Brit Dodges the 5,150 Pound Elephant

There was no Britney Spears documentary last night, there was only propaganda.
Britney Spears: Click to watch
Funny that a feature film that was supposed to examine everything in her life conveniently glossed over the parts where she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold, flashed the no-no bits, hung around scumbags like Sam Lutfi and Adnan, and was placed under a conservatorship after being strapped onto a gurney -- twice.

Bottom line -- Britney and MTV had an opportunity to help us understand the real Britney. Then again, when a Britney tell-all is sponsored by a Britney perfume line, how real could it possibly get?

136. LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

Posted at 11:26AM on Dec 8th 2008 by AndrewW

137. How full of sh*t can you be Britne?. Southern accent, English accent or No accent. She is pulling sh*t out of her a** on this video. "I'm sad." Oh please girl. Any woman...who most women in the US haven't had it as easy as you...can get it together for two young boys. "I didn't want to go home because that's where my babies were." Well..you should have pulled your head out instead of driving around aimlessly looking like an idiot and spent time with your kids. I don't feel sorry for her one little bit. Raising kids might be challenging in the spotlight but many hundreds of celebrities do it every day. SPEAR BRITNEY and keep her image off tv. It's not good for little girls!!

138. LEAVE HER ALONE! Oh my gosh, get a clue. She is only 27 but has already gone through a divorce (2 actually), had 2 kids and had to grow up so publicly that she probably just wanted to discover WHO SHE REALLY IS when she went out clubbing and freaked out. Don't tell me that you have never freaked out before. Never broken down, made bad decisions, gone out clubbing with your friends several nights in a row, flashed a body part that you didn't mean to, said too much, dated crazy people.... SHE IS HUMAN. I know people that lead worse lives than she does and they get away with it because they are not in the spotlight. Maybe you forgot how much it hurts when your heart breaks.... hers broke, but her life didn't get the chance to slow down so she could greave like a normal person.

140. Every single staffer at tmz needs to get on their knees and praise britney because without her all of you people useless to anyone else would have no paycheck!

141. OMG TMZ. Lay off Britney. She is amazing. Shut up all ready, your part of the reason she had to have a 5150 in the first place.

142. Wow,this is really really sad. I feel bad now,for considering her a fake,because she actually looks genuinely upset here,its the kind of sad,that makes me feel sad too....ha. I used to be all anti-mainstream & anti-pop before, but i guess it was just a "phase",as much as i hated Britney then, I've lightened up and actually enjoy pretty much all music now whether it be mainstream pop or underground metal\rap, and i don't care much for this "you sold out!" crap anymore, and (dare i say?!) Britney's new stuff has kind of grown on me. Hopefully she'll pull herself together,and make HUGE comeback!

143. I think the girl just needs to be an artist and everyone just needs to let her be, She obviously knows she has made mistakes. Let her learn from them and let her her live. It's really kind of sad. It's an "Elvis" situation. The man couldn't leave Graceland without making special arrangements and heaven forbid he try to leave during the day. Britney has the same issues to a degree. She made the statement that she couldn't leave with her kids and do anything, That's sad. Those children can't experience a normal childhood and she misses out on experiences because of that. We "normal" people don't know the pressure she's under. I think that "we" should just leave her alone and let her live her life. I understand that the spotlight comes with being a celebrity but there' s a point that people need to just back off and let celebrities have a little privacy.

144. LOL. All we saw here was her making really bad jokes and the group of people she's pays to surround her pretending they were funny. I swear, I've never seen more pathetic people than the ones in this show who were glued to her every word. I wept for humanity a little bit. That, and honestly, woman, if you hate the result of fame, stop putting out albums, take your money, and buy a private place. You ask for the spotlight, quit whining about it. I'd happily trade problems.

145. seriously - poor britney? it must be awful to be rich and famous. i just pity all of those poor stars in hollywood who live like sultans. i don't buy that crap. brit's big problem is that no one ever told her now until it was too late.

146. Some of you people are just plain rude and heartless ,proberly because your jelous refering mainly to the comment left by "She's a DISGUSTING Loser!" i'm not a huge fan of britney and i don't think she is very smart either, who cares if the docomentary is a PR stunt the point is she is very talented or she wouldn't be were she is. no one understands the life of the rich and famous unless you are part of there crowd. i'm sure it is a very hard and demanding life style. not being able to have any privacy, having people talk trash about you when they don't truly understand. having everything you do or say judged by millions and millions of people everyday. you can't please everyone so you should please yourslef first. so many entertainers are diagnosed with depression, or have alchole and drug problems to cope with there life. we all cope and deal with things differently and go thru our own problems. the difference is just because she is famous the public choose to make her private life public aswell. how would you like it if your private life was flashed on the front page of every newspaper and magazine. her private life isn't what made her famous its her singing and dancing, thats why people love britney so whats the big deal about her private life hundreds of other non-famous people do worse things everyday but do we treat them like we do the famous?. No we don't, we treat famous people worse and when it comes down to it all, its our pure jelousy, as humans we cant be happy for others who do better in life then us, so we try our hardest to make it horrible for them, its not there fault if they were born talented but it is to choose to share it with the world so we should be greatful for the famous people or we wouldn't have music or movies to enjoy in the first place. grow up people put your self in there shoes for once and stop being so judgmental and heartless.

147. Could care less about what she did or did not talk about.
"Poor kid, poor babay"
Are you people nuts?
She is a grown woman!
All she did is whine, whine, whine.
The shame of the whole situation is that she has two children who will someday see this and hear how mommy hated her life so much and how boring it was and so on.
FEEL SORRY FOR THE BABIES!!!!!!!!!
All of us give up so many things when we become mothers, your life is not your own and that is the way it should be, it's called responsability.
I have no harsh words for Brittney except Stop blubbering, grow up and get it together for the sake of your children! 27 is not a child!! You are nearly 30 for gooness sakes!!!!!!!

148. One more thing...
All of this "she has been through so much" bull needs to stop, she is no different than most people except that maybe she has more resources to get help!
I was divorced at 21, had many bouts of depression, in a terrible car accident, addicted to pain meds which led to herion addiction and NOBODY pitied me.I picked myself up BECAUSE and only BECAUSE of my children!!!!!! I would have chased that dragon forever if not for my children.
I now run a business OWN a home in the burbs and have two new cars and am now 35, it took all those years but here I am.
If you get your head out of your ass, it is possible! I am living proof.

149. Is it any of our business about the medical issues???? Come on people, this young lady was married, had 2 children back to back, her husband treated her like dirt and then when she finally was rid of him she wanted to feel the freedom she had lost over the previous 2 years....and the media would not allow it, I think anyone would have lost control of themselves at some point if we were in her shoes....it is none of our business, she is a human being and she does not owe us every detail of her personal or family life, GET OVER IT!

150. omg you people need to stfu and get a life. If she had a mental breakdown it is NOT your business or mine. Deal with it. Who cares if she is bi polar and doesnt want to talk about it. We live with a sense of entitlement its sickening. And all you losers demanding that she needs to explain it to you? pfft... whatever, Your all nothing but whiney spoiled bastards. It is none of your business. Case closed.

I thought she was very funny .. I loved her skit about her Dad and I was laughing .. She loves her kids and when the reality sunk in that the boys really did have to go home that night she had a meltdown because of her love of her kids, thats why she locked herself in the bathroon with one. Not because she was gonna hurt anyone but because it was breaking her heart and thats all she could do was run away to the washroom. You dont need a bachelors degree to figure that out.

Her and K-fed are talking and getting along, its obvious he IS interested in her health and happiness as well as his childrens because he has SOLE custody he has the right to deny her the ability to bring the boys to NY when she is working. He is giving her alot. He doesnt have to but he is.. so good for him and good for them, Im just glad to see some normalcy here for the kids sake.

As for her Dad noone knows the history of that family thats her father and her opinion of him stems from her childhood, we do not know the man and all we know is what we seen of him since he came in and helped his daughter get organized. Doesnt mean he was always this way. So cut her some slack, not all fathers are perfect, but he does love her and she does love him even if it would kill her to admit it.

All I can say is thank god she saw the light and turfed the pyscho sam lufti and I hope she gets back with kfed and leaves the camel jockey alone.. hes nothing but a user.

Best of luck brit.
