AnnaRose, that is the most double standard response I have ever read. I am not a Britney fan, but geez, what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander. Whether she tried to justify her actions and Brad did not is NOT the point…they were both wrong!

I think the difference with Brad and Angelina is that no one really knows if they were together before he and Jennifer separated. It’s all just ruomrs at this point, and Brad and Jennifer had no children together so it’s not as if a family was disturbed.
Also, I have yet to hear Brad try to justify the lack of helmet. In the very next picture the kids were wearing helmets and so he seems to have realized his mistake. Britney added fuel to the fire by trying to justify what she did. I don’t want to hear excuses from her about why it’s okay, because it’s not okay.

There are so many rumors, lies, stories, etc. It’s so hard to know what is true about anyone anymore. It’s probably always been this way; is just seems that the media & paparazzi are more intrusive & vicious than ever.

All celebrities have advisers, managers & PR people that are paid to make sure they have a certain image that is projected to the public (some do a better job than others). I don’t think we have the slightest clue who these celebs really are – in real life.

Maybe the photos were stolen or maybe it was a PR stunt? I don’t think it really matters.

When all is said and done here, no matter whether Britney deserves the criticism or not, the only ones that are really going to suffer are her children. It wont be long before Sean and the new baby will be old enough to understand the things that are being said about their parents. How sad.

(A little of topic here, but I just want to add in response to something that was mentioned in a prior note on this thread: I still say Brad “got off easy” in regards to the whole riding-on-bike-with-no-helmet-on-Zahara deal. And Brad & Angie’s relationship started in a less than desirable manner, but that doesn’t seem to be mentioned as often.) Anyway, I’m fan of them all – I wish them all well, Britney and Kevin included.

ALISA- No I do not know Britney Spears personally, but it is my opinion that she is not a credible person anymore. I am entitled to that.

However, what is really shocking to me is that you know Michael Jackson personally! Of course that is why you refered to him as a ‘child molesting freak’ in your post. See I don’t recall him ever being convicted of that and so if we all go by your rules for you to say that about him is only allowed if you KNOW HIM.

Don’t jump down my throat and do be a hypocrite. Allow others to have an opinion please.

alisa: No one was acting like Britney is a serial killer. They were simply saying that she has a credibility problem, and she does. Britney is reaping the negative effects of what she has sown, and I’m sick of hearing her blame the press.
You insulted another poster and said that she couldn’t know that Britney was lying because that person doesn’t know her. Actually we do know about lies that she has told. She claimed on Dateline that she didn’t know that Kevin was involved with Shar until two months into it, and yet it was in every magazine and on the news during the time when Britney claimed to know nothing (there’s lie number one), then she claimed the press was surrounding her car on the day when she drove with Sean on her lap and yet the pictures clearly show that there was only one photographer (that’s lie number two). And those are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
We are all free to have opinions that are different from yours. We don’t all have to pretend like we believe every lie that she tells. If you want to that’s your choice. But the way you’re jumping down the other posters throats about this seems a bit extreme. Unless you’re a relative of hers I don’t see why you should care that there are other people on this board who don’t like her.

all celebs lie and manipulate the press. It’s been going on for years and years!! However, I don’t think she or Jive is lying about the pics being stolen. They truly look like private family pics. It is dofferent when some celeb is walkng down a public street and the tabloids get pics. This is totally different. If she wanted the press to get pics like this she would have given her permission.

I don’t agree with everything Brit does or says, but I am not judging her for it either. Like I have said in the past, it is her life and I hope she will be happy and I hope Sean and the new baby grow up to be happy.

In some ways I agree with some of you that despite Britney’s age and money, she does seem rather immature.

Yeah thee might be a difference in many 24 yr olds, such as the ones who are over;ly reponsible, have a great career (which they truly earned through education, etc.) and are on top of everything are seem like they’re more “24-going-on-34″. Then there are the ones still having a good time on their parents’ expense anmd try to find the easy way out in work or the “24-going-on-21″ (ie most of the casts from past seasons of MTV’s Real World, etc.)…and of course there are many more 20-somethings that fall somewhere between the two extremes.

However for Britney I still think that she has the maturity level of a teenager 98% of the time, and thus pitches a fit when she doesn’t get her own way.

In some ways she might as well have taken the route same-aged Christian pop singer Nikki Leonte had to take when her burgeoning career was unexpectantly sidetracked by a pregnancy back in 2000 when she was only 18. (I’m sure Nikki could have a few things to teach Britney about being a mother.)

Anyway the only things those pictures of Britney, Sean, and K-Fed on vacationb prove is that 1.) she can get along with her husband sometimes and 2.) she’s the same old dorky popstar that she was back in 1999 (esp. in the stroller pic w/her blonde hair and million watt smile.)

People hate it but accept the fact that even Britney & Kevin can have happy family moments.

She IS NOTHING like that child molesting freak MJ!! Trix unless you know her You have no idea what she’s lying about newsflash, all celebs lie about their personal lives.

Stop beleiving the tabs patricia, she never said she was gonna sue the company, the tabloids said that. She’s not a little girl nor has she “cried” wolf. Get your facts straight, britney has sued people many times in the past & has several lawsuits going now. Everyone is full of “excues” for what they do. She has also said many times she is who she is take it or leave it. She wasn’t pretending to be anyone. You make her out to be serial killer hiding in the bushes. She was a kid & grew up & changed from the spotlight.
