Britney Spears: On the Mend?

Do you have an opinion on the Princess of Pop?

Last year was quite the year in Britney Spear’s life. Love her or hate her you can’t deny that you were intrigued…or disgusted…as she went further and further into the crazy tunnel. It’s a sad day in America when a twenty-something woman shaves her head and it leads the news everywhere!

There are a couple of celebrity sites that I click on during my internet surfing, some of you might be reading them as well: TMZ and X17online. During the height of Britney’s nonsense it was hard to pull up these gossip sites without seeing hour by hour updates on Britney’s location, who she was with, if she was driving on the right side of the road…it was nuts! At any given minute there was a pack of twenty or so cameramen on her tail, from morning until night. That would be enough to drive anyone bonkers, never mind a celebrity falling from grace.

I’m not sure what moment of hers was the most shocking – when she shaved her head, when she lost custody, the horrible performance at the MTV award show, when the police were called to her house and she was strapped to a gurney and taken away. Sometimes I felt like a giddy gossip-hound as I logged onto my computer to see what level of bizarre she had reached – other times I just felt bad, and wondered how long her family would watch the decline before stepping in. I was waiting for someone to tell her “no!”, but it never happened.

Her family did intervene, this past spring, and it seems like good things are starting to happen for her again. She’s getting in shape, she has more time with her sons, and she seems to be working on music again. I’m pretty sure the pack of cameramen is still around her, but she gives them much less to work with now. I know a lot of people have an opinion on Britney Spears, but I, for one, hope she finds her way back to her career. How do you feel about Britney? Are you over her antics, or hoping she can change for good?

There’s a rumor that she’ll be appearing at the MTV awards again this year; if she does perform I have my fingers crossed for her!
