According to celebu-blogger Perez Hilton it might be the case that casey isn't the father of the baby after all that he's just been called in as the fall guy.

http://perezhilton.com/?p=11074#more-11074

Casey is being portrayed as a man whore and Jamie-Lynn's baby daddy might be that of a "Zoey 101" executive.

[Spike-X]

Jamie-Lynn's baby daddy might be that of a "Zoey 101" executive.

Is his last name 'Osbourne', by any chance?

That puts this quote of Jaime's in a new context. lol


"I kind of just keep my options open," she said. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends."

Given that their news is coming from "Star" magazine the odds of this being true are real slim.

[darkhanamaru]

Ug, so i guess the police were called to Britney's house and after three hours, an intoxicated Spears handed her kids over to her ex. Poor kids, poor Britney too. Her career is now really over.

[DonC]

Tmz.com is claiming that Britney isn't on drugs or drinking, she's mental. They claim she's being held in a local hosptial on a "5150 hold," meaning they think she's a danger to herself and others.

[Shellhead]

I take back all the jokes about her eventually turning tricks in Encino. In all seriousness, I think that Britney will be dead before she turns 30. It will either be suicide or an accident due to reckless and stupid behavior.

It will either be suicide or an accident due to reckless and stupid behavior.As long as she is not addicted to some type of hardcore drugs and gets some mental illness help i think she can come back to the real world and live a long life.

I was actually speaking about this with my supervisor last night before we closed up shop for the day: I told her that I have a sinking feeling that at the rate she's going, Britney's gonna be 2008's Anna Nicole Smith.

Part of me does genuinely feel sorry for her and wishes she could get the help she desperately needs.

But mostly, I think she deserves what she's gotten due to the incredibly mindbogglingly bad choices she's made. As far as I'm concerned, she's buttered her bed, now she's gotta lay in it.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

God the entire Spears family is fucked up. Jamie did you not learn anything from older sister Britney's stupid shit ? Well now your gonna be a hasbeen at 16. Way to go... you and your family make the stereo types of southern people more true each day.

Now that's a really perverse mixed metaphor.

Have you ever laid in butter before? It's nasty stuff.

... Not that I'd know anything about that.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Hey now. Getting pregnant doesn't make ona hasbeen.

No but many unlike the Spears family seem to be ...ya know.... adults. They like a Julia Roberts can have twins and have careers and juggle family. But look at Britney and see that she basically gives a fuck for the kids.

Now imagine her younger sister. Who became a huge party girl at 16 and is having a kid. Imagine if she is as bad as Britney.

[StoneGold]

Remember when she was our national good little virgin?

[howyadoin]

Poor kids, poor Britney too. Her career is now really over.I wouldn't be too sure about that. If R. Kelly's career can survive multiple counts of child-molesting, anything's possible.

[Shellhead]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. If R. Kelly's career can survive multiple counts of child-molesting, anything's possible.

I dunno. Britney made her fortune with her sex appeal, but she doesn't look as appealing these days. Time and gravity will continue to take their toll even if Britney stops wolfing down lattes and fast food like they were going out of style. And besides, we've all seen her vagina, and after two kids, it looked unimpressive.

[Athena Bast]

Looks like there's going to be a special edition of Dr. Phil on Monday. She's supposed to show up for the taping.

[Magneto_X]

After the music video "Hit Me Baby One More Time" I'm surprised anyone bought that lie.

Athena:

That sounds like comedy gold. :D

[pariah-1972]

I wouldn't be too sure about that. If R. Kelly's career can survive multiple counts of child-molesting, anything's possible.R kelly has talent and a die hard fanbase (apparently britney does too)and i don't think most people were all that shocked considering he forced Alliyah to marry him when she was under- age.
and he can also spin it as the prosecutors are racist or whatever (it worked for micheal !)

[Magneto_X]

pariah:

Don't forget R.Kelly's brother looks exactly like him, too.

Its said she's lost the kids for perhaps good finally after the stunt on Friday. But since Dr.Phil is soft and he'll call her bad and not really get into the fact she doesn't seem to care about being a good mother... whats the point ?

She was released from the hospital around the time Dr Phil came to see her.

I love what Valerie Bertinelli said about her: "She needs to put on some underwear, go home, and take care of her kids."

[Magneto_X]

I don't see the resemblance.

It's not a good pic. I saw footage of the brother when the media was doing a story on him and they looked identical.


There's a reason he was offering his bro $50 grand to confess it was him caught on the sex tape. If he didn't look like Kelly this tactic would make no sense.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Ohhhh Kevin Federline has been given full custody and now Brits lawyers have quit. Do we honestly blame them for the circus she made it all ?

Lawyers Quit

Federline gets Custody
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-01-04-spears-custody_N.htm


So pretty much she is an idiot...who didn't care and will go on Dr.Phil and shed some false tears. The kids ranked up there next to watering flowers and she's broken down as the career has crashed and burned.

[Shellhead]

I think that it's time to let somebody else be famous.

When I googled Carey Kelly three pictures of him came up and none looked anything like R Kelly. Just because offering money to someone who doesn't look like him wouldn't make sense doesn't mean Kelly didn't do it. Of course, that assumes that Carey is telling the truth.

[pariah-1972]

Most people seem to have assumed he did do it even his friends in the industy have said he has "issues: with underage girls.

It's no wonder Spears has gone completely nuts.

Check out this video of her being taken to the hospital....

BRITNEY SPEARS ON A STRETCHER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc7QT4y3hrk&NR=1)


Ignore the ambulance and instead look at the literally hundreds of paparazzi lining the streets, listen to the helicopters hovering overhead, and you can really see what pushed this girl over the edge.

Fame is a rough game, but it’s only been in the last couple of years that anyone has found themselves living the real world equivalent of the “Truman Show”, like Britney has.

I’m honestly not sure that anyone could take this kind of constant assault for too long with out going nuts too.

[DonC]

You know, rick, I think you're right. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the constant media hounding her led to her snapping.

And, come on, people. It's a hospital. You block the roads, you should be arrested and beaten.

[jessecuster3]

Its nice that some people have some sympathy for her. As her younger sister is now illustrating, the problem stems from bad parenting. The girls do not seem to be getting the guidance they and all children deserve.

There are tons of reasons why the Spears family is as screwed up as it is. But having their whole lives surrounded by hundreds of cameras at every moment of the day and night can’t do anything but make a bad situation infinitely worse.

I’m honestly not sure that anyone could take this kind of constant assault for too long with out going nuts too.The problem is she has been courting the media since day one non stop, so i find it hard to feel any sympathy for her now.
if she were to move out of la and keep a low profile (like brad pitt and angelina jolie have done) then theres a very real chance theres going to be no paparazzi around to follow you.

I am not sure that you can easily equate the two. Briteny has "been in the limelight" since she was 15. She could not and does not have the years of experience with paparazzi that Pitt and Jolie do.

[pariah-1972]

She could not and does not have the years of experience with paparazzi that Pitt and Jolie do.Well i'm no Einstein and i can pretty much tell you that if you don't live in la you are going to have a hard time finding any paparazzi to follow you around.

although she has basically shown a lack of common sense.

[Dreadstar]

Well i'm no Einstein and i can pretty much tell you that if you don't live in la you are going to have a hard time finding any paparazzi to follow you around.

Really? Interesting conjecture, though I suppose it's at least partially correct. I'm sure the numbers would diminish. But "hard time finding any?" Don't know if I believe that. No, I'm pretty sure I don't believe that.

Yeah when you live Hollywood and become famous you live in a BIG GLASS BUBBLE. People are always following and looking at you. But to me if you want smart sane people look at the stars look at those like Martin Sheen who after doing X-MAS shopping at the mall was followed as people snapped pics , video taped him as he laughed and smiled.

"How is everyone's holiday ? Is everyone having a Merry Christmas like me ? I hope you are."

The guys chatted with Sheen asking him if he was gonna visit his grandkids during the holidays.

"Ohh yeah , gonna go see my grandkids this weekend. Can't wait . You all have a happy holidays."


To me its stars like that can show...they know how to handle things. Many of them do...even with cameras shoved in their face , being followed to stores ect ect. They seem to know how to handle the glare and spotlight.

[pariah-1972]

Really? Interesting conjecture, though I suppose it's at least partially correct. I'm sure the numbers would diminish. But "hard time finding any?" Don't know if I believe that. No, I'm pretty sure I don't believe that.Paparazzi only go where there are lots of celebrities, so if you go somewhere where theres not a lot of celebrities you are going to be hard pressed to find paparazzi.
its pretty simple really.


When celebrities truly want to escape them it's usually not that hard but then they start to miss the attention and get lonely and bored.

[Shellhead]

I'm sure misery vampire Dr. Phil is licking his chops.

He's backing away from the situation now:

http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=291351&Gt1=7703

"Dr. Phil Cancels His Britney Spears Show

"In a statement posted Monday on his Web site, McGraw said the 26-year-old pop star's situation was "too intense" for him to go forward with the show. He didn't say whether he planned to reschedule."

He probably realized that there was a strong possibility that she wouldn't show up, and that would be a blow to his rep.

[Magneto_X]

too intense = Britney's not interested

[Shellhead]

too intense = Britney's not interested

And also she probably dropped the F-bomb on him.

[Michael P]

too intense = Britney's not interested

That or he realized if Britney were to continue her freefall after appearing on his show (which, c'mon, you don't have to be Layla Miller to know how this one will end up), even the slack-jawed man-apes that make up the preponderance of his audience would realize he doesn't actually know what the hell he's doing.

what the fuck is this world coming to?

[Darth Joker]

I want to say a few words in defence of Dr. Phil, as I have at times been a fan of his show, and am a bit surprised by the level of hate that some here seem to possibly have for him.

It's quite concievable that Britney's mom did indeed call Dr. Phil, and asked him to step in and try to help. If so, I don't see where it's wrong for him to respond as he did to that request.

Now, if he wasn't contacted by anybody who's a very close relative of Britney Spears or by Britney Spears herself, then I myself would say that it would be very wrong of him to just barge on in to a hospital and try to insert himself into her situation.

However, if her mother called Dr. Phil, then I'm actually inclined to commend him for risking to get involved in a highly explosive, already well off the rails, situation, in the hopes of helping someone out.

Some may say that only Britney Spears herself, since she is an adult herself, should have the right to get particular psychiatrists/psychologists involved, but quite frankly... Britney is getting to the point where I think you can argue that she's of such unsound mind that somebody should be given a level of unquestioned treatment authority over her - and next of kin (i.e. her mother, perhaps), makes some sense to me personally as being such a potential unquestioned authority.

Now, I'm not entirely comfortable myself with the Dr. Phil nationalized televised set-up - I've always been somewhat doubting of the idea that people can truly get productive help for serious problems while in the limelight of millions of viewers.

However, Dr. Phil himself, from what I've read, does have degrees in the pertinent fields, including a PhD in one particular field of psychology, IIRC. There is a definite sensationalist aspect to many of his shows, yes, but he usually strikes me as knowing his stuff fairly well.

and it seems to me that is or was trying to exploit her and only changed his mind because of the backlash.

[Magneto_X]

I can't believe he would exploit her like that... i can't believe Britney would even consider something like that...

Actually, I think he'd be good for her.

She needs *someone* to point out how screwed up she is and point her in a direction of professionals to help her.

Britney has none of that. In fact, she seems to be refusing to do anything to stop her self destructive behavior.

Well, to me, it largely comes down to what Britney's mother did or did not do. If Britney's mom asked Dr. Phil to get involved, then I don't fault him for trying to get involved. If he got involved with out any request from any of the Spears family, then yeah - he's exploiting the situation for his own gain.

In my opinion, Britney has, at this point, shown enough dangerous (to herself, to her children, and to others) and self-destructive behavior that I think that a good case can be made that she doesn't get to make the calls on her own treatment anymore - that she should perhaps get treatment whether she wants it or not.

and if he is using this situation to make a show about it with or without anyones permission that is exploiting the situation worse than anything Tmz does.

[Magneto_X]

True, but its clear she needs help.

No-one else seems to be in the picture to make Brit see how screwed up she is (Drew Pinski would be better alternative, IMO).

Of course, Brit is running away so Phil's still out of luck.

I agree with whoever said to bring in the authorities to put her in a hospital for her own good since Brit isn't interested in pursuing medial assistance on her own.

The only direction she's heading these days is the grave if something doesn't happen soon. :(

i wonder if Madonna would talk to her? thats her idol and maybe she would listen to her above anyone else.

[Magneto_X]

Well like i said you would have to have a court order to forcibly put her in a mental hospital.
i wonder if Madonna would talk to her? thats her idol and maybe she would listen to her above anyone else.

I don't think anyone could convince her to get help. From how she's been reacting to everyone who has tried from family to Dr.Phil she just runs off wih her fingers in her ears.

It would be great if Madonna could guide her but I don't see it doing any good then previous attempts.

The best we can hope for she'll do something bad, hopefully not involving the kids or any innocent bystanders, that the authorities will have no choice but to intervene.

It better happen soon. The way Brit's going she's not gonna survive '08. :(

He might have degrees in the fields, but he never really struck me as knowing his stuff. (I don't watch regularly though. But I've seen some of his stuff and some of his hyping of himself.) He may be better at psychological treatment than Jerry Springer and better at solving problems, but that's setting an awfully low bar.

And yeah, I agree that doing it on national tv makes it a lot tougher, but what's really bad is him playing to that audience at the expense of his victim/guest.

While Spears most definitely needs professional help, she doesn't need it from a hack, media whore like Doctor Phil.

I agree. For a while, I thought that most of Spears' most recent antics where just publicity stunts - but it's getting to the point, now, where this level and kind of publicity really isn't a good thing for her and her career, and she has serious mental problems.

I have heard one theory (perhaps someone mentioned it here on this thread) that she may be bi-polar. That strikes me as definitely possible. It fits a lot of the internal contradictions to a great deal of her behavior, in my mind, even stretching all the way back to the early portions of her career.

What we may have seen as simple irony might have been signs of a bi-polar disorder.

I have heard one theory (perhaps someone mentioned it here on this thread) that she may be bi-polar. That strikes me as definitely possible. It fits a lot of the internal contradictions to a great deal of her behavior, in my mind, even stretching all the way back to the early portions of her career.

What we may have seen as simple irony might have been signs of a bi-polar disorder.I always thought it was her record company exploiting the cultural divide (among other groups)

The press has a photo of Jamie Lynn Spears as she's taking a GED since the rich private school won't allow her back in due to a pregnacy. Nick canceled her TV Show as well adding to the freefall. She used an excuse to leave in November that she had a film to do but pretty knew they were gonna kick her out of the school.

You have to pity these 2. I know I do....and thats whats sad. They had the it all. Perhaps there is a lesson here about fame . Those who aren't mentally able to handle it at a young age...often enough end up paying for it.

Ohhh yeah she's basically fucked her career out the window. They put this 19 yearold teen boy around their daughter and bragged at how much he was trusted ect ect. They forgot at 19 ..that he basically is like all 19 yearolds around teen girls at that age. Wanting to get laid.

Anyhow you have to ...and don't laugh ok....but there is a guy who actually treats his teen daughter like a teenager. Its Hulk Hogan. Instead of saying "Hit a club , lets do some pot and party since we wanna be your friends...instead of parents."

The best thing I watched was when this 22 yearold came by to date 17 yearold Brooke. Hogan basically rode him and got him to admit some things. He revealed he had condoms in his wallet which Hogan got angry. He kicked him out. Brooke got pissed since she felt her dad over stepped.

But hell .... don't ya think Jamie Lynn wishes she had a Hulk Hogan to say "Ok get out . You aren't taking my daughter out."

Hogan is doing a better job as a parents then Brit and Jamie Lynn's parents but he's going overboard in the other direction.

It's fine to be protective of kids but teenagers will have sex whether parents are fine with it or not.

Hogan should be *glad* that Brooke's boyfriend had condoms if they were at that stage in their relationship. It would be worse if they were having sex but using *no* protection, IMO. It shows her daughter is being responsible.

[Paradox]

Did pariah-1972 just get off the boat?:

Paparazzi only go where there are lots of celebrities, so if you go somewhere where theres not a lot of celebrities you are going to be hard pressed to find paparazzi.
its pretty simple really.

Yeah, if YOU go somewhere there's not celebrities, you won't find a lot of paparazzi. But it's kind of inherent that if CELEBRITIES go where there usually aren't a lot of celebrities, there's STILL paparazzi. See, they actually seek out and follow celebrities. It's not like they're lucky and just happen to run into them because they're in LA. Britney could go to freaking Antarctica and there'd still be a crowd of cameras around her.

Magneto_X could make a better point:

He should also remember that young men carry condoms in their wallets. Have ever since they became readily available. Heck, the "nice guy virgins" are probably MORE likely to have one. And more likely for it to be expired. ;)

[JeffreyWKramer]

Well, to me, it largely comes down to what Britney's mother did or did not do. If Britney's mom asked Dr. Phil to get involved, then I don't fault him for trying to get involved. If he got involved with out any request from any of the Spears family, then yeah - he's exploiting the situation for his own gain.

I have a problem with Dr. Phil's continued existence.

He's a dipshit that deserves a quick fade back into obscurity.

[JeffreyWKramer]

I want to say a few words in defence of Dr. Phil, as I have at times been a fan of his show, and am a bit surprised by the level of hate that some here seem to possibly have for him.

It's quite concievable that Britney's mom did indeed call Dr. Phil, and asked him to step in and try to help. If so, I don't see where it's wrong for him to respond as he did to that request.

Now, if he wasn't contacted by anybody who's a very close relative of Britney Spears or by Britney Spears herself, then I myself would say that it would be very wrong of him to just barge on in to a hospital and try to insert himself into her situation.

However, if her mother called Dr. Phil, then I'm actually inclined to commend him for risking to get involved in a highly explosive, already well off the rails, situation, in the hopes of helping someone out.

Some may say that only Britney Spears herself, since she is an adult herself, should have the right to get particular psychiatrists/psychologists involved, but quite frankly... Britney is getting to the point where I think you can argue that she's of such unsound mind that somebody should be given a level of unquestioned treatment authority over her - and next of kin (i.e. her mother, perhaps), makes some sense to me personally as being such a potential unquestioned authority.

Now, I'm not entirely comfortable myself with the Dr. Phil nationalized televised set-up - I've always been somewhat doubting of the idea that people can truly get productive help for serious problems while in the limelight of millions of viewers.

However, Dr. Phil himself, from what I've read, does have degrees in the pertinent fields, including a PhD in one particular field of psychology, IIRC. There is a definite sensationalist aspect to many of his shows, yes, but he usually strikes me as knowing his stuff fairly well.


As someone that works as a psychotherapist and who knows a fair bit about psychology and related disciplines, I can tell you that Dr. Phil doesn't know his stuff nearly as well as he pretends is the case. He's made factual errors in statements about a variety of topics, including effectiveness of treatment for sexual offenders, efficacy of treatment for sexual abuse survivors and what works and doesn't work in couple therapy, and his demonstrated understanding of things like cognitive-behavioral therapy suggests that he hasn't kept up with the field since at least the time he got his degree.

Everything I've ever seen from the guy and his writings tells me he's a therapist of fairly average-to-slightly-below-average knowledge and skill that has become famous for no good reason.

[Paradox]

JeffreyWKramer misses the connection:

They weren't bf/gf. They had chatted on the phone and that was their 1st date. Hogan already had issues that the boy was 5 years older and 22....as he would ask.. "Do you feel right dating a 17 yearold being 22 ?"

I believe there was something else that made Hulk nix his relationship and all. I'm trying to remember if it was either the guy hadn't been practicing safe sex and had 5-10 girls he had slept with or I think he told Hulk he had dated a 16 yearold. It was something...that sent Hulkamania's warning bells off.

Are you serious? This is Hollywood, if Paris Hilton can star in a movie JLS will have no problem getting work even with a kid if she wants to continue in the show/movie business. I mean I heard her last show had over 7 million people watching it which is double what it normally averages.



Hogan is doing a better job as a parents then Brit and Jamie Lynn's parents but he's going overboard in the other direction.
Hogan lets his son get drunk and even provides him with the alcohol and allows him to race his car(even when he had all those other speeding tickets) while under the influence which caused that accident that nearly got his son's friend killed.

Meanwhile Brit has been making all her stupid decisions as a grown-ass woman whom her parents have no control over and their 16 year daughter got pregnant.

I don't see Brit's parents being better then Hogan but I also don't see being better then Brit's parents either. Just because Hogan is overprotected over his hot daughter doesn't make him a good parent. They all shitty parents.

In sick twisted news ...the tabliods have already its said weeks ago printed up an obit to turn just in case it happens. Read that on Yahoo...

Actually it was an Associated Press obit that became "news" weeks ago. This is common practice amongst news organizations. The death of a celebrity is news and because such deaths can happen suddenly and unexpectedly - look at Heath Ledger - news organization typically have obits for any number of well known personages prepared, ready to plug in the most recent details should their use become necessary.

The fact that such obits for Britney exist ever became "news" is due solely to the fact that her death some time in the not-too-distant future seems all to probable.

Me, I predict she'll beat the odds and live to be tabloid fodder long after any memory of what made her famous in the first place has slipped the public consciousness.

Britney's mom has long since failed as mother of the year. She pretty much led her daughters into this whole world of not being responsible adults.
I'm no Britney Spears fan but isn't it funny how its the mother who gets all the blame while the father always gets overlook? You would think he was father of the year.

I also think its funny how everything Britney does is not only her fault but her mother's fault as well. I mean last I look parents lose legal authority over their children at age 18 and Britney is how old now now?

And was how old when she started going crazy?

Granted, I don't keep track on what this woman(yes woman not little girl) does but I always laugh when Internet people blame Brit's mother all the time because she didn't raise her right when in fact those same people have no clue how Britney's parents raised her at all.

That's ironic, because, usually in custody cases, the law leans in the mother's favor. Ask a lot of divorced men...

Offhand, I'm going to guess that it wasn't her father's idea for Britney to dress up in slutty outfits and act like a stripper. Most fathers are kind of weirded out by the idea of their daughters having sex.

Except Jessica Simpson's dad.

FOR THE LOVE OF G-D STOP TALKING ABOUT HER TITTIES!

I don't, not interested in celebrity bimboes.

Is this in response to my post? If it is what did it have to do with anything I said?

So because it might not have been her father's idea it automatically means it was her mother's idea right?

I mean are you saying that Brit's mother told her to dress up like a slut and act like a stripper? As far I a know Brit's mom was never her manager or agent like other female celeb mothers. Britney has been dressing up like a slut since before she was 18, why didn't her father do anything then?

Could it be that both her parents did a crappy job of raising her or could it be that maybe she was a slut to begin with no matter what her parents did? Or could it be something else? I don't know and try not to pretend I do.

What I'm saying is that, usually where women succeed even in obvious cases of abuse/drugs, she's losing just due to media coverage and taking a LOT of heat, even when she claims to be caring for them.

In any case, she needs mental help.

We do know that Britney's mother indulged her daughter's desire to become a teen popstar, even though sometimes you shouldn't indulge your kids' dreams, or even pushed her into it.

We can surmise that she didn't do a very good job of preparing her daughter for the lifestyle.

From what little I've read when she's spoken to the media, she's shown a unsurprising lack of judgment.

Brit's father isn't father of the year or anything either, but he seems to have been a non-presence rather than actively helping her on this path. And he's given fewer soundbites of his poor fathering.

I think you might have misunderstood a part of my post. When I said this:

I'm talking about Britney's parents, not her and whatever his name is.

I didn't know this and how do you know this? I'm being serious too and not trying to act like a jerk.

If that's true and I mean if, how do you exactly prepare your kid for a celebrity life when you yourself aren't even a celeb? I not trying to defend Britney's mother but preparing your kid for a normal life is one thing, preparing them for a Hollywood life is another thing.

Brit or her mom?

If this is true this would make him worse then Britney's mother imo.

Never mind.

Figuratively or Literality? Or both?

[Deathstroke]

No. No thank you.

Blonds do nothing for me and stupidity, even faked, is a turn off.

Brit was famous before she was a pop star. She was on the Mickey Mouse Club IIRC.

Her mother was heavily involved even back then in her show biz career.

Her mother was heavily involved even back then in her show biz career.Of course she was. It's not like Michael Eisner drove around kidnapping children and forcing them to be Mousketeers. Her mother was running her career for years.

The company best known for releasing the "Korn Gave Head to God" shirt has come up with another one. It's based on the cover to Iron Maiden's album Piece of Mind.

Maybe they're saying her name is Britney Bitch?

[howyadoin]

Maybe they're saying her name is Britney Bitch?Makes me wonder about all those "I'm the Juggernaut Bitch" people, then.

haha! LOL!

I know, you don't respect people who type that, but it's what I did upon reading your post! :)

Yesterday? This thread grows faster than Rita's. I'm not supposed to follow yesterday's posts. ;)

The problem i have with her mother is trying to exploit her by releasing a book and pushing/helping a little girl into stardom with little obvious talent and then ignoring her daughters tendency towards stripper like tendencies even before she was legal.

i know that if i saw my daughter doing half the stuff she has done i would rip her blonde head off, but instead they spoiled her and encouraged her because she was making them money.

i'm not sure how much the father was knowledgeable about this since we just found out he had a drinking problem but he is just as responsible too.

her parents right now seem more concerned about her money than her mental issues.
