Fading pop-star Britney Spears has dealt her own career another serious blow. Spears, whose life has degenerated into one long, absurd meltdown, was supposed to fly to producer Timbaland's studio in Virginia Beach recently to record her half of a duet with ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake - unfortunately, Britney decided at the last minute to nix the duet, leaving Timbaland and Justin in the lurch. Said a source:
Timbaland set aside a week out of his crazy schedule to do this - and then, just before she was supposed to fly out, Britney abruptly canceled the session and refused to do the song. ... It's crazy. She's looking for a comeback, and this would have not only been a huge hit, but something she could have opened the MTV Video Awards with and really blown everyone away.
The people at Britney's record label, Jive, are very concerned about their formerly hot property. Said an insider:
Listen, everyone is worried. In her mind, her album is done and she's done enough work . . . She's an easy target right now, because she's . . . sick. People like her are sick. It's like an anorexic who's sick in the head and needs help. She needs help. It's sad because what she's got - and we've heard it's like bipolar disorder - can easily be treated with medication, but she won't do it.
I wonder if Britney really does have bipolar disorder or something like bipolar disorder - or if she's just a stubborn, childish idiot who refuses to let responsible people run her career for her. If I didn't know better, I might accuse Britney of just being a coward who runs away any time someone places an opportunity in front of her that requires her to pull herself together and act like a grown-up. One of these days, people like Justin and Timbaland are going to learn that they can't trust this dumb-ass to follow through - they're going to figure out that she's not worth the effort and stop trying to help her sorry butt. And then she really will be alone and adrift with nothing but losers like Alli Sims around her. She's just a foolish, ungrateful little twat if you ask me.
