Was Britney on Diff'rent Strokes?

The mess that is Britney Spears. Sure, it's trite. But is she talented, a victim, exploited, lucky, shallow, deserving? And how bad is it to so closely monitor the seeming dissolution of this particular human being and mother of two?

This is where someone inserts a "News at 11" joke. Oh wait, I just did.

Who's watching her kids?

It's very bad, and not what I come to Metafilter to read about. Thanks

Oh, dear, not 3, but 4 TMZ links, in a bloggy-overtoned post.

RUN, NEVERCALM! RUN LIKE THE WIND - aw, who am I kidding? You'll never outrun the fireball!

I guess she's trying to make sure the carpet matches the drapes, or lack thereof. so to speak. as it were.

(and this serves the same function as all other celebrity gossip: we can look at this and say 'yeah, I'm fucked up, but I'm not that fucked up.' )

As someone who works in the entertainment industry and sees how the paparazzi and industry noise machine works, this is actually genuinely interesting to me....I'm hoping to query the hive mind as to what they think the deal is here...is this just another flake going to pieces, is she just a product going thru the inevitable motions, or someone who wasn't up to it?

Yeah, they're TMZ links. But what else would you link to? NYTimes? Washpost?

PEOPLE confirms that Brit was at Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab facility in Antigua.

Crossroads was also the title of Britney's attempt at movie stardom. Coincidence? I think not!
