Gossip & Rumors
Britney's "Access" To Gum

Britney Spears Matt LauerI heard something hilarious yesterday about Britney's interview with Matt Lauer.

A producer for "Access Hollywood" helped field produce for Matt.  When they arrived at Britney's home, no one was there to guide Britney through this very important interview.  She did her hair, she chose what to wear and how to wear it.  It is shocking her publicist would allow what was about to happen.

What I find so funny is what I heard about the gum-chewing.  Apparently, before cameras rolled, Britney turned to the producer and asked "Should I spit the gum out?"  Of course the answer -- for Britney's sake -- should have been yes.   But Britney didn't ask the person who was looking out for her -- that person, her publicist, was no where to be found.  So the producer answered:  "Do whatever makes you feel comfortable."  And she did.

So Britney looked like a cow chewing her cud during the interview.  And she was actually seeking out advice -- from the wrong person.    It's not like the guy from "Access" did anything heinous.  But geez.... how did her people let her twist slowly, slowly in the wind?  It's remarkable.

46. Okay folks who feel inclined to tell us all to leave her alone and quit picking on poor little mistreated Britney who has just been through so much --- uh get over it. She went on National Television with a respected reporter to clear the air about who she is as a person and just reaffirmed all the beliefs. How can you NOT know, you shouldn't chew gum when being interviewed. It basically boils down to not having a lick of common sense. If she truly wants to be left alone then why go on TV to give an interview about wanting to be left alone? That's a bit like going to Dunkin Donuts when you are on a diet.

Every parent makes mistakes, but you learn from your mistakes --- if you don't want your parenting to be judged harshly by others don't parade your baby all over the place.

I can't believe nobody in her private life has worked on these basic skills with her.

47. Why does she need a publicist to tell her common sense things? Because she has none? Sad.

48. She just looked a mess and everyone knows it even her fans. That was the time to show she was different then everyone thinks but she did not do that. She just proved all the people that hate her right. I heard she and keven are doing another show together. She must be low on cash funds. And for someone who wants to be left alone she sure is out there all the time showing how stupid she is. I feel sorry for her kids.

49. Oh my gosh! That interview was a disgrace to southerners! She made us all look like low-class people with no common sense or pride what so ever! What was she thinking with what she was wearing and her hair and makeup looked terrible..especially the big blob of eyeliner on one of her eyes. I wonder what Matt Lauer was thinking when he was interviewing her. I thought he was going to actually start laughing at her at one point. He is so classy....I would love to know his exact thoughts on that interview!!!!!

50. Obviously brittney is like a clueless child without her publicist, but if she wants to make herself look ridiculous on national television then ooo k

51. I think she chews gum because she's not smoking anymore while being pregnant..obviously that's something hard to do so therefore i think everyone should give her a break about it.

52. I think everyone should leave Britney alone concerning her personal life. I am from the south, and most of the things people are judging her for are things people do here. For example, when she had her son in her lap while driving, come on. When I was little my mom did the same thing with me when she had to run to the store or the bank real quick. I know tons of people who have done the same thing. As for zilly ( I hope thats not your real name ) , are you ignorant, or just stupid. Have you ever been to the south or know anyone from here? You need to get your shit straight, because being COUNTRY does not mean being a stupid, trashy, or unstable person. You must be a sheltered person, or never been to or met a person from the real south. People from the south are probably the most honorable, respectable and nicest people you will every meet ( plus they are the most attractive). If you think about it some of the hottest and smartest celebrities are from the south. Also, Jon Layman, wow you must be happy since your perfect! LOL!!!!!! Seriously, you must think you are if you can talk about and judge one person that much. Sorry, but, the only perfect person EVER was Christ thats it. So YA'LL need to chill out, who are we to judge ANYONE, even a celebrity, especially their private lifes. Their private lives should not concern us. Also, she is not the best role model for young kids, but I can't remember ever hearing her say thats the reason she wanted to be famous. If YOU don't like her or the things she does, well I have a great piece of advice, DON'T watch or listen to her. Wow im so smart, you people must not have anything better to do except sit around talking crap about everyone. I'm glad I don't surround my life with people like that.! Good luck to you guys I hope you one day see that there is more to life than gossip and being so judgemental. To Britney Spears , good luck girl, I hope things get better for you and your family. From one Southern girl to another GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!

53. BRITTNEY IS A TRAIN WRECK. SHE NEEDS A NEW EVERYTHING. IF YOU ARE GOING TO CHEW GUM PERIOD YOU NEED TO CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND OBVIOUSLY HER MOTHER DIDN'T TEACH HER THAT. IT IS A SHAME THAT HER TEENAGED SISTER HAS MORE COMMON SENSE AND HOME TRAINING. I BLAME HER OWN MOTHER FOR THE RIDICULOUS WAY SHE IS AND THE BUM OF A HUSBAND SHE CHOSE. COMMON SENSE HE IS IN IT FOR THE MONEY. WHEN THE MONEY RUNS OUT, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY, HE'LL DO THE SAME THING TO BRITTNEY AS HE DID SHAR JACKSON--IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT SHAR WAS PREGNANT WITH HER SECOND CHILD WHEN K-FED LEFT HER!!!

54. I really just think doing this interview was just a hoax so people would feel sorry for her. I didn't believe a single word she said. She's just another moron bringing more innocent children into the world.

55. I enjoyed Joh's comments and thank you. The "business" Brit is a part of has actually stolen her identity. She is now a "Mom" and with this role goes responsibility that she definitely has been shielded from so that she could "be sold" to the public. Now the "public" is eating her alive. Wouldn't you agree she is bound to be totally in shock and lost in the process? And now her babies are being sold too.....
The children regardless of the Father (the one thing those children will need. ) The child is another "show piece". Lets again hope and pray she doesn't stup to that show piece level. Selling baby pictures, etc. makes me ill....I know they say it is for charity however, it's much more dangerous than that. A little child is pure....and deserves a good Mommy and Daddy period. They will someday know of the sell of there baby pictures....who would feel good about that? They deserve their own identities and life. Will Brit make it to the top of the water? We'll see. Give her some time. And pray for all of those children being born into Hollywoodville the way they have been....broken marriages, stars playing musical bed, and then not marrying because the game is over with the birth.....I am not saying all are of this quality, however, most have been.
As for chewing gum, she's a nervous wreck......what is your vice when you are nervous??? HAHA......don't wanna know....have a great day everyone! Becky In Orlando

57. i just want to add to everyone negative commenting..
britney is human.. she makes mistakes.. if u have ever made a mistake in your careers then shut ur trap.. no one is perfect.. her publist told her she had to dress the way she used to to appeal not only to girls across the nation but also to the boys.. it was all business.. trust me is you had a body like she did i bet you wouldnt have minded doing it either.. so please..take your head out of your asses becasue she is not a superhuman.. just becasue she is famous does not mean she is not just like us..

58. i think you should all be watched constantly by tabloids.. lets see how perfect your lives are..
you are all hypricrates..

ohh and she didnt live in a trailer park..

just to let you know

59. I think everyone should get off Britney's back and let her live her life. All of us parents have said or done things we are not proud of, but we are not celebrities or it would have been all over the papers. Let her love who she wants and do what she feels is best for her family. She doesn't need anyones approval but her own.
