sad, just sad

That girl had everything. Talent, energy, voice. What a waist... (hehe)

Seriously, I think money and fame shook her core. Now she's a very young has-been. Gosh, her mom must be so proud. Maybe she and Tonya Harding's mom could form a support group.

I can't imagine how often in her future she'll hear, while bagging groceries at the Food Lion, "Hey, didn't you used to be B.S.?"

Sad, just sad. Poor rich kid.

I find her demise and self destruction sad.

It seems like she is making one bad choice after another and the only people she is allowing around her right now are those that are coddling her and not giving her any real guidance.

If she loses her children to her ex husband it might be the best thing for her or the worst. It really makes me wonder if she is still suffering from some form of post partum depression. She now seems to bask in the negative publicity. She had her disastrous performance during the awards and two hours later she gets out of a car with no underwear on again.

I think the best thing for her would be if Brad and Angelina were to take her in under their wing. Sounds funny, but they'd probably help her!

My two cents.

Watching Britney Spears the other night and reading all the fallout from her MTV Video Music Awards fiasco, I dialed back the mental clock to September 2000, when I took my young daughter to Walnut Creek to see Britney's Raleigh concert. Here's the story that I wrote for The News & Observer, published seven years ago tomorrow. Reading it made me sad. Britney has gone from cultural icon to cultural punch line. I'd be interested in your thoughts. Below is how she looked way back when at Walnut Creek, at 18, before K-Fed and rehab.
