Okay, so I read last week how Britney's computer use is monitored and certain sites are blocked. She's not allowed to interact online. Or read about herself. She has a cell phone, but, she shares it with her minder..err, fiance. He checks all her calls, incoming and out gowing and reports to her father who still has conservativeship over Brit and all her money and activities. They've all put a stop to everything she loves. She is no longer photographed going out for coffee, a daily outing she once loved. She is never driving anymore. Another activity she adored. She even said that in her meloncholy interviews, which I watch out of curiosity. Forget the club scene, it aint happening anymore. That might be a good thing, but, I wish it was her choice, not her fathers. I don't know why I'm so interested in Britney, but, I've watched everything she's ever done. Every interview. I don't think she's the sharpest pencil in the box, but, I know she isn't a moron. How much of this watchdog stuff is too much? How long does this have to go on? I mean, all she really did was get depressed, shave her head and bounce an umbrella off a car. I've done way worse than that at times. I just don't get it. Wouldn't you be going crazy about now with all these restrictions put on you? It's like the poor woman is in jail. She never committed a crime. Reports are also slamming her with lack of visitation with her boys, but, they aren't in her custody. They're safe and her job is to run all over the world (while constantly being watched and reported on) and make millions and millions of dollars to support her dad, her mom, her ex husband, her kids, his new wife, their kid, his kids from Shar, probably her sister and her kid and everyone she employs. Make that money, shake that ass, don't gain weight, don't wear the pink wig, block that site, give daddy your phone and make coffee at home. Really? In return her fiance, who gets cut a paycheck, will steady her arm at approved functions and daddy will make her grits with velveeta for breakfast. Oh, and mommy will stop writing shitty tell all books about her. I'd have killed them all by now, literally. How long can this shit go on? I don't think she's crazy, I think no one gives a shit about her. All they want is control of the money. I think if this ridiculous situation isn't changed soon, she will explode. I don't blame her. She's an adult. What the hell is going on here? No, really? What..the..hell..is going on here??

I once was an Art Director at a fancy schmancy branding company in the Beverly Hills / Century City area. Our clients included the 'rich and famous' who had their name attached to a perfume, a handbag, home goods, etc - you get the picture. She came in a few times to sit in meetings and at the very best, she was little more than a controlled robot. She had sad eyes. I felt sorry for her. She is a brand, not a person. She seemed totally objectified. Sigh.
In her last expose' she seemed slightly robotic and has admited to feeling sad and alone. With tears. Yet never once did I get the feeling she was out of control or a danger to herself. More like, she had given up. I think it's very cool that you got to meet her. Despite her problems, she is a great preformer and someone I enjoy on stage. She was raised on the stage, it's allshe knows.
ps..boy, you sure have had some interesting jobs. You really have. Any more stories about celebs?
years ago, around the time of her meltdown, there was a blind item that a pop star had gotten HIV from surgery and it made them lose their mind because they had children.....i read this on dlisted...the guesses were britney because i guess she had had breast implants....that would of course make anyone lose their mind, getting that diagnosis, especially if she was prone to say bipolar....and people have pointed out how it's strange how absolutely lock tight the medical records are---i've read it's more than usual in such cases, though i think anyone's medical records SHOULD be private.....and i remember i think a year or so ago, there was a frantic meeting to keep the boys' medical records private also, as those records were in the conservatorship papers too.....
i think she needs more personal freedom and the phone checking is just creepy....i can understand perhaps not wanting her to read things on the internet, especially if they are protecting her from criticism as that might severely affect her....but the phone calls? that's fucked....let her talk away....let her go get a frappacino or however you spell it twice a day.....let her go shopping.....and it's ridiculous how they just keep making her make more money....let her take time OFF....that's what she needs....time for HER.....
i'm with DD! i'd love to hear more stories mary_mary!
I worked as an Art Director for the movie and TV industry for many years and 3 folks who stand out as completely gracious with stellar, engaging personalities: Glenn Close, John Turturro and Clint Eastwood. Jack Nicholson is a hoot with a mischievous air. Not so nice folks I may mention or hint at here .... we shall see.
well now you KNOW we're gonna be waiting for hints!!!! that sounds like an awesome job you had!!
You had to mention grits with velveeta. I love cheesy grits, but not velveeta. Now I have an envie!
YOU MET JACK?? OMG, I love me some Jack. Tell me you slept with him. Just tell me that, even if it's not true.
Jane, Lis is a Velveeta girl, she eats it by the hunk. I can't get her on board with the grits though. She says that's sick.
GD it!! I just typed a big Brit story and hit some f'g key that shut off my laptop. I might re write it later. But it was how my daughter works with Brits stylist/make up artist when she isn't touring with Brit. She became very close to her and ccannot talk about her, but she's told my daughter plenty! She's seen it all, most of it BAD! She has travelled by invitation to Lousiana for visits to her home that she bought for her mother. She has lived and worked with Brit, knows her well and see's the mental emotional abuse she endures daily. Jason is an employee. Don't ever think he's anything but. She didnt want X Factor. She was hysterical about having to do it, was forced to. She is monitored at every moment. I cannot believe all this sh** got leaked. But this is nothing. I have stories that my daughter has told me, that seem incredible, but are true. Gawd, it would take all day! Some stuff my daughter didnt even tell me, she just hinted at the story. She is afraid of her friend finding out she told anybody. Also, Brits dancers are now touring with J-Lo and are weirded out about Casper being with her and he danced for Brit last tour. Now its all flipped and weird and he wont even speak to any of them or even look at them, and they were all really good friends before. Now he's the shit and acts like a dick to them, like they don't exist. Nobody gets it and they all resent it, he was just one of them and now this? It's insanity. I bet they hate him! All those tours are like that, dancers just switch tours and keep on dancing, they know everything. Anyway, I didn't type all that other shit again. But beleiving my daughter, I know Brit is never under her own power and her father is a SOB, not a nice guy. Its a scary situation and Brit cannot change anything. She is a puppet.

I slept with Jack.
I worked with him re: Anger Management. The other star of that film is a complete and utter a-h@le. He talks AT you, not TO you. Jack loves women, you can tell and he has that way about him. Fun and funny and he can take a crack or two, as well. Another time I saw him at a local grocery store here in West Hollywood - this was several years ago. He was in total incognito wear - slouchy cap, big sunglasses, loose clothing, unshaven and with his son, Raymond,who was a preteen. He had nothing but tons of candy on the conveyor belt. I looked at him and said, "Hey, Jack, you gots the sweet tooth," and he shoots back, " I like 'um sweet, but no, actually, me and the kid here are goin' to the movies and I'm not paying those goddamn prices at the concession stand." Then he winks and says, "Wanna go to the movies with us?" He just has this way. I love that he is a gazillionaire in the film industry but was grousing about the concession prices at the flickers. : )
Mary, thank you. My life is complete now. I know someone who slept with Jack Nicholson. "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!" I love your stories!
Tia, I remember that blind sort of.
Rox, that's very telling, isn't it? I just feel so sorry for Brit. She knows no other life and it seems to me she's been used since she was a child. I know she appeared on Broadway as a very young kid..she didn't just come out of nowhere.
