« REMEMBER TO REMEMBER!!! Reflecting on 9/11: The People, The Pulverized Steel, The Propaganda, The Politics, The Profiteers, The President...And So Much Pain...Revisiting the Worst and the Best of US | Main | REMEMBER TO REMEMBER!!!

We like Britney's new single, "Gimme More" and though
she seemed to be in slow motion during the VMAs last night,
We say Give her a break!
MTV has been using her for $$$$$$$$$$$ and viewership
(hello?! would anyone under 16 have cared about the VMAs if
she hadn't been scheduled to open?! and is anyone talking about
anyone else???!!!) for just under a decade! She is a candle burning at both
ends, and no one seems to care enough about her to help her~ though they
all seem altogether scarily too quick and proud to pounce on her in judgment,
now that they have years of her money in their own bank accounts!~ with love,
unconditional honest love. She is NOT "fat" by any standards other than the oh-so-
whack and warped standards of LA/the media/the fashion industry, even if, yes, she is
heavier than she was when she was a trained moneymaker for all her enablers...We think
the girl just needs a few real moments, and a few real friends. She needs a few selfless
(aka not milking her money tree or enabling her pain) friends and family members, and
a few genuine, good, clean moments of clarity. Whether that will ever happen is a whole
different issue: she needs to realize her actions have repercussions, and she needs to
realize it's no longer about her 100% anymore. She chose to have kids...2, in fact!
We hope she works through the pain and sadness she so obviously suffers with each
day of her life. She has to reconcile her own sorrow and recognize her own choices.
Either way,
We love you britney!
And we'd help you get healthy, happy and...yes, hip, too! For free!
As ever,
KO
