I think it's a combination of the fame and having your childhood screwed around with. She was pushed into fame by her parents, managers etc... (as so many 'stars' are who become famous at a young age) and it's something that is bloody difficult to deal with.
It doesn't surprise me that she's gone off the rails, and ultimately I feel sorry for her.
i feel sorry for her too. She is trying to find her own identity i think- she was moulded by what other people wanted her to be and now that she is truly on her own (before she was married her mom was always with her) she is doing the "crash and burn" thing because she does not really know what to do with herself. It really sad but hopefully she will find her feet again.
I agree, definitely some element of post partum depression combined with years of bulimia (which she just admitted to), a lot of coke, e, MDMA, and being surrounded by sychophants who never say no, and users who didn't care care. I think she's a very sad girl, she's an easy target for the media but the fact that she has 2 kids under 2 just makes it tragic.
ohh poor britney.. i hope she can come back from this, and i think she can, there have even been talks of doing a song with timbaland and justin timberlake .. maybe when her hair grows back?
Damn I'm sheltered, I've never even heard of Methylenedioxymethamphetamine but some quick googling turns up that e and MDMA are one in the same. Now if I only knew what e was :P
e is the tablet form, mdma is pure liquid ecstacy, i lived in whistler in vancouver canada for a while and it was the party drug of choice up there for the serious partyheads.
