Britney checked out of Promises after one day…again!
What is going on with her? As fun as it is to watch the freak show, I was hoping she would get a lot out of rehab and become a good mother.
I heard a rumor on another board that the reason she shaved her head is because she got into a fight with Kevin and he threatened to have her hair tested for drugs. This was from a message board post, not even a tabloid, but if it’s true, it explains the shearing.
The report seems to come from OK magazine by way of Extra. Those are the sources I always rely on for my news.
Is it true? Is it not true but believed by an alcoholic having a nervous breakdown? We’ll find out in a few years when Kitty Kelly does her tell-all book.
In the meantime, hair grows back in a few days. Tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel for the thrilling conclusion to our saga.
On Monday night, Craig Ferguson’s opening monologue related to Britney’s public implosion. It was an amazing speech, especially for a late-night TV host: sincere, honest, insightful, and funny. He discussed his own alcoholism (currently fifteen years sober), the circumstances under which he bottomed out, etc., and then related it to Britney and the easy way everyone seems to be ignoring what is, or may be, actually going on with her.
Here is the clip; it’s about 12 minutes long, and well worth watching to the end.
Frankly, after watching it, I’ve lost all interest in taking pot-shots at easy, vulnerable targets. (This may well change in the future.)
Easy? Yes. Vulnerable? Come on! She isn’t some poor, lost waif who can’t help herself. She’s an industry. She’s an employer who’s workers make more than damn near anybody on this board. Her own children and those of others depend on her for sustenance.
The woman has spent years paying her employees and retainers to keep her photo in front of the American public – then she goes clubbing in a miniskirt and no underpants, knowing damn well there will be an army of photographers within inches of her body, and with PARIS HILTON, FERCHRISSAKE!!
Remember what a media whore Madonna was in her early days? Are there photos of her naked cooch splashed all over the internet? Nope! Did Elvis ever hang out with his wang out? Don’t think so! And as bad a boy as Robert Downey, Jr., was/is, no rehab center ever had to install a revolving door for him.
Britney Spears has been given huge opportunities to make something significant of her life, and she squanders them almost daily. She deserves all the razzing she gets.
