All Britney, All The Time


Guess what - there's Britney news again. No, nothing earth-shaking - as far as I know she's still in rehab and is still fricking nuts. But even when nothing's happening, we have to keep talking about Britney - we can't help ourselves. So, here we go:

Item 1: Britney's Father Calls Her "A Sick Little Girl"

Jamie Spears, Britney's da-da, has decided to chime in on his daughter's troubles. And what insight does this genius, who was once in rehab himself, have to impart? Well, he told Fox News that Britney is "a sick little girl" whose problems "are not about what other people think." Really? And what does Jamie think we think her problems are about? Cause I know what I think - her problems are him and that no-account mother of hers. And as long as they're the ones helping her, she ain't getting any help.

Some support-system Britney has - a bunch of people who just want to prop her up long enough to squeeze the last dime out of her. Even Howard K. Stern and Vergie Arthur aren't this crass.

Item 2: Britney's Old Friends Say She's Been A Druggie For Years

Here's a revelation that ain't exactly shocking - some old friends of Britney's say she's been a drug abuser since at least 2003. According to Amanda Alexander, sister of Britney's first "husband" Jason, Britney used to take Ecstasy a lot, and snorted coke while hanging with friends in her Louisiana hometown. And another alleged compadre of Britney's, Kent Smith, says the pop-star "does like to party" and claims to have been present when Britney took "Ecstasy and cocaine."

First of all, what the fuck kind of friends are these? Again - shitty support-system. Second of all, do these wizards actually think they're stunning the world? Yeah, Britney's on dope. I would be too if I was surrounded by people like you.

Item 3: Are Federline And Lynne Spears Really In Alliance?

We were previously led to believe, mostly by this story, that Federline and Lynne Spears had joined forces in their efforts to take care of Jayden James and Sean Preston while their mom was off exploring new heights of lunacy. But, according to Janet Charlton, this story may not be accurate. Charlton's version of events has Federline showing up at Britney's Malibu house while she was in rehab for the second time and snatching the children away from an upset Lynne. Reportedly, Lynne tried calling the cops on Federline, but since he's their father, it didn't really count as kidnapping. Lynne then supposedly informed Britney that Federline had taken the kids, which is why she rushed out of rehab so abruptly and went to meet with a lawyer. Later that night, Britney went to see Federline, and was told by him that she had to get back into rehab or he'd have the kids taken away from her. I guess it all fits. It does sort of cast a different light on the Federline/Lynne Spears relationship. Doesn't sound like they're all that chummy. Then again, X17 is reporting that Lynne is in Sherman Oaks today visiting Federline and the kids. Here's Lynne talking into Federline's security intercom:

"I'd like a large order of parenting skills and a clue on the side, please..."
