![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Britney Spears is not sliding into obscurity, but she seems to be sliding back to Louisiana. We've noticed some significant Southern changes in Britney:
1. Her clothes. She's been dressing quite a bit less glamorous recently. Brit used to be a fashion plate and whatever she wore was the height of chic. Now she's more likely to be seen in cutoffs than in Chanel.
2. Her accent. Ms. Spears' diction has slid into territory that might be kindly described as "traditional Southern." In her recent NBC interview, Britney's answers to Matt Lauer's questions showed her deep south heritage, not just in what she said ("... with my Dad, I'd sit in his lap and drive. We're country!") but in how she said it. Simple words like "living room" come out of her mouth with a twang we didn't used to hear from the pop princess.
3. Her emotions. Most of all, Britney just seems more comfortable being a mom than being an icon. In the interview, she was a bit uncomfortable when Lauer asked her about being perceived as a "redneck". But when he asked her about the paparazzi, she burst into tears.
Maybe Brit would be happier as a retired performer, living back home in Louisiana and raising up her kids outside the harsh spotlight. But some of us miss the old version, the one who wowed us with her class, style and smile.

I think every one sholud leave her alone and let her do her thing. When she first came out I really didn't much like her, but over the years I have become to like ger alot. She is a wonderful person and she is sweet. She is just trying to live her life and I think every one needs to let her do it! AW
I love Britney & hope that she will someday make another album. One question- what was the black thing stuck to her right eyelid?
BRITNEY IS HUMAN ...EVERYONE IS ACTING WAY TO HARSH...SHE WANTS TO SPEND TIME WITH HER FAMILY...IT DOESNT MAKE HER A BAD PERSON...JUST BECAUSE SHE IS FAMOUS DOSENT MEAN THAT SHE IS DIFFERENT...IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT EVERYONE HAS BEEN DOING THE SAME THING... A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE BEING HIPORCRITS...YOU GO GIRL GOOD LUCK TO YOUR FAMILY
If Britney would clean up her appearance a bit the media would be a lot easier on her. Don't complain about negative attention if you are going to dress like you don't care who sees you. You know you're going to be photographed. You're stunningly beautiful. Have you SEEN the gorgeous maternity clothes available these days? Get some! If you want more privacy than you're currently getting, move out of LA and quit dressing like white trash. It's a small price to pay, and you can definitely afford it.
Poor Brit! She just can't do anything right lately! I'm sure her intention with Matt Lauer was to set the record straight and shift the attention away from herself and her family. I don't know who her agent is, but that person needs to be replaced with a high powered PR firm who will hire somebody to SIT on her country ass and keep her from wrecking her image everytime she opens her gum-chewing pie hole.
The moral of the story is this. Get a FRICKIN Life!!!!! And may I add, "Ya'll need to get a FRICKIN' life and leave Ms. Britt'ney alone!" I mean, are you frickin that HOT that you can really talk stuff about soembody else? Who 1) is more paid than you. 2) is going to do here thing regardless of your comments. 3) Could careless about you and isn't going to help you in any sort of way.
People, people ...please ...I'm crying out to you with all the LOVE in my heart. It is my duty as a fellow humanoid ...Get a frickin HOBBY. Say horseback riding, golf. Hey maybe take up knitting. DO SOMETHING with teh brain and gifts GOD gave you. ANd stop sitting your arses!!!!Perhaps if you had a LIFE you'd be doing something with it besides talking trash about celebs that you WISH you could be. IT's called HATER-ism. Let the hate go.

I think Britney's mother is her manager, and needs to be fired. Britney needs a real PR person, like most of you say, above. I honestly don't believe she knew what she was getting into when she joined the Mickey Mouse club. I think she would have been more comfortable as a cashier at the local Stop N Go, than as a multi-millionaire recording artist. At least she would be able to walk barefoot into a public restroom minus the paparazzi. I wonder how her little sister views her, and if she plans on doing things differently?
The thing on her right eye was her false eyelash lifting. I understand she is young, and trying to do the best she can, take into consideration how she was raised. At least she is with her child and not letting it be raised by nannies. I do think it is time she step out of the spot light, enjoy her family, she has enough money to get by and when she is ready she can reinvent herself like Cher and Madonna. I do agree though that since she knew she was going to be on TV she could have tried to look a little more like a star and not quite so down home.
Well one of the things to me is, Britney never really dressed glamourous as this article states. She was never real big on name brands that I remember, and usually every "formal" event she went to, she was panned for being too provocative. If she wasn't popping out babies right now, and she were still this huge popstar that everyone (including myself) wants her to go back to being, we'd all be panning her for whatever she was wearing and secretly loving it. There isnt really anything to love about her new persona IMO, but hey, it's what she wants. She had her reign....maybe she'll be able to bounce back. Even though I highly doubt that.
I think it is probably true, that she is more interested in being a Mom today, than in her career. Fame came to her so young..starting as a Mousketeer and then in the 90"s when she exploded on the scene, that she might have even grown bored with it. She has tasted what it is like to be a celeb, and basked in the aura of glamour for so long she almost seems to be saying ..Been there done that...Who cares? I think the sudden marriage (including the first one in Vegas) was her own attempt and just trying to break free. I do hate seeing her in the cut-offs and cheap makeup, but I just don't think she cares anymore. She could have sent in a makeup artist, and definitely has the money to buy the finest most fashionable maternity wear they make. But, I don't think it matters to her any longer. This is Britney trying to be herself, imperfections and all.
She's mad becouse the babys sit behind, call 911, , britney make a smart
So what? She talk and look different I like the new her. She not faking any more and that upset you. Guess what, get over it. I don't see what wrong with a liitle accent; she from Louisiana so it only nature. And I think the media is full of crap because you picking on her because she from Louisiana. Well guess what so am I ! So what the have to do with anything. Are you trying to say the Louisiana are different. Because that not the case, we dress just like the rest of the world. We have designer clothes and shoes. You can just Louisiana off of Britney Spears.

I never use to like Britney at all. But, I've seen a softer side to her since she has became a mother and I like her more and more. She hasn't done anything that new mother hasn't done, only she has a bunch a freaks chasing her around. Why doesn't anymore chase Whitney Houston around and see how her poor daughter is growing up in a crack house. I don't see anything about that sad situation. That'
s a Social Services nightmare!!!!!!
