Associated Press Writes Britney Spears Obituary
Talk about pessimism! Usmagazine.com is reporting some creepy news that the Associated Press has already begun writing a Britney Spears obituary.
“We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time,” AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington said.
“I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now,” she adds. “Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared.”
I'm sorry but that's a little upsetting. I'm sure we've all had thoughts that Britney might be teetering on the Anna Nicole Smith-edge, but to go as far as to actually start preparing for her death is really too much. Why don't they pick out her coffin and buy little suits for Sean and Jayden to wear?
On the other hand, I hope Britney reads this story and it so freaked out that she does something about the mess she calls her life. Talk about a wake up call.

How AWFUL!!! That is the most disturbing and disgusting thing I have ever heard in my life! Britney is not the first person in the world to go through a breakdown. So someone has a rough time and we write them off??? How screwed up is that. Britney needs some love and positivity in her life. People need to give her a flippen break.
Stephanie: I too am having trouble with this new Blabber blog.... I hit send and it doesn't send. You must have done the same thing. Bring back the old way!
Cause of death:
Too many venereal diseases to list as well as too many prescription drugs in her system.
The deceased leaves behind two young children she didn't care much about to fight for as she was too busy with her new 8 inch of the month club.
Fare well Ms. Spears you will all too soon be forgotten.
This new system SUCKS, it may put off the trolls but it will also put off regular users.
It's actually pretty common for news organizations to have obits ready to go for old and sick stars. Not shocking at all.
As much as I dislike Britney Spears, this is just awful, I thought the Associated Press was a reputable source of journalism.
I learned in Journalism class in high school that obits of famous people are always written up ahead of time among the bigger news organizations. This is common practice, as Tink said.
*gasp did that rlly happend omg
I heard this news earlier at Richromances.com where celebrities and rich people are talking about this at forum of that site. I am so sad. She will be in my prayers.
Does that mean that they do it for ALL the celebrities or just the ones they think are in "danger" ? To be honest thats pretty disturbing knowing that someone is preparing for your demise even before your time.
This is nothing new. Most newspapers have obituaries written in advance notable people both locally/nationally/ internationally. That is one of the first things I learned in Journalism 101. Many newspapers are prepared for when someone notable passes away, so they aren't scrambling in the end.
Who cares? I certainly don't care if she lives or dies. Enough of Brittany!! She's a GROWN woman and knows right from wrong. I'm sick of hearing about her. She's a pathetic mother, she's disgraced her family and she continues to live the life of a spoiled brat. Honestly, if she was that much of a threat to herself, wouldn't her family, publicist, or attorney done something to get a court order and have her committed. She loves the media attention. It's the only thing keeping her career going.
Yes as sad as that is it's not surprising, we all saw it coming w/ anna-nicole, and it seems britany is following the same path.
I really do wish she would get some help, those boys really do need a mother in their life.
Somebody really needs to slap so reality into her if not for herself but for those poor boys.
U guys are just tooo frkn much....yes, shes going thru a rough time in life, like u retards never have.... but y dont u add the whole world in ur face and putting u down left and right and especially marrying that asswhole that now things got flipped over to him being the best dad in the world...go fkn figure....he used her for her money and fame...and now this shyt...leave the girl alone and let her fix herself without the negativity and in her face 24/7.......
Very very sad...leave the poor girl alone. The people suffering the most from all this are those two boys.
yes its sad to think that the press is getting preped for her demise to death,but this is HER CHOICE she is making ! she has NOT domne 1 damn thing to get herself better and sad to say I dont forsee her trying to do anthing for herself,kids,or her carreer..she has nothing left in her life but papparazzi that she loves to have following her cause if it did bother her ,then she could get far away from the camera's but she chooses not to do so !!
THAT'S JUST RIDICULOUS! NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER OR HOW SHE'LL DIE! SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW! WHOEVER DID THAT NEEDS SOME HELP AS WELL! SO MORBID AND DISREPECTFULL TO BRITNEY AND HER FAMILY. ALL I KNOW IS THAT CHILD NEEDS SOME THERAPY, LIKE TODAY!
Leave that poor girl alone!Everybody goes through tough times and she is being pushed to the limit as far as I am concerned.Pray for her!Keturah
I have been in journalism for the past 5 years, nothing serious more freelance and press for bands. One thing I remember from my schooling was all major press outlets have the obits done for pretty much all of the famous as soon as it starts to look down hill.
Its sad and a horrible thought but the the storey needs to be ready to run ASAP.
Write in once and update as you see fit seems to be the moto.
If everyone would just stop paying attention to this spoiled little girl she WILL go away. She knows exactly what she is doing with all the crap she keeps pulling. I am so sick of hearing about her I could scream!! She is not news and she is always on the local news channels, it's annoying....
I'm for a "New" Hollywood where stars have NO bad attitudes
and NO bad habits. Where there will be NO place for NO-talent
freaks!
This Hollywood...and the likes of Britney...are going the way
of the dinosaur!
This is very sad. Brittney would probably get some what better if you people stopped harassing her and stopped posting things like this. There are plenty of actress and actors out there with bipolar or depression issues, in time I sure she will find what helps her and she will be on the road to recovery. She is a good person, a good Mother and if the paparazzi along with all the entertainment mags that only post trash would leave her alone she may get the help she needs. She is only posted all over the place when someone thinks she is up to something or has done something wrong. Just like her episode at her house when she had to give the kids back, they swore she was on drugs or alcohol, but look she wasn’t. And the test proved it! You people make her out to be worse then she is…. LEAVE HER ALONE! Pathetic!
What a horrible thing to write about her, it's like the whole entire country is waiting for this to actually happen. I hope that the person from the associated press is fires for this. Why can't everyone just leave this girl alone. I think she has had enough bashing by the press and everyone saying such nasty things about her.
I agree with Ronald and alot of the comments on this blog. Brittany has a publicist. She has a team of attorneys that counsel her daily. She's a grown woman. It's true in a previous comment that if family members or even her publicist, manager or legal team could get a court order and have her committed if they deem her a threat to herself. You have to remember, this negative attention is better than if she would have restarted her career with nothing. Every picture, comment and story earns her more money. Brittany's behavior has always been reckless and her actions those of a spoiled brat. She watched a horror movie while being drunk one night, ran out and married a childhood friend. They were married 52 hours? Then she married Kevin and there was news about her dropping her boys and driving with them on her lap. They were out clubbing all the time. She's never been a good mother or positive influence on her children.
It's not uncommon for the news to prepare an obit on someone they think has a greater likelihood of dying soon.
Hopefully these news stories will help trigger her into doing some self-evaluation.
While I don't know if I believe she is really the "mess" she "claims: to be, I don't wish this on anyone's children. Thank goodness these boys are still too young to really know what is being said about their momma, common practive in journalism or not. As for Britney, I really wish she would stop being such trash and get herself some self-respect! I think she enjoys her life this way, honestly, and her family is obviously going with the flow; some needs to gain control over this situation...FAST!
OMG! THAT'S HORRIBLE!! I hope they get their asses sued for that. They definitely crossed the line!!
First and foremost, do you remember "DEATH BECOMES HER"? well personally i believe none of Britneys stuff, is any of our business. Who are we to point any fingers, when we all have done our own share of drugs, rehab, and or made a stupid mistake that sometimes just bites us in the ass.. I know I have, its called being human. Now, for the Death Becomes Her bit, i think if she "passes" and your writing obituaries, then maby she had some of that elixar? All those stars that die, for strange reasons, i believe are still out there. Just living there life, after there ride. I remember Britney wanted to be Madonna, and you know what she fell way too far to even catch up to what or where Madonna is at now, there not a chance, for her to get out of it all except death, BUT MY GOD, she's already having issues, this is the worst IDEA to plant in her head... Poor Britney. Leave her alone, and let her figure it out...
Having worked in the news media (an ABC affiliate), this is not unusual--it's more the norm. The news media, especially the larger servers like the major networks newspapers and the AP, write and keep updated obits/photos/video footage on file for on all who are famous: actors/actresses, world leaders, business leaders, etc. That way the media is prepared and we don't have to scramble to piece together a story or any specials when one of fame dies. It's not morbid, just part of the business.
i argee with the above
Oh My God! This obituary scheme is a gimmic to sell more papers. The Britt issue is hot right now and every media outlet is buying ito it. Britt and the media are raking in tons of money from folk that buy these stories and pay attention to her garbage. The courts already ordered a psychological evaluation when she had joint custody of the boys. She passed with flying colors. She would still be hospitalized by court order if there was any instability. She's just playing games with the media and enjoys the attention. She's in her 20's with two kids. She's a pitiful role model for today's young teens and adults.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA die already bitch
I think all of this is bull! Everyone has a hard time now and then but people who are famous have it harder I believe. I mean yes it is the life they chose but did they. I mean did they ask for noisey reporters to be in there buissness all the time. I think there needs to be something done about the idiots who make a living following people around and getting dirt. I mean I know america likes the scoops on celebs but at what point is it enough. I am tired of hearing about britney spears and her sister and screwed up mom. The way I look at it everyone has a screwed up family or that one screwed up family member so when you guys get perfect and you or your family are not screwed up then you can comment on others but until then shut the hell up. All britney needs is to want to change and for someone that is stable by her side and she will be fine so back off and get a life. If I was a celeb and I got followed around all the time by people who could not keep there noise out of my behind then I would put my money to good use. I would find out who they were and find out some dirt because I know money can make people talk. I would then go to the competion and sell that story and let them see how it feels to be put through the grinder day after day. Maybe you think you are perfect but everyone has a little something there hidding. So britney I hope you see this and I hope you do it. I believe it would help you. I know you say that you do not care what people think but I do not believe you. You can only take so much and i know you have to be tired of it. Do not think of it as revenge just think of it as fun.
All I Have to say is,"GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND GET A LIFE!!!! Try putting your feet in some elses shoes.
LEAVE HER ALONE. SHE HAS ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH. SHE NEEDS SOME HELP AND GOD WILL GET HER THRU IT. BRIT IF YOU READ THIS IM BEHIND YOU. GET SOME HELP GIRL AND GET YOUR KIDS BACK. THATS ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS. GOD BLESS YOU BRIT. ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE YOU. GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS. LOVE ALWAYS MELISSA
hi there britney ,keep the faith.love is always better ,its waiting ,with your faith and faithfull, usa prayers in all of us britney ,just know!
faith!
faithfully yours,
mark purple
truce
Give her a break!!! My advice to Britney: Go far, far away until people start focusing on something else, clear your head, then come back and be a mother. It's pretty clear that this girl is messing up over and over and is not very strong right now. That's why can't get herself out of this hole she dug. She's too depressed! Here's an idea and I'm completely serious. Britney, go somewhere very far and private. Shave your head again and don't come back until it's at least chin length. That'll give you time to think.
DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK BRITTANY SPEARS IS SITTING AROUND ON HER COMPUTER READING THESE COMMENTS? GET A LIFE PEOPLE.
I think this should be a total wakeup call for Brittany! Lord only knows what she will do or not do in the future. Something needs to wake her up...Hmmm, think she needs to work in a morgue next to Lyndsey? Hey! This would be even better, work with drug rehab patients that are coming off the drugs! Have the meth users smile at her with there missing teeth! I just have no respect for her when she started acting as if she had no morals! Makes you wonder if her mother forced her and her sister into star hood just abit to early....A messed daughter who thinks more of her drugs, drinking and partying then her children, and then the younger daughter, PREGNANT at 16! At that age, I was more worried about my math test and english paper then having sex! This is what todays society is all about! Seeing what you can get your kids to do for money....if this is true, I think we all need to sit down with our families and watch some good ol' Andy Griffin! And I am only 33!
All the money she has and all the future money she will have who
cares is she acts like an idiot. There are so many people with problems out there but do not have the assets she has.
This goes for all the poor little rich people out there.
Money may not buy happiness but it makes the misery easier to handle .
Hi Brittany, my name is Mark. I'm 28 years old and financially secure with my own home. I live New York state. My friends tell me I'm very handsome. I think I could be the person to turn your life around. You can email me at my name on aol. You won't be dissapointed. Sincerely, Mark J
If her fans care for her so much and they want everyone to leave Brittey alone Why dont demand she gets help? Brittey thinks it a game and her fans are thinking it a fun game too!
No one is going to help her. They need to lock her until and not let her leave until she can get better!
Hay Brittany I now what you are going through because my husband is just like your ex-husband demanding about everthing and running the money to Brittany.
From your fan,
Lesley Faye Hunley
How could someone even pass judgement on someone's life. Britney, get you sh&% together, get yo kids back and enjoy life for what it's worth. Don't let the Media tear you down just because you had a couple of mishaps in your life. and never let them seed you sweat!!!! cause if you do, they are going to hound you like a dog in heat. Stay cool and stay focus on the future.
I think that is sick and hateful. There is to much hate in the world. Im sure we all know someone we love in trouble.
"Part of the business" - how terribly sad that a woman in her twenties has a obit already in place for her demise. Photogs are going to drive her to the edge and push it over. If the media really, truly cared about Britney as a person, they'd leave her the hell alone.
I'm not so sure what the big deal is here. Yeah people like Britney Spears are a waste of society but they don't deserve to be handed their death sentence just because of their track record. I just feel so bad for her children, they're truely the ones who suffer the most through all the garbage and chaos of their parents' lives. In either case though, just leave it be because whatever is going to happen will.
as long as we keep wanting to know about her the more the junk papers will write. let the girl live her life and leave her alone. the more the pictures are taken the more she will also be around.if no one takes her picture or fallow her maybe she will quit also. god bless them 2 boys
This is just horrible! Even IF they write it ahead of time to be "prepared" dont advertise it!!! My god! Yes she may have her issues and problems but she is HUMAN. I wonder how the writers and editors would react if I wrote an obit about them right now. Hmmm..
I am thinking about doing that. Maybe they will get it that no matter who the person is everyone has feelings!! Disgusting and disrespectful!
leav3 britney alon3 the chic is human!!!
How do they all sleep at night, what goes around comes around, and I hope people like this gets it three times over.They are a sick bunch of unconsiderate people.
atleast their are alot of people who care about you brit,so respect yourself too en you fans en do something,get out of this dark room you are roaming in!think about your children en your future.emily same age as you in the same situation +two kids its not the end of life.
As a former staff writer and reporter for the Associated Press, I must defend the writing of Britney Spears' obituary. It is standard practice for the company to write notable obits in advance. Given Spears' increasingly bizarre and self-destructive behavior over the past few years, I think it is smart for the AP to have this information in hand so it can be released as soon as possible upon Spears' demise. I think the company is being both responsible and realistic.
I think the Associated Press is being both realistic and responsible in light of Britney Spears' ever-increasing bizarre and self-destructive behavior.
I think that the press has Coused the problems that she has had amd does have now . You can stand three blocks away and take a pictures of her privates. She didn't even KNOW that that the snoops did it. If you really think about it!!!!! What has she done to her children that is abuse Just leave her alone Crap!
Like...OH..my..God!!!!...THIS HAS GONE PAST TOO FAR...THE MEDIA NEEDS TO BE STOPPED...Brittany is not any different than anyone else....START REPORTING NEWS...like...how someone saved someone's else's life, or what new star was discovered...not YELLOW JOURNALISM...LEAVE the stars to their stages and stop making drama where it doesn't exist...
It is usual practice for the press to have obituaries prepared for people in the spotlight, just as it is usual to have headlines prepared to go to press should a particular party win a political election or not. I think we are probably missing the main issue here. This young woman's behaviour profile would have to suggest that she is suffering from a mental illness, one which can be treated. Take for example her drinking and pill popping, is this bad behaviour or an attempt to control distressing symptoms? Her erratic behaviour with her children, is this bad behaviour or something else? Sadly, if this is the case, the public's response shows us that in general as a society we still dont really believe in mental illness. We still regard many of the symptoms as "bad behaviour" and that people can in fact simply control those symptoms, "pull their socks up", "stop thinking about themselves" and so forth. If we understood Britney Spears behaviour as symptomatic of a mental illness and something for which she needs treatment, would we regard her differently? Would we regard anyone we understood to have a mental illness differently? Is the feeding frenzy that we see the press and fellow bloggers going on about Britney just another expression of our lack of compassion and understanding as a society for those who suffer from mental illness? The tragedy is that celebrities must live out their lives in public. Let's hope some good comes of this and we don't simply do the usual whipping boy thing and let yet another public figure be punished for our own lack of understanding, tolerance and compassion.
nanny- said:( what this person said)
U guys are just tooo frkn much....yes, shes going thru a rough time in life, like u retards never have.... but y dont u add the whole world in ur face and putting u down left and right and especially marrying that asswhole that now things got flipped over to him being the best dad in the world...go fkn figure....he used her for her money and fame...and now this shyt...leave the girl alone and let her fix herself without the negativity and in her face 24/7......
--------------------------------------
i really think her mother need to
help her dont give up on her .she carying for help
so her mother and her x-husben should help her!!
This is what happends to kids that grow up to fast and has to much money to soon,only way Brittney will clean herself up is if she really wants it for herself she can't do it for NOBODY eles but herself and unfortunatly cleaning herself up for kids is not enough she has to do it for her owen self...
for those who've posted negative comments:LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!! bad enough she had to deal with the fact that her leech of an ex-husband is now portrayed as being a great parent(great parent my !@#$)she needs help.her parents need to put their differences aside and help that girl pronto.if and when britney gets help she needs to focus on her kids and less on what the media thinks of her.and btw,the associated press needs to stop.she is not even in the ground yet and they are already writing her obituary!@#$%^&.i understand if that is a common practice,but c'mon now this is plain ole sick.
Brittney need reality check with the drugs,alcohol,and late night clubing and not care what her family and friend warn her that she holding on the tip of the rope soon she will let go of the rope she will fall hard landing painful dead.

WHY DONT YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT UR OWN LIFES AND LIVE THE GIRL ALONE !!!!
I LOVE YOU BRITNEY PLEASE GET BETTER DONT LET THE PAPARRZI RUIN YOUR AMAZING LIFE THINK OF UR LITTLE BOYS THERE ARE BEAUTIFULL....
BUBI STEF XOXOXO EMAIL ME IF U READ THIS PLZ
I hate this new format,,its really fiddly & a pain in my arse! Bring back the old way,,it was easier to navigate,,and i enjoyed reading everyones comments even the phsyco negative ones LOL!
As for the issue at hand,
I think its discusting, that the press are allowed to do such a thing,,someone has to be answerable!
talk about pushing someone to the edge,
i wonder if princess di & anna nicole smith & maybe marilyn monroe are all sitting up there thinking,,,"here comes another one of us" Media disasters,,,
If britney isnt able,,,,then i think her family should be sueing the butts of whoever is responsible,,
Hope this makes the blog,, cant remember to type it all again,
have a great day people :)
I think it's sad and a little unethical that this is the way the media operates.
As for Britney, I hope that someone who cares about her can get her the help she so obviously needs...before it's too late.
Also, I have a question for those of you who are posting things regarding how much you dislike Britney, that she's pathetic or that you hate her or how sick you are of hearing about her - you know who you are, the ones with all the negative comments. Why are you posting on a blog ABOUT BRITNEY if you despise her so much or are so sick of hearing about her? You quite obviously came to read about her. If you're sick of her, why bother? How can someone you don't know, have such impact on your life, to cause so much anger and disdain? I think it is unfair for people to say that she doesn't care about her kids - we only know what the media tells us - we aren't in her shoes - nor do ANY of us REALLY know what is going on in her life...so I say wish her well or leave her alone.
I'd also like to add...Matina Pentes...
WAY TO GO!!! What a wonderfully written and (hopefully for others) thought provoking comment! I, for one, am on the same page as you! Would people be judging her in such a negative way if they were told that her behaviour was symptomatic of some type of cancer she was suffering from? Not likely. Yet so many seem not to care or are unable to show compassion or understanding for someone who quite obviously is suffering from some form of mental illness.
this is too sad...where are her parents, her church...
talk about a needed intervention...she needs HELP even if it is forced, court ordered etc...
i will pray for her, as i said this is very sad, ane even
sadder we would write such a thing to be prepared....
spend that time and energy preparing her to cope.
god help us all.
We made her
Today we break her
I also will pray for her because I feel her pain and would love to see her get help. Those little boys are so precious, they need their mother...
Having been a person who has had severe depression and anxiety on and off for my entire life, I can understand, somewhat, of what Britney is going through. But the one thing I do know is that you really have to hit rock bottom before you can start working your way back to the top. I don't believe she is getting the right type of help. As far as the obituary being written, so what? It may be creepy for some but what is the big deal? I say the only time you should concern yourself with that stuff is if it's happening to you personally. For the life of me, I can't understand what makes people so hungry for information about celebrities. They are people just like the rest of us; except they are almost never over-worked and under paid!
I too hope Britney will see this story and realize what is happening to her. I don't think she has hit rock bottom yet, but is not far off. She needs some serious help and fast. Her sweet little boys need their Mother.
well i think this is just sick , if people {the press} would leave her to hell alone maybe she would grow up and see what she has. and kevins no better she didnt act like this before him. she just need some alone time to grow up love her kids and forget men for awhile.
Britney darling, I want you to listen to me...I also came from a media background and had the taste of the good life, but my parents had the wisdom to govern and warn me about the negative effects...You are beautiful and blessed! Your boys need you, now and always, be their beacon in their lives.Dr. Phil,wants to help you....go with your good gut instincts on things...I love you, and want you to BE THE GREATEST GAL THAT EVER WAS....Love, Alexandra Manolesco-Ami
i know that most of you think this is terrible. a) boo hoo cry me a river build a bridge and get over it because that girl (note the fact that i did not call her a "woman" due to her lack of responsiblity) has gone so insane the past few years that no one should be surprised by this. b) like someone else said, most big press companies prepare obituaries for big stars all the time, so no big deal. c) its kinda like when married couples prepare wills and death folders, you never wish it to happen but its good to prepare for it especially if a lot of work will be needed otherwise. and d) i know that Britney was once America's pop princess and big deal, and to be honest her music is still good but her behavior, as a celebrity and role model for those growing up with her in the spot light, is totally unacceptable on all levels! even if she's famous. so really if you're going to support and defend her at this point then all you're doing is feeding the fire, with kerosine.
This is so sick minded. The media should back off of her and let her live her life before she loses it like Princess Diana. Maybe there's some underlying meaning to the obituary? We should all have hope and pray for Brittany instead of ridiculing her every move!
i am missing u
i am missing u
As the British say....This is totally hideous,bloody sick....everyone needs to look at there own lives and clean it up before watching media on this bullshit...Why we have soldiers over seas fighing for us....Does anyone really need to worry over Brit-when we should be thinking more of our society and where it is going....People just pray is all I can say and stop worrying over her lifestyle...everything will turn out the way it should in the long run. As for her tacky British accent...she really needs to work on that! haha
You guys need to stop this!!!!!! I think you forget that she is also a person and has children. You also will be judged for how you treat people. Just because she is a celebrity doesn't make her immortal or even perfect. She isn't perfect. Are you telling me that you are?? Cause thats a bunch of BS if you really believe that you are. Get a life and start looking in your own back yard if it's so damn picture perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 8 year old agrees with me. He's read a few of the comments on here, by accident. And he doesn't think that talking about someone that is still alive that they are dead or wishing them dead. You need to really STOP ALREADY!!
Newspapers almost always write obits for celebrities while they're alive. It doesn't mean she's at death's door OR that the AP would like her to be, it just means she's famous enough that her death would warrent obit. Writers often put a celebrity's bio together in advance so that when an obit IS neccessary, all the groundwork has been done and they can publish a longish, well-researched article immediately. This isn't invasive papparazzi behaviour, I'll bet the AP has incomplete obits for a lot of celebs.
Tamsey: I wouldn't put Britney in the same sentence as Princess Dianna. Britney has done nothing to deserve that accolade. Dianna was sweet, warm to causes and a great humanitarian, Britney is all of the opposites.
May Britney's sole rest in peace..!!!
leave britney alone she makes good music, and we al love them, so get of her case. and if she was to die now we'll all miss her "trashy ways" dut yah can't blame a girl for trying.
All media has an obit for any celebrity or well known person in case of an unexpected death. There was probably an obit in place for Britney when she first became a known person.
I'm sorry but that's going WAY too far to try and give Britney a wake-up call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget how shitty Kevin Federline was to Britney WHILE they were married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did it ever occur to you guys that she's a VERY SMART woman and knows exactly what she is doing. Federline is just playing a fucking role! He's a sleeze ball and nothing will change that!!!!!!!!!!!! He's a BIG loser and hiding under Britney's coat tail and doing a GREAT "acting job" of being the good father when deep down he is NOT, he just wants Britney's fucking money!!!!!!!!!! Maybe she's being the way she is on purpose to punish Federline for NOT being there during the marriage!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to write YOUR funeral arrangements!!!!!!!!!!!!
