YouTube blogger Chris Crocker isn’t the only person in the world who wants the media to leave Britney Spears alone. The Queen of Pop Madonna is also getting protective of the recovering pop star as she says to paparazzi that they need to step off from the troubled star. Even Madonna’s 11-year old daughter Lourdes wants the paps to give Britney some space. According to Us, Madonna even told ‘Yo on E’ satellite radio show that we need to save Britney. Well that’s what Poppa Spears is there for. But as we all know, things with Brit can go terribly wrong overnight. Here’s to hoping right?

Britney Spears is quickly getting known as someone who likes to bail and she almost bailed on her music video shoot for ‘Piece of Me’. That is, until her record label planned to use the dancers and location for her video for a younger rising star.

Page Six is reporting that the pop wreck was supposed to show up at Social Hollywood to shoot her new video but was hours late. When it looked like she was going to be a no-show, Jive decided to refit the set for another act’s video shoot – Samantha Jade’s ‘Eyes on Me’. When Brit got wind of what was going on, the Post says that she finally showed up – twelve hours past call time.

They would have to pay ME to buy that garbage. I’ve never spent one cent on Britney and I never will. She represents everything that is wrong with the music industry. Crappy music created by a corporation trying to make money off of teeny boppers. It worked for a while, but those days are over. This album is going to bomb horribly. She needs a year off. Leave the spotlight, spend time doing something that has nothing to do with the career. She can make her comeback after a year-long retirement. Leave LA, spend time with friends and family, and no more ‘handlers. ‘When she comes back, everyone will have missed her, she’ll enter a new phase of her career, and she’ll stop having to try so hard. Mariah Carey went nuts because she was overworked, being a popstar and paying dozens of people to keep the train rolling. Britney is doing the same thing, with her panties off, at the expense of her kids.

Good have a mercy!!!

For the past few weeks there has been a lot of hype surrounding Spears’ supposed ‘comeback’ performance but let’s just say it was less than mediocre. She was wearing heels that she could barely walk in and her performance consisted of her going from one side of the stage to the other in a jeweled bra and panties lip-syncing. Its sad seeing someone I idolized growing up, completely bomb on stage. There was so much hype surrounding this performance, not only from fans but from fellow celebrities. You would think that she would have done a better job at performing, but she gave up. She’s gained a lot of weight, her dancing was lame and her lip synching was worse than Ashlee Simpson. What a disappointment. That was so simple. As everyone we all were expecting something shocking, amazing, magic, and something strong. This was really bad for her and her career. Is not the worst thing in the world but is not the best and it was supposed to be the best for a comeback. I hope her music video for the song gets better than this. Is so sad to see her without self esteem and confidence. She needs help and that’s the down line.
