Britney Spears’ label Jive Records issued a press release stating their support for Britney during her personal troubles. Here’s what they said, as reported by Us Magazine:
“Jive is enormously excited about Britney’s new album, and we’re confident that it will secure her reputation as one of the great recording artists of her time. As Britney’s label, it’s not our place to comment on her personal issues, but we do care about her and support her. There’s no question that when performers attain the level of celebrity that Britney has, they tend to be treated by the press and public as if they were cartoon or soap-opera characters, and we forget that they’re actually human beings. People say that’s the trade-off you make for success in the entertainment industry – that if you want to make it big, you have to surrender your privacy or the ability to lead a normal life. But sometimes you make that bargain before you realize what it entails. Britney’s a grown woman who makes her own choices, and we respect that. But she faces challenges that most of us can’t really imagine.”
So screw your family, all that matters is being rich and famous. I’m reading you loud and clear, Jive. Go capitalism! Poor Benjamin Franklin must be rolling in his grave right now. He’s also probably thinking to himself: “What’s all this tomfoolery about that fine, young tart’s increased plumpness? I’d frolic her bottom end henceforth in a jovial fashion for an entire fortnight!” You didn’t know Franklin was a chubby chaser? I’m actually not making this one up. So maybe one time I said Abe Lincoln punched a Martian. No one’s been able to prove that he didn’t, so I stand by my theory. But the Ben Franklin and fat chicks thing; totally true. See, I can be educational.
Thanks for the laugh. “She faces challenges that most of us can’t really imagine.” Like, “I was totally at Starbucks yesterday, too, and the day before that, and I don’t really want the same thing, what should I order?” Along those lines? ‘Cause, like me for instance, “challenges” like paying the mortgage, getting to work on time, feeding the kids on a budget, finishing off that project at 2:00 am because I had to leave work early to get the little one to Pony League practice – these types of things really do pale next to the great Starbucks dilemma and that difficult, difficult choice of which trashy boots to wear with the tacky minidress.
Normally my posts are pretty lighthearted, cruel and celeb hating but lighthearted. This isn’t my usual tone for the superficial but nevertheless I am going to say what I want to say and if people make fun of it that’s there problem not mine.
“But she[britney] faces challenges that most of us can’t really imagine.” What a bunch of fucking bullshit
I suggested this little brat go live in Africa or spend a few hours or days at a childrens hospital. There are so many people out there who struggle with challenges this horrible spoilt little bitch could never imagine. FUCK YOU BRITNEY and fuck her sick slimy money hungry label. She is healthy, out of shape but, she doesn’t have cancer, she has too children of her own and she has the kind of money to never have to struggle to feed her kids like so many parents do.
There are little infants hooked up to machines and children who can’t go home and spend all summer, all year in a hospital bed, children all over the world who really know what it is to be starving, there are families who have lost their loved ones in war, there are people that don’t have a home, people who have seen their entire families murdered, there are people today who will find out they are dying, there are woman who want children more than anything but can’t have them, there are people who risk their lives everyday and will die saving a strangers life, there are kids who have to live with the memory of watching their classmates being shot to death and the list goes on and on.
This world is full of tragedy and Britney Spears and her selfish little saga is no fucking tragedy.
So many people go through so much pain but they live their life with dignity they don’t waste or throw away chances. Do you know how many people would love to have what this little brat takes for granted. It’s absolutely disgusting to see people pity this ridiculous human being. She is a nightmare and it’s people like her that are realy ruining the world.
My beaytiful wife always took care of herself she was always slim and in fantastic shape. She’s the same age as Britney we don’t really have two cents to rub together and she has to spend three days a week in hospital, she’s seriously ill and there is nothing she can or could have done to change it. We just found out she can’t have children of her own and her future is a big question mark. She’s incredible, she never feels sorry for herself. The only times I see her cry is when she sees sad stories on the news, the day we realized we could no longer afford to sponsor a child in Africa and when she came home from having tests at the childrens hospital because she can’t bear to see all those kids suffering. My wife would gladly lie down her life to give all those children their health back or to change the world for the better. Her biggest fear is that she will never be able to make a difference. She’s to sick to volunteer and we don’t have enough money to donate any and all she wants is to be healthy enough to give back and make a difference.
Britney could learn a lot from someone like my wife. It’s really sad to see the media waste ink and film on someone so useless and selfish.
The lesson is LIFE DOESN’T OWE YOU A FUCKING THING. Get over yourself ,quit feeling sorry for yourself and go make a fucking contribution to society instead of constantly taking. It’s pittiful to see someone waste and destroy their life.
pardon my spelling.
“and we’re confident that it will secure her reputation as one of the great recording artists of her time.”
GIVE ME A BREAK! What are these maroons at Jive records smoking?
Seems as if their sense of hearing has been destroyed by the amount of coke they have snorted and smoked up into their olafactory system!
Poor losers!
Britney has become the biggest FRAUD of her generation. And any person that spends a plug nickel buying her music should be taken out behind the wood shed and have some sense beaten into their pathetic fried brains.
#52, thanks for crying me.
#55. No problem River. It’s really hard having a heart and a brain but being a river you wouldn’t know what I’m taking about. It must be difficult to not even be able to shed a tear yourself. What a miserable shallow life you must lead.
No offense, but are you ever going to shut up?
Why would I when it is annoying you so much.
Hmmmm I see so being an average or good mother to your kids is less important than being a washed up celebrity fuck up at 25?
Good enough. Just let me know when you’re going to go to all-caps again. Those are the important parts, right?
Yep I like to help the retards out. life is so hard for them as it is.
correction:
LIFE IS HARD.
Actually variation in case makes written passages easier to follow visually.
Mrs. Whitmore?
(Wait no that old bag was never married).
Miss. Whitmore?
Her record label is just trying to keep their Cash Cow happy. If she kills herself now, how will they get any PR like this again. I still can’t believe that the major 24-hour news stations actually give us stories about her. I understand the Entertainment Shows, but nothing about her is legitimate news. Oh well, it just shows you that everyone really does slow down to watch a train wreck.
LL, I love your post! (#35) Wonderfully said!
(And I, too, enjoyed a good chuckle at the Fish’s “history lesson” regarding Ben Franklin’s likely opinion of Brit.)
And WFT is up with you two, River & I Hate Celebrities….? This isn’t a forum for you to panty-whip each other! Just comment on the damn story and leave it at that! *geesh*
keller1974, please, wipe off the anal lube and pull up your pants. That’s very undignified.
You keeps sayin’ you’re hardcore in your songs and actions, but the only way to prove it is to do PORN Brit.
I’m curious about this so a good answer is appreciated. What does it mean to have a hit single at #3 anyway? Who’s buying 45s and cassingles these days? Isn’t the sales product an album and it has to be out to make any money?
I don’t know how money is earned from just having a lot of airplay. Do stations have to pay the performers if a song is on the radio much? I guess that’s what BMI is for, but I don’t know the specifics.
It’s a long way of saying who gives a shit if she’s at #3 on the charts. Thanks for the help.
#68 – digital downloads. Song by song, or a full album. No offense, but by any chance is your VCR always blinking “12:00″?
It’s actually a betamax. Yeah, I know I’m behind the times. Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t think about the downloads.
#52: Blah, blah, blah-blah-blah. You have a wife? I thought you were homosexual, what with as many sniffling paragraphs as you posted. Yes, your wife! Learn, Britney!
@65: Oh but you’re wrong! It is a forum for River & I Hate Celebrities to panty-whip each other! That’s exactly what it’s for! Panty whipping is good; almost as good as trolling!
Yeah, and being a decent mother and not a drug addict- for chumps too.
who writes this shit? whoever it is is wack! get a life…
The problem with celebrities is they’re given everything, so when it starts to unravel, in their world, that is a disaster. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out a lot of these kid celebrities get pushed into a world they’re not ready to handle. Spears got pushed into it all years ago by her parents, she went from a disney kid to a pop star who had a mother who basically prostituted her to the record label, mtv and the world. So she finally snapped and went batshit crazy and now it’s like watching a trainwreck.
I actually feel sorry for Spears, she wasn’t mature enough to handle the success she got. Now she’s an adult but she’s a total mess and Jive loves it because even negative publicity sells records. Sure, she might not sell as many as she used to, but she’ll still sell more albums than Ozzy or someone because her name is always out there and Jive knows how to get lip service.
Playing the “these people have it worse” card doesn’t work when it comes to losing ones mind. Those starving kids in africa do have it bad but in Britney’s world, losing fame is what kills the mind. So Jive is right when they say people don’t know what its like. Having it all and losing it has to hurt, a lot. Especially if you’re used to the fame. However, its the record labels that help perpetuate an artists drama at times.. so Jive is probably somewhat responsible for some of her indiscretions.
idiotic post
A word of warning to Brit-Brit’s new pooch, I mean dog, run, no seriously run, in this picture, Look at her face, she looks as if she is going to gobble down this poor dog. Anyone got any Louisiana hot sauce ya’ll, tastes like chicken, at least everything does to her, watch out kids…..
Yeah, ol’ Ben Franklin always had a thing for the ladies:

does she know what a chump is?
Ben Franklin is always good for a laugh. That may have been the funniest thing I’ve ever read here. Well done!
She faces challenges that most of us can’t imagine???!!!??
