Is Britney the only person to blame for her recent mental collapse? Not completely. There are several reasons why I try to no longer write about Britney, one - regardless the points it will win me in visitors it has just become depressing to watch and two - maybe I am contributing to her downfall. When I say “I” I am meaning all of the people that write the lash outs to condemn the person she is, but continue to do it for better rank within their networks, both TV and internet.
Yes, rank is important, don’t get me wrong. I am like the majority of the media; the better my numbers are the better rank I have, the better you are viewed by viewers and more viewers will seek you out. It is a viscous cycle we are all a part of. What do you think sweeps week is for? Well, this year of course sweeps won’t be that great because the writers are still picketing, but you get my point. The thing that I am really taking issue with is seeing Britney’s recent struggles and breakdown, she has fallen and the media welcomes it, we are almost wanting it to happen for more to talk about.
Do you think the media has in some small way helped push Britney’s breakdown as far as it has gone? This is all opinion here, no right or wrong, but I do believe in some small way the large parties to her fall are, of course herself, her family, and the media. I think Britney thrives on the attention, just like a child does, regardless if it is good or bad - it was attention. She loves the reactions from people in general. It is that reaction that grabbed the attention of the media and that was all she wrote. The media capitalized on her impending downfall.
Britney doesn’t have to behave the way she does… we all know that, I believe she knows that. After acting wild and crazy for awhile, she wears the why-do-I-care-what-they-think attitude daily now. And why should she care? She is Britney Spears after all. The media loves the sensationalism she brings to their reports, crazy headline after crazy headline and people want to know what stupid thing Brit is doing now. We all completely buy into it; her celebrity, her idiot remarks, and dumb interviews. Every one of us at some point wants to smack her every time she chews a piece of chewing gum.
Her family has watched her go down hill, right along with the rest of us. I honestly believe her parents should have stepped in months ago, way before the rest of us came to the realization that she was slowly losing her children. Well, she’s lost them now, where was her family before it happened? I have hardly heard anything regarding her father. It has always been Lynne Spears this, Lynne Spears that. Jamie Spears, Brit’s father, has just recently exploded on to the scene just in the nick of time. Thankfully he is has been placed as her temporary guardian over her financial affairs along with Britney’s legal counsel. This is what she needs, for someone to finally smack her and wake her up. I just hope he was the right person for it - better then her mom that is for sure.
The good news… Brit must stay at UCLA for an extended period now to have consistent psych care. Sam Lufti is out of the picture for now with a restraining order against him. Dad is in charge. I truly hope that Brit receives the care she needs to find her true self again. Hopefully it is not too late for her to live a full life, healthy, and with her children. I know we all go through issues like this, I am just thankful that my issues aren’t posted all over magazines and the news.

First reports were that Lynne, Britney’s mom, was granted conservatorship over Brit’s well being. Now, the reports are that Jamie, Brit’s dad has been given legal guardian over all of her affairs, including health, legal, financial, and any care she may need until a hearing on Monday. Britney is currently under a involuntary psychiatric hold for 72 hours. My only issue with this - they have seen this coming for months, where were they then? If someone had helped earlier, Brit might not be where she is today. There have also been notices that Sam Lufti has had a civil harassment restraining order placed against him concerning Britney Spears.

You know about how far you can believe anything coming from Britney, anyway, apparently the guy we haven’t seen much of lately, Sam Lutfi, is the new guy Brit wants to marry. WTF? According to a report on MSNBC.com, Britney has made it known that she would like to make Lutfi her next Mr. Spears. OMG… someone please wake this girl up from the nightmare the rest of us are having.Source: MSNBC.com

See this guy with Brit, Sam Lutfi, well apparently he has a past of sorts. Doesn’t everyone in Brit’s life have a past? Anyway, he and Brit have been seen just about everywhere together, now he can’t be found - disappeared from the pubic eye. US Weekly apparently exposed his shady past in their most recent weekly reader. Read some here!
