Britney: "I Know I've Been far from Perfect "

In a rambling typo-filled statement posted on her official website, Britney Spears claimed that she has grown "more mature" and "finally free" over the past few years. Yeah, we saw the photos!

In the apology-turned-thank-you note addressed to her fans, Spears indirectly took on several issues surrounding the pop star, and explained that she is "far from perfect." Shocker!

After taking aim at the media for "criticizing my every move," Brit promoted her upcoming CD, the same CD that was recently bashed by gossip queen Cindy Adams. Spears added, "I've been working so hard on this new album and I can't wait for you all to hear it and to go on tour again!"

Spears also referenced the recent closure of her biggest fansite, saying "I do understand all the reasons that went behind making that decision." The creator of the website claims that he's "not been happy with the way she's portraying herself."

UPDATE: Apparently, Brit's "handlers" got to her blog and fixed the typos... just as we published. Darn.

47. "After taking aim at the media for "criticizing my every move"...."

Yeah, it's the media making you look bad and of course everyone should be supportive of your nasty looking hooch hanging out in public -while you treat your babies like sh*t. Grow up, trashy bitch.

49. "I think everyone forgets that Britney is human and is not this fantasy perfect'person' that the media/public loves to create."

Excuse me??? The media/public didn't create this "I'm going to be a virgin till marriage" persona, SHE did. She was pretty happy with the fantasy image that was projected to the world. Don't blame this crap on anyone but her.

50. The biggest let down of 2006 was without a doubt her hooch...nasty! It is so funny b/c I myself am a single mother of 2 and the ONLY time I go out is once a month when they are with their father. GROW UP! I am just disgusted by her and I actually felt sorry for a while back before she had her baby but now...no way in hell. The hooch is coming off my Ipod. Shhhh....please don't bash me for having her on there, I am ashamed.

52. Celebrities are larger than life, they live larger than life. Many young girls look up to people like Brittney. She has a responsibility as a role model to behave in a somewhat civilzed manner. She has failed miserably. If she wants to get crazy, she should do it behind closed doors, and not in public for everybody to see. She knows what the photogs are like, she has been around long enough. I believe she likes the attention, she is wrong for blasting the media (again!!!!!!!) for her screw ups. Who cares about a comeback? I wouldn't take her new CD if she was giving them away. I agree with the poster who wrote that they wouldn't spend their hard earned money to finance her bank account.

53. I don't believe for one moment that Brittney wrote that letter on her website. Her PR's wrote it for her. Brittney could care less about her public image.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

54. Haha, Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard anyone?

I can totally see this considering she still believes the public is interested in her.

56. It's one thing to go out a couple times a month but new pics surface EVERYDAY! Did your mother act like a whore and flash her sh*t while she was out? I doubt it, most ladies don't, most of us have class. She isn't the little youngster anymore so let's stop making excuses for her poor parenting. I had my first child at 21 and NEVER acted like this....I think it is so sad.

57. Amy,
We are not talking about Mom's staying home while "The Guys" party it up.
We are talking about a single mother.
No one is supposed to substitute for a Mom (i.e. Babysitter, Nannie ('s)
ALL THE TIME
Besides, money does not make up for your Mom not being around.

58. Britney is not a young girl. She is a WOMAN. Many, many women have children in their early twenties (Brit is in her mid-twenties). Speaking for myself, and 99% of the women I know that are mothers, at the very LEAST the FIRST FEW MONTHS of your child's life you want to be there. The infant is up every few hours for feeding, etc., and your life/schedule revolves around that. If you do have an opportunity to go out (say grandma/hubby is watching baby for few hours) it is with reluctance that you leave your child and what you want to do is get a haircut or nails done, maybe do some shopping, perhaps TAKE A FREAKING NAP. Partying all night is not one of the things most mothers do. I have no doubt that Britney is NOT raising those children. She is not mothering those children. She is not a 15 year old girl that made a mistake and found herself pregnant. You can excuse some of their behaviors because they are so young - but that is not the case with Britney. The fact that she would air "chaotic" and think that it was a good thing is beyond me (it was a train wreck and she came across as a desperate, attention-starving, sex-crazy, uneducated idiot. K-Fed actually ALWAYS seemed like the more mature one of the two - which, of course is not saying much). It was just as painful to watch as Whitney Houston was on "Being Bobby Brown" (which has destroyed her career). Her actions these last few years are not to be excused due to age, media, etc...It is a direct reflection of who she is and her total lack of character and class....two things her money will never be able to purchase for her.
