Britney Spears "went into hysterics" when restaurant told her she couldn't eat with dog in her lap

how someone more boring than the Royals, Jackie O & Elisabeth Taylor gets stuff in the fanzines & web sited every day is beyond comprehension

After all, that cute little puppy needs Britney for food and shelter.

:hide:

After verdicts about OJ, Michael Jackson, Wm. Blake and Phil Spector, it is clear to me that laws do not apply to show biz people. Britny could stab me in the eye with a fork without any reason to worry about the consequences.

since she applied for a job as one. Sorry ma'am, you can't mix that triple apple super-fruity martini with a dog in your arms.

Wouldn't that be like using a wolf to guard the sheep?

:hide:

Whew!

in terms of the celebrity death watch.

..."The Superficial" has the clip of the "uncensored" version of her new song "Gimme More," in which Ms. Spears spins around a stipper pole chanting "Gimme gimme gimme" and giving the viewer a first-hand look at the ravaging effects of too many Taco Bell crunch wrap supremes washed down with triple-grande Starbucks iced mocha lattes:

:scared:

She really has "lost her moves"...rather than execute intricate dance moves, she just sort of stumbles around like a bull in a china shop and giggles with a "have y'all finished filming me yet" sort of bemusement.

The king is dead...ong live the king (or something to that effect).

doesn't mean you should be having kids and then don't want the responsibility. getting pregnant and having them is the easy part, raising them is a whole other story.

Some of us are less complete than others. Getting in a huff about those crying for help, who are obviously lost, is non-constructive. Helping them is constructive.

Then again, this is a fear-based society, not a love-based society. Slapping the damaged is fear-based. Helping them is love-based.

1). Some of us are less complete than others.

True. I don't claim to be complete and I also don't know any complete people. I don't think any rational person expects celebrities to be complete.

2). Getting in a huff about those crying for help, who are obviously lost, is non-constructive.

True again. Of course, I say this from the standpoint of someone who's not in a huff, and I don't think The Superficial was in a huff when they posted the stories, and my huff detector hasn't gone off yet while reading the responses to this thread. You're not thinking of "The HOFF," are you? Because even though he rocks like a mutha, this is NOT a David Hasselhoff thread.

My response to the cry for help is that yes, she is most certainly crying, and yes, there's a long line of people who have constructively attempted to respond to that cry, and she keeps getting high and pushing the "public exhibitionist" envelope and crashing into other people's cars.

The judge in her child custody hearing offered an interesting insight into one way to handle people who cry for help and refuse constructive help when it's offered: take away custody of their kids until they make the commitment to get their act together. You've addressed your feelings about Ms. Spears but you haven't mentioned her kids. I'm sure you're just as concerned for their welfare as you are for hers. I just couldn't find those remarks in your post.

3). This is a fear-based society, not a love-based society.

True, and the one thing a pig can never change is the fact that its ass tastes just like bacon.

4). Slapping the damaged is fear-based.

It probably is. On the other hand, passing on a story about a celebrity having a fit because a restaurant wouldn't let her dine with her dog in her lap is journalism, and of the highest order. I don't know when the Edward R. Murrow Awards are announced, but I have a sneaking suspicion that an "Excellence In Electronic Journalism" award is on The Superficial's horizon.

5). Helping them is love-based.

Yes. See #2 above. I have a love-based 10-step constructive help program for Ms. Spears (since I have legitimate concerns about her making the commitment to complete a "12-step" program), but she won't return my calls. Maybe if I post it here she'll see it and turn her life around.

1). I'm OK, you're OK, and K-Fed's "PoPoZao" STILL sucks. You're still the only member of the family with "talent," but I use that term loosely.

2). Taco Bell is not one of the four food groups.

3). The Rice Krispies ad jingle "snap, crackle and pop" is not a subliminal message telling you to smoke crack.

4). Whenever possible, put on underwear before going out in public.

5). Red Bull and cigarettes are not "vitamin supplements."

6). Strippers (or "exotic dancers" as they are sometimes known) are Bill Maher's friends, and they were the late Sam Kinnison's friends, but they really aren't YOUR friends, Britney.

7). K-Fed shows up for court appearances while you take a nap. The judge's response? "I think the kids belong with the parent who cares enough to show up."

8). When your family begs you to get help and your agent and attorney and manager and dog groomer all get as far away from you as possible, maybe...just maybe...it's you and not them.

9). You're on record in "Fahrenheit 9/11" as saying that we should support Bush. Maybe some of this is punishment for saying that.

10). You can't have a comeback if you're dragging your trash along with you. You can't have a comeback if you've allowed yourself to become the punchline of one bad joke after another. Wanna shave your head? Go bald until it grows back. Low-rent ratty hair weaves only become today's punch line.

OK, that's it. I've released my responsibility for lovingly and constructively offering Britney help. I feel better, and I know that the world is a better place.
