Britney Spears Goes Postal While the Rest of the World Asks, "Why Can't We All Just Get Along?"

So many things are going on in the world; it's almost scary to walk out of the house these days. Gas prices are causing people to stay indoors and say, "You're a good friend, Sally, but you live 10 miles away. I don't think I can visit you anymore." The war has everyone going nuts, and even people who up to this point never had an opinion (I include myself in that one) now do. But that's not what's making news, no sir (or m'am, don't want to offend anyone), now Britney has not only shaved her head and checked into rehab, but she officially looks like the butch girls that used to wait for girls like me in the bathroom to rough up and steal their lunch money. Don't get me wrong, she's cute and she's a mom, and she's got issues like everyone else, but really, I'm finding it hard to see the glamour in her anymore. Just as Whitney Houston didn't have to tell anyone she was a crack head, all she had to do was show up, Britney doesn't have to tell anyone she needs to step away from fame and focus on her children. The proof is in the pudding.

A lot of famous people have shown support to the bald beauty (Timbaland wants to help her salvage her career with the help of Justin Timberlake. Justin responded by saying "She's just gotta be serious") But it's hard to connect yourself to someone who is going downhill so fast, she's got rug burn on her bum. She's been seen wielding an umbrella at a car; she's been on shopping sprees and on the phone non stop while at rehab. Her mom and crazy baby daddy are now collaborating to help her out. Most recently, British newspapers reported she scribbled 666 on her forehead and screamed she was the antichrist. Britney. Britney Britney Britney. How did we get here? How did we go from sweet little soft porn pop star to a very scary demented rough neck? I've seen what post partum depression can do. I know it far too well. But this? I don't know. I hate to throw that word around when in reality; there are other problems that need attention. Post partum depression wouldn't be one of them.

Britney Spears once was at the top of her game, but after making her publicist work extra overtime covering up what finally came out to be the true Britney, all the stank hit the fan. Beside, once someone befriends Paris Hilton, its all down hill from there. The women who once captivated everyone has now become the star of her own episode of "COPS-the Celebrity Special!" It is unfortunate that the media has stuck to her like leeches, bleeding her until she eventually goes dry. I feel for her, I really do. The saddest of it all is that everyone feels sorry for her. And no one wants to be the one to stand by her and say, "I don't care if she doesn't take the stickers off her clothes when she buys them, and I could care less if she hands her baby off to store clerks when trying on clothes in the middle of the boutique, and poo poo to you for thinking I would leave her side just because she went from pop star to pop dud in 2.2 seconds. I'm her friend and she's mine, now bring us some red bull and a pack of cigarettes, we need some time alone." Will Britney be able to pull out of this? Will she ever find the fame she once had? I have a feeling she's seen the best of her days and will go the way of Deborah Gibson and Tiffany. Well, maybe not them, both of them left on a high note. Ok, maybe more like Samantha Fox. And zebra striped stretch pants.

I'm sure I will get criticized for not standing up for her, and not defending her, and of course for not supporting her. Again, don't get me wrong, the last thing I want to do is kick a bald girl when she's down, but the truth is, she's done all of this to herself. No one can be blamed for her actions but her. if she really was suffering from post partum depression with the money she has she could have gone to a spa-for a month. There are answers, and when you have the resources, everyone is at your beckon call. But to not only make a mockery of yourself but to make one of your children (and to those that really do suffer from post partum) too is nothing to defend; nothing to support. The rest of the world charges on and there is something new to report everyday-World hunger, national crisis, mosquitoes. The thing that has America and most of the world on edge is "what is crazy Britney going to do next?" We will probably never know.
