• What A Mess •

I don't even know what to make of all this.
Amazing how this perfect world is so quick to judge.

Fan, or no fan. What is the point in making this woman suffer?
Other than a cheap laugh or two and making a couple of dollars,
what else do you really gain in the end?

N o t h i n g .

In the end you've just managed to contribute to a society who is slowly-- but surely-- destroying this person's life.

All of these hurtful words, rumors, lies, cracks at her children, and about her weight --they're completely ridiculous and unnecessary.

This situation is not even about Britney Spears anymore. It's simply a matter of what's right and wrong with the world.

Peace. I'm done for now.

∙ Blackout, Still Doing Considerably Well ∙

Let's focus on something other than Britney's Personal life for a second.

'Blackout' comes in at #34 this week selling a number of 17,043 copies.

That brings it's total to around 707,000 copies since its release here in America.

NICE! I could only imagine what she would've sold with promotion. Then again, at least this time she's letting the music speak for itself. No glitz and glamour. She doesn't need it.

As always, thanks for posting the numbers Break The Ice!

∙ Off The Custody Topic ∙

Britney shopping at Rite Aid Today. She looks hot. Very mysterious-looking. This would've been a better outfit for the court hearing.

I miss looking at her smile though. Those pictures always make my day...

∙ A Big Sigh ∙

Alright, Let's make this short and sweet since the whole entire subject makes me disappointed whenever I hear about it happening over and over again.

So basically, Britney showed up to court at around 1:30pm. The custody hearing started at around 9:30am. Whatever, she at least showed up, right? Yes, that she did. However, according to many sources, she left right away because of all the media buzzing around her.

TMZ writes:

"Britney left the courthouse after circling, entering, leaving, circling and finally bailing.When Britney got out of the car at the courthouse, she screamed at photogs, "Move back, I'm scared. Stop it, stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please." At that point, she got in and they left the courthouse."

Afterwards, she headed to church for a little prayer (I suppose) and later drove off to the Gaucho Grill for some lunch with Sam and that Bastard who is using her.

Unfortunately, Brit did not show up back to court.

Thus, giving Federline the upper hand once again. She will have another chance to regain some visitation rights on February 19th at another custody hearing. Sigh.

Common girl, get it together. We're all rooting for you...

...I'm still rooting for you.

- Kyle

PLEASE.

..SHOW UP to court.
(Crosses Fingers.)

REALLY!?

While other websites question whether Rolling Stone will have Britney on their cover we KNOW they will! The next issue will feature either Radiohead or Britney but SHE WILL BE THE COVER in the coming weeks. We know this because we've been working with them on it!

She's also grace the cover of Blender and both music mags claim to be working on the "definitive" Britney piece.

Remember, people -- a mag can do a cover on someone without doing a photo shoot with them. It remains to be seen whether Blender or Rolling Stone got new pix of Brit for their cover.

Team X17 has been involved in both pieces and we can't wait to see how they turn out! My challenge to them both -- tell us something we DON'T know!

DON'T LIE TO ME X17!!! This sounds too good to be true... Let's hope I'm so very wrong.

I Hate This Bastard.

Please GO AWAY.
I so wish she would just go back into her family's circle.

What A Cow.

Fat:
-adjective
1) having too much flabby tissue; corpulent; obese: a fat person.
2) plump; well-fed: a good, fat chicken.

3) consisting of or containing fat
4) having an (over)abundance of flesh

Keep contradicting yourself world. Keep redefining what beauty really is. Celebrity or no celebrity-- tearing down a person's image and destroying one's confidence will ultimately come back to you.

Karma's a Bitch. Believe me, I know.

P.S. - She looks unbelievable.

Britney.

I hope you take Monday's custody hearing seriously.

Jermaine Dupri on Britney:

For you growing up, who were the people you paid attention to?

"Teddy Riley was my hero when I was growing up because what he was doing, to a degree, was the most incredible thing in the world. He had more records on the radio at one time than anybody I’d ever heard. Then you had Hurby “Luv Bug” [Azor], who had Salt-n-Pepa and Kid ‘n’ Play. Teddy Riley was a self-contained producer that produced anybody, and what Hurby did was he created a team of people where they were all part of his team. So I decided to put those two people together. That’s when I said So So Def would become like a team, and all the artists were home under that.Then I looked at Berry Gordy as a record owner. I read his book … because I was interested to know how one man created Motown. As far as artists, all of the early MTV artists was all appealing to me because they had style: Prince, Michael, Stevie, Mick Jagger, Sting. Madonna took a lot of the hip-hop style and incorporated it with downtown Philly, New York, and came up with a style that was even more style than she has now. I believe that Britney Spears is headed in that direction, though. I don’t believe that Britney Spears is as crazy as people think she is. I believe that what she’s doing is creating an image for herself so that she can be the new Madonna of today’s world."

Why makes you say that?

"I don’t believe she’s that crazy to put on super-red wigs and get in her car and let the paparazzi film her. I believe she understands the power of who she is right now, and every time she’s out she’s giving us a different look, whether it’s a different wig, bald head, whatever it is. People that are crazy they don’t think about stuff like that. They just move and go on with their life."

"..to me she’s walking the line of what I would probably be telling her to do, because that’s artist development, because you are trying to find yourself. You’re not just looking like Jessica Simpson or Christina Aguilera. She is her own person now and she’s breaking away from everybody. When you see her, that’s Britney Spears, that’s what you automatically say."

"It seems like what she is doing is she believes she has to become bigger than what she’s been in the past and have more image and have [something] more Madonna-ish about her. I could be giving her a bit more credit than she deserves, but I believe she’s thinking about what’s going on."

Thank Goodness For The Understanding Types.

Katherine Heigl Speaks Up For Britney:

"I can't possibly imagine what that young girl is going through," she said. "I just hope ... that even with all this attention, people can find it in their hearts to be compassionate and not be so judgmental. She is obviously in a great deal of drama and pain, and that's a horrible thing for someone to go through in front of the entire world – and I'm sorry for her."

Thanks for the post Break The Ice

Good For You, TMZ.

Really? Did my fingers just type those words onto my laptop? Yes. At least, for now I think they're somewhat understanding of Britney's situation.

Here's an article posted by Jordan on BreatheHeavy.com regarding Harvey Levin's visit to Good Day L.A.:

TMZ's Harvey Levin visited 'Good Day LA' on Monday (January 7) for more details on the reportedly unwanted visit that Dr. Phil McGraw paid to Britney Spears while she was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday, just as the troubled pop star was being released following a 36-hour lock down. I think it's great they are admitting fault. They blogged about her 3-4 times a day, just for monetary benefits. Hopefully they will back off until she gets some serious medical attention. Harvey Levin's statements are below:

"Let me just say something, because I don't want to act high and mighty here at all," Levin said regarding his criticism of the talk show host. "You know, we're part of the problem here at TMZ, in a way. Look, we made a living off of Britney Spears, and we did it frankly when she was just fun and wacky. For several years now, we've put her on the site everyday, she's been great for traffic, so I'm not trying to act like, 'Oh, how dare people cover Britney Spears', because we've done it. Have we crossed the line, I don't know. My feeling about it is it all changed when it stopped being funny and we started realizing she's got a bipolar problem."

As for her paparazzo fling Adnan Ghalib, Levin said, "All I can say is we've gotten calls already about what he might be alble to tell, so you read between the lines on that. He is not the best person for her to be with right now."

But on an encouraging note, Levin added, "I can tell you we just put this up on the site that there are people in her life now, responsible people, that are trying to get herself to a mental hospital. She is resisting that right now. But, Britney is acting coherently, she is lucid on the surface, so it's very deceptive, this disease. When you listen to her, at least right now, I'm told that she's following the argument, she's tracking the argument, she's just rejecting it. She doesn't think she needs it, but people are desperately trying to get her in there. One of the ways they're trying to get her in there is tell her, 'Look, you will never get your kids back unless you do this.'" Watch the segment at myfoxla.com

Nice. Now... if only we could we get those other trashy magazines & websites to admit being at fault. Hmm.

Still Rooting For Britney

I know this article from E! Online is a couple of days old, but it doesnt hurt to repost it. It's a really great read.

I've been hearing from a reliable source for almost a year now that some of Britney Spears' family members believe she has bipolar disorder. They don’t think it’s drugs. They don’t feel she has a drinking problem.

In plain and simple language, they believe the former pop princess has a mental illness.

If, in fact, Ms. Spears has a bipolar illness, isn’t it time for the haters to back off? I'm talking about those who post comments on blogs that go so far as to wish her dead.

Making fun of Spears for a bad song, a poor performance or maybe even a not-so-in-shape body, I can handle. But the venom that's been spewed in the last 24 hours alone is unreal.

Why so much hate? My armchair theory is, it’s jealousy. No one is jealous of her downfall, but surely they may be envious of all she's achieved in her very young life. She wasn’t even an adult when she became one of the world’s biggest pop sensations. And she got very, very rich along the way.

Fast-forward to today. Spears is in a hospital, locked down for her own good. No one knows for sure what exactly went down last night at her house, but I don’t care how famous you are, being strapped into a gurney and thrown into an ambulance as paparazzi and news helicopters hover overheard to catch every minute detail cannot be fun in any way.

Read the rest here.

New Poll Added.

Which of the following frustrates you the most when it comes to people misconstruing Britney?

When they say..
1) ..she's fat. 2) ..she's a habitual drug user. 3) ..she's a bad mother. 4) ..she's not really an artist. 5) All of the above.

I'd really like to know your opinon. As for me? They're ALL frustrating to hear. Whether it's coming from an article, a random person's mouth, the radio, or from any anchor on the news channels. Go and vote. The poll is located on right column.

Poll Closed.

There weren't that many votes, but you still can't argue with results--no matter how small the number. You guys have voted Radar as the next single you want out. I couldn't agree more. An amazing song like this has so much potential for an amazing video.

Common Britney, we're still rooting for you! 2008 is still a blank canvas and mistakes could always be painted over.

- Kyle

Well. There She Is.

Away. In Santa Barbara. With that paparazzo guy, Adnan Ghalib. Eh. I don't know what to make of this. I don't trust the guy, but-- at least she looks like she gets to be normal for once.

Please don't get attached to this one, Brit.

Geez. Finally.

What I've been telling my friends, family, and all idiot-gossip-column-believers alike:

From TMZ.com:

Britney Spears didn't test positive for drugs or alcohol during her two-night stay at Cedars-Sinai, according to a new report.

A "reliable source" tells People that Brit "tested clean ... This lady is as clean as clean can be, and has been for some time." What's more, the source said that reports that Brit threatened suicide were "bulls**t."

Source: TMZ, People

For goodness sake, TMZ is even saying she's clean of drugs and alcohol! When are people going to realize that she has a MENTAL ILLNESS? It isn't fair to categorize an individual as a habitual drug user if there's no evidence to back it up. No wonder she doesn't give a damn anymore. People aren't going to believe her or any reliable sources anyways. They'd rather settle for ignorance & slander. What a shame.

At least some of us know what's up.

What We Know So Far

The past couple of days have been quite uneasy for us Britney fans and I don't want to dwell on what has happened. Let's just focus on the present and whats going on right now.


Here's what we know so far:

1) TMZ is reporting that there is now more evidence showing that Britney's situation wasn't due to substance abuse-- but rather a bipolar disorder.
2) The hospital determined she was no longer a danger to herself or anyone else & was released from the hospital.
3) There were no drugs, alcohol, or any substances found in her system at all.
4) Dr Phil has made it very clear to the public that he wants to help Britney. He was reportedly at the hospital to meet with Britney and some family members before she left.

I hope she's doing alright and, as much as I don't really like Dr Phil, I hope she takes advantage of his offer to help her.

Keep your head up, Brit.

Now, More Than Ever..

Britney really needs someone.

Let's get a few things straight on the situation first: 1) She is NOT on drugs. She has been tested in the hospital, and multiple sources have already confirmed that she is completely CLEAN. So, don't any of you get the story twisted on that part. 2) If anyone ever suspected that she had a mental problem, that's probably the most plausible answer after the events that took place at her house last night.

So, maybe she didn't want to give up her kids to Kevin. It's wasn't a smart thing to do in her current legal situation, but--you have to look at her side. Can you imagine how completely miserable she is being so lonely? She has absolutely no one except her two boys.

I know that people are tired of hearing fans defend the popstar--

--but in many respects, this matter at hand is NOT about the entertainment business anymore. This is a story about a mother fighting for her children. No matter what the cause. She's not concerned about the public thinking she's crazy. WHO GIVES A DAMN? I'm pretty sure my mother would go insane if I, or any of her other children weren't parts of her life anymore.

I really, truly hope that everything works out for her. I can't even imagine the pain she's going through and I don't want to even think about what that pain could possibly lead to.

Now, more than ever-- Britney has shown the BLIND world, yet again, that she still is a human. There's nothing simpler than that to explain what happened last night. We're all born on this earth. We live. We hurt. We love. We f*ck up. and then We die.

Keep your head up, Britney. I know you just need a friend.

Disturbing Update...

TMZ reports: Britney Spears was just wheeled out of her home on a gurney by paramedics! Why god why?!?

We're told Britney is being taken to a local hospital on a "medical hold" -- essentially a mental evaluation. Cops found her earlier this evening at her home under the influence of an "unknown substance."

Cops were called to the popnightmare's home in Beverly Hills this evening after she reportedly refused to return custody of her two kids back over to their father's bodyguard.

I just don't understand... This is just so surreal.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

More Cops, Ambulance Now at Spears' House!

Holy Kramer vs. Kramer!

TMZ is at Britney's house in Beverly Hills as several more police cars, fire trucks, an ambulance and a police chopper have now all descended on the popwreck's humble abode. Don't let 'em git me!!

We've learned Spears has refused to turn her two sons back over to their daddy tonight, as ordered by the court. LAPD tells us they've been called to the home to deal with the family custody dispute.

Source: TMZ

LORD, I really HOPE everything's alright! I don't even want to think about what could possibly be happening if an ambulance is present.

UPDATE on Police Situation

The Following is from BreatheHeavy.com:

There are reports that police have been called to Britney's house tonight. Apparently Britney was not ready to give up time with her sons Sean Preston & Jayden James quite yet:

"The pop star was due to turn over Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, at 7 p.m. PST. Federline's bodyguard arrived at her home to pick them up, but Spears would not budge. She has been with the kids since noon Thursday.

Ninety minutes later, police arrived.

"There have been police sent to that residence," an officer tells Us Weekly. "We don't know anymore at this time, but apparently they've arrived."

Spears' attorney, Sorrell Trope, tells Us, "In a normal case when someone shows up with a certified court order saying the kids need to be somewhere else, the police see to it that the order is obeyed. But that is in a normal case."

TMZ has confirmed that LAPD has been called to Britney Spears' house in Beverly Hills for what we're being told is a "family custody dispute."

LAPD tells us the call came in around 8:00 PM this evening, but they would not tell us who made the call or what the specific problem was. Officers, we're told, are still on scene.

Damn that Federline.. can't he just let her have them for a little more? She does have a monitor and everything. What more does he possibly need from her? How heartless.

BREAKING NEWS.

I was on the road just a couple of minutes ago and the radio said that there are cops that arrived to Britney's house at 8:00pm this evening and are still there. They said it was in regards to the custody battle and had no further information on the situation.

Man, I hope everything's alright.

What's Something You'd Define As A Flop?

As of Today,

- 'Gimme More' has sold 67,653 Copies In Its 12th Week. Total so far: 927,575
- 'Piece of Me' has sold 114,869 Downloads In Its 9th Week.
Total so far: 362,192

- 'Blackout' rises 7 spots on Billboard at #34 with 60,000 more copies sold.

Thanks Break The Ice

Starting Off The New Year Great.

And I greatly welcome this from Ms. Spears.

Let's get to the straight to the goods. Britney has finally showed up to her deposition. It didn't last very long--but at least she showed! According to multiple sources, Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed's lawyer, even mentioned that she was very "cooperative." Don't believe all those damn headlines which always try to twist the story around. She SHOWED. That's all that's important.

DAMN she looked amazing too-- almost dangerous in a way. I wouldn't want to mess with that!
