She looks like she needs a nap!

This is some sad stuff. I can't believe she lost her mind in one year. Hopefully next year, Britney will gain some common sense and start to heal herself..but I have doubts that will happen

brit brit go see a dermatologist and hair professional

I don't blame the mother so much in Britney's case, she seems like she was'nt strict enough, but otherwise comes across as a decent, caring and relatively sensible mother.

someone really needs to talk her out off into keeping those extension and those boots. they're hideous! i mean why insist on putting those extensions on - it looks filthy!

Horrid, Why dye whatever little hair u have! She needs to be admitted or go visit julia on her ranch.

her mom is just speaking in a typical motherly way - she's owing up to her child's mistakes, as any mother like her should feel, but Britney got into this mess purely by herself. she's an adult when she got into it. no one should be blamed in all of this but her. she's got several chances to fix her life, given several opportunities but she blew it one after the another. so what happens to her life is entirely her doing and no one else's.

she's not even entertaining anymore.

pegs, im sure Julia said those without actual intent on having Britney in her ranch, i mean seriously, does she really want a train wreck trash like that near her kids?

Damn she looked a lot better a year ago! I think that whole divorce thing exploded in Britney's face. I don't think she really wanted the divorce. Look at how much she's gone downhill since then!

I like her outfit, but I can't understand why she will not see a hairsylist!

I do blame her mother. I think Britney was pushed into the limelight at a young age without a *good* family to support her. She has never had anyone around her that really cared about her. No one showed her how to be a woman or a mother. All she knows is entertaining. That's why she courts the paps. It's all she knows. In her mind, if they're not around she's nothing.

she looks like a crackhead deprived of the drug

She was 15 by the time she was famous. She was working before then off and on, but so were a million other kids that have turned out fine. I think her mother probably spoiled her a little bit, but other than that it seems like Lynne was a fine mother. Watch the "Behind the Music" or "Driven" on Britney...they all point to the fact that she was determined to be a star, and to sexualize her own image. Right off the bat she was the one that suggested the school girl outfit for her first video...

Britney is a GROWN WOMAN and a MOTHER and there is simply no excuse for her behavior. I know victims of out right child abuse that became better parents than Britney Spears. You can't put all the blame on how you were raised.

wow!she actually looks decent for once (from the neck down that is!)

All I have left to say is, does she really need another chandelier? Her priorities are way messed up.

deep down I'm hoping that this past year has all been a big ruse and soon Britney will do a 180 and be pimping anti-depressants for some pharmaceutical Co. for big $$$$$$$$$$.

Sadly I don't think that's the case.

rouse? sorry, I should have spell checked to see if that was right before I posted.

at least now we know why she is the way she is!

She looks awful...but hey, what's new.

Again, NOT complying with the drug testing!

Her mom also said this started way before Kevin and the babies.

I don't understand why she keeps putting in the bad extenstions - her hair must be about 3-4 inches long by now

Yeah, her first "husband" said that they did a bunch of coke the whole time they were in Vegas

If you hear the stories from when she was a young girl, they all say she was very polite and nice.

I think the thing is, that after a teen gets to be making a certain amount of money, it is very hard for parents to keep their children from being spoiled. Even if the mom says, "No drinking until you are 21" etc., there will always been hangers on that will help the teen violate the rules their parents set out.

I think she is just spoiled to an extreme.

I think it started with her parents divorce. I think that really hurt her. Her destruction was definitely before Kevin. Right around the time of her first rediculous marriage. She's been out of control for YEARS. If she doesn't get help she will self destruct! When you abuse drugs it only gets worse as time goes on she really needs help!

Wow she looks horrible. Train Wreck on asile Briteny please call for clean up!

I don't mind her outfit - but i think someone is going to have to surgically remove those boots

When she filed for divorce a lot of people were thinking, "Finally, she's waking up and she'll get herself together!" Ha! Who would have ever thought that anyone - let alone a court of law - would ever see Kevin Federline as the better parent? Unbelievable.

I wonder just how many more "wake up calls" Britney is going to get before she figures out that she DOES have REAL issues and other problems? She's had a year of constant slaps in the face and she still just has no clue and no desire to get any help or change her life in any way...

Britney, for all her money, is the very definition of a LOSER.

I think you can guide your children only so far and then it's up to them to make good decisions. Britney has been an adult for awhile, and she is quite capable of ending the circus if she wants to. I don't think her mother should take all the blame. From what I saw, she had (has?) a loving and supportive family.

sigh she's gone past caring.
and she looks like crap here.
doesn't she care how she looks in public anymore?

Apparently, no amount of money, make-up or clothes can make her look better - she is a mess. Her mom may look back with regret, but it would still be up to Britany to help herself, and that is never going to happen.

After all the court reports, testing, and temporary revisions to custody, eventually the judge is going to need to make a long-term custody ruling, and at this rate, Britney probably won't have more than small supervised visits.

It's too bad the kids have to go through so much upheaval before they can settle into a stable environment.

Train Wreck!

she is aging badly, is stupid, untalented and unattractive. the media would do her a service by ignoring her, then she might get the help she needs. changing hotels, getting her nails done, and changing her hair color daily is not how an adult solves their problems.

The girl has access to the most talented hairstylists in the country, and her hair looks like that? Go to Ken Paves, Oribe or anyone and get the extensions put in properly! I think there's a chance they could look good if she went to someplace other than Supercuts and if she had a shorter style. She looks OK with a bob.

And while acne can be a difficult thing to manage, there are products out there that effectively conceal the redness and soak up the greasiness.

It shouldn't bother me how she looks, since it's her life and she can do what she wants, but I get the feeling she purposely dresses like a hobo and looks bad in order to get attention.

On the other hand, I do believe that the acne comes from her horrid diet. You are what you eat.

I feel for Britney, used to be normal before getting married to that whatshis name, FEDEX...looser.....

From the Hollywood story of Britney I've seen on tv, it seems her mom was very supportive of her , and after 2 hit albums, Britney still remained a polite, down-to-earth, and sensible person. I don't think Lynn Spears has to blame herself on bad parenting for Britney's downfall. Britney as an adult is responsible for her choices and parents do not have so much authority after their children hit adulthood. It takes a whole village to raise a kid!

worst fear of a mother!came true

It's not Kevin's fault. She was doing drugs and had a 72 hour marriage before she even met Kevin.

This story is so damn sad....
Lynn speaks like every mother in the world but it's not her fault... Her daughter is simply desperatly in love with a jerk and is now totally depressed.
I know how hard it is... I've been through that last year... Doing some crazy things, party all night and drink to much champagne, crying all day long.... Nobody can judge Britney. You have to live it to understand it!

I feel so sorry for Lynne and Britney! I am a mother and I know what her words mean, she must be devastated! Unfortunately, for Brit the time for upbringing has passed away long long ago! She wouldn't follow anyone's advices any more - that is one of her worst mistakes! Only some crucial change/event could make her start using again the round thing above her shoulders!

Of course, It is not Kevin' fault. If she was a wise girl, she would never stop her eyes on him for more than 1 min! Her young years of fame and the absence of strict parental control are probably the thing to blame the most! Yet nevertheless, kids are so very different and there's no exact formula for growing a GOOD girl!

I agree, but you know sometimes love is blind.

This is really really sad. It's hard for a mother to accept that she totally screwed up, even when trying to do the best she could.

It's so weird thinking how things have changed in a year. Last year, we were all so excited to see her show Kevin the door, and we had up the avatars of the old Britney...how things have changed! She looks so much better in the photo from the link a year ago then she does in today's!

wow, she is such a mess

It's got to be painful for her to watch from a distance as her daughter destroys her life and maybe the lives of her grandkids. I think Britney is a textbook megalomaniac who lives in her own little world where it's just all ego and desire and nothing real. It's hard to believe that Kevin turned out to be the "normal" one. Maybe Britney has always been a mess (if her reality show is any indication) and the public was just sheltered from it by her managers and handlers long since fired.

P.S. And how has she managed to ruin her looks so quickly? She's morphed into barely average looking.

yea yea Lynn enjoyed Brits money for years (theres nothing wrong with that) however within those years she forgot to raise her daughter and let everyone else do it - now she has a trainwreck for a daughter!

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda! - But ya didnt! - So go cry yourself a river.

my heart goes out lynee...i cant not imagined my child going through that. but what can u do?...shes a grown ..brit is aware of what is going on..and she knows what she is doing. only God can save her..not her parents.
