Brit has never had trouble keeping weight on. ---

> [@Mouse\_Maven](#): > > :smack: I don’t follow her other than what comes on the news. The last picture I saw, she looked thin for the mother of an 8 month old. (Then she does have the money to hire a nanny and go the gym…) Eh, I guess, but she is only 24-years-old. There’s no reason she wouldn’t be able to take the baby weight off in eight months. And as a celebrity who essentially makes a living off of her looks, you’d think she would try a little harder. I think she had it in her to get back into pre-pregnancy condition, but I guess it wasn’t a priority for her. And yeah, her body might be wrecked after this next one. ---

I had to post this here. I was just reading through the celebrity news at IMDB and happened across a blurb on how Britney’s agents were totally shocked that she got preggers again because they thought she really wanted to do this Janis Joplin biopic and now she won’t be able to do it. Britney Spears as Janis Joplin?! Thank goodness she got pregnant again and spared us that travesty. ---

Out of random curiosity, what is it that inspires this… enthusiastic aggression against celebrities that most people online have never, and probably never will, met in person? Why is it that everyone feels the need to talk about how Britney is white trash because she has had two kids in rapid succession, or that Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes gave their kid an unusual name, or whatever random pointless crap like that? ---

Because they are willing public figures, and ones easy to ridicule at that. ---

> [@HazelNutCoffee](#): > > AMEN. Jesus God, whose idea _was_ that? You and **Wile E** can both rest assured that it wasn’t for real. Her people are in the habit of constantly floating these rumors about her non-existant career. A couple of others I’ve seen lately are “starring in a play” and “having her own sitcom”. It’s just not going to happen, but it keeps her name out there, and it keeps what’s left of her fans excited about the possiblity of a comeback. **Raguleader** In Britney’s case it’s the arrogance of her self-delusion about how important she is and how wonderful her loser husband is. When she did her awful home movie reality show the tagline was “Can you handle our truth?” followed by hours of videotape of the two of them acting like idiots all over Europe. Another thing she said about finally achieving her sparkly dream of Prince Charming and True Love Forever was “I’m sorry you don’t have what I have”. Tom Cruise has also show a lot of arrogance, especially in talking about treating post-partum depression with “vitamins” and whatever other junk science his cult advocates. He also slagged on Brooke Shields for recieving treatment for her PPD after her first daughter was born. So, basically it’s both that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and that it’s not his business what Brooke Shields does to try to get herself right so she can take care of her baby. He’s also batshit insane and a lot of people think he and Katie faked the pregnancy. ---

> [@Jeep's Phoenix](#): > > And don’t forget the number of times that Spawn #1 has been dropped on his head. Yeah, no shit. I bet that bitch purposely broke the high chair, just so she could drop the kid on his head. Yup, fucking bitch should have her kid taken away because a piece of an accident involving a faulty high chair. Yes, sir. :rolleyes: ---

Yup, fucking bitch should have her kid taken away because a piece of an accident involving a faulty high chair. Yes, sir. :rolleyes: Somehow I think there was more to it than that. I’ve taken my child to the hospital for an injury before and CPS was never called. The law might be different out in Cali, but around here CPS doesn’t just investigate for every bump and scrape. ---

You don’t think it’s a bit odd that she first blamed a nanny, and then blamed the supposedly faulty high chair? And where’s the national recall on these deadly high chairs? ---

The law might be different out in Cali, but around here CPS doesn’t just investigate for every bump and scrape. She was already investigated once for driving with an infant on her lap, so her file was probably right there on the top of the pile. Ave Dementia, it is indeed a relief to hear that there was never a Janis Joplin biopic, but you never can tell what kind of craziness these Hollywood folks might come up with.
