The Britney Spears Story

Post categories:

Fraser McAlpine | 09:48 UK time, Monday, 19 February 2007

Britney singingLadies and Gentlemen, we live in interesting times. It seemed headspinning enough that a moderately interesting Radio 2-type lady singer could suddenly become amazing by performing a song about how her record company wanted her to cut down on her heavy drinking (yes, Amy Winehouse)...and that she could then proceed to celebrate by - you've guessed it - going out and getting drunk a lot...just like REAL people do...and no doubt chinking glasses with her record company peeps along the way.

And when our single biggest male pop star (no, not Mika, Robbie) re-admitted himself to rehab after he suddenly seemed to have lost a battle with his former band - one that we all knew he won years ago - well, you could tell that something was going seriously wrong in the world of pop.

But these tales, interesting though they are, are just minor tittle-tattle compared to the ongoing media face-elbow-fest which is The Britney Spears Story.

Seriously, it's like you thought your eyebrows had nowhere else to go, and then she does something else and suddenly they're on the back of your head, and the rain just streams down into your eyes, but you don't notice because you are too shocked by what is going on to pay attention to the world around you.

Young BritneySo, to recap...Britney Spears, a star at a young age, grows up in the public eye, relationship with pre-disappearance-and-retrieval-of-Sexy Justin Timberlake (!), makes startlingly good pop records (!!), nearly moves in with Justin, but they split up (!!!), makes some not-terribly-good pop records and then some AMAZING pop records, seems to enjoy a drink now and then (!!!!)...

Do you see how all of these stories only seem to be interesting if you think of Britney as being an entirely sweet and wholesome girl? Y'know, the sort of innocent teen that Americans really like a young lady to be? Or to put it another way, amazing pop records aside, surely you know of a teenage girl or two who has done stuff like this? Maybe even WORSE stuff?

But that's the level we had her pegged at, right? Innocent girl, never puts a foot wrong. So, all this stuff goes on, and those eyebrows are going up and down like billy-o, but only in the way they would if you were listening to a child telling you about some playground ruckus, it's not like they were REALLY exciting stories of a REALLY eventful life, is it?

BritneyWell, not until Britney suddenly married an old friend, as a drunken prank, in Las Vegas, and then divorced him almost immediately (!-squared). Or started dating one of her dancers, and then became pregnant (!-cubed), and then married the dancer, who everyone thought was just some lucky fairground operative with extra drool facilities, but only because he didn't fit the taste profile we all had been holding for Britney in our heads.

BritneyThey had two children and spent loads of money on really expensive things while wearing leisure clothes which looked cheaper than free - just like the rappers do - only it was Britney and that somehow seemed wrong because she was such a nice girl, so we all went (! - to the power of infinity) over and over again.

Then he started to try and carve a career for himself as a rapper, and a badly-behaved rapper at that (again, according to news reports), and the story suddenly became about what a poor mother Britney is, and all the while this really old photograph of Britney Spears: Child Star is being held up by everyone as the REAL girl we all know and love, and she must be PROTECTED from this WORLDLY MAN who is LEADING HER ASTRAY (or ASHTRAY, depending on your feelings about smokers).

BritneyNow we enter the final phase of startling Britney news. The post-Federline Britney. She went out with no pants on (! - to the power of infinity squared), she went drinking with Paris Hilton (infinity cubed), she wore clothes which were a little unflattering (infinity to the power of ten) and, the final straw, she cut off all her hair (infinity to the power of infinity squared, plus a MILLION).

Meanwhile, out in the real world, women are going out with no pants on, in unflattering clothes, and having ugly haircuts ALL THE TIME. But they don't care, because none of them have to conform to what people remember them to have been like when they were 16. Unless it's in front of their grandparents, naturally.

BritneySo, while it's entirely possible that being the very famous Britney Spears has driven the real Britney Spears to commit some fairly desperate public acts just so that people realise that she is no longer a teenager, it's also possible that it's not rehab, or therapy, or medication that she really needs, but for people to stop reacting like she's guilty just because she clearly isn't innocent any more.

SO THERE!

PS: Having said all that, according to child star Joss Stone's publicity people, she actually WASN'T drunk at the Brit Awards when she did all that tottering around and singing like a busker and all...it seems she really IS LIKE THAT. Now, bearing in mind she's had a lot of flak for this, which version of events do you think is more damaging? Personally, I liked her more when I thought she was drunk and annoying, rather than just annoying...

    re: ms stone - i think she might have just killed her comeback in the UK. Americans will be far more impressed by R. Saddiq producing her new record. I thought she seemed more like a evangelical preacher of some kind, using a poor attempt at comedy to get her point (whatever it was) across. Odd to the n-th degree. I liked her better when she was smiley cute no shoes Joss.

    Britney is one of us! I think the only reason why she has turned to drink and the cause for her stress is YOU! If the press left her alone and magazines didn't make up such stupid stories or pick bad points about her then she could live a normal happy life..like she should be able to. Pathetic things like putting her on the front cover because of the clothes she wears. So what? If shes comfortable let her wear it without being dragged down and slagged off for it. If anyone should be slagged off or had sarcastic remarks about them are the people who do it to her. Let her live her life and have fun without people following her and abusing how she lives and cares for her children. She is trying her hardest but shes being dragged down by people. She feels pressured which makes her panic and now shes even doing silly things little tripping over infront people. Its a mistake. Everybody does it.

    I just dont understand how people get the satisfaction over watching people cry on interviews. And for the people who do feel sorry for her, why go out and buy the magazines to read about her 'bad mothering skills'.

    ...And yet people wonder why shes going into rehab? Shaving her hair? Getting tattos and becoming confused and unstoppable. Leave the poor girl alone befoe you driver her any further!

    It Takes A BRAVE!!! (very Brave) Women To Shave Off Her Hair!!
    So Dont Jip!
    All Everyone Does Is Jip Her!!... What Is the Point!!

    To Be Honest I think Maybe she is trying to experiment!!

    Just Leave It ...

    At the end of the day she has had her ups and downs and its up to britney what she wants to do with her hair!!!

    So if Anyone has a complaint about this comment then plz posta complaint!!

    Not sure why you quoted my post in reference to this!

    I was agreeing with the post that she's so different to anyone else and its a shame how things have turned out with the press dissing her every move. You start off defending Britney and then saying that its wrong because every girl will copy her. Although I don't think people will copy her in quite such high numbers.

    Not sure what your post has got to do with mine though! What's Kylie got to do with anything anyway?

    Confusing

    People, jump at the chance of talking about other people. everybody does it! But for god's sake give the poor lady a break over the last few months or so all i've read is stories about Britney and how she's so called "crazy" i have to say i completely disgree with ALL comments published about Britney as all she is doing is living life like the rest of us. I mean how would you feel if every little thing you did was out on the front page of every magazine slating you for something EVERYBODY does? The paparazzi really need to learn to gain some respect for celebs and give them a break once in a while! Britney is only human! I really feel for Britney and hope to God that all this will only make her a stronger and better person in the future!! Love you Britney and keep your head up girl xx

    People dont realise how hard it must be for Britney being scrutinised every minute by everyone. Yes, she has made some mistakes, and yes she sometimes does look like a bad mother, however if you look at an average mother she will make just as many mistakes as Britney and will learn from them as Britney will. Just because she makes these mistakes, she doesn't deserved to be called a bad mother - especially as she loves her children, and if reports from the US are to believed, she loves them so much that she shaved her hair in order to stop K-Fed using drugs testing to gain custody of their children!

    I support Britney all the way. Yes, some of her "publicity stunts" have been rather out of the ordinary, however her rocky marriage with K-Fed and having two children so close together in the public eye would obviously put tremendous strain on the poor woman. As for being a bad mother, every first time mother makes mistakes, its the only way to learn. Worse things have happened behind closed doors but the fact that Britney has been famous for so long seems to make it ok for the media to slate her about every tiny detail in her life that she gets wrong. It's blatantly clear that Brit is having a tough time at the moment, so jut give her a break and get your claws into someone else, all Britney needs is some peace and quiet and time to pick up the pieces of her life, and figure out (career-wise and life-wise) what she wants to do. Good luck Brit. x

    I'm not a fan of Britney at all, but all I see is someone who has gone through a lot of change in her life and is somehow rebelling. Is it that bad to shave your head nowadays? I don't think so! She's quite talented in what she does (or has done!), so what gives us the right to criticise when she does something out of the blue. Aren't we all spontaneous creatures anyway?? Good luck Britney!!! Don't listen to the critics...be yourself!! (Honestly, I'm not a fan!!)

    I think Britney has done it for attention seeking....Maybe she is so used to being told yes that will be a good record , but to be honest most pop careers only have so much to offer...After cutting her hair off it makes you think she is crying out for attention , but anything is possible with pop stars.They do it to boost their sales of records!! Hey! Look at me and then buy my records.....

    Anyone that has lots of money goes mad...Look and M Jackson...Too many folk around you saying yes all the time for your cash...

    The music industry is there to make money and make money out of people...

    I have had enough of britney being on the telly and in papers and magazines its like the people who write this stuff havnt got anything else to do their lives are so boring so they pick on some one else's. i think britney should do what she wants and i hope she is happy doing it. maybe she would spend more time taking her boys places if the press didnt follow her every where.

    good luck britney

    This was great reading material, its all so true! Some of the stuff she has done was crazy, over the top but eveyone makes mistakes, so what?! they get over it. I still love britney after everything thats happened, i just cant wait until shes back on track in the music industry! She should keep strong and forget what people think, shes amazing and just like any other person, but she has a true talent!

    IM SORRY BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
    what is wrong with shaving your head!?
    Lots of people hair no hair.
    it's nothing to be ashamed about.
    so leave her alone. Imagine what it's like to be her.! If you don't who knows what she'll do next.

    She has it all and has nothing blame who you want, she has to be strong and look forward to her future, she has 2 beautiful little boys take time out to enjoy them and have some fun with them she has the money to employ staff to do the usual chores unlike most of us and she should DITCH THAT SO CALLED HUSBAND ONCE AND FOR ALL, HE IS NOTHING BUT SCUM AND SHE DESERVES MUCH BETTER

    Why is everyone making such a big deal about Britney's new hair? It's her hair and her choice so why should she be judged so much because of it. If i cut all my hair off no-one would judge me so why judge her just because she's famous?

    Just because she cut all her hair off doesn't mean she's gone nuts!
    It must be hard being in the public light every day of your life. One moent she's called a blonde bimbo because of her locks, then she's called a chav simply for wearing a tracky! Then she's a fag ash lil, dirty tramp for wearing no underwear, now she's off her head for shaving her hair off!
    It's so harsh, she must have to read stupid and hurtful rumours about herself every day, plus the pressure of just splitting with a husband and dealing with two young kids is hard enough for any woman!
    Give the woman a break people! I back her 100%!

    She's a 24 year old woman, not a kid and if she's acting like this then it shows she clearly has a problem.
    They should get her in a special unit so she cant keep quitting rehab, i think we can safely say her music career is done and dusted, she will NEVER EVER redeem herself after this, ah well it was good while it lasted! All i can think about is the embarrassment those poor little boys have got to go through when they see the pictures of their mother without any knickers on, i mean its just an impossible situation...are they gonna be better off with "k-fed" or "Britney Shears"??

    i think u're totaly right about the fact that people react like she's guilty for the things she does just because she isn't "innocent" anymore but i also think that i f she wants to prove not being an innocent teenager she should do so, not by shaving her head or partying with paris hilton, but by doing other ( more mature ) things and reilize that she's a mother of 2 kids who need her!!! now am i right or am i right??? PEACE xoxox
