Entertainment Today: Britney Thoughts that Go Beyond ‘Oy!’

Oy is a polite word for what happened on Sunday night.

Oops, she didn’t do it again — she didn’t do it at all.

Britney blew it, and there is definitely something wrong. I tried to believe she was a victim of gossip and those haters who try to bring people on top, down. I got mad when people took swipes at her body — hey, for someone who just had two kids within the last few years, she looked amazing. You should see the rest of the women in the country after having two kids, a divorce and a full time job — she looked fine. I got mad at people who trash her clothes — she’s trailer trash — but so what? She’s still a human being. But when I saw her perform, she was using a fraction of her talent, and that was really sad to me.

Britney has NOT worn out her welcome. People love to dump — especially on women, and Britney’s got target written all over her. The more she’s in the public eye, the greater that bulls eye.

What’s clear, however, is how desperate she is for approval. I mean, marrying Kevin Federline, years ago, when his baby mama was pregnant, was a sign of low self esteem on Britney’s part that she just didn’t see. And she’s clearly, clearly, troubled, still. She’s hurt that her marriage didn’t work out (yes K-Fed is creepy, but she still loved him, married him, had children with him, and was rejected by him in the marriage and that hurts). She’s hurt that everyone is moving on. She’s hurt that her life didn’t turn out the way she thought it would. She’s growing up. Unfortunately, she’s doing it in the limelight, and it’s not a graceful experience for most people.

My advice for Brit Brit is to take a hiatus from the limelight. Gimme More is a great song. Let it sell without a lot of promotion. Keep the fifty-fifty custody and raise your boys. Make some friends who aren’t in the entertainment industry and stay out of the spotlight. The pressure is killing you.
