Britney Works Belly, Then Works Fans

For the first time in a while, Britney Spears lost that glazed over look and actually looked happy.


Showing signs of progress at Bally's, Brit had paps cheering her on as she did crunches -- and the poster child for conservatorships even took time to show a fan some love on her way out. Looks like 5150 ain't nothin' but a number.

31. 26. Britney sees her kids every morning, why does everyone say she is ignoring her children?? i give her family credit for stepping in and helpingher finally get well. It really does show that Sam lufti was drugging her in my opinion and creating a dependence on him from Brit so he could take her money and control her. Sam is out and look at the difference in her?? TMZ, layoff the sleazy non-funny comments, she is trying! I know you are upset that she is not screwing up anymore, Paris stopped, Lindsay also for the most part stopped, you need to help mess up someone elses life now so you feel like you are important.

Holy freakin' crap are you an idiot! She sees her kids for about 9 hours a week, so that must make her mother of the year, right? And you actually buy that Parisite is in love and not trying to rehab a completely dead career? And LoHo? Other sites are all talking about her slipping off the wagon and sucking down massive amounts of alcohol again-with pics of her drinking too! Wow!

Mental illness isn't comedy. It's a tragedy. We should be thankful when it doesn't strike someone in our families.

Medication and therapy have come so far in the past few decades and I am pleased to see that it seems to be working for her, in conjunction with the conservatorship.

Just because someone is mentally ill and has a "fixable, manageable" illness doesn't mean that they are broken for life unless they choose to be. Sometimes it is difficult to separate the illness and their actions from the personality inside that is lost and suffering. To wish continued mental illness is harsh.

Alzheimers is an example. If it were one of my parents or grandparents who were running around naked in the neighborhood and were lost, it would be a sad thing if no one helped them and only used them as bait to get some good video footage to sell. Poking them with a stick and laughing and waiting for their next "lapse" would be undeniably cruel.

34. Agreed OCD, but some will argue she doesn't have mental illness. I know you are up to it though.

35. Well thankfully she doesn't have Alzheimer's too! We've already seen enough of her nasty naked ass flashing everyone! Besides, she's the idiot who demands to be constantly in the public eye!

36. The IDIOT that demands to constantly be in the public eye would be Paris Not Britney! Paris is more screwed up than Brit will ever be............Everything she does, FAILS!

I don't know if I am up for the argument today. It's been tried before.

To think that this young woman was not actually mentally ill and everything was "staged" would take too many involved parties with absolutely nothing in common.

The LAPD, doctors (too numerous to count), therapists, court monitors, judges, etc. To think that they all took part in a publicity conspiracy tailored to benefit Britney Spears makes me giggle.

*shrug* Sometimes things really are as they appear to be, although I am highly reluctant to believe much of what is in the media these days. She's a young woman who has some serious mental issues, but seems to be getting back on track. She went from "what the hell is she thinking?" to "uh-oh, there's something really serious going on here."

Yes, I wanted to gnaw my toes off watching her spiral downward and knowing that unless the judicial system acted (in cooperation with either Federline or her parents), the girl was destined to go down in a ball of flames. Hopefully she is becoming stabilized and will be able to have a life and be a positive influence as a mother to her children.

Being self-destructive for that long isn't an "act". There are plenty of people in LA who act out at times in order to get attention, but to do so consistently is a sign that there is some serious underlying wonkiness going on.

38. When is TMZ going to realize that WE DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT BRITNEY IS DOING EVERY SECOND OF HER LIFE?

40. OCD ~ what is your take on Paris and her family?

Posted at 11:18AM on Apr 22nd 2008 by Dallas

41. IMO...Britney uses the whole "mentally ill" as a way to keep herself out of jail. Any regular joe who did half the things she did would be locked up. That is what makes me angry. I also find it very upsetting to read people posting things "pro britney". She repeatedly broke the law when driving, she ignored court dates, she basically abandoned her children, the list goes on and on. Britney needs to know the things she has done are not acceptable, whether you are celeb or not. Praising her and cheering her on, it would seem, will on confirm what she seems to already believe which is being a rich celeb makes you untouchable and not at all responsible for your actions.

42. Reinhard,
You are a moron. You sound like you are about maybe 11 or 12. Are you home from school today and playing on Mommy and Daddy's computer? Grow up little boy and STFU.

Personally, I think the Hilton's should have taken charge of their children years ago. All that running around and partying at such an early age might have made them look like "cool socialite" parents, but I can't see where it would be helpful or healthy to dress your girls up like Barbie dolls and throw them into the fashion/social scene at such tender ages. Then for them to have cash, limos and every other thing at their immediate disposal would seem to be a case of too much, too soon, with no guidance.

All kids are different, but that's just not my parental style. There are plenty of socialite children who go bad, but then there are many who don't, so I don't necessarily believe it's a question of money. All children are going to push the envelope. They want to know that there are boundaries, which make them feel safer. If they keep searching for those boundaries and never find them, I would imagine that it is very disconcerting since few are mature enough to set their own boundaries.

Hell, if babies were born mature, parents would be redundant. : )
