5. How tough is it to know not to chew gum on national television? This girl has been in the business since she was 9 years old--she is media savvy. Unfortunately, she is also poorly educated and not too bright--a deadly combination. How nice for the folks down south to know that being "country" means you're stupid, trashy and unstable.

6. Melissa, before you start giving out lessons on punctuation you should concentrate on your own sentences. I do realize that comma usage is hard for some people, but come on now. It should be, "Sue, darling, blah blah blah blah." Notice the commas before and after the word "darling"? Let me give you some advice on how to adequately use commas. Say the sentence out loud. Did you pause before or after a word? If so, more often than not, a comma needs to be inserted. For more helpful tips, grab a 5th grader's English book and read up. Thanks!

8. Sorry, Sweetie, but you took Mother Nature’s Gift and trashed it. You seemed so surprised that we didn’t just see you as an innocent young woman, when you were showing all the skin you wanted anytime you wanted, and basically looking and acting like a slut. You seemed so surprised when we “mistook” your sexual power, after splashing it all over the stage and screen, even protesting that you were a virgin, to our disgust. You defended your exhibitions as innocent, all the while inspiring our young daughters to go down a path that often wasn’t so innocent. The problem is, you DID understand the power you were wielding, and you were all too happy to exploit your image for your own personal gain. Sex for money – it takes many forms. Too bad you didn’t indulge a little in the lifestyle you were advocating – then at least you would have understood the dangers you were so flippantly dismissing. So, to this writer it is not so difficult to understand you falling hard for the first male who actually penetrated your world, for that was the first time you personally experienced the power driving your successes. Sadly, there are a billion great guys in this world equipped with what impressed you. Sorry it came in the form of a nobody from nowhere. And now you have his children to raise. You seem to be a continuing saga of misunderstanding. Now, you don’t understand what it means to be a mother, wife and parent. These are grown-up roles -- last year you were just a girl. I DO feel for you, because you WILL grow up, and it WILL be painful. And, the mistakes you make from this point on will be larger in scope, because they will affect not only you and your happiness, but your marriage and your children. So, please, for the sake of yourself, your family, society and us all, use some of that money you have to actually learn what being a wife and a parent is all about. Put an end to your tabloid lifestyle, and quit reveling in the spotlight you crave. Hide out somewhere, surround yourself with REALLY great people for a change, and FIGURE IT OUT. At least you have the resources. Please, Britney…GET IT RIGHT!!!!! Maybe in the end you could actually be a great example to our sons and daughters. We’re all hoping…!!

9. Wow. The comments from Jon Layman, July 6th, were perfect. His were the exact comments that I have expressed to my own young daughter about Britney and her immature behaviors.
Jon: you got it right. Nothing more needs to be said.

10. Jon, you said it right, though maybe a little harsher than i would have said it. I do not think she was throwing her virginity in our faces, I think she was being told what to do by her handlers, and listened to them like a good little girl. Unfortunately, like all young girls, she has fallen in love with her "bad boy". But, unlike most of us, she married him and is having her second baby with him.
I feel sorry for her because she always comes across as a moron when she speaks, and I highly doubt she is as stupid as she appears. I think she just gets a little nervous when she has to freewheel it, and it shows, like in the Matt L. interview. I've seen her in other interviews which were NOT live, and she comes across as a sweet little country gal. She did look awful in her outfit though and that gum was obnoxious, as Zilly above said, she's been in the public eye her whole life, she should know better than to chomp on gum in public, you are always going to end up looking like a pig! The outfit too, ugh, what was she thinking? If there was ever a time to clean up her image some, it was then. Ever hear of a cute little maternity sundress Brit?
Well, you cannot redo what is done. Hopefully she will learn from her mistakes and move forward with the knowledge of what was wrong and correct her mistakes so she can set a better example for herself, her children, and her many young fans everywhere.
Good Luck Britney!

11. When I read that your mother was helping you take care of your son I felt frustrated because we usually learn manners and appropriate behavior while growing up. Obviously you did not learn to dress and act like a lady. That means when not performing you dress and behave respectfully. I feel very sorry for you and your son because you don't seem to have common sense. As an example, when you and Kevin take him to the beach you should see to it that he is comfortable and protected from the burning sun. I believe you do love your son very much, but for God's sake get some sound advise on how to care for him before it is too late.

12. I think Britney is just trying to be a normal person.She is done with the bs and trying to start a family and be a mom.The media should give her a break.

13. Brintey is a grown woman and should have enough common sense not to chomp on gum in an interview. I don't want to hear that she is sheltered or anything else. She is an adult and need to start behaving like one

Her immaturity speaks volumes.

14. You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can not take the trailer park out of the girl. All this money and not one once of class. Common sense, which she does not have, would tell you not to chew gum during an interview. Stop crying and get a grip. Trying to tell people you are a good mother. Why are all these stories in the paper and t.v about your mistakes as a mother? A carseat is one of the first things you get before HAVING the baby. There are also qualified people to help you with installing and putting the baby in. You are still a young girl with a lot of growing up to do. Making mistakes is the norm, but you seem to make them every time you open your mouth.
Don't make another album, PLEASE! Spend time with your kids and take parenting classes. Also, get rid of the husband. It's not like he is any better than a bum off the street, but then again a bum may be an improvement.

15. Yeah I couldn't believe what she did during the interview. God she looked like white trash.
