Why is Jamie Lynn Spears Suddenly Britney Spears's Bodyguard?

The story has been all over the internets lately, with the little details differing from site to site but the basic gist of the story remaining the same: While going out for sushi the other day, Britney Spears and little sister Jamie Lynn were being followed by the paparazzi (in other words, a normal everyday occurrence for Brit and her gaggle of best friends). They were then heckled by Random Screaming Woman, who kept hollering, among other things, Nobody wants you in this neighborhood!

Little sister Jamie's response? Then move the f*ck out! Cue cheers from paparazzi.

It's obvious that Brit cannot even walk somewhere without it turning into a shoving match (one of the photographers likened it to football on the video, one even fell over in the scrum). If you watch the video, you can see that Brit is entering a store complex, where there are other shoppers. If you look closely, you can also see small children in the background. You can hear them, too, shrieking as the pap blob slowly makes its way forward.

It's obvious that Brit herself doesn't care that her life is being turned upside down by these acts (early in the video you hear one of the paps tell her that her coffee is there, you see him deliver it, so don't even tell me she doesn't set these things up beforehand), but she, or someone close to her, should care that innocent people's lives are being disrupted because of her selfish desire to create a photo-op.

Cue Random Screaming Woman. She comes in about halfway through, going on a tirade against Brit about how she is making the neighborhood unsafe, she should move away, people do not want her there. You can see in other videos from different angles that she actually lays hands on Jamie at one point.

Now do I agree with the actions of this woman? Absolutely not. No matter how crazy Brit has made the neighborhood, there's no excuse for actually trying to physically grab someone. That crosses the line. Do I agree with her words? Absolutely. I dont even live anywhere near Brit and I'm tired of the constant crap. I'm sure for people who actually have to deal with it while trying to live their lives, it is completely infuriating.

But check out the actions of the two sisters. Britney, for her part, looks dazed and confused. At the beginning of the video, she parks so close to another car that she cant even get out (and bangs the other car door in the process). She has to be led around by younger sis Jamie you look, Brits arm is holding onto Jamies elbow, and Jamie is leading, not the other way around.

At this point, lets not forget that Jamie is SIXTEEN YEARS OLD. This is a girl who ought to be worrying about things like zits, getting her learners permit, whether she has her homework done for tomorrow, and if that cute boy from Physics class will be at the football game Friday night. You know, normal teenage stuff. But instead, she is leading her drug-addled, mentally ill sister through a phalanx of photographers and fighting off Random Screaming Woman.

Jamie is also the star of a Nickelodeon television show, Zoey 101. Her core audience is younger girls, tweens and teens, but I know that younger girls watch it as well. She is portrayed as a good and wholesome role model for young women. So what sort of message does this send out to Jamies young fans, when they see Zoey turning and dropping the f-bomb at someone? I understand that the situation was probably nerve wracking, and Jamie was frustrated, but she should not have been put in that situation to start with.

And while were on the subjectwhat is going on with mama Lynne? Why would she let her younger daughter go out with Britney to start with? I wouldnt care if it was a sibling, parent, whoever.no way in the world would I let one of my children go out with anyone in Brit's state. The courts wont even let Brit see her young children without a representative of the court present yet mama Lynne lets Jamie go out with her? You know what she should say? NO. Contrary to popular belief, children do not turn to dust if confronted with the denial of their wishes. Somebody ought to be looking out for this girl, and it doesnt appear to be her mama.

Speaking of looking out for people.where is Alli? Where are Brits friends JR Rotem and Sam Lufti? Forget them.where are Brits bodyguards??? If Brit is insistent on going to go out like this, she needs her bodyguards with her. So where are they? Brit at one point asks the paps to not let Random Screaming Woman touch her again, and the paps all assure her that it wont happen. Um, hello??? What is wrong with this picture? In Britworld, are these just free bodyguards with cameras and coffee privileges?

Why is Jamie being put into the position of being Brits protector? This girl is sixteen years old! What if that woman had a gun? What if, when she lunged at Jamie, she had a knife in her hand? WHERE THE F*CK ARE BRITfS PEOPLE AND WHY DONfT THEY DO SOMETHING?

And the sad thing iscbefore the day is out, there will be yet another story about Brit and her paparazzi buddies. Lets hope that she leaves Jamie out of it this time.

All of this drama for some sushi and some coffee. Those must have been some damn good lattes.
