I pray she gets the support and help she needs. She's a trainwreck. Those poor kids....

Amen. She has a "God shaped hole" in her life that I pray He fills for her.

[clemsontigers23]

Take the kids away and give them to her parents. Heck, give them to K-Fed. They would be better off with him than Britney.

Agreed 100%. She's now on a 72-hour mental lockdown:

[clemsontigers23]

Oh, okay, so K-Fed already has the children. Good. Now let's see if he'll live up to his promise to be a better parent than Britney and not go out partying at nightclubs with Paris Hilton.

[Tony Trout]

Here's what a friend of mine says about this whole tragic situation:

"I think Britney is more than just a train wreck that's happenning. She's a train wreck that has happened. Someone needs to intervene on her behalf so she doesn't end up dying, and someone needs to intervene for her kids because they deserve better. While Federline is no saint, he is compared to her."

[wannabaRSgirl]

So, I haven't read much about this yet, but was she taken to the hospital because of a collapse, or a breakdown with police, or because of the unknown substance she was tripping on?

I cried when I heard this news. I so want to see her get her life back together.

Not sure at this point. It's like the chicken and the egg, no one knows! I so would love to take that girl to the midwest, away from everyone and help her get her life back. What a tragedy!

[DareDevil]

I'm beginning to wonder whether Britney has more than "just" a drug problem. Seriously, somebody should check her asap to see whether her problems have a more physical cause or not. Especially the Borderline personality disorder comes to my mind. Still, that's just an assumption from my part.

We could refer her to Dr. House.

[R. Smith]

I'm not to worried about Brittany, not at all. She needed to come to an end to herself, and like what other people on the boards said...fill that God shaped hole with God. She seems to be searching, in a public way. She is out of control, and her kids should be given to the Father right now.

[1inamillion]

I think the kids do need their mother but also they need to be in a protected enviroment IMHO no celeb should have kids cuz they are (for the most part) rather irresposnible I think I'd rather Britts kids put in a lovin home where the people there don't want them as a trophy to show off. Have yall noticed it seems to be the trend in celebs to be pregnant poor Jamie....

Think you may be going a little extreme there? There's more irresponsible, unstable "normal" people, so should we stop reproducing too?

[Healing Oil]

As far as I have heard, they have suspended her monitored visits with the children, and they are in the custody of K-Fed. I say Praise God! And it would be an awful idea (IMO) to give those babies to her mother. Her mother has created enough havoc for her daughters.

I knew Britney was in trouble, but I didnt think it was this bad. She needs immediate help before they find she has taken her own life.

I heard that there was no evidence of her being under the influence of anything, but that it may of been more of a mental issue. One minute she was frantic and screaming, the next she was laughing...

So so sad...

(By the way E- You spelled it Brittany...it is Britney. I wouldnt normally make a fuss but since I am actually Brittany :P, and I am not in trouble (again) :rolleyes: )

To be honest no i don't feel i'm being extreme that was only IMHO yall don't have to agree i'm just stateing what i feel

[JanetRN]

After watching all of this play out on TV I actually got to thinking that K-fed has really played her. He has taunted, pushed, and antagonized her to the breaking point. He is living off of her money (and has been from the beginning). Now that he has the kids he has secured his future of never having to work a day in his life... or at least until they're 18. I think that things would have been very different for her if he wasn't the "driving force" behind her.

[rossid]

Okay, back to Beka, should these two have had kids?

[1inamillion]

who britt and k fed? honestly. no. they do but they shouldn't i mean look at the poor kids they need their mother..no wait i take that back they need real mother not some ....person like her.....she's being a terrible influence to people everyone kids see her all drugged up or whatever and they think oh she can do it we can to if its ok with her doing it why not us?

I totally agree. K-Fed played, and used her. I don't think she can cope with him having the kids, and going on with life not caring about her. I feel very bad for her, and I pray for her. I hate to say this, but she should have learned from his prior relationship. K-Fed left Shar Jackson when she was late in the pregnancy with their second child. Any guy who would do that isn't someone who have values. I hope she one day gets full custody of the kids and gets her act together.

[SmileyFreak1981]

Britney Spears is a prime example of why kids and teenagers don't need to be in the entertainment business. She needs to get away from Los Angeles and all the stupid paparazzi and media, and go figure out who she really is. But she has to want to do it, and I don't think she does. I hope she eventually will, for the sake of herself and her kids, but it really will take an act of God for that to happen because she's WAY out of control.

I've never been a fan of hers or anything, but I do hope that she gets it together and that God will work a miracle with her.

Plus, I'm tired of seeing and hearing and reading about her...

[Pouye]

Anyone surprised?

But for the grace of God, any female born into her situation (and with her looks/talents/etc.) would not do any better. She's a product of the world. She doesn't know Christ, and she has all of the trappings of the world -- the temptations, money, and everything that makes human beings prideful and corrupt.

She needs Jesus, just like the girl next door to you who doesn't know Him but isn't as outwardly messed up.

K-Fed's attorney after yesterday's hearing: "There's no winners here."

[NurseBettyLu]

Amen. As a nurse who specializes in pediatric homecare -- oh, if I could only tell you some of the things I've seen. There are parents who are just as lost and mixed up, you just don't hear about them because they're not in the public eye. There but quite literally by the grace of God go any of us. Pray. And go hug your kids.

I disagree...Im actually quite suprised how K-Fed has handled all this. He has stepped out of the lime light to try and take care of these kids. I never liked him at all, simply for the reason that he's not very talented and he was a mooch (and the Shar Jackson situation). I still dont care for him. But considering her behaviour vs. his since their split, I choose him.

Britney has made her choices. I dont believe he forced them out of her. Granted that none of us know what is said behind closed doors...but outside of those doors, K-Fed has demonstrated a much more stable attitude than her.

I read today that Dr. Phil visited her in the hospital, wow!

She needs to get away from Los Angeles and all the stupid paparazzi and media, and go figure out who she really is. But she has to want to do it, and I don't think she does.
Agreed.

[pamcharlie]

Yes i agree that Brittany really needs jesus and she needs some serious intervention now that her life is heading down a really bad path now i hope that if she is sentenced to rehab that she stays there and gets cleaned up it is so shocking that her kids even though they are very young have to see their mom in this stage let's keep praying for her . Maybe she needs to hear third day's song cry out to jesus since she really needs to cry out to jesus at this time of her life .

[Healing Oil]

We need BethelRN to chime in...
Yea, I wondered that too. :(

[pamcharlie]

Here in New Zealand we have several very crazy gossip magazines who will probably blow this whole mess out of proportion, let's just listen and watch reliable news programs and not the trashy ones in regard to this whole sad situation Let's all just keep brittany in our prayers

[pamcharlie]

What needs to be done her mum needs to take her back to her hometown and help her to get fit and back on track and i agree she needs to escape the whole La lifestyle and the media Are we witnessing another tradgey here like what happened to anna nicole this is so seriously worrying

There is just one thing that I don't understand about this. Has she simply never realised that she can't have it all, namely the drugs, the parties AND the music? There are enough musicians out there who are no angels either, but who feel such passion for their music that they decide to drop the drugs simply in order to be able to continue with their music.

Anyway, I understand that she isn't the first musician to make her kind of mistake, but it is still something that I will never be able to understand.

I'm sorry but isn't her mum the one who helped Jamie get pregnant? Why would she help brittany look at all the publicity she's getting

[in hiding]

she really does have problems and does need help. I agree with those that say she needs to get away from LA and get real help, not Dr Phil help. Truthfully, none of us knows what her issues are (mental disorders, immaturity, etc...) but she needs to get away, but I don't think she'll ever be able to b/c our society as a whole seems to care more about Britney / kfedd / her sister than they do about their families. The sad commentary to me about this issue isnt' nec the issues with britney (which happen every day to other people) but the fact that people feel the need to comment on everything she does and they feel they have a right to know what's happening to her; then dissecting every little thing she does and casting judgement. Maybe we should pray for her and pray for US that we dont' fall into the traps the public falls into and the trap the Britney fell into. I think that's where we should put our efforts.

[pamcharlie]

What also needs to happen is that dr phil or even better a christian therapist must intervene and keep brittany out of the public spotlight and establish some tough love etc, it would be great for brittany to get sorted out before she is too far along the road.

Dr. Phil is a joke. Britney needs a pastor. That's one of the responsibilities of ministers, to be spiritual advisors. A minister should at least attempt to reach out to Britney in all of this, preferably a pastor who is well-known but well-respected, one who deserves the respect he has gotten and not one who has misled people with a bubblegum theology (ex. Joel Osteen). She definitely needs tough love.

a pastor / therapist only works if someone really realizes they have a problem and wants to do something about it. Why does the person have to be well known or the therapist be well known? Didn't fame help contribute to this whole thing, most likely?? The last thing anyone needs is someone whos looking to estabilish their rehab cred by rehabilitating someone.

It's not so the pastor could get the glory, but it has to be someone Britney's willing to listen to, unfortunately. Since she places so much emphasis on name recognition, it has to be someone who has it.

[hochspeyer]

This is yet another example of how we believers write off classes of humanity. The Spears family is as dysfunctional as we'll probably see- we can't do anything, in ourselves, yet we can do the most important thing, the thing that doesn't cost anything- we can pray for her, her children and her husband.

[pamcharlie]

I wonder if it would help if dr james dobson met with brittany and explained to her that she really needs jesus and also to give her some of his books.

i didn't know you were that close to her to know what works for her and doesn't. I agree it has to be someone she's willing to listen to and work with; who that person is...I have no idea.

[clemsontigers23]

I never said that, but based on what I know about her and 99% of celebrities, a guy she's never heard of is probably never going to even get in the same room as Britney. That's how it is. The pastor's gotta have name recognition, like T.D. Jakes perhaps. Doesn't make him any better in God's eyes, but he's a great preacher and I think he could really help her out.

[Evanescence]

Brits an example of a no talent industry and a no talent person who clearly hates herself, thus fills the void with drugs etc etc. Jesus can only help her once she stops lying to herself and realizes what she really is. A human that isn't any better than anyone else.

[pamcharlie]

To make this short yes i totally agree brittany needs jesus to come into her life and heart to help with her problems and it will take some time and help her to see who God Created her to be and to heal her from the "lies" the enemy has spoken to her that got her into this mess. Jesus is only person who can heal brittany.

Associated Press Preparing Britney Spears' Obituary (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,323826,00.html)

The Associated Press began preparing Britney Spears’ obituary within the past month, Usmagazine.com reports.

"We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time," AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington tells Us, referring to the 26-year-old pop star.

"I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now," Washington adds. "Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now … but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."

Washington also says the AP has a "pretty extensive obituary operation," and that staffers are "constantly adding people."

Spears has been under scrutiny for her increasingly bizarre behavior for the last 13 or 14 months. She is currently fighting to regain visitation rights to see her two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

And this one:

Britney Spears Lapses Into British Accent (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20172750,00.html?xid=r ss-topheadlines)

Britney Spears has a new accessory to go with her pink wig: a British accent.

In the last several weeks, Spears, 26, has been videotaped numerous times trading her Louisiana twang for U.K. inflections.

"She had the English accent thing going the whole time," said Kitson store owner Fraiser Ross, about Spears's 2 a.m. shopping spree last Thursday. "It didn't stop."

Even when angry, the accent appears. On an L.A. shopping trip to Macy's on Jan. 13, she screamed at the paparazzi, "Get out of my ******* face!" – in a British accent.

So is it all in fun or has she flipped her pink wig?

"When someone has dissociative identity disorder" – formally known as multiple personality disorder – "each identity is split off from the other," says L.A. psychologist Renee A. Cohen, who is not treating Spears. "Each would have its own name, memories, behavioral traits and emotional characteristics."

Cohen says the critical question is: "When Britney uses the British accent, or appears to take on another identity, does she know she's Britney Spears?"

"Otherwise, she could simply be behaving this way for attention, for sympathy, or any other reason," adds Cohen. "It's foolish to attempt to diagnose her without a formal evaluation."

One possible influence could be Spears's maternal grandmother, Lillian Bridges, who was originally from England.

Also, Spears's new beau, photographer Adnan Ghalib, grew up in Birmingham, England.

According to paparazzi who trail the singer around the clock, one thing is for sure: the pink wig means something's changing.

"When she puts on the pink wig, you just know something crazy is about to happen," said one paparazzo.

[rossid]

"I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now," Washington adds. "Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now … but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared."

Washington also says the AP has a "pretty extensive obituary operation," and that staffers are "constantly adding people."

I don't think that they 'have to be prepared'. However, they have a 'pretty extensive obituary operation' and are 'constantly adding people', so big deal.

Lindsey Lohan and Pope Benedict both probably have them written already too.
