Blender piece by Michael Gross.
britney manager is just playing Bab's for more press.
News reports:
Britney Spears’ parents rushed to the singer’s home on Monday evening after she had a huge bust up with her manager Sam Lutfi.

Congratulations to MJG, again, for telling a real story and not exploiting Britney like rest of the media.

Mental illness is not a joke and those with it are as sick as anyone with a cold. It is treatable but like many other illnesses it comes with baggage and patients suffer discrimination.

britney bloggers as of this hour (tues, 29 jan, 1:22am pdt) report brit may have been struck in a domestic disturbance. she may be making some very important decisions regarding help and her future at this very moment. police have responded to a photographer scrum at the gates. sounds like the neighbors will hate this one. she will probably try to comply with any court directives that re-establish contact with her children, with whom she has been speaking by phone. this anyway is the raw reporting being posted on britney sites overnight.

I hope Barbara's prognosis is just as optimistic - keeping my fingers crossed!

[roddenberry]

Why infinite storytelling in medias about useless people (actors, athletes, entertainers) and so few informations about true heroes who have deep contributions to humanity , like scientists, innovators or thinkers ?

[SmolderingRuin]

Thank God all women are not this stupid.

So Barbara is spending more time in the trailer park. Real classy, Babs.

What is the fascination in regards to Britney Spears? ? ? ?

Why doesn't she just go away and take care of her personal problems rather than flaunt them in front of the paparazzi who have nothing better to do than follow this mixed up starlet around.

Yup, she's treatable. Whatever she's got can certainly be cured by an 8-ball or two of coke and a threesome with... well, whomever is available.

Oh, wait. She's already been doing that. Hmm... need a different tack.

Hey, do you hear the children calling?

[RoseMerry]

So, Ms. Spears's illness is treatable, great. I believe that means she has the money to pay for it.

Gawd help the poor with these illnesses - they will end up homeless and die. HOMELESS is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY - WHY DO WE ALLOW IT???

[maxfusion]

Really, I didn't realize being a slut was treatable. I sure happy they didn't have a cure when I was a young guy.

I think Dr. Barbara Walters should consult Dr. Tom Cruise.
