A Sad Day for CBR - nay, the world - Britney Spears Mega-Thread

[Athena Bast]

I swear I'm not being pervy by singling this out, but..."issues of nudity"? What the hell does that even mean?

Assuming it means she sometimes walks around naked in front of her kids...so friggin' what? They're two and one, for goodness sake!

Ya... they should have been seeing her bare titties all the time.

[Valmore]

Fool! Does she not realize bullets cannot kill K-Fed!

You totally have to dump soap and water on him.

IT BURNS LIKE HYGIENE!!!

Knowing how wacko she's been attacking ...I'm gonna say this is true. Britney gets the honor of losing her children to a man whose biggest claim to fame is winning at X-Box 360. Yes ...Britney has reached a level of LOSER I can't even describe.

I thought his claim to fame was marrying Britney Spears?

[Charles RB]

It's the kids I feel sorry for in this in the custody battle. Whoever wins, they lose.

Also, that's pretty worrying if she did plan to hire a hitman.

[Jack Zodiac]

I love going to The Superficial for my tabloid journalism because the guy who writes it's fucking hilarious. Here's a list of shit Kevin Federline could do and still win his custody battle:

Fuck the judge's wife.
Fuck the judge's daughter.
Fuck the judge's wife and daughter at the same time, take pictures, blow 'em up, and bring 'em in as his "attorneys."
Leave Kevin Jr. and Kevin III in the car for the entire hearing. In the trunk. With a bag full of nails.
Shoot heroin into his eyelids while he's on the stand.
Kill one of, but not both of, his children.

Britney Spears couldn't get her kids back short of inventing a time machine and fixing all of her fuck-ups over the past four or five years, and even then she'd probably get distracted with her past self and wind up getting trashed and having four kids she could lose custody of in the future.

Britney has been acting weird this year, but the hitman thing actually sounds more like a K-Fed scheme to make her look bad and get him custody, so that the money keeps rolling his way. Either way, these kids would be better off with an anonymous adoption.

I know strippers with kids, they show their vagina and grind their asses into mens laps for money.

[Corrina]

Yes, but they're not in the middle of a custody battle and their vagina is presumably not seen by millions in photo and video on news sites.

Hey, I'm not taking sides. I'm just saying that wearing now underwear in public and this exposing one's vagina under a miniskirt to a crowd of photographers is probably what's being called 'nudity issues.'

Britney's vagina is just so played out by now. Britney, we get it. You have a vagina. Congratulations. Put it away now.

Personally, if I'm either of those children, I'd be begging for a basket and a drop-off in front of Brangelina's estate.

Yeah, but she's of age. I thought that was an issue........

Even if she burns out now and is never heard of again until Vh1 taps her to be on some pop culture nostalgia show 20 years from now (God, I pray the dead bee epidemic has killed us off by then) she will have enjoyed more fame, wealth and excesses than most Americans will ever get the chance to.

[Magneto_X]

Which is why she's in the state she is in.

Britney has alienated not only her family (as much as I despise her mother she's more credible as a parent then Spears) but her manager, lawyer and the people who made her look uber-hot in the first place.

The manager and lawyer quit on the *same day*!!! :eek:

Christina is clearly the better singer but Britney was the better performer and out-shone Christina. After the Britney/Madonna kiss everyone was talking about that 'shocking' moment but very little mention was made of the Christina/Madonna kiss that happened just moments later and Christina was reportedly very upset about that slight. Talent just doesn't make these days; it takes looks, charisma and showmanship and Britney had those over Christina at the time.

She's from the deep south, so she's probably only able to suppress the accent when she makes a conscious effort to do so.

I'm not sure it was exactly that. I think it was the combination of innocence and sex appeal that boosted Britney's career. From that first album cover with Britney on her knees peering up like an adorably submissive puppy to that first video with her bouncing around in a Catholic schoolgirl uniform and pigtails (really, WTF?), she was all about selling forbidden sex. Spears was more than sexualized--she was fetishized. Like a kind of creepy step-dad, the public became way too interested in watching her grow up and seeing shots of her nipples slipping out of dresses and hearing who she lost her virginity to. Aguilera, despite being openly sexual, never really enjoyed (suffered?) that sort of scrutiny.

and never espoused christian like statements about waiting till marriage and keeping her virginity intact.

If you'll re-read my post you'll see that I said 'had'. Christina is above her now but she's no where near the popularity Brit had. That's pretty much been given to Beyonce, Gwen and Rihanna right now with no clear winner.

And X-tina looked pretty bad. About one step away from porn actress status.

I'm kind of amazed to post a celebrity rant, but geez, some things are so stupid they practically invite comment.

Bored as hell while eating dinner, I clicked on some celeb gossip, and found a story about Britney Spears' current antics. It's not like I've ever really followed the news about her (what I know is mostly just the stuff one gets from headlines and such), or cared about her at all, but reading this, I just had to ask... what the fuck is up with this woman? Is she seriously this stupid? Does she need to have a guardian appointed or something?

An excerpt:
Leave it to Britney Spears to turn a humiliating indictment of her mothering skills to her advantage. On Sunday, TMZ.com captured the sense-impaired screw-up as she exited her car and left Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, who were strapped in their car seats and in the line of paparazzi fire, under the watchful eye of the court-appointed monitor.

So, what pressing business prompted Calamity Brit to treat the woman whose opinion weighs heavily in her custody battle with Kevin Federline as her personal babysitter?

Was she checking to see when "Bee Movie" was playing? Or stopping to get directions to the nearest petting zoo? Or running into a bookstore to buy the entire Dr. Seuss collection with some of the $700,000-plus she rakes in every month?

Nope.

Turns out the mangled-maned chart-topper (despite everything, "Blackout" is a hit) was shopping for a chandelier, a luxury lighting emergency that cut into the three supervised visits per week she's allowed with her sons.

Spears' personal paparazzi contingent snapped her gazing at the bright and shiny wares at a store called the Crystal Palace, while back in the car the monitor appeared to do her best to keep Sean Preston entertained.

She even managed to win a rare smile -- distressingly dentally challenged though it looked -- from the little guy, using a little-known technique that involves actual adult-to-child interaction.

Alas, this wasn't the only instance Britney's complete lack of judgment was on display over the weekend. She hit a tanning salon on Saturday, a bronzing appointment so important she couldn't be bothered to find legal parking.

Apparently unaware that cluelessness is not a recognized disability, she pulled her white Mercedes convertible into a clearly marked handicapped spot


She's one of the highest-profile, most-observed people on earth - ahead of all but maybe a handfull of world leaders in this regard - and she does this sort of thing in full public view, and with a court monitor present. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but didn't this woman lose custody of her kids recently due to neglect? What, is she now shooting for complete termination of her parental rights? What does that require in California anyway? Given some of the things which have resulted in kids being taken from their parents, I can't believe this woman is currently allowed any contact with her kids at all.

And why the fuck did the court monitor not say "No way!" to this shit? I suppose I can buy that either a) the monitor is just standing by and letting Britney hang herself, or b) she was stunned by the obvious stupidity of the actions, but how well does it serve the taxpayers for their money to go into buying Britney Spears a babysitter while she goes tanning and shopping for luxury items?

I wouldn't trust this woman with a pet, nonetheless a kid. At this point, if I was the judge, I'd be ordering IQ or neurological testing for this twit.

[howyadoin]

And why the fuck did the court monitor not say "No way!" to this shit?Maybe she's related to the sheriff who let Paris Hilton outta jail a month early.

Nah, not at all. I'm usually clueless about celeb stuff, unless it's stuff with such high media saturation that you can't possibly miss it. The other MSN headline stuff was either stuff I'd already read, or looked even less interesting than celebrity hair pointers, so I decided to splurge, only to be treated with this paragon of stupidity.

[Jared_Humpherys]

it's always surprised me that serial killers don't go after people like this. surely there are all sorts of sociopaths at the night clubs she frequents. not one of them has taken a stab at glory and offed a high profile degenerate. oh well. i hope Brittney turns her life around before her children are permanently damaged.

Honestly in this state......a lot. We had a woman who burned her son's genetials with hot water on purpose and would deprive him of food and bed...and the judge thought it would not be a good idea for her to loose the son to his grandparents for a few weeks. In this state...anything short of showing up to court with a gun to the kids head and telling the judge you are gonna pop him or her in the presence the judge is not enough to lose your child.

I guess that explains things. In this state, it's way, way too easy for a person to lose their kids, but it sounds far too much the other way in CA. So, maybe it's not just stupidity, but an awareness that so long as one of the kids doesn't starve to death in her custody, it pretty much doesn't matter what she does. Hell, now the state's provided her with a babysitter.

Astounding.

[frankiedetroit]

What's also so stupid about Britney is that she usually alerts the paparazzi to where she's going to be, so that there will be a crowd of them there to film her idiocy. It's such a symbiotic relationship between her and the camera crews that trail her. Don't ever feel sorry that she's so hounded.

[Paradox]

So at what point do we separate "she's a white trash dimwit" from "she's setting things up and acting weird for publicity attention"? Not that anything in my life depends on the answer, or there even being an answer.

Even if this is a bid for attention, it's a poorly-conceived one that makes her look like a world-class dimwit.

Well she ISN'T exactly a rocket surgeon. Maybe she looked at Jessica Simpson and just isn't good at acting "popular dumb" as she is.

She's dumb at such a level that other dumb people would consider her dumb.

Epic-level dumbness.

[pariah-1972]

I don't exactly know the rules for all this, but could she get in trouble of have a bad report for leaving her kids with the court appointed monitor? maybe she asked her if it was ok and the monitor said she would watch them briefly? and do we know how long she was in there shopping ?

Although i agree with Jeffrey that out here in the south or the midwest where most people cant afford high priced attorneys stuff like this would negate you're visitation rights completely i'm sure.
my friend and my roomates best friend had her kids taken away according to him because the father wont get a job and i was sort of incredulous and asking if they were being fed and taking care of with clothes and shelter and he said they were.
i'm not sure if i agree with that ruling that the father must get a job or hes not allowed to see his kids ever ever seems a little strict to me especially knowing how hard it is to get a job here in this town.

[Athena Bast]

TMZ has video of her leaving the courthouse and one of the cops/bailiffs told her to turn left several times because there was no way for her to go right.

So she turns right and runs over a bailiff's foot (the second foot she's run over in a week).

[JeffreyWKramer]

I don't think money was the problem Jeff i don't think she understands the monitor is not there to watch her kids while she shops.

If that's the case, then a) the monitor should tell her that, and b) she clearly is too stupid to be considered even a minimally competent parent.

WTF!!! Do you have a link to this story because I really want to read this because that is just bull shit. That Judge needs to get off the bench asap.
My parents(well just my mom now) have been foster parents for over 15 years now and from my knowledge there's no way in hell that kid would have been given back to his mother if she lived in my county.

As for Spears and the reason why she is still able to see her kids is because of the obvious reasons: 1) she has a lot of money 2) she is able to get the best lawyers in the country 3) she is a star living in LA. Not hard to figure out.

[JeffreyWKramer]

EMZOHR is probably engaging in a bit of hyperbole, but he's also probably stating things as they are, and he should know, given that he works in law enforcement in California.

I'm not calling what EMZOHR said bs, I'm refering to the Judge not thinking the mom should lose her son to be bs.

I also have family in law enforcement as well and have foster brothers and sisters who have had some awful things happpen to them in the in the past. So I know a lot when it comes to these type of subjects.

[Gilda Dent]

She's been a star performer since, what, about ten, with the Mickey Mouse Club. My guess is that she was the family breadwinner most of her adolescence, and thus was catered to most of that time by adults who should have been providing guidance.

Her job since then has been a: being rich and b: being a celebrity. These things don't generally prepare one for being a responsible adult. How many child stars successfully transition into being responsible adults while continuing to work in the media? There's Jodi Foster and . . . that's pretty much all I can think of. They either self-destruct or move out of the industry or into areas where they're off camera.

Which isn't meant as a defense of Britney. She's still an adult making adult choices and doing a bad job of it.

As to the other questions, court monitored visitation isn't even the most restrictive they can get before taking away all rights. I'm not sure about California, but here they can restrict visitation to a couple of hours in a county building/room designated for that purpose, and not even be allowed any degree of custody.

A monitor's duties can vary depending on jurisdiction. It could be that the monitor is restricted such that she's not allowed to interfere unless Britney attempts to leave the jurisdiction or engages in abuse. They already expect her to neglect the children--that's why the monitor is there in the first place.

Again, this isn't a defense, just a guess at some possible contributing factors.

What baffles me is why she didn't do what nearly every rich person on earth does with children they don't want to have to deal with themselves and hire a nanny to provide basic care.

Shopping during visitation does seem to be an indication that she doesn't care a whole lot for her children and that she isn't very bright.

[Toreador]

If the monitor didn't object why should we? How old is this story, a couple of days? Has there been a backlash (court related, not mindless public outrage) yet?

She actually has gone through a series of "Mannys"; they always were there in every photo for a couple of months then dissapeared. I suspect she is really hard to work for. There was also speculation that KF made her get rid of them. Who knows?

Similar to Gilda, I actually feel bad for her, she never had a chance to grow up, and had a mother constantly pushing her, but with no real guidance.


I read today that the mother is actually embarrassed at how she raised Britney.


If any of us grew up with no guidance and thrust into the spotlight, I don't think we would have been any less conflicted.

[thehod]

It also doesn't help that for most of her life she's been surrounded by people who've continually said yes to her, and continue to do so.

What she needs is to be stop being treated like a damn princess by everyone around her, and maybe she'll learn to stop acting like one.

I wouldn't call her stupid, just increadibly, increadibly naive.

[Paradox]

I think I'd opt for both, hod.

[thehod]

I think I'd opt for both, hod.

Well yeah, that's probably true too.

I don't think she's likley to complete any crosswords anytime soon, but I think a lot of the things she does which comes across as stupid are, most of the time, down to a total lack of street smarts.

She needs to be allowed to live in the real world for a while and not in this little princess fantasy she's been in since she was ten.

I don't believe it is actually a parenting book:

She created a momster? “I blame myself.”

That’s what Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne, tells Life & Style Weekly in regard to Brit’s troubled behavior.

“I wish I’d been there more while she was touring,” says Spears, who is shopping her book, “Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World,” for a Mother’s Day release. “But I couldn’t be. I had the other kids to look after.”

That title does not sound like how to parent.

[pariah-1972]

Wow this has got to be the first time i have ever seen a mom blame her bad parenting skills on her other children:eek:

[SUPERECWFAN1]

http://entertainment.msn.com/music/hotgossip/11-05-07?GT1=7702

I'm kind of amazed to post a celebrity rant, but geez, some things are so stupid they practically invite comment.

Bored as hell while eating dinner, I clicked on some celeb gossip, and found a story about Britney Spears' current antics. It's not like I've ever really followed the news about her (what I know is mostly just the stuff one gets from headlines and such), or cared about her at all, but reading this, I just had to ask... what the fuck is up with this woman? Is she seriously this stupid? Does she need to have a guardian appointed or something?

An excerpt:


She's one of the highest-profile, most-observed people on earth - ahead of all but maybe a handfull of world leaders in this regard - and she does this sort of thing in full public view, and with a court monitor present. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but didn't this woman lose custody of her kids recently due to neglect? What, is she now shooting for complete termination of her parental rights? What does that require in California anyway? Given some of the things which have resulted in kids being taken from their parents, I can't believe this woman is currently allowed any contact with her kids at all.

And why the fuck did the court monitor not say "No way!" to this shit? I suppose I can buy that either a) the monitor is just standing by and letting Britney hang herself, or b) she was stunned by the obvious stupidity of the actions, but how well does it serve the taxpayers for their money to go into buying Britney Spears a babysitter while she goes tanning and shopping for luxury items?

I wouldn't trust this woman with a pet, nonetheless a kid. At this point, if I was the judge, I'd be ordering IQ or neurological testing for this twit.

You missed it when she left her kids crying on her doorstep for 40 minutes. Federline's driver took them back to him. Her latest fiasco is not doing the drug testing as ordered. She's an idiot.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I don't believe it is actually a parenting book:

Britney;s mom is just a fucking idiot. She failed at Britney and realizes it. Its not like her touring led down this alley. Thats a cop out.

Physically she's nowhere near her prime.

While the media exaggerates how bad she's looking (ala JLH) Brit is far from sizzlingly attractive.

Most teenage girls and adult women look hotter then she does right now. And unlike Brit they most likely have a brain and personality to go with it.

[Magneto_X]

Great. Now Britney is shoplifting. I'm tired of seeing nearly every celebrity just slapped on the wrist when they break the law. Send a message, to fans and to other celebrities that there are real consequences when you get caught breaking the law. Isn't Britney on probation for something or other? She needs to be arrested, lose all custody and visitation rights with her kids, and then sent to jail, followed by rehab and possibly a trip to a sanitarium. Otherwise, kids will get the wrong message, that it's okay for rich and famous people to break the law.

Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney's young sons, says: "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."

She says her actress daughter, the telegenic heroine of the popular Nickelodeon series "Zoey 101," has known Aldridge for years and began dating him in high school.

She was probably never late for curfew because they were doing it during the day.

NEW YORK - Lynne Spears' book about parenting has been delayed indefinitely, her publisher said Wednesday.

Lindsey Nobles, a spokeswoman for Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., said Wednesday that the memoir by the mother of Britney Spears was put on hold last week. She declined to comment on whether the delay was connected to the revelation that Spears' 16-year-old daughter, Jamie Lynn, is pregnant.

"I can tell you that we are standing behind Lynne and supporting her decision to be with her family at this time," Nobles told The Associated Press.

"Pop Culture Mom: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World" was initially scheduled for release May 11, Mother's Day. Spears, the mother of three children with ex-husband Jamie Spears, had been working with a Michigan-based freelancer since March on the memoir chronicling Spears' experiences raising a family in the public eye.

Jamie Lynn Spears, star of Nickelodeon's "Zoey 101" and sister of Britney, told OK! magazine in its new issue that she's expecting her first child and the father is boyfriend Casey Aldridge.

Nobles and representatives for Britney Spears said they did not know how Lynne Spears could be reached for comment about the status of her book.

Oh, we're in the clear so long as we don't do the same things ourselves. So boo to you bad mothers! (but I have nothing to say to all of you bad sons...)

[pariah-1972]

I did not know Britney Spears and her clan claimed to be Christians. I don't want them! And I'm a conservative Christian! I don't know much about this family except what the tabloids say about Britney. If Lynn Spears is a Christian why on earth would she let her daughter live with her boyfriend? What Christian publisher was going to publish her book?

I'm at a lost here.Britney has made some slight pseudo conservative views on Bush and his presidency and she has always triangulated between the conservative southern world and teen pop audience and possibley the old perv crowd and her gay following.

:

talk about a blank slate jeez no wonder she sells so many records:eek:

Please.

Try to tell me you didn't hear the same rumors about Catholic girls that I did as a kid. ;)

At that time I was a good catholic boy and didn't put stock in such bad sounding rumors.

[Deathstroke]

heh.

Isn't it sad how infamy and fame are now one and the same?

Fame has a half life of 15 minutes. Infamy lasts a bit longer.

Now the story is that the mother brokered a deal for the story exclusive and pics once the kid is born for a million bucks.

I thought it was illegal to pimp children in this country?

Right but you would expect a christian book publisher to have better morals than that.Of course. Christians never do anything immoral.

I thought it was illegal to pimp children in this country?If it was, Britney's mom would've been in prison 10 years ago.

His job is to "comfort" Jamie-Lynn. Isn't that enough? lol

Choo! Choo! Here comes the bullsh*t train! Apparently Jamie Lynn Spear’s parents think highly of her 19-year-old boyfriend Casey Aldridge. Even in light of all the knocking up that somehow hasn’t landed him in jail. Jamie Lynn’s family considers Casey a stand-up guy and simply adore him and his wholesome background, according to People:

"He took amazing care of Jamie Lynn," a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. "Anything ever went wrong, he always comforted her. He took care of her."

Except here’s the problem: Something did go wrong. It’s called a baby and it now rests inside the uterus of a 16-year-old girl. Where did it come from? Perhaps, maybe from Mr. Stand-up Guy’s penis. But it’s cool. He’ll comfort Jamie by letting her wear his varsity jacket. Aw, everything’s better. I dunno, I'm sort of bitter. Anytime I knock up a girl I’m never adored by her parents with kind words. I’m mostly adored with fists or, one time, a shotgun-- shaped like a fist.

The guy who wrote that article seems to forget that the Spears family is anything but normal.
besides it's not like Jaime lynn can't afford to take care of the child or will have to balance school or work and having a baby like most single moms her age.

Even with money some people are bad parents. Look at her sister.

But you're right --- Jamie Lynn is in a much better position them most 16 year old pregnant girls.

But you're right --- Jamie Lynn is in a much better position them most 16 year old pregnant girls.Yes thank you and Jaime does seem a little more grounded and normal than Britney at least for the moment.

and i am hoping that Jaime learns to rely on her family and friends for help with the kids which Britney doesn't seem willing to do.

[Toku King]

Looks like Zoey needs a 101. On condoms, that is.

Ha. Sexual education pun. Haha.

Bah, she's 16 and can support herself. If she was smart, she'd file for emancipated minor status and get the hell away from her family.

and how much money does a child star make from a tv show anyways?
they don't get royalties.

[Paradox]

pariah-1972 choses which:

I don't know if letting a 16 year old hollywood brat raise a kid all by herself is a great idea either.

Considering her mom's track record, she could hardly do worse. One would assume a RICH "hollywood brat" would hire someone to do most of the work.

and how much money does a child star make from a tv show anyways?

I'm going to guess way WAY more than most two-paycheck families.

they don't get royalties.

Why wouldn't she? If she doesn't, she'd better fire her agent and get a new one.

EDIT: Tried looking some of this up, but unfortunately I just get page after page after page of "OMG, she's pregnant!"

[StoneGold]

Supposedly Spears and her mom have been blowing through the cash at record speed. And as it is unlikely Nick is going to rerun the episodes, no syndication money. Not that there isn't cash in... well, whatever it is Tara Reid does these days. And she does have that million coming when the baby is born for first pictures. But let's just say her babydaddy didn't quite luck into the jackpot Federline did.

[Loren]

Supposedly Spears and her mom have been blowing through the cash at record speed.

Ah yes, this story (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/11/05/nbritney105.xml):

According to court documents, Spears has around $737,000 (£352,775) to play with each month.

A notorious party animal since her divorce from dancer-turned-rapper Federline in July, she splashes out $102,000 (£48,823) on entertainment, gifts and holidays, $16,000 (£7,658) to ensure she never need wear the same outfit twice and $4,758 (£2,277) eating out.

Combined, the $122,758 (£58,759) a month - or $1.47m (£705,118) a year - the troubled star spends enjoying herself dwarfs the $500 (£239) a month or $6,000 (£2,872) a year she gives to charity.

To counter her hedonistic lifestyle, the diva spends $86,397 (£41,355) on health insurance premiums and other medical costs - believed to include regular stays in rehabilitation.

She also spends $61,271 (£29,387) on mortgage payments on her two US homes. And she still pays her ex-husband a total of $15,000 (£7,180) in child support and $20,000 (£9,573) in spousal support, although the latter ends on November 15.

Federline, by comparison, is a model of frugality. His biggest monthly expenses include $7,500 (£3,590) in rent and $6,000 (£2,872) in security, according to his financial declaration.

His clothing budget is an eighth the size of his former wife's at just $2,000 (£957) a month. He also spends about twenty times less - $5,000 (£2,393) - on entertainment, gifts and holidays, and three times less - $1,500 (£718) - on eating out.

Federline earned more than $500,000 (£239,332) in 2006, mainly from entertainment and endorsement deals, but after business expenses, he took home just $7,436 (£3,559) that year.

I wish some news article actually included those papers, because those numbers just don't add up to $737,000. There's at least $300,000/month unaccounted for.

[pariah-1972]

Paradox i don't think tv stars get paid royalties, but i'm not sure how that all works out really.

and i am willing to be naive and believe that the mother is not entirely at fault for the Britney Spears breakdowns,
since the Britster has stopped listening what anyone has to say around the time she got married to federline and blew off her career.
and the mom was the one who forced her into rehab which is why she is not talking to her at the moment.

she seems to have a lot of the same problems most mothers have today where they are too concerned with looking/feeling/acting young and wanting to be there daughters best friend instead of there mother.

[Deathstroke]

Bah, she's 16 and can support herself. If she was smart, she'd file for emancipated minor status and get the hell away from her family.

I think the fact she was dumb enough to get pregnant proves she isn't exactly smart.

[pariah-1972]

It is probably going to ruin her career since no kiddie type show is going to hire a teenage girl with a baby(sending the wrong message and all) so unless she gets incredibly lucky (ala drew barrymore) her career in showbiz is probably over for now.

[Shellhead]

Not that there isn't cash in... well, whatever it is Tara Reid does these days.

Yeah, I don't understand Tara Reid's "career" anymore. She is a moderately attractive blonde with a little bit of acting ability, nothing special really, who was in a couple of popular movies when she was in her mid-20s. Now she's in her early 30s and hasn't done anything worthwhile in over six years. Why is she still famous enough to make money for it?

[StoneGold]

Ah yes, this story (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/11/05/nbritney105.xml):

No. Wrong set of Spears.

[Paradox]

pariah-1972 really didn't know:

Paradox i don't think tv stars get paid royalties, but i'm not sure how that all works out really.

Oh, yeah, they definitely do. IIRC, it's actually called "residuals" or something like that. It's usually a rather important part of contract negotiations as, in the long term, it can be lots more than they were originally paid for the performance.

Got that right.

Deathstroke goes for dumb:

Eh, I refer you to Kramer's Law #2.

Plus you never know with teen girls. It possibly was entirely on purpose. I'm not saying it WAS, but it's very possible.

Shellhead doesn't see the rubberneckers:

America loves a train wreck. Especially if it's a drunken tramp with "wardrobe malfunction" difficulties.

But those only kick in when the old shows are run again.



Something tells me Nick ain't airing the old shows.

[Paradox]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. They still show Different Strokes. :)

EDIT: Um, "they" being television, not necessarily Nick.

[StoneGold]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. They still show Different Strokes. :)

EDIT: Um, "they" being television, not necessarily Nick.

Yes, but there was a significant gap between the crimes and the syndication. Besides, in this case, the only channels that would probably syndicate the show are Nick and any Nick related channels. And as they are dumping the new shows due to the controversy, including episodes already filmed, it seems unlikely they'd syndicate.

[Paradox]

Hmmm, maybe she needs to host "Wild On" then. :p

Tara Reid is sort of like the girl you meet at a party and is only good for one thing;)

On the local news a couple nights ago they were interviewing some people who started one of those entertainment news websites. During the interview, one of the guys from the site proudly exclaimed "The day Anna Nicole died, we had record hits on our site! Our servers kept crashing!"

Now don't get me wrong, losing Anna Nicole Smith wasn't any great loss as far as I'm concerned, but I still couldn't help feeling that NBC's The Running Man is just around the corner.

Actors in tv shows and movies are supposed to get 4 cents of any projects they get on dvds. They get more if they're big stars with clout. Not sure if Jaime Lynn is a "big star" for that yet plus repeats and syndication. This is the system for writers, not sure if it's different for actors.

How to Talk to Your Child about Jamie Lynn Spears
Advice from a University of Minnesota Expert

A guest column by Davis Logsdon, Chairman of the University of Minnesota's Dept. of Psychology:

As a prominent child psychologist and the father of two tween girls, I have grappled with the same problem that many parents are facing today: how to talk to your child about Jamie Lynn Spears. While this is an issue that every parent must navigate for him or herself, here are some questions that your child is likely to ask, followed by the correct answers.

How did Jamie Lynn Spears get pregnant?

According to her mom, Jamie Lynn was a good girl who always respected her curfew and girls like that usually don’t get pregnant. So the answer is, no one knows.

Could Kevin Federline have made Jamie Lynn Spears pregnant?

No. This is one of those rare instances when someone got pregnant and Kevin Federline was not involved.

Now that Jamie Lynn is pregnant, will Zoey, the character she plays on Nickelodeon, get pregnant, too?

No. Remember, Jamie Lynn is a real person and Zoey is just a made-up character. Plus, Nickelodeon is owned by an angry old man named Sumner Redstone who doesn’t let people get pregnant. So there is absolutely no way Zoey will get pregnant. Instead, Zoey will get cancelled.

Could Hannah Montana get pregnant?

I thought we already went through this. Hannah Montana isn’t a real person. She’s a character played by Miley Cyrus.

Okay, then could Miley Cyrus get pregnant?

No, because her dad’s always around and he creeps boys out.

Are the girls on Disney’s “High School Musical” pregnant?

No, the girls on Disney’s “High School Musical” are not pregnant. They have been too busy posing for naked pictures on the Internet to get pregnant.

If I pose for naked pictures on the Internet, will that keep me from getting pregnant?

It couldn’t hurt.

[Magneto_X]

It's funny how the Lynn keeping bringing up how Jamie shouldn't get pregnant because she's good with curfews.

Like that would change anything if she *didn't* come back after her curfew. :confused:

Not only could she have sex when her parents weren't around but she was *living* with the guy.

Do parents seriously buy that? Specifically Jamie's demographic: evangelical Zoe 101 fans.

edit: I'm looking forward to the reviews of Lynn Spears parenting book. That's going to be hilarious.
