106. To all you hungry photographer geeks, I hope one day 2 million people are getting all you wanna-bes in compromising positions and photo you every minute of every day, than you'll see how it feels to be on the other side of the lens. I wish the law would take care of these people JEOPRADIZING other peoples lifes just to make a dollar ( A few thousand at that ) to fulfill some greedy bastards pocket. I'd end up popping a few of these geeks, and I challenge them to come & enter my world & see if I don't put a few of them in the hospital. Better watch out because Brittany will nut up on you guys one day, & I hope it makes the front page of every newspaper. Good Luck Brittany, I you get better.

107. Is she topless too? I'm not kidding, is she? In some of the pics it looks like she's not wearing a shirt.

108. If Britney has bi-polar disorder then their could be a lawsuit against the papps as they may
have triggered a manic episode.

109. Listen, if you want to psychoanalyze a person, try doing this to someone that you actually know. Even so: What qualifies anyone here to accuse her of having bi-polar disorder? Good grief!

110. Enough already. Are people just going to sit by and watch this young woman fall further into hell?
It's obvious to most people that she's suffering from some type of mental condition, be it bi-polar disease or depression. Hopefully now she can get real help before it's to late for her. I personally think she suffered from postpartum depression and nobody ever caught on. She needs to rid herself of all of her "paid companions" and hire older, wiser and more caring people to guide her. I feel for her. I think she's been caught in a vicious circle of people taking her for granted and basically using her.
If she ever hopes to see her babies again, she'll take this as her wake up call. Life is not one big shopping spree, one big dinner party after another. You and your babies need a stable home life with set bedtimes, dinner, lunch and bath times. Partying should have ceased when you conceived those babies, you are a Mother and someone your children need to look up to. Do you really want them to read any garbage about you when they get old enough to read?
Think about it. You have one shot at this and so do your children. Get the help and weed out the trash and hangers on in your life.
Best of luck!

111. Kaplan should rot under the very rock that he crawled out from under....feasting as he is, on Federline's double-digit I.Q. and Brit's enormous pain.

112. As Mrs. Spears is aprofessional dancer, you should do a lot of yoga
for stabilizing, especially long vipreeta karani mudra (shoulder stand).
That will help her a lot if done consequently, also giving deep and relaxing sleep.
This can be done in any situation wheere instabilatiion may occur.

113. Spears is her own worst enemy. If someone is bent on destroying their life, it's their decision, but don't take others down with you be it family, friends, co-workers, and most of all children. Her 1 and 2 year old toddlers have not one shred of defense. That is why the Judge ordered her be tested and someone to monitor the kids when in her care. Forced help is often temporary. Spears has to take stalk within herself: (1) recognize a problem exists, (2) pinpoint what the problem is, (3) admit to herself she has this particular problem, and (4) seek help on her own. Unfortunately, her way of resolving these issues is to act out, defy, manipulate, and try to control authority figures. Doing so she has put her precious children at risk, in harms way, and danger. She in the hospital because of "her" clouded thinking, bad decision to defy the Court Order, and return the kids as instructed. Spears, along with other young people in trouble with drugs, alcohol, etc., have a long, hard road ahead of them for the rest of their life to stay away from this type of environment, and those who influence them. Right now, today, she needs to focus solely on herself - genuinely reflect and recognize things are not working her way, decide what type of future she wants for herself, and map out a way to change. Then and only then can she begin the healing process to make herself whole, and become a positive influence on her children and others around her. Bella

115. I really feel sorry for this girl. I am by no means a Brittney fan, but I really think she has got to get out of Hollywood ASAP. I can't imagine what other struggles this girl may have. I don't walk in her shoes. But i do wish her to get out of L.A. and just live for awhile. No music, no media attention, just pick up the peices and gather her life again.

Knowing that there are so many peole that use this girl each and every day is heartbreaking. Brit Brit, JUST LEAVE. Holloywood loves camera, fame, and money. NOT YOU. Leave for your sake. If no one else's sake, your own.

116. What is happening to Britney is not different what is happening to thousands of women in American, specially CA. Women are constantly marginalized in the family court seating as their seek for their rights of their children that they conceived, gave birth and few the need to protect. This case is not about a " trouble Britney", this about abuse of power from the system and everyone else who wants to get some of her money. I honestly believe that the judge( commissioner) who is currently making discretion upon her case, need to step out. This guy is abusing his power of Britney and I will not be surprise if he had done to numerous other women. Michael Jackson is the real crazy one , and no judge ever took the approach to protect his children. There are thousands of kids that are removed from home by the system and place in foster homes that abuse those children in every single term , and no court system are interested in look at this issue. The system is abusing it's power and your agency is helping them to continue the abuse.

117. Every person who has followed Britney can see the writing on the wall...She needs help, she has surrounded herself with the wrong people and these people have lead a previously sweet wholesome girl into someone that is pathetic...These longtime personal friends and bodyguards have to go...Jamie Spears needs to go to court and get a power of attorney over Britney and take her away from LA, from all the press that follow her and from all these people she calls her friends. Get a restraining order against all those that have led her to become what she is now....take her away for a long period of time to get the help she needs to find the girl that she was before all this happened.
We can all judge her and the press can follow her around, but its a train wreck waiting to happen, if something is not done and she leaves the hospital to continue the way she is going, i think one of these days she will be found dead.
Who loses then, her family and especially her children.
It is a Godsend that her children have theri father, a man the press ridiculed for years but who now has shown what kind of man he really is....a man who took his children away because he had to, not cause he wanted to.....
Britney is an addict, is mentally ill and its time for everyone to leave this family alone so they can help heal , anf help Britney before its too late and she becomes another Hollywood Statistic....
My Heartfelt prayers go out to the Spears and Federline Families

118. Brit's attorney Tara Scott may be hot! While Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan is not. But even though Tara Scott is hotter... Mark Vincent Kaplan may be smarter!

119. DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THAT K-FED WAS ACTING LIKE SUCH A JERK IN THE BEGINNING THAT EVERYONE WONDERED WHY BRITNEY DIDN'T DUMP HIM ???????????

DO YOU THINK HAVING TWO BABIES BACK-TO-BACK AND THE ADDED STRESS OF A LOSER HUSBAND DIDN'T START HER DOWNWARD SPIRAL ????
I KNOW IT DID.
THINK OF THE TIMING.
SHE STARTED GOING NUTS AFTER THE HUGE STRAIN AND DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE WAY SHE WAS TREATED BY HER JERK HUSBAND.

DIVORCE IS SO COMMON, MOST PEOPLE ARE IMMUNE TO THE FACT THAT DIVORCE HURTS LIKE HELL.
BRIT GOT NO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FROM THAT FOOL K-FED THE WHOLE TIME.
REMEMBER ???????
HE WAS THUMBING HIS NOSE AT HER, WAS NEVER HOME,WAS RARELY SEEN WITH THE BABIES ??????

AFTER HE RUNS HER DOWN, THEN PEOPLE APPLAUD HOW "GREAT" HE IS NOW ?????
WHY DO I NEVER HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THE FACT HE MOST DEFINITELY RAN HER INTO THE GROUND ???????
SHE WANTED THAT MARRIAGE.
K-FED NEEDS TO STEP UP AND SAY "I TREATED HER VERY BADLY IN THE EARLY DAYS", AND "I AM SURE I AM THE MAIN REASON WHY SHE FELL APART".
GET REAL. SHE'S A HUMAN BEING, A NEW MOTHER, WITHOUT THE FATHER OF HER KIDS AROUND TO SUPPORT HER {EMOTIONALLY ,MENTALLY, AND BE A FAMILY}.
