Britney's Breakdown

I just want to say quickly, a bit on Britney Spears. I play on my blog quite a bit, about being famous; maybe, even I slosh around the idea that I desire her position or that of any of the hard "pAArtying" starlets.

I do on some masochistic level yearn for that. It is not a main focus however. It is not something I'm striving for every minute of the day.

That being said, I express now a quiet contemplative concern for this girl.

I Was watching TMZ.com, and the footage from this past week's escapades. I hit on a few celebreality sites (Perez Hilton, the superficial) and what may be one of the last true blue Britney fan sites in existence.

The conclusion I draw, is that this girl is entirely too overexposed.

Getting married, having two kids and getting divorced with in 3 years is a bout of trials for anyone. The exciting rush of planning a wedding, saying the vows, and honeymooning are a stressful highpoint. Becoming pregnant, with all of its involuntary hormonal ups and downs and physical and emotional changes and reactions is a rollercoaster. When done back to back, it becomes a tilt-a-whirl on a rollercoaster, and then to divorce and possibly experience uncontrollable post partum at the same time. Many women find rough moments with a positive and stable support system surrounding them.

Britney has paparazzi. In video she parties with mere acquaintances. One can only assume she is overwhelmingly disjointed from her family, as they have more or less disappeared from footage of her. Her mother Lynne spoke out, so did her assistant. Countless people have made attempts to help her. Even Paris, thought she was nighting it too much.

Now of course, she has shaved her head. Not that the hair mattered, its what it symbolized. Was it an act of cleansing, there are rumors of rape or assault of some kind. Or was it just an image change? It could have been for attention...although I doubt it. I'd like to think even Britney knows the paparazzi will follow her no matter what and that she doesn't need drastic measures to make news. Then again, maybe she's scared of losing the attention, but again I doubt it.
