It’s interesting - with all this talk about Anna Nicole’s death, you hear this statement a lot “It’s no surprise - watching her was like watching a trainwreck“. Not exactly the kind of thing I would want said about me, posthumously. If Britney Spears dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow - how much would you want to bet - - people would be saying the same thing.

The girl is a wreck!

Remember When?…

This picture isn’t even on of those photoshopped, airbrushed, posed pictures you see all over the net. This is just a picture of Britney out and about at some public event.. and awards show, or PR moment. She looks really great - - healthy, glowing… clean.

These days - the girl is just looking… rough. She looks spent, used and unclean. I’m thinking that a daily shower would probably improve her appearance. Of course, we love celebrities for their beauty, and we’re superficial that way - admit it. Even moreso with Britney - she grew up in the public eye as the picture of total perfection. Perfect face. Perfect hair. Perfect body. Just gorgeous.

I’m inclined to give the girl a break, really…to some extent. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live under the pressure of perfection from the age of 15. It is true - the higher you climb, the harder you fall — and Britney has fallen hard, and keeps falling over and over again. Makes a person wonder how much farther down she can spiral before her adoring (?) public just does not want to lift her up again.

I just KNOW that there have to be people in her life who are advising her… or at least trying to. I suspect she USED to have a stylist and a PR rep — I’m guessing they are locked in the closet, though. She needs to start with daily showers and brushing her hair — that is something that normal humans do.

Maybe she’s going out like this in public, puking all over the place, not taking care of her kids, and in a constant state of drunken stupidity so that when she DOES eventually make a comeback - - anything….ANYTHING.. is better than what we see of her now. Maybe, if she completely lowers all expectations into the utter basement… the only way to go from there is up. Could it be that I just revealled the secret Britney Spears PR Management Program?

The Latest Britney Dish
Britney’s former personal assistant, and longtime friend, Felicia Culotta, sent an email into a Britney fansite this week in response to Britney’s latest antics:

Once again–I commend you for your Honesty and Integrity. I have been reading your new website daily and am grateful to have that to go to, to check on the antics of Britney. Britney doesn’t have a Publicist for me to clear this thru first, so it will come directly from my heart to you!

I am writing in response to “Where is Felicia?” on your editorial. I am home in Mississippi … I am now a trained Corporate Flight Attendant and fly with a tiny jet company out of Georgia. I am also a substitute Preschool Teacher at the Church Preschool in my town. I LOVED being with Britney for the past 9 1/2 years. I enjoyed being a part of HER dream, but now, am living my own dream.

I cherish ALL the incredible opportunities that came my way thru my job with Britney and am crushed/saddened/heart sick by the way her life is unfolding …

I want you to know Ruben that WE (as in her Family and nearest and dearest — ALL of whom are NOT on the payroll anymore!!) are doing EVERYTHING in our power to get help for Britney and all in our power to NOT pad the bottom or move the bottom, so when she does indeed hit rock bottom, she’ll stand up and walk away from this whole fiasco a new, confident, changed, career driven Britney like we all knew and loved.

There’s just so much you can do to help a person — I don’t dare want to be an enabler, and I cannot love her enough for the both of us. I cannot convince her in ANY way to love herself. All I can do is be a friend, someone that loved her for MANY years unconditionally, and PRAY. That, I have decided is the most and best I can do for my friend. I cannot save her from herself, nor can I commit her to any type of treatment program against her wishes and will. I am throwing my hands up and realizing that I am helpless over another — ANYONE!

It’s been a hard reality for me to face. I have lived my best example daily, and that is ALL I’m capable of. To see what’s transpiring now, makes me feel a failure, defeated. I LOVED and BELIEVED in what I was a part of for the past 10 years and was so incredibly proud of Britney and all she’d become.

All that to say this Ruben — I’m so Southern, and the BEST way for me to tell you how I feel is to say — You can just kick an old Dog so many times before he gets off the porch. I, FELICIA, am OFF the porch!!

Thank you for ALL you’ve done — ALL the love and support over the years. ALL the non-judgment and ALL the Honesty!

PLEASE let me know if there’s ANYTHING I can do to repay your kindness. With as much sincerity as I can Muster,

—FE

Felicia and Britney: The Way We Were

This does give a glimpse into how Britney’s (former)friends and family feel about the way her life is currently headed. I couldn’t possibly attempt to wrap my head around what Britney has been going through…. early stardom, constant perfection, two failed marriages, two babies at a very young age - now facing divorce and single motherhood — but I can say this… even when mistakes are made - the choices you make in life are the choices you have to live with. It seems to be taking Britney a LOT of time to recoil and have her mental breakdown - - in the meantime, what of the kids? What are they doing while she self-destructs?

It’s a sad situation - but she is her own worst enemy. At first, she had my sympathy. Then, she had my empathy. Now? She has my pity.

Take a shower, Britney - that is a good place to start.
