Britney Cries: Life Is Like Jail, Groundhog Day

The UK Sun got a longer look at the Britney Spears documentary airing November 30th on MTV. The first look at the show, seen here, showed Britney saying, "what the hell was I thinking." Spears filmed the series after a year in which she got divorced, acted out in public, shaved her head and went to a psychiatric ward. She is now able to see her two sons again, but she is in the care of her father and ex-husband Kevin Federline has custody.

But all may not be as it seems. According to the UK report:

in a new fly-on-the-wall documentary she tearfully admits: "There's no excitement, there's no passion.

"I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail you know there's the time when you're gonna get out.

"But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like Groundhog Day every day."...

She says: "I think it's too in control. If I wasn't under the restraints I'm under, I'd feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear but they're really not listening.

"If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I'm having to pay for a long time.

"I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free."

The show premieres in the UK December 1.

Oh, shut up!

[ZimboChick]

ohhh sad.

How about a little volunteer work? Teach dance to children that want to learn , but their parents can't pay for it. You'd be surprised how much you get out of doing something for others. Even mental illness can be controlled by meds and doing something important will really help. Singing another forgettable diddy is not going to help.

Word. Walk on, Brit, walk on.

I agree.

During one of the lowest points in my life, I was an HIV counselor. It was my job to counsel people being tested and to give people their test results. I told many, MANY people that they had (what was then) a terminal disease. But, I was good at what I did and I always gave people hope and a reason to keep fighting. Many people told me that I had saved their lives. Little did they know, they were saving mine.

I have a lot to learn, but this is a great narrative.

I guess when you are that young and rich and have done about everything you can imagine, life would get a little boring when you have no purpose and your kids are with the old man. You can only go on so many vacations with needy friends and family and drive-thru so many fast food places to where it all taste the same. She can't sing and doesn't want to dance so I guess she's done. Hopefully she will realize there is more to life like her own children.

I'm too busy with my job, having completed a week of business file reviews. Rarely I do get to take time off. Today is one of those days.

n the past, I avoided Spears' gory life, ignored her threads. Today, I scrolled 57 comments, some with more thoughts, and "speed read" posts taking pleasure of her misfortune. Spears and I are practically the same age but don't care for her music. Still, I feel sorry for her. I am actually more intrigue with the psychological analyses of her life, authorative like a text book. Interesting field, but it's not my comfort zone. Relying from poster's perspective, any one of us could have been Spears - BUT FOR a different space and time and maybe even luck.

Reached Mom at her Blackberry. That soothing voice, she answered " Hi, honey I'm still in court, are you OK ? Knowing there is someone out there who loves me unconditionally, I feel so safe and secure.

I got Mom's text - your dad and i will be there, Boston Rotisserie on us, you fix the salad. Love Mom; 2 sec later, my dad text came, "Champ, get ready for a Check Mate. One of these day, I will beat Dad in his own turf - Chess. I smiled at the fantacy.

I will leave nastiness to those who ravel in Spears' tragedy, thanks to SillyName, and MaryMansour for their kindness. Maybe, just maybe LOVE can travel through space and time to touch Spears

[Palemoon]

That was a great post. :o)

[mystery2me]

Somebody call her a waaaaahmbulance. I cannot for one bleeding second feel sorry for her, period. There is no pity party for the mega-rich, no matter their legitimate 'problems'. What if her Groundhog Day were being booted from refugee camp to refugee camp with nothing but the clothes on her back? What if her Groundhog Day were wondering if today is the day your child will step on a land mine? What of those facing bankruptcy because they had the audacity to get sick in America? Or being burned out of trailer, your only home, with no insurance, no future, no way out? Seriously, this is a huge slap in the face to those who have as many - and more - problems than her, but without her bankroll and wihtout her resources. She needs to join the Peace Corps, she needs to do some volunteering with real people that are in real need. In French, they call this "complaining on a full stomach". No pity for Ms. Spears from me.

Spears is mentally ill and it's definitely not funny. Her kids are being deeply affected by it. At least they have a father who understands they need stability. Never thought Federline could be called emotionally mature, but you've got to give him kudos. He's doing right by his sons.

I don't think Spears is talented but I do wish her well. I'd like to see her kids have a healthy mother.

[LDnearthesea]

She didn't make Rolling Stones' top 100 singers, and rightly so! She stinks and has no talent as a singer.

[MKJeeves]

She has a great deal of talent, you just don't like her work. I don't like it either but I would not deny that she has talent.

[arod72]

She had talnet as a dancer at one point, an entertainer if you will, but as far as singing? writing? Sorry, my dear, no talent here. She's all about the processed, syntesized studio sound, which just about any girl with a pretty face can work. She's a product of the boy band era.

[FanofPaine]

I feel sorry for her. I'm no Britney fan but some people can't handle the spotlight and honestly, if I had people scoping out the bathroom just to see me pee, I think I'd be a bit unsettled too.

I wish her the best because no one should be unstable mentally. It's always been my opinion that if you have your health you can make it even in the worse of circumstances.

[InedaName]

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be pop tarts. This is what happens to kids who are fed by their stage parents into the Disney meat grinder. Miley Cyrus or one of those High School Musical kids could very well be in Brit's mentally unstable shoes in 5-10 years.

[Canadiannie]

Aw come on Brit, life's not that bad sweetie ....yes, there are long stretches of boredom and it ain't all a big party but it's NOT never-ending and it 's going to go by faster than you think

[llstudent]

What a lot of cold blooded people speaking out here, Spears is f**ked up and she cannot help it if she is mentally ill.

[arvay]

Life is a terrible burden to a person with essentially no intellect.

Once they've burned themselves out trying to substitute sensation for the satisfaction that knowledge and intellectual curiosity bring, they notice that life has no apparent purpose or form -- for them.

They're embedded in a marvelous, intricate and endlessly fascinating universe but don't have the necessary mental requirements to understand or partake. "Been there, done that" describes the universe for them.

Oblivion will be a blessing.

[llstudent]

My God, people have a heart, the girl sounds like she is bipolar and they have her on medication that takes away the high which is what they (bipolars) like because they feel more creative. I feel sorry for her.

[11907281]

My god, if only the displaced Iraqis could get as much sympathy from the American public as this woman!

[kawreader]

Yikes.
