2008 New Year's Resolutions for Britney Spears

With another year wrapping up in just a few short weeks, it's that time of year again to figure out resolutions. This includes the famous and infamous in the world of the celebrity. After a very busy year for Britney Spears, I concocted several resolutions that Britney should definitely consider doing for the next year.

1. Put your children first

Do not, for the love of Pete, do drastic changes to your body again such as we saw in this last year - shaving your head, getting a tattoo or any other 'attention' seeking tricks that have ended up being a bomb instead of a wow. Your children are your priority and you need to remember that, perhaps. You have two gorgeous boys and they're still little. It's not too late to win back these little angels and make them want to look at you as the "bestest mommy ever". People don't think you can, but, as a mother myself, you can if you just get the drive and keep the focus of these little ones being numero uno in your life.

2. Kill off the Partying

Obviously, you showing up at parties and clubs hasn't been the best thing for you at all, in this past year as well as years before. Nobody wants to see -that- part of you, especially in public. It's not very lady-like and it's downright crude. It's also not a way to get your children back with that kind of publicity going around. If anything, you going to clubs and repeatedly making this error just isn't going to get you any bonus points with anyone.

What you need to do is upgrade your current friend group with positive influences. Find other single mothers who do it in and out on their own day to day with less income than you make. Learn HOW these women operate and listen to them. You might not thing being a single mother is a lot of fun or even what you want, however, it's only as boring as you make it. Maybe you think we don't have fun, but, we do. Perhaps not the fun you're used to, however, single mothers do have healthy social lives and get out quite often for a few hours. It's the only way to stay sane!

3. Hold off on relationships

It's too soon for you to even consider another relationship. You need to focus, again, on your children. Those boys should be your number one relationships currently. While it's not a shame or even a remote bad thing to have hopes of a great guy happening in your near future, remember that good things happen to those who wait. You rush into one and you get, well, divorced within a few years. So relax, get your life in order and then, bam, when you least expect it - the most wonderful man in your world will come around. This time you'll be ready.

4. Consider a new wardrobe

I don't know what it is, but, every picture I've seen of you lately has been less than flattering. Who can forget the award show snafu as well? Not your finest dressed moment. However, I think that at least for now you need to have a new wardrobe. Just until you get your act together, body back in kicking butt shape (and it can be done) and custody issues resolved. Not that you should immediately swing back to the horrific outfits once things are well, but, remember that it's not all about the style. You can still dress to impress and not lose respect due to a small "muffin top" over low riding jeans.

5. Bellydance!

You, my dear, are a dancer. You know the dedication that is involved. Let's kill two birds with one stone right here. Pick up some incredible moves, learn a new dance style and get in shape! Bellydancing is fun, exciting and the outfits are beautiful. If you've never seen them, might I suggest going to a video store and browsing the exercise section. Or if you're even more dedicated to the cause, do some research online. There are numerous sites on the internet that talk about this style of dance. Why not resolve to get in shape and be healthier all in one step?

Just picture all the moves you can do, how limber you'll get and how gorgeous you'll eventually look in one of those hip scarves, coin belts or any other bellydancing attire that you can find. Now don't think you have to go at it alone. Far from it. Get some girlfriends involved, your mother, siblings. Anyone wanting to get in shape and have fun. Not only that, it also gives a grea way to spend time with loved ones.

While there are numerous other resolutions that you could adhere to, at least consider some of these resolutions, Britney. Your life is so chaotic right now that nobody thinks you'll be able to go straight again. Let's prove them all wrong and wow them with how much you can accomplish in 2008.
