Britney -- The New Whitney?

Posted Aug 5th 2006 11:34AM by Harvey Levin

The video of Britney and K-Fed that just surfaced on YouTube is incredible and revealing. We don't know when it was shot, but let's give Brit the benefit of the doubt and say it was before her pregnancies.

What's so amazing about it is that just years before, no one was more focused on her career and single-minded than Miss Spears. She may not have been a city slicker, but she knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. If this video speaks any truth, it's that the brass ring isn't all it's cracked up to be. I wonder if Lindsay Lohan has looked at the video and if it had an impact on her? Maybe all of us end up reflecting about our lives at the kitchen table. It just seems like this one is so much more of a train wreck than most.

I've always rooted for Britney. What I love about her is that she is so unaffected by her stardom and wealth. As crazy as things got for her over the last year, I still thought she'd have a huge comeback. I still hope that, but now I am not so sure.

We want to hear from you - LITERALLY! Call TMZ's toll-free number 866-895-8877 and sound off (but not for more than 30 seconds)! Start with your name and tell us where you live.

1. This video is from her reality series "Chaotic." It was a deleted scene and was film years ago.

3. I just saw that clip of Britney, and I think she was acting perfectly normal!
Just because she is a celebrity doesnt mean she has to be perfect all the time, everyone gets like that sometimes, I honeslty think she isn't doing anything wrong, she's a normal person just like everyone else, she isn't having any breakdown. If it was some other regular person walking down the street acting like that, you wouldnt think anything of it! I love Britney and wat I love most about her is that her wealth and popularity doesnt get the best of her, she is still just like you and me, I actually met her twice and had real conversations with her and it was like talking to one of my buddies, so please dont judge her!!! SHES NORMAL!!

6. HER HUSBAND, HANDLERS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO TRULY CARE FOR HER, NEED TO GET HER SOME "CARE" IN THE PHYCIATRIC FORM. THIS "CHILD", "WOMAN" IS HAVING A MELT DOWN RIGHT IN TH PUBLICS EYE AND NO ONE THAT "SAYS" THEY CARE FOR HER IS GETTING HER THE HELP SHE NEEDS. IUSED TO THINK THAT SHE WAS JUST ANOTHER CAUALITY OFHOLLYWOOD, BUT IT SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE POST PARTUM DEPRESSION TO ME, AND IF SHE IS NOT PREGNANT DURINGTHAT VIDEO TAKEN BY HER "HUSBAND" SHE IS STILL IN NEED OF MEDICAL INTERVENTION. THE GIRL IS OBVIOUSLY ON HER WAY TO TONERVOUS BREAKDOWN

7. Why does her husband keep looking out the peep-hole? And she keeps saying "huh?" Yeap, I'd say someone needs to "intervene", and get the girl some help.

8. I THINK BRITTNEY IS LIKE ANY OTHER PERSON . SHE JUST HAS NO PRIVACY AND HER HUSBAND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE WANTS, BUT THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE THE SAME WAY AND I GUESS SINCE SHE'S FAMOUS AND IN THE SPOT-LIGHT IT'S DIFFERENT AND IT'S NOT..

9. I'm no Britney fan but I think everyone is grasping at straws. This video was shot years ago and it just shows a young girl talking to her boyfriend while he is videotaping her. The problem with Britney is she's too stupid to realize that when you have her kind of fame and money, you shouldn't videotape yourself doing ANYTHING or it might be used against you....like now. Every superstar has gone through a period where the media and public has turned on them and tried to pull them down and guess what? Its Britney's turn. Until something bad happens to her (get divorced, breaks downs, gets in trouble with the law) everyone will continue to attack her. Britney, please get out of the spotlight for awhile, get some therapy, and help raising your kids (not your mother cuz she's done a lousy job with you), get in shape and get some decent producers and songwriters for your comeback. Its so easy for people like us to judge famous people but I can't imagine what its like to be a target for everyone. That's why hollywood is filled with people who have commited suicide or turned to drugs just to deal with it all. Fame seems like a horrible thing that comes with being an entertainer. Brits a human being and even though I think she's stupid I feel bad for her....sort of. STOP VIDEOTAPING YOURSELF BRITNEY!

10. Britney is just as retarded as Jessica and Paris and Kevin is a retarded loser just using her for her $$, when will she wake up and get a clue!? I mean she does realize you really can't go back in time? AND SHE IS NOT MISSING OUT ON LIFE, SHE HAS A LIFE OF LUXURY AND WEALTH AND HAS HAD HER FAIR SHARE OF PARTIES AND FUN AND SHE KNOWS IT , I THINK SHE IS JUST TRYING TO GET MORE SYMPATHY FROM ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. SHE HAS HAD A BETTER LIFE THAN A LOT OF OHTER PEOPLE. AND HER PICTURES IN BAZZAR WERE SO RETOUCHED AND AIRBRUSHED!

11. Britney should have never trusted him to videotape her. When will these people learn the tapes always end up being leaked to the press. Britney was most likely high as a kite (its be rumored her husband is a toker) It just makes her look foolish.

12. She should have never trusted that guy to tape her. She should know by now that all tapes somehow end up being leaked to the media. She was probably high (it's been rumored her husband is a toker) This tape just makes her look reallly foolish.

13. I wonder if she watches these videos they take of themselves? She sounds like a complete idiot. I would be so embarrassed if i seen a video of myself talking like that, i would erase it, not put it on the internet. And just think...... someone with such a small brain capacity that she cant even understand the question, "do you want to go out or go to a movie" is raising children. hmmm Kind of makes you wonder doesn't it.

15. Does she have some sort of tourette's? At first I was thinking the video was not such a big beal but when she started the nervous tick, I realized that something is not right in Kansas.

She has millions. Maybe should should hire some really smart people to build a time machine since time travelling exists.
