Britney And Lindsay: A Run-In In London?
Posted on Tue Jun 2, 2009 04:50 PM PDT

Here's what we know:
1. Britney has taken her Circus tour to London and she'll be having a scandalous after-party to celebrate!
2. Lindsay Lo's in London to meet up with Sam, who'll be spinning at a couple nightclubs through June 6th...
Question is, will Linds try to crash Brit's bash? She already tried to once before and failed!
It's not like she'll be hanging around Sam 24/7!

I love Britney!I hate Lindsay!
Love Lindz but wtf? her breasts are almost down near her waist.
Two of the most notorious skanks in existence. It's a question of which one is worse...they deserve to "hang" together; trashy, egocentric, talentless attention seekers. Together again!!
If they were meat they'd be tongue and neck.
Ewww I’m a vegan.
Shitney's worse than Lezhan. Shitney f*cked with 2 babies. I hope Lezhan's sterile.
Think of all the drugs these two could exchange together! Lilho could hook up Britters with all the street drugs and Britters could hook her up with all the brain stuff she is on! Then they could go lick each other raw infront of the pappers!
Lesbians will be HOT when they r all burning in hellllll!!!!!!
flame broiled
Free Britney!
6:04P.M. Good point! Shitney is a has-been, talentless waste of time (lip syncs and gyrates around); maybe Lindsay would stir up some action for the Circus. And don't forget the tawdry AFTER SHOW event...both could slither up and down a pole nude and create a scene.
GUARD!!! Take them to the tower!!!
Wow. X17 must be pretty desperate if they are combining these two to try and get hits on their website. Britney used to get them at least 1000 comments at one point, but now they can barely get 100.
Shitney and Blohan are desperate hags.
Just the other day Lindasy was wearing white fireman boots -
Just the other day Lindasy was wearing white fireman boots -

7:23 Did you finish high school?
Paris has more talent in her little funger than both of these combined!
PARIS IS BETTER THAN LILO!!!!
Paris suck. Lilo sucks. Brit sucks.
Lindsay's tweets: She has finished a Photo shoot and now is in a hotel. Hope, she will get a good rest.
I bet daddy spearest wants to rip the rosary's off her fat neck and choke her with em!!!!!!
A has-been powwow is just what they need along with discussions revolving around some serious daddy issues.
I would love to see brit do the whale eye, blohan i want to see go far far away - dumb ho
I love both of them, and hate Paris.
I love 8:13, and hate Lilo, Brit and Paris.
Lindsay and Paris are making their money by "hosting" club appearances. Z listers pay to get in an see a "celeb." This is like going to supermarket openings only it pays better. Paris makes much more than Lindsay
Both probably have herpes
I love Paris, I like Britney, I hate lindsay
does Lindsay have any brains?
what? you really think that Linds f*cking care what britney is?
She have her own life, don't care any person more than Sam. Cute
Sam and Britney, I would like to see that.
A three way between britney, lindsay and samantha ronson is not out of the question. God only knows how many stds the three of them have combined. The only thing that is left to decide is who gets to wear the strap-on.
what's with the tongue..i don't know who she thinks is getting
turned on by her copying megan fox.
She is so desperate..I have noticed that too in pics that she is pathetically trying to copy Megan Fox..Megan IS sexy LOLhan and YOU are gross as hell..Please stay in the UK stalking your greasy lesbian and never return to the US..please! PLEASE??
Please stop with u ridicolous bulls*** about this 2!!u are so disperate that u can only create unbelievable stories for ur pocket. Linsday is going away from sam and her family, I hope! Go to paris & her boytoy they can give u more sadisfaction!
All three are great. I love Lindsay, she's a good actress, singer, etc.....I like Britney's Music & Paris's My BFF tv show.
Lindsay loves Samantha & vice versa. Nothing anyone can do about it.
Please Lindsay come back to the US soon, we miss ya here.
9.53-10.02 lol
true! damn lindsay, we all know that MEGAN FOX FIRST STARTED DOING THE LIP LICK, you are a f-cking COPYCAT!!!keep your disgusting slimy tongue in your fucking mouth, you'll NEVER
reach her level of SEXINESS!!STUPID BITCH!!!
lindsay gets uglier and uglier in every picture.
www.petitionspot.com/petitions/whLL/
"we hate Lindsay Lohan"
"she SUCKS"
Plz, Sign The Petition, Katelyn
why is lindsay even relevant? that girls is a fucking idiot!
love brit!
this nasty druggy is acting like a 13 year old obsessed girl, be careful samantha!!!
I thought Britney's dad 'doesn't allow her to party' or do anything else and those creeps keep her locked up like an animal..and that stupib coc succing btch doesn't even bother to resist this humiliating position she is put in, like a broken animal that peice of backwords trash.
Glad to see that Britney has her life back on track, kudos!!
1:00 Shes a Fucking Idiot with a Major Movie coming up and more money than youll see in your whole life of working at wal-mart. You are Shitney fan correct ?? Go buy some stripper clown perfume because Kevin needs a vacation.
Despite all her troubles Britney is a much-loved star..for Lindsay it's the opposite.
1:00AM:don't worry she's heading to obscurityville,and money doesn't buy class- bernie madoff can attest to that.
that's just fine, when my Orange Goddess launches Her Own world tour(spray tan), she can just snub Brit. Oh wait........ nevermind. dayum!
It least Brittney has parents that care about her and jumped in when she needed it and got the sum out of her life.
Shit-Han Has a MONSTER MOTHER FROM MERRICK that dose drugs sleeps around and could give a rats ass about helping her daughter cause she thinks she has another kid she can throw out there but if you listen to the new single Ali has coming out that will never hit any radio station sounds like something off "Kids Boop"
anyone can make a album "Monster Mother From Merrick"!!!!
Dosent mean shit!!
Brittneys father will make sure blowhan will stay far far away from his daughter
BRITNEY RUILES "A" list!!!!
Skankhan "Z" list!!!!
GO TO CELEBBUZZ.COM PAGE TWO HA HA HA TO LINDSAY NO ONE WANTS HER!!!!!
4:19 -- K-Fed can vacay at my place. He's HOT!
At least Britney is now being looked at for what she does. Her major spotlight is on her tour and her music. Yeah, some personal stuff gets thrown in there, but the majority of America and the world dont care cause she's not really messing up her life anymore.
Lindsay, on the other hand, is more famous for being too skinny and for stalking her lesbian girlfriend. So which would you prefer? The much more mellow pop star or the erratic, lesbian-chasing, D-List, actress?
Two complete wastes of time and space. Two completely talentless individuals. Two ruined careers.
A LOT of pointing and laughing.
MAYBE THE BLACK GUY MADE HER TRY TO BASH B'S AFTERPARTY
All Lohans are a waste of life
With all there drama,arrest,lies lies lies,attention seeking ways ect.
we know skankhan TRYS to copy everone

ROTFand LMFAO!!!!
monster mother NO ONE will read it we know the lohan story and it will be a book of ALL LIES LIES LIES how dina see's her denial life.
Still LMFAO
I am not gay
I am not gay
Lindsay prob wouldn't want to hang with a mentally ill hillbilly who shaves her head bald and wears pink wigs. Plus, Shitney is FAT! And Shitney is sooooo confused about her sexuality. Hope Linds stays far away from the medicated freak and spends quality time with her lady love. Where are the pics of Sam and Linds in Europe?!!!
JEALOUS MUCH? YOUR POST IS SEETHING HATE, LOL. WOW, YOU HAVE SOME REALLY INTENSE FEELINGS OVER B, DONCHA LMAO....GET A LIFE
JEALOUS MUCH? YOUR POST IS SEETHING HATE, LOL. WOW, YOU HAVE SOME REALLY INTENSE FEELINGS OVER B, DONCHA LMAO....GET A LIFE

I like Britney but I love Lindsay ¡¡¡
I like Britney but I love Lindsay ¡¡¡
9:00
You forgot to mention Shitney's other "assets." Bloody vaj pictures, bloody designer clothes, pink wig, shaved head, umbrella attack on suv, daddy making all decisions for her cuz she's mentally ill and can't function without being sedated, no friends, no love interests, ex-husband who's moved on, instant wedding and instant divorce, etc. etc. etc. Every sane person knows Shithead would sell her soul to have Lindsay Lohan's independence!!!
britney has turned her life around and is a better person than lindsay. britney has made many mistakes but she is a good person who only wants 2 love and care for her kids she had mental health problems it can happen 2 anyone. lindsay is totally different she choose 2 live her life wth drugs and alochol and doesnt even care about her life she is stick thin and looks like shes dieing. britney has a normal healthy body and thats the way a woman should look not like they have anorexia. britneys making money has a very successful tour and is spending time with her kids. whats lindsay doin stalking her stupid wannabe girlfriend. and why the hell would britny be jeolous of lindsay lohan she has everything more than lindsay will ver have. people just talk bout the past with britney move on coz she has. britney hasnt got time to even think about that skank shes got better things to worry about e.g kids, tour. britney rules good luck on tour
Both of them are nutso, but at least Lohan isn't bringing unplanned children into the world like Slutney has. That says a lot. Britney is no better than Lindsay.
I want Sam to go down on Shitney and Lilo to club Shitney to death like a baby harp seal.
Daddy made sure the whore's pap baby was aborted down in Costa Rica. Too bad her daddy wasn't in charge back in the day. He coulda fed her RU486 smoothies to abort her snots.
Casa Britney Going for Cut-Rate Price
Today 1:45 PM PDT by Gina Serpe and Whitney English
Britney Spears can kiss goodbye that career as the next host of Flip This House.
Despite having quietly shopped around her Italian Renaissance-inspired villa for the better part of a year, the pop star has yet to unload the six-bedroom, six-bath, 7,500-square-foot estate in the gated celeb-heavy Summit neighborhood.
Spears purchased the home for $7.1 million back in December 2007. Since then, the place started picking up bad juju as ground zero for her infamous gurney-strapped ambulance ride, among other embarrassing episodes during her public meltdown in early 2008. The singer, who is currently touring the U.K. with her Circus act, dropped the sale price of her home to a measly $6.5 million on Tuesday, the lowest ever asked for the property. When it was first officially placed on the market by Sotheby's Realty back in September 2008, it was priced at $7.9 million.
And while Spears has yet to unload her old digs, it's hardly kept her from moving on up. She's currently leasing an even larger 10,300-square-foot home in Calabasas. Eonline.com
So far she's lost $600,000 on the Summit and she's stuck paying $49,267 a month for the mortgage until it sells. She doesn’t own the new house in Calabasas. It’s a lease.

Britney opens UK tour at O2
Published: Today
TAKE away the dry ice, amazing dancers, video screens and props from BRITNEY SPEARS' Circus Tour and what's left? A girl walking around, flicking her hair and miming to some average pop songs. See pics from the opening show by clicking on the link below. Hair's looking at you ... Britney Spears DAVE HOGAN
Don't get me wrong, the show is thoroughly entertaining for her legions of fans. But in the list of the best things about last night's O2 gig, Britney would struggle to make the top five. The choreography, dancers and set were top class but blonde Britters parading in her undercrackers was completely uninspiring. MADONNA is twice her age and does double the dancing. GIRLS ALOUD, KATY PERRY, RIHANNA, BEYONCE and KYLIE MINOGUE are Premier League standard compared with Britters' Championship efforts. At least they have a pop at singing live.

Alli Sims reveals all about her time with Britney
‘I feel like the media made it appear a lot more insane,’ she says
updated 7:09 p.m. ET June 3, 2009
Britney Spears’ former assistant, Alli Sims, is breaking her silence for the very first time about the years she spent with the music superstar.
Sims lived with Spears for over a year. She saw everything and in an Access Hollywood exclusive, revealed that, even at its worst, things with the pop star weren’t as bad as they were portrayed.
“I feel like the media made it appear a lot more insane than it really was,” Sims told Access.
Sims revealed that while she was at Spears’ side, they were constantly followed by the paparazzi.
“It was a minimum of 50 people following us,” she said. “It made everything look so much more hectic. It was crazy.”
Sims was Spears’ assistant for one year until reports said she was let go.
When asked if she was fired from the job, Sims said, “No.”
“I still lived with her after I wasn’t working with her and we’re still best friends,” Sims said.
When asked about the reports that Spears’ dad, Jamie Spears, said she couldn’t come around anymore, Sims said that was true.
“Yeah, he definitely said that,” she said. “You know, they’re very controlling and that’s fine and I just stepped back. I’m not going to fight nine lawyers and parents.”
In fact, it was a team of lawyers that handled a divorce, child custody and questions about Spears’ mental health. And with Jamie Spears in charge, they brought order to Britney’s life.
“They pretty much cut out everyone, honestly,” Sims said.
And despite reports that Spears is bipolar or suffers from post-partum depression, Sims said she didn’t see evidence of such conditions.
“I just feel like, you know, she had kids fast,” Sims said. “There was a divorce going on and that’s a lot for a young person to handle.”
In January 2008, Spears barricaded herself and son Jayden at her then home, refusing to give him back to ex-husband, Kevin Federline. Sims said the reason Spears refused is quite simple.
“She was just like, ‘I wasn’t ready for them … you know, to go home,’” Sims recounted. “It was a mom just being protective and a mom that didn’t want her kids to leave … I mean, it’s weird when you have kids three days a week and you’re used to having them all day everyday.”
During one stretch of Sims’ tenure with Spears, the star was hospitalized twice in one month. The second time she was taken by ambulance to the UCLA Medical Center’s Psychiatric Ward.
When asked how Spears was in the hospital, Sims said, “Fine, fine. Honestly, fine.”
As a result of the hospitalizations, Spears temporarily lost visitation rights to both her boys in January 2008.
“I think that was a really harsh step,” Sims said. “It looked a lot worse than it was … I actually got subpoenaed for the custody case and I was in there for eight hours and it was brutal. But, I mean, I just sat in there and told the truth. There was nothing bad to say.”
Sims hasn’t spoken to Spears in over a year. She’s spent the time doing what she says Spears encouraged her to do — pursue her music. Sims’ first single, “Driving Blind,” is about missing someone. In this case, Spears. “I want her to know when she hears (it), that it is about her and I miss her friendship,” Sims said.
Beautiful Britney and lovely Lindsay each earn more money
in one day than any of you sorry losers will earn in a lifetime.
We all understand why you're jealous.
Well lookie what Santa brought Britney Spears’ “cousin” Alli Sims for Christmas this year, a legal letter from a former producer asking her to pay up!
StarzLife received a copy of the letter and we can now share with you exclusively the details of some of Ms. Sims bad business decisions.
From the looks of things, it would appear that Sims was working with Sam Lutfi the entire time he was trying to bring Britney down, with back end deals that got the rent paid on her Beverly Hills apartment for all of 2008, which she ultimately lied to producer Nathan Folks and her management team about so that they’d pay the rent as well.
It also seems as if the exposure of Alli’s relationship with Sam Lutfi caused her collapse with the entire Spears family, which led her to lie about continuing a relationship with Britney in order to help secure finances for recording a record.
Shady!! Don’t bite the hands that feed you Alli, though there won’t be many left after this!
When we contacted Folks, he declined to comment on any details but he did say that “Alli Sims never got to the recording studio nor did she ever write a song about her cousin,” adding, “we are just glad to know the truth now and we are very happy to see Britney making a successful comeback.”
Check out the legal letter below Exclusively!! here at Starzlife.

May 13, 2009 --
ALLI Sims is scrambling for a publicist. Last week, Britney Spears' cousin sent a text message to everyone programmed in her phone, encouraging them to download her single, "Driving Blind," on iTunes. Now, a tipster tells us, a guy is calling around to p.r. firms all over LA looking for someone to get the word out about Sims. "He asked his assistant to put together a list of firms and now he's randomly reaching out to all of them and trying to put together a team," we're told. A friend of Alli's told us, "The response to her single requires her to find representation."
http:// www.nypost.com/seven/05132009/gossip/pagesix/alli_sims_needs_a_publicist_169012.htm
All around the O2, the posters and flashing billboards reminded us that Britney Spears’s first UK shows in five years were something other than a mere arena show. If you wanted to be reductive about it, you could argue that The Circus Starring Britney Spears merely alluded to the singer’s current album (also entitled The Circus). However, for the most Googled person on the planet, the imagery was excitingly apposite on all sorts of other levels. Lest we forget, a circus is a travelling show where strange and freakish spectacles unfold before you on a stage, possibly featuring heavily sedated creatures who don’t seem entirely sure of their surroundings. For anyone who remembers Spears’s infamous MTV Video Music Award “comeback” less than two years ago, there’s no need to dwell on the resonances here.
But at this biggest of big tops, it was a more alert Spears who descended from the rigging on to the biggest of the three circular stages in a saucy ringmaster’s get-up. Performing The Circus she negotiated a human tide of cavorting dancers dressed in burlesque bondage gear and freakish masks. Was she really singing? A debate that has rumbled on in newsprint and internet forums since the tour began three months ago wasn’t easily settled by watching her lips.
Certainly, even without any big screens to help to decide the matter, you registered the lack of any apparent physical exertion as she got to grips with her stinging anti-paparazzi address Piece Of Me. By the same token, there were times when it felt churlish to mind: the lavish Bollywood shakedown of Me Against The Music; the sheer randomness of a version of Toxic which involved freighting modified metal bedsteads at speed across the stage. And who wouldn’t have chosen to lip-sync on Ooh Ooh Baby — whose set piece saw the 27-year-old mother of two climb in a box and have her entire torso seemingly shunted to the left of the rest of her body. In what constituted something of a high point, the song then segued into Hot As Ice, which saw Spears seemingly teleported 30 yards without the tassled platinum dress she had been wearing seconds before.
It was a set heavily reliant on the last two albums — a surprise, in a sense, given the events in her life that they have soundtracked. By the same token, a chief signifier of Spears’s iconic status is that the more dramatic her life becomes, the better material she seems to inspire from songwriters. Propelled by almost subsonic hip-hop beats, Get Naked (I Got A Plan) truly came into its own.
But postmodern as you tried to be about the whole singing/not singing debate, it was hard not to feel an hitherto-absent frisson of emotional engagement on the occasions when she obviously was. Everytime was a case in point. Whatever other problems she has encountered in her tempestuous life, vertigo certainly isn’t one of them.
Perched on the hook of a precariously suspended umbrella, she received one of the biggest cheers of the evening for a performance of Everytime that came, if not from the heart, then from the diaphragm.
Such moments of old-fashioned entertainment notwithstanding, it was the sheer timeless ubiquity of Baby One More Time (and possibly the fact that she was performing it in leather lingerie) that elicited the biggest roar. That she returned dressed as a kinky policewoman for Womanizer was no disaster. As she set about admonishing the errant cad in the song, she imperiously waved her truncheon at any passing dancers who happened to come too near to it.
If the overheard chatter of the departing throng was anything to go by, 90 minutes of lavish costume changes, camp choreography and cabaret club magic just about mitigated lingering doubts concerning the veracity of her singing. If she did mime, perhaps it didn’t matter. After all, don’t mime artists also belong in a circus?

Britney is selling out arenas...Lindsay's appearing at clubs.
Only one JEALOUS is the MONSTER MOM.
THE NIGHT BRITNEY LOST IT
3/06/2009
EXCLUSIVE: Inside story of superstar's fight back from total meltdown
Amid a frenzy of anticipation, Britney Spears' sell-out Circus tour rolls into town today.
It won rave reviews across the Atlantic, so hopes are high for the 27-year-old pop star's UK dates, beginning at London's O2 Arena.
Yet a mere 18 months ago it seemed as if the curtain had come down on her pop career for good.
With the world watching, Britney fell apart - crumbling under the pressure of a messy divorce, a custody battle over her two young sons, and family feuds.
Now a fascinating book reveals for the first time what went on in Britney's mind during her meltdown.
Here, in the first of our exclusive serialisation of Britney: Inside the Dream by Steve Dennis, we expose how booze, rows and a famous ex led to her chaotic comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards...
Seven minutes before her live performance, Britney's dressing room door opened and a collective look of horror fell upon the faces of her management team.
"What the f***?" shouted one.
It was immediately clear that her much-hyped comeback was about to become car crash TV, a global display of a pop star unravelling. At the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney had pledged to show everyone "the bitch is back". In front of millions of fans, and some sceptical industry bosses, she had to prove that despite the messy divorce, custody battle, head shaving and stints in rehab, she still had the talent that had made her a global phenomenon. Now, for the first time, the backstage events leading up to that disastrous performance can be revealed.
RAGED
Efforts were made to ensure it all went smoothly. Britney had rehearsed for five weeks with handpicked dancers.
She had got Dita Von Teese's stylist Trish Somerville, to create a flattering black one-piece for the make-or-break performance. And she had managed to secure the services of Ken Paves, dubbed Hollywood's hottest hairdresser.
But Britney herself managed to ruin the most important performance of her life. Hours before the show, her anxieties raged. She decided it was a good idea to start drinking tequila shots to calm her nerves - one after the other.
Her prickliness wasn't helped when her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake popped by to say good luck.
"He was cool and couldn't have been friendlier, but that wigged her out more," says a backstage source. "She was freaking out over the littlest thing."
Her low self-esteem, until now hidden, was making itself known as anger and a difficult attitude. And the sagas of the previous months were all stirred up by the pressure to deliver.
Britney was terrified, and the good luck gesture from Justin was a final reminder that this was a huge broadcast.
Unworthy in her own mind, she would render herself unworthy in public.
The source says: "Brit is someone wanting to be loved, not used, not treated like a robot, not there for everyone else to make money, and not working all the time. It was inevitable she was going to reach the 'F*** it! F*** you!' stage. The great sadness is that she reached it in the run-up to this big moment."
FISHNETS
Britney seemed oblivious to the distress she had caused. And it dawned on MTV that their opening act was playing up - and she had no hair. Nelly Furtado's stylist came to the rescue, but Britney still needed hair extensions - from the hotel's salon. The source says: "By now everyone was frying."
In her dressing room, Britney was knocking back another shot. Once the stylist had saved the day, everyone was asked to leave so that Britney could slip into her striking Trish Somerville one-piece. Instead she emerged in a black bra, black hotpants and fishnets, showing an unflattering paunch.
Britney's reps insisted she change. "It's too f***ing late! We've got to get her on stage!" shouted an MTV assistant. The source says: "Everyone knew it all hinged on her hitting the first line we'd rehearsed to a T - look down the camera on a close-up and lip-sync, 'It's Britney, bitch!' If she could hold that line, and get through, she'd won. "But the music started, and she stood and stared at the camera without moving her lips. At that moment, we knew it was over."
Ninety minutes before the show, Ken Paves entered the dressing room with an assistant, carrying golden hair extensions in his little box. "I don't like him! I want his assistant," announced Britney.
The assistant pledged her loyalty to Ken and Britney instructed her bodyguard to forcibly remove Ken from the room In the corridor outside, observers saw Ken being shoved out the door, remonstrating: "I've never been so insulted in my life!" He was still carrying Britney's hair extensions, tissue-wrapped.
Then word came through to management: "Britney's just fired Ken Paves." As they gained access to her dressing room, she explained she didn't like his attitude.
"That's great Britney, but you need him right now. He has your hair extensions," she was told.
Britney, whose hair was still short following her head-shaving incident, pondered this reality: "OK then, he can come back." But after retreating to his hotel room, Ken Paves wasn't answering his phone or his door.
Read 6:01 before 5:59
What followed was an infamous performance in which Britney looked more like a wasted clubber in Vegas than a pop princess who was "in the zone".
In one evening, she had sabotaged her hair, her designed outfit, her choreography and her reputation. Britney got the attention she craves, but this time as a laughing stock and an object of pity.
Within minutes of leaving the stage, she was in tears as the show continued.
A door from a backstage corridor burst open on to the emptied casino floor outside the auditorium. Britney, wearing a hooded sweater over her stage outfit, tore through, shoulders up, head down.
She spotted an open-air, but closed, restaurant called Guardino's and dived under its roped-off barriers. She walked to the second floor and sat on the floor.
From a distance, Britney was seen using a mobile phone, either furiously texting or repeatedly dialling. An off-duty waiter brought her a glass of water and there she sat for 45 minutes, crying.

In one evening, she had sabotaged her hair, her designed outfit, her choreography and her reputation. Britney got the attention she craves, but this time as a laughing stock and an object of pity.
Within minutes of leaving the stage, she was in tears as the show continued.
A door from a backstage corridor burst open on to the emptied casino floor outside the auditorium. Britney, wearing a hooded sweater over her stage outfit, tore through, shoulders up, head down.
She spotted an open-air, but closed, restaurant called Guardino's and dived under its roped-off barriers. She walked to the second floor and sat on the floor.

Bald truth of rebel's hair shave
Britney sat still and looked in the mirror at her newly shorn head, tears welling in her eyes. Minutes earlier she had ordered her driver to pull over at Esther's Hair Salon in LA, and announced: "I want my hair shaved off."
Now, after grabbing the electric buzzer and shearing her mousy locks off, there was nothing anyone could do. "She said her mom was going to be mad," remembers hairdresser Esther. "And she got a little teary-eyed. She all of a sudden realised what she did."
The stylist, who had tried to talk her out of this public sabotage, tried to make her feel better by complimenting her "nice shaped head" while photographers outside rushed to wire the photos around the globe.
The pictures convinced the watching world that Britney was losing the plot and on the verge of a cataclysmic breakdown. There were theories that she'd shed her locks because of a threat that the courts were going to take hair follicles for drug testing. But with joint custody already agreed there was no prospect of such a procedure.
But the head-shaving had little to do with self-loathing, more a loathing against the public persona that had defined her until then.
What few people knew was that Britney was rowing with her mum, Lynne, who seemed to be incessantly reminding her daughter of her motherly duties and responsibilities. This was all being viewed as controlling behaviour.
The head-shaving moment was the culmination of an escalating rebellion, heightened by heartbreak over her divorce and custody battle, that can be traced back to 2004 when Britney decided she no longer wished to conform, be controlled or take instruction.
Britney had been well-coached in the messages that imagery conveys and this one dramatic image told her mama, and any other interested controllers: "So now what are you going to do with the pop star?" What better way to rid herself of the performer's identity than by losing the very hair she was famous for; sabotaging the act to free the person? Suddenly, the superficiality of the pop star lay on the salon floor.
TOMORROW: DAD'S BOOZY RAGES DROVE BRITNEY TO TEARS

Britney Spears: The inside story behind her demons - she was scared of drunken dad
4/06/2009
It was a traumatic scene that no child should ever have to see, but one that was replayed over and over again in the young life of Britney Spears.
Her father Jamie was shouting, her mother Lynne lay crumpled in a heap on the kitchen floor. Then, her dad begging for forgiveness at her feet, Lynne would give him yet another chance.
Such distressing, emotionally-charged episodes were all too familiar during Britney’s childhood.
Her fans saw a beautiful, smiling girl who told sugar-coated tales of an idyllic childhood. But her close family knew that the reality was, sadly and starkly, very different.
Britney Jean Spears was not born into a stable home. She was born into a dysfunctional disordered one because of her father’s alcoholic rages. The rows and fights she witnessed left her a bundle of nerves that others, including her own mother, would mistake for natural excitement or energy.
Her Uncle Willie – Jamie’s brother – bore witness to some of the ugly incidents.
He says: “One time Jamie was drunk and tried to drive off with Britney in the car. She was no more than five years old. “I tried to stop him, so I reached into the truck to grab the keys from the ignition and he punched me. We got right into it there by the car, fighting in front of her.
“Britney was jumping up and down, crying. Lynne had to run out to get her inside.
“We Spears men are known for fighting. If Britney happened to be there, so be it.
“Another time I was at the house and Jamie walked in drunk and called Lynne a bad name. She was in the kitchen drinking water and he grabbed the glass, walked into the lounge and just hurled it. It was rough, but the sad thing is that it became normal life.
“At first, Britney was a scared child and you’d catch her crying but she reached the stage when she just walked off, as if it wasn’t happening. And as she got older, she would scream and curse at her parents, trying to get them to stop fighting.”
When yet another row erupted at their modest three-bedroom bungalow in Kentwood, Louisiana, Britney would seek refuge in her aunt Chanda’s trailer, parked nearby.
Chanda recalls Britney as sweet but timid. A girl made quiet and withdrawn by all the hollering and verbal abuse – until she had to perform. Britney’s need to perform allowed her to escape the pain and anxiety of home. Although she is prone to over-analysing and appointing self-blame for her past troubles, her parents had their problems long before she was born.
In fact, her mother filed for divorce in 1980, a year before Britney was even conceived. Those legal papers reveal the flip side of Britney’s childhood, offering insights into the adult she would turn into and the father who would become her legal guardian in 2008.
Lynne’s divorce application was on the grounds of adultery. According to the petition, Jamie cheated on Christmas Day, 1979.
The legal papers allege that Jamie was seen in a Kentwood bar with a local woman and was “observed hugging, kissing and fondling this woman”. From there, Lynne writes, they went to the Spears’ trailer: “Where he committed adultery during the late evening hours of December 25 and the early morning hours of December 26.”
Lynne also sought a restraining order. Her petition says: “She fears the defendant will become angry when served with these papers; that he will harass and/or physically harm her, especially if he has been drinking.”
Divorce papers were withdrawn in March 1980. But they finally split 20 years later.
Jamie’s friends describe him as “a man with a big heart, a good soul but a stronger liver”.
He and Britney have had their problems. But after having treatment for alcohol addiction in 2004, Jamie emerged a new man and was determined to be a better father.
It was Jamie who rescued his fragile daughter when she was at her lowest point.
And now ,with him as her legal guardian, Britney’s life is on the up again…
Family in the poverty trap
The full extent of the Spears’ poverty has never fully been told.
But some periods were so dark and desperate that Britney would go to the fridge and find it bare. She has told friends that “people don’t realise how broke we were”.
Her dad would hunt for food in the woods near their home – that meant eating rabbit and squirrel.
Mum Lynne and dad Jamie began their married life in a cramped trailer at Simpson’s Trailer Park in Kentwood.
They had progressed to a small bungalow before Britney was born, but Jamie neglected the family gym business and bills went unpaid. It didn’t help that he played poker. Often he lost, and he lost heavily. And then he drank heavily.
In 1998, as Britney got a record deal, the family business went bust with debts including £31,000 in unpaid taxes.
A family friend says: “Years of working every hour God sent to fund Britney’s dream caught up with them.”
Now, thanks to Britney amassing a £40million fortune, the family’s money worries are finally over.

She was on Prozac at 18
Britney had stunning looks, bags of talent, a multi-million dollar fortune and worldwide fame. But away from the cameras she was a nervous wreck and had been prescribed Prozac (used for depression and panic attacks) at the age of 18.
During the European leg of her Oops! I Did It Again tour in the winter of 2000, she began having “massive anxieties” in the middle of the night. A source close to her says: “She had trouble sleeping and crying fits. She was restless and agitated. Nights were the only times she was alone and she struggled with that… When nothing was happening, it drove her crazy. Only exhaustion would knock her out.”
Such anxiety was not drug-induced. This was Britney’s natural state, but heightened by fame. Her moods started to swing noticeably, high and happy one minute, sad and brooding the next. She just dismissed it as “silly ole me!”
Such was the level of concern that Britney was prescribed Prozac but she treated it like headache tablets, taking a pill only on the days she awoke depressed. This seemed to make her more manic.
As early as 2000 the writing was on the wall. Inevitably, something would give.

Well, lets take a look here: Britney has grossed about 62 million dollars from 29 of her North American shows. She is expected to take in about 120 million dollars total. She already has the most succesful headlining tour of 2009, and the most for a female this year.
While her US reviews were mostly mixed, her UK reviews have been mostly positive. While a lot have not been posted yet, from the 6 or so I've read, 5 were positive and one was negative. Not only that, but some said she DID sing live, her fans said that she sang some songs live, and some youtube videos appear to show her singing live.
Suck on that, haters.
I like Britney but I love Lindsay ¡¡¡

LMAO! THE REAL BRITNEY SPEARS has a more disgusting weave and is FATTER in 2009 than she was at the 2007 VMA!!! Look at the rolls of CELLULITE on her gut in 2009!!! Somebody buy the filthy c u n t a mirror!!!

Bitchney lived in a trailer and ate squirrel! *gag* *dry heaves*
7:54, she was leaning over. You dont have a gut when you lean over? Are you too perfect for everyone else that you have to make fun of others, such as Britney?
Grow up, kid.
Britney should consider herself lucky Kevin hasn’t told the world what it was like living with her mercurial moods, pill popping and drinking. It must have been very hard for him to live with his mentally ill wife after the children were born. I’m sure Kevin is relieved he doesn’t have to consult with her about important decisions since he was awarded full legal and physical custody of his children. It’s sad the children only lived with their mom for a few months out of their short lives. But I’m glad the judge acted in the best interest of the children. If he hadn’t the children would be living in a dysfunctional home with their mom similar to her childhood home.
My body is tight with rock hard abs. It’s called working out asshole. You and Fatney should try it sometime. My mom is almost twice her age and she has a better body than Britney. You don’t get CELLULITE from leaning. She was leaning in the 2007 & 2009 pics. SHE HAS ROLLS OF CELLULITE BLUBBER IN 2009!!! Somebody buy the filthy c u n t a mirror and tell her to cover her fat ass!!!
Now, 8:58, you think I'm fat? let me get this straight - you have never met me, you dont know my name, my age, my gender, basically anything about me. Yet I'm somehow fat because I defend Britney?
You're attempt to try and snap back at me was stupid. And yeah, she has cellulite. So what? Since when is being healthy a bad thing? Just because she doesnt have those rock heard abs doesnt mean she isnt healthy. Her body looks great. Its not the most amazing thing I've ever seen, but its not terrible.
Condemning her for cellulite is sad. I'm sorry that you're so perfect and you get a free pass on judging her because you may have a better body.
Kevin became a better father than Britney is a mother. Jamie and Lynne became better parents than Britney is a parent. I still hope Britney will learn to become a good parent who makes decisions based on her children’s best interests instead of her own. Britney’s recovery is contingent on her ability to differentiate between truths and lies (especially Sam’s lies). She needs to learn from her poor decisions and exercise sound judgment.
When Britney was spiraling out of control, her undiagnosed/untreated mental illness was compounded by her intellectual and emotional immaturity, alcohol, controlled substance binges and a manipulative entourage stoking her fears. Clearly Britney did not know how to properly care for her children and she feared losing them. It was a justifiable fear. Not because of other people but because of her reprehensible behavior. However she was either unable and/or unwilling to accept her behavior created undesirable consequences and became obsessed with imaginary conspiracies.
Britney willfully and repeatedly violated the custody judge’s orders. She begrudgingly submitted to random drug testing and defiantly refused to submit to a 730 psychological evaluation. If she had heeded the court’s order when it was issued she would have begun receiving the medical treatment she desperately needed much sooner. Her defiance led to her condition worsening. It culminated in a 5150, the LAPD issuing a restraining order barring her from contact with her children and the 5150/5250 which led to the legally, medically and financially necessary conservatorship.
Obviously Sam manipulated the situation by stoking her fear which grew into paranoia. She steadfastly refused to assume responsibility for her predicament and preferred to see herself as a victim of plots. Anyone who did not placate her delusions became the enemy in her eyes - including her ex-husband and parents. If any of Britney’s revolving custody attorneys tried to explain that parents are not the only interested parties with legal rights to children - she certainly was not listening. Her fear/paranoia about her ex-husband and parents conspiring to deprive her of the children were/remain unwarranted. During the custody hearings, Britney’s erratic and dangerous behavior led to the judge terminating her rights several times. While she was busy jeopardizing her slim chance of being awarded joint custody, her parents were exercising their legal rights under California Family Code Section 3104. Britney, in a conspiratorial frame of mind with the paparazzi in tow, drove an hour to the set of Zoey 101 where she attempted to humiliate her mother. As she returned to her car, she smiled and waved at the photographers. Her aberrant behavior was most disquieting.
Her lackluster progress has led to a plethora of new litigation. In January 2009, the conservatorship had been in effect for a year. Manipulators were still able to rouse her delusional belief her father would withhold her children. The conservatorship is approaching 1 ½ year mark. Britney is continuing to receive psychiatric care. She needs to do the hard work sifting through the truths and lies then letting go of her unwarranted fears. If her parents had not maintained a good relationship with her ex-husband/the father of their grandchildren and exercised their legal rights under Section 3104, it is questionable her father would have been able to negotiate monitored visitation when she lost custody. One day I would like to hear Britney uttered five simple words, thank you mom and dad. That would be a happy ending.
There was a time when this place was frequented by women who wanted Britney to survive her ordeal and learn how to make sound decisions. Many were parents who hoped she would become a proper mother to her children. They neither worshiped nor loathed the woman. Britney’s young fans should remember parenthood is a lifetime commitment. Parents have a vested interest in the well being of their children and grandchildren. If and/or when you decide to have children, you will understand.

I ♥ Sam and Linds!
Brit's big o.O and not in a good way.
Britney isn't 17 anymore. She's 27 and had two kids. Different costumes would help her look more fit.
Very well said eman!
Not only should Britney thank her parents,she should
also thank Kevin for being a good father to their sons.
Really she should thank her family,friends,millions of fans
who continue to pray for her,etc. They all helped save her life.
She's a good person who has been through some really hard times.
I think when Madonna kissed Britney, it made an impression on Lindsey Lohan. Remember, Lindsey tried to get into an after concert party with Britney ? She was denied entrance, that proves, Britney is not a lesbian. Cool Brit !
Thanks 11:57.
I agree 7:42. Kevin has been a good father. Sometime people forget he has been a full time parent raising two sons now ages 3 and 2. The combination of verbalization and locomotion can be exhausting. In the evening, lying down and reading a bedtime story is not only loved by children but by the exhausted parent! Full time parenting is demanding even with a nanny who provides part time assistance because one parent is absent. Their marriage failed but they will always be bound by parenthood. I hope she thanks Kevin for the unsung contributions his has made in their sons lives.
I am not a fan of her music. But that’s alright. I am certain I listen to some music her fans would dislike. However, I am fan of young women learning and striving to improve their lives -- with help if necessary. Ever since their sons dressed as adorable bumblebees for school, she has become progressively more attentive and nurturing while visiting with them. I think it would be best for everyone concerned if she retired at the end of the tour. I hope she expresses gratitude to her fans for the steadfast support they have given her over the years. It would be appropriate.
Two corrections:
"he" has made
and
I am "a"
Britney is on whole different level than Lindsay. Britney's actully famous for something unlike Lindsay. Oh wait, Lindsay is famous for being too skinny and stalking her DJ girlfriend.
I disagree 1:14. Lindsay was famous for being an actress. She has lost the plot. Lindsay has become a tabloid staple just like Britney was until her parents intervened. Lindsay needs assistance from her family too.
Lesbians blah!
