i think justing needs to scoop her up and be her baby daddy

that's pretty depressing

well it's coming from an honest place don't you think? i'm really looking forward to seeing the special since you get to see what brit's really thinking about for what's gone on in her life.

Well I'm glad that she is finally taking some time to think about her actions and their consequences. Hopefully she will learn and grow from those situations. I think that Britney is wrong, though - she started going downhill after Justin not Kevin. It just wasn't obvious at the time because the paparazzi weren't as rampant back then. I mean, she started smoking and drinking heavily, she reportedly cheated on Justin with dancer Wade Robson (although that has never been 100% confirmed - but Justin's "Cry Me a River" video is awfully telling); then she dated Columbus Short, another dancer who was married to another woman during their relationship; then she had that two day marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Alexander; she hooked up with Kevin (who was still in a relationship, had a child and another one on the way but didn't tell Britney about Shar until later), and then she proposed after less than two months of dating. I think everyone knows the rest...I don't think Britney is totally to blame, because it takes two to tango, but she obviously needed serious help a long time ago but I think people just pushed her to continue her career and that led to her breakdown. I truly hope she is better and won't go back to her hard partying ways once her conservatorship ends.

The quote that kinda bothered me was when she said that she built a dream house and had a family, but she still needed more and that Kevin had his own career. Well, I can understand that it must be terrible for Kevin to be away all the time, but I can see also see his side of the story because everyone was saying how he was just living off Britney's money and that he needed to contribute.

That's the first time I recall seeing her take at least some of the blame for the situation she put herself in. But these revelations might seem more sincere if they weren't so perfectly timed to promote her upcoming album.

On the other hand, I don't think wanted to break up with Kevin and filed the divorce papers as a stunt to grab his attention, which backfired on her when he didn't beg to come back and just moved his stuff out. Still wouldn't surprise me if those two got back together.

Okay wow. I am a HUGE Britney supporter. I defend her all the time. I have been pulling for her because her story tugs at my heart strings. When I read this, I read the first two questions and thought that it was just well spoken, showed what she was going through, where she was coming from. She took responsibility and didn't blame. I thought, "That's what I was waiting to see. She is not what everyone has been saying."

Then I read the 3rd question. Oh My God.

"I used to be a cool chick but I feel like the paparazzi has taken that away from me, like, the way I used to live my life. I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore."

I can only hope that she is talking about the time before her ill fated 52 hour mariage, because that's when the crazy stuff and all of these troubles for her began. That's when even I'M sure she was using drugs and drinking too much. Because if that behavior is what she thinks makes a "cool chick" then I very well may be supporting the wrong celebrity.

I can understand that it must be terrible for Kevin to be away all the time, but I can see also see his side of the story because everyone was saying how he was just living off Britney's money and that he needed to contribute.

Exactly. If you recall the Matt Lauer interview a few months before she filed for divorce, she addressed that. She said she was very proud of him for working on his music and that he wanted to be able to provide for his family somewhat. She was in full support at that time. But there were reports of her being upset when he had to go out and promote the album because he wasn't at her beck and call 24/7, which her quotes above seems to support.

Ooo... correction on my post #5.

That second paragraph should say, "On the other hand, I don't think SHE wanted to break up with Kevin..."

But I'm on my way out, so I'll stop posting on this now....

This is what happens when you grow up with a stage mother and you're programmed like a robot to be a star, you rebel. The whole fake virginal/slutty thing she had to project was just an image. And now her current image is to pity her self and beg everyone for sympathy and get people to feel sorry for her to sell records. None of it is ever based on talent. I wish artists with talent would get attention and those with bad behavior or who are all iamge getting rewarded.

This is really sad, to have so much, but really have nothing at all. I may actually watch the documentary, I wasn't planning to.

Ginger, I agree with you too. I also think that she didn't really want to break up with Kevin. She didn't think her divorce all the way through, just like she didn't seem to understand what she was getting it into when she got married. She seems to treat marriage lightly, based on her reasoning for entering her two previous short-lived marriages. And I also agree that she was displeased that he wasn't at her "beck and call." It makes it sound like she wanted to have the fame and she needed him to be by her side the whole time. And from what I remember, she visited him a LOT in the studio when he was recording his rap album and she often went to see his performances, even when she was heavily pregnant.

I think it's easy to forget famous people like Britney are real people with real emotions. I feel bad for her. Money and fame don't buy you freedom.

I'm not convinced she's out of her "dark times" yet. kinda soon to be saying this stuff, huh? it wasn't so long ago..

Being honest with yourself is half the battle so she's well on her way. Good for her.

I lost interest in her a long time ago, Im just glad to see she is ok now

Interesting...poor little rich girl!

Stay in the light,Britney......

awwww. i kind of feel for her for the first time, in a long time.

On Justin and Kevin: "With Justin, he was a part of the magnitude of what I had become. So when he was gone I was like, What am I supposed to do with myself?

I'm just surprised that she used magnitude in a sentence!

well, at least she owns her own sh*t.

Wow this is so sad.

I am surprised she said she was more hurt by Kevin than Justin. I think she was more hurt by Justin. I am glad that she is finally talking about everything. I am rooting for Britney.

I feel sorry for this girl. I think she was too young and too famous and her parents should have offered more guidance/support. Her mother sounds like a flake. If you are going to allow your kid into showbiz then at least be there for them. She has been taken advantage of and no surprise that she had a break down. I am not a fan of her or her music, but she is only human so I feel compassion for her.

I don't care if this is a publicity stunt or whatever. I really do feel for this girl. I could never have the life she has, you couldn't make me trade lives with her. I would go crazy and do the things she did if I was under so much pressure. I bet it took a lot for her to come out and say these things.

I'm glad that she's telling everyone about what she went through - it seems pretty interesting.

I feel sorry for her, too. Life can be rough.

She's not a cool chick anymore because of her own choices, not just during her breakdown last year but because of all the other years and choices before that.

I am so glad her Daddy stepped up to the plate.I think if it had been up to him in the first place her world would have been different Lynne got caught up in the glamour and Brittany had to much freedom.She is just a little girl lost and lonely looking to make herself feel better!She needs to start from within!!

i feel sad because she only says this to promote her album!

im excited to watch this

SO basically she blames it all on her lonelines? oh c'mon now half of the people in the world are lonely but that doesnt make them to wonder WHAT THEY SHOULD DO WITH THEM SELVES!

krae85, I agree that she's not out of the woods yet, now she just sounds depressed rather than manic. Her story really is fascinating whether you like her or not, and creating a marketable virgin/ slut persona for a young girl is really heartbreaking. I'm sure her mother loves those girls very much, but I just can't comprehend allowing her to be passed off to a record industry and told to wear a schoolgirl uniform. I wonder about Disney's ethics sometimes, churning out these tween powerhouses that always fall apart. I feel like there should be a counseling requirement to help the kids adjust, and maybe a schooling requirement so when they blow all their new money on handbags and hotels they can fall back on their education. It just makes me sad, as a girl, even though I don't know her.

Hmm, she sounds like the majority of teenagers to me. Get out of the biz. Go get some education and broaden your mind. And no, the paparazzi did not take away your coolness.

My heart goes out to her. We all go through really dark places in our lives and she had to go through hers in the public eye. I'm just as fascinated by celebrities and their personal lives as much as the next person, but there's a huge difference between one or two paparazzi snapping pictures of you walking your dog... and fifty swarming you everywhere you go. How can she even breathe?! That would make me feel trapped, exposed and even more lonely. I don't envy her life at all.

Again, I don't really care much about her personal life. I only like her videos and music (in that order), but now the videos suck and the music-though good (except Womanizer)- has nothing to do with her.
I wish she had that creative energy and passion for making her art that drives so many other artists...and keeps them focused.
I don't trust her to always create, and that's why I don't believe in this comeback.
Maybe she's just a much more successful Jessica Simpson, all style and money-grubbing and fame-seeking than an actual musician.
Or maybe she was that creature, and is finally learning the true path to happiness, and the true value of fame:::limitless opportunities to get your music, message and vision out to the world.
Well, I'll keep some optimism for the future, including hers.

I played a youtube video for my bf the other day of her just walking out of grocery store or something (maybe a Starbucks) and there was like 74 photographers screaming and yelling questions at her and telling "normal" people to get the "f" out of the way.

As soon as it ended, he said, "there is no way you could live like that. that poor girl didnt have a chance."

When she says the paps made her uncool, she means that she used to be able to be cool about everything and be able to do everyday things and live a happy life without being bombarded by them. But they have in fact taken that away from her. That ability- its pretty clear.

Brian, I hope that's what she means.

I thought it was a great interview, very honest... very heartbreaking though.

I watched the snippets of her interview on Youtube... I feel like either she's not answering completely, or she doesn't understand the question, or she's just repeating what her handlers told her to say. Maybe it's just me.

Once she finishes obsessing on how much her poor choices have messed up her own life, I hope she will start to think about how much she hurt her parents, siblings, husband, children. Not to mention the friends and fans who care about her.

hollywood can be brutal, but i'm glad she's on the right track now.

that sounds rough

you are all pathetic for truly criticizing a person you clearly know nothing about.you all need to take a reality check and get a f*cking life.BRITNEY SPEARS ROCKS

do i feel bad for her? sure. but she cannot blame everything on other people. she is 27 years old and acts like a sad, impressionable high school freshman. she needs to take care of her mental health and her children - that's it. not put out another album, do interviews...it's way too soon.

i love the part where she talks about why she didn't go to Louisiana. she never really answered the question, and truth is SHE SHOULD HAVE. she should be there right now. she is far too focused on her 'career', she needs to take a long, serious break. for her children's sake more than anything.
