I have great sympathy for the people that got in way over their head in terms of courting attention; but it's still hard for me to have great, great sympathy because I do believe they made their own choices that took them there. Having said that, their children are innocent in all of it and I think it's disgusting when paparazzi and the general public are obsessed with celebrity's babies. There needs to be some really obvious rules enforced in the gossip game.<BR/><BR/>I do think Britney Spears is dealing with some kind of post-partum issues on top of everything else. I know it can happen at any point, but I think the risk for it might be higher if you don't give your body and hormones a year off between pregnancies. She's had an intense last two years and she needs to decompress.

People think there's a conspiracy behind Diana's death. People say Brittany Spears is going crazy but no one stops and thinks - as you have done - wouldn't you go crazy? Every single thing you do is criticized no matter how common or normal it is. I feel sorry for her and I hope that she finds help because it seems to be that she is suffering from some form of post partum or something similar. (You can see the amount of attention I give to these stories by the examples I have had to use.)Sugarplumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398099931247706500noreply@blogger.com
