46. To Kello Kitty: we should hear from lawdawg about this, but I'm pretty sure that a person who has reached the age of legal adulthood cannot be put under a conservatorship simply because of attention-getting behavior, nor because the parents just happen to want that. And I don't think this could occur just because the person is viewed as being under the control of others.

I'm pretty sure that if a court believes that a person is being harmed by the controlling behavior of othes, then the remedy is to charge those others with a crime, not put the victim under a conservatorship. And in any case, we know that not even Sam has been charged with anything.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm fairly confident that a person has to be diagnosed as being incapable of caring for themself either physically or mentally before they will be assigned a conservator.

Lawdawg?

47. TMZ: I know how much you must have looked forward to using that headline, but HIMYM actually IS a pretty funny show. get your bitter, little copywriters to work a bit harder next time. How I Met... You're Mental?

49. It's supposed to be a cutesey sitcom and that's what she played...I think it was adorable. Get off her ass, most of you haters probably couldn't even make a 2 minute speech at your kid's PTA meeting

52. You may certainly be right ZMT.. and Lawdawg does give excellent legal info! I think TMZ just posts tid bits of questionable info to frustrate and hook us! LOL

53. That's not cool that TMZ would talk crap about someone that is attempting to get a grasp at their life again. You pathetic bastards profit when someone screws up. How sad, and btw the commercials that pop up while I try to watch a video is the reason why I will not visit TMZ.com anymore. YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!

You Go Brit!!!!

55. TMZ, you are frickin' retards. No matter who the celebrity is, you go out of your way to show them in their worst light, posting the most unflattering pictures, and making the most assinine comments. On a scale of 1 -10 for responsible human citizenship, TMZ is zero. Good luck looking yourselves in the mirror and your mothers in the face,

I totally agree with your assessment of TMZ! ... and of lawdawg. I guess we just have to wait for her before we can know for sure what the real answer is to this issue.

Anyway, I'm off now. You're a very nice person, Hello Kitty. Have a good night.

Later gators.

(well, one more post before I go)

I totally agree, Ray. And if you think it's bad the way TMZ is reporting on Britney, check out the way they're dealing with Amy Winehouse. That poor girl needs serious help, and TMZ just treats her like a circus sideshow freak and mocks her by calling her names like "Amy Jailhouse".

OK. Now I'm leaving for sure.

58. I'm so sad reading all of your comments. Then I remember who most of the people are who read this website. Okay, first to #1, you said,
"SHE'S ADORABLE AND WILL MAKE A GREAT ACTRESS. Don't forget Marilyn Monroe was the worst actess of all and Britney is stellar compared to her."
first its 'Actress' not 'actess'. second, did you REALLY just compare Marilyn Monroe and Britney Spears? Have you seen "Some Like It How"? Monroe had the comedic timing and talent to match her super sexy looks. The takes in her films are long and require line memorization and talent. On HIMYM there is a cut every 10 seconds, giving her the opportunity to work line to line. AND IT SHOWS.

Okay, second. #47, you said,
"Doesn't anyone here realize that she is SUPPOSED to be playing a ditz?? The acting will be bad..."
Playing a ditz does NOT mean that the acting is supposed to be bad. Amanda Seyfred was so amazing as Karen in 'Mean Girls' and I cannot get over how genuine and truthful Olivia Thirlby was as Leah in 'Juno'.

Let's just all accept it for what it was, Britney Spears trying to make a comeback doing something she was never good at. And it failed. And that's that. Get over it. She was bad. Move on.

59. Love the clip! Brit is wonderful - true entertainer!

Can't wait to see the show - which I usually do not watch.

You Go Girl

60. Oh, for crying out loud people... GIVE IT A REST ALREADY. The jokes and crap about Britney are so old now. She's obviously doing better. When I hit play on this video I was thinking it was going to be AWFUL, but it was just like any normal acting you'd see on any sitcom. People exaggerate WAY too much when it comes to Britney.
