Well done Britney S. : looking great again in all the papers !!!! She seems to be back on track !!

Hopefully there will be equally smashing singles coming up !!!!!!

[Nicola_Red]

Yes. Because of course, how people look is the paramount way they are judged, and a girl with a shaven head who's put a bit of weight on isn't acceptable to society cos she is no longer deemed "attractive" in our culture.

Not having a go at you Viv, you've just highlighted a wider issue of which Britney is only an example.

[Vivienne]

Oh dear... OK, I take your point about the "what's acceptable in the looks dept.", but apart from that, I meant she seems to be mentally stronger too again !!

[Boboff]

I agree with Viv
*lies down with a cold compress for a few minutes*

I felt sorry for the obvious state she was in mentally, fame is not all it's cracked up to be, people have to be happy.

She is a tallented performer, maybe not everyone's cup of Tea, but talented all the same.

Nikkie Red Boots is also right in one way, but not in another, in that if you have a flower and that flower dies, then it is not as nice, you can admire a thing of beauty, and mourn it's loss. Most people know that the personality is what really matters, but I never got turned on talking about Politics, but the Hit me Baby one More time video, always does the trick !

[Nicola_Red]

I see what you mean boboff. I just get a bit stroppy about women being judged solely on their appearance; happens far too often for my liking.

[Vivienne]

It DOES actually happen far too often !!

Agreeing with me, Boboff?? Have you been on the booze then?? Good grief !!

Given some of the strange and rambling messages and stuff she has left on her website and other fansites in the last couple of weeks, I'd say it might be questionable that she is emotionally (mentally if you prefer) back on track. She still sounds mad as a bag of spanners to me, but I hope she's ok.

I have serious doubts that she was EVER mentally strong.

I think she was pushed into the big wide world with her head in the clouds, became incredibly famous at a very young age and craved a fairytale marriage and children. She was cheated on by Justin Timberlake, then all of a sudden is married in las vegas, then a few months later is married again and with in no time has kids. I feel sorry for her lack of common sense and knowledge of life, also the fact the men she has in her life crap on her, however she is still better off then most people.

[SAV1OUR]

Yer see thats what I like about this place, a world away from the messed up celebs we're meant to idolise, if celeb culture goes away maybe we and the celebs included would be a lot better off. Britney probably does have the potential to be clever but just hasnt had time to learn much.

[Yudster]

.......... She was cheated on by Justin Timberlake..........

No, she cheated on him, didn't she? Thats what Cry Me A River is all about, or so I thought?

[Boboff]

Still anyone who makes it acceptable to watch Teens in school uniform dance in a provocative..... hang on a sec, thats perverted.
