Britney was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in early 2008, after loosing custody of her children. Before the court hearing, Britney collapsed at a local nightclub. A friend was able to add some comments on it:
Britney is terrified of this, which is why she is always late or doesn't show," the source said. "She totally loses it, and with the depo and the media circus yesterday, she just couldn't handle it," the source added, referring to Spears' deposition in her custody battle on Thursday.
Today, although Britney is trying to make a comeback, we have to ask ourselves: who is to blame? Is it her pushy mother that forced her into show business at such an early age? Was it Justin who left her with the song “Cry Me a River?” Or was it us, the media as a whole, who feeds of the lived of the rich and famous. Millions of copies are sold of Us Weekly, Star, People, and Inside Magazine. The cross between famous and ‘normal’ has lessened over the years as reality TV was introduced, and the fact that being a sluty heiress lands you a shot at fame. Thirty years ago, it took some talent to be famous. Now, all it takes is a lot of money and a crazy attitude. Some would say Britney Spears was a talented young singer, but now she is nothing better than Paris Hilton. If our media is constantly demanding more trash, more rich scum. That is what the starts are going to give us.
Britney Spears turned from pop princess into a natural disaster. People say its like a car accident, you just can’t look away. We are the ones to blame. Every magazine that tells young girls they have to look like a Barbie, and (according to Cosmopolitan Magazine) learn how to please their man. The pressure for women growing up in our culture is stronger that a hurricane. Eating disorders, depression, and suicide with young teenage girls have gone up tremendously over the past decade. What does this have to do with Britney? She is a refection of our youth culture, and what it is becoming. You don’t have to have talent or brains to strive in the media’s eyes, just get rich, skinny, and flash a bunch of photographers on your way to a nightclub. This is the message we are sending our future leaders of America. So now ask yourself this: would you want Britney running your country?
