit with the overwhelming nature of her reality, and that makes her take more and more. She is selfish to want those boys. She doesn’t have their best interests at heart…only her own.
She is an overdose waiting to happen. She is Anna Nicole Smith Jr., the only difference is age.
I sincerely hope that someone can get her help before it is too late, and the show is cancelled for good.

That was amazingly astute insight on a subject that is now starting to give me nightmares.
I genuinely have dreams of this crazy woman dying – and I don’t think I can live through another ANS so soon.

For some reason ANS didn’t bother me much, and I didn’t quite understand what the public’s fascination with her was. Still don’t quite get it, actually. To me she just looked like a cheap bimbo gold digger, and I couldn’t identify with her at all. But I think if Britney dies I will feel a pang in my heart, if only because she is so young, and just misguided. I know she’s kind of a selfish asshole though. A lot of celebrities are – they develop a massively over-inflated sense of self-importance. But still, it’s sad to see a young life thrown away. Britney reminds me of a sign I used to see at the local corner store: Dear God, please give me the chance to prove that winning the lottery won’t change me. She just struck it lucky, and was not strong enough to handle it.

At least (and I’m only being semi-facetious) ANS managed to raise a child into adulthood.
And “scheduling conflicts” — WTF??? What schedule? Her tanning schedule? If I have to be at work, but have to go to the dentist, I take the time off. If I have to be at work and my kid is sick, I take the day off.
Aren’t tanning salons open pretty much all day? It’s all about priorities. If you’ve got a court-mandated drug test, you freaking re-arrange your schedule to fit that in and pick up your latte after.

Mitsu I am with you. Hopefully someone will step in – at some point – because I don’t think she has one person out there who really cares all that much what happens to her (enabling cousins and publicity seeking aunts aside) she really seems to be on her own. I think someone will write a book about her one day exposing some pretty sad stuff. Oh well – I guess it’s just a good thing that she no longer has custody of those boys. My heart goes out to them most of all.

Just heard this on perez:
Has the Lord heard our prayers???
A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday told Kevin Federline that he will keep full physical custody of his children.
Britney was granted conditional visitation but those visits must be monitored.
The judge also ordered that both parties must appear at the next hearing on October 26th. K-Fed was at Wednesday’s hearing. Britney was not.
Meanwhile, OK! magazine is reporting that Spears will check back in to rehab this weekend.
AND, she’s making the wise choice of going to rehab far far away from Hollywood.
How far?
The Caribbean!
That’s right, OK! claims Spears is checking in for treatment at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre in Antigua, over the weekend in an attempt to get custody of her children.
This would be the second time this year that Britney’s been at the Crossroads Centre. She checked in for just over 24 hours in the winter.
Spears also spent a month at Promises rehab in Malibu.
Britney is reportedly planning on checking into Crossroads on Saturday, October 6th.
“Britney’s team has been working closely with her attorneys to figure out a way to get the babies back from Kevin,†a pal of the singers tells OK!, “She is surrendering herself to rehab for treatment of depression and alcohol so that there is no questioning if she is drinking or missing any future tests.â€
They forgot to mention drugs. Girlfriend is a drug addict.
Let’s not sugarcoat this!
She also needs some hardcore psychiatric treatment.
Brit’s friend says, “She’s got to pull her life together or else she’ll lose the kids for good. She will do whatever her legal team and those closest to her thinks is best if it means she gets Preston and Jayden back. She’s getting the help she needs and everyone is hoping she goes through with it this time.â€
We’re hoping she goes through with it this time too.
We genuinely want her to be better.
Get well, Britney!
P.S. We hope OK! is not wrong in their report.
P.S. #2 Will all these new developments affect the release of Britney’s new album? It is scheduled to be released on November 13th. She probably will do NO press to promote it.
She’s got bigger things to worry about!
