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?

77. I THINK BRITNEY IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! She doesnt need to tell everyone her business. People getting upset over her not "explaing" more is beyond me. She is just a normal woman who wants to find true, have true friends and not live her life being scrutinized by the world. I witnessed Britney understanding what comes with her fame. I think she's strong and works very hard. Go Brit! Make it a come back, girl!

For everyone that says Britney sucks...she's a lot cooler then you or anyone you know will EVER be!! G-G-G-GET IT!!

79. I just have to say that I was stunned when I saw the old commercials being run for Britney’s perfume. They must have a truckload of that stuff in some warehouse. I just have to ask; “Who in the world wants to smell like Brit?”

80. I am soooo effing sick of this HAG. Why is the media pushing this NO-TALENT, MENTALLY ILL, VAGINA-FLASHING HAG? She needs to retire to her damn trailer park.The people who follow and support her are CLEARLY mentally ill themselves. Either that or they have really, really BAD taste. She's disgusting.

81. The sad thing about this girl is that if left alone to take care of herself she will most likely implode again. She is very clearly resentful of being under her father's thumb but if it weren't for him she would either be dead or locked up in a loony bin. The fact remains that he calls all the shots all the way down to what she's allowed to say. It's pitiful and I hardly see how this "comeback" is a real success.

84. Tmz, Did you ever stop to think and maybe "Listen" to the show that came on Mtv at 10:00pm? Poor girl never stands a chance! Its non of your business. She said what she could- You people would eat her alive if she really told all. This girl is sad and admits it and all you can do is kick her while shes down. You should be ashamed of yourself, how do you people sleep at night? At least shes living her dream..but you all just stand in the shadows and take the pictures. How gratifying!
Keep Britney in mind when you turn out your office light and walk to your car in private, go home to your "family" in serenity, and sleep in peace.

85. I honestly though it was well done. I was kind of blown away by how her life is. I actually feel sorry for her in many ways. She might be rich and famous but it also seems like she lives in a semi prison due to the insanity that follows her everywhere. I think if i had that kind of pressure and lack of real human contact I would go mental too. I can't imagine that life style really being all you know. It has been that way for years. I really hope that many the press will back off a bit and let her enjoy life and her children and go to a mall or a park an keep a respectable distance.

As for how in depth the show was I felt it gave a good sense of her reality and her life. I really don't need to know about a 5150 stay and her medical issues. That is her personal life and she should be able to keep that. So shame on you TMZ for being a bit over zealous.

86. Britney is doing just great and always will. It's just the jealous and insensitive jerks that have nothing else to do but run someone elses life down, evidently because theirs is so miserable, Get a life people......Britney already has a great one!

87. I missed it, but did Britney mention tmz goons stalking her and chasing her through red lights at high rates of speed with her kid? Also what about the tmz pap who rammed an innocent person in their car? just wondering. Tmz you are certainly no better than anyone, just out trying to make a buck distroying people's lives for your gain.

88. LEAVE BRINETY ALONE!!!!!!!!!

89. This "mockumentary" was designed for the sole pupose of promoting her new cd,no other reason.
That's why it was on MTV.
Wasn't her last cd from only like a year ago supposed to be "off the hook " and a "comeback" ? Didn't it tank and only stay in the charts for a few weeks ?

This cd will fare no better.
MTV is not stuck in 1999 when Britney first emerged and it's audience is no longer interested in her.

90. Oh, please. If she wants to be left alone so much, why is she shving her head in public and dating a pap? If the tabloids left her alone, she wouldn't know what to do with herself. She sure as hell ain't winning over the non-deaf community with that bile she spews out cshe calls music. This girl is playing the feeble-minded folk like a fiddle!
