    Britney Spears...mental breakdown or carefully planned publicity?

    Whacha think?

    Could this all be a carefully planned publicity stunt, leading up to the release of her new CD? Or has she lost her marbles?

    I'm voting for mental break down. I think she is finally showing her true colors.

    It seems not to have made the news here.
    At least not the BBC anyhow.

    You can't plan something that funny. It just sort of happens.

    Re: Britney Spears...mental breakdown or carefully planned publicity?

    I just read an article about here last week, that says she spends all her money without saving hardly anything, or putting anything away for your kids future. They said her income is close to 3/4 million $/month.

    An excerpt from the article:

    Court papers released Thursday in Britney Spears' custody dispute with Kevin Federline show she spends lavishly on clothes and entertainment, and doesn't save or invest any of her roughly $737,000 monthly income.

    Spears' monthly expenses include $49,267 in mortgage for two houses, $16,000 for clothes and $102,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacation, according to her financial declaration.


    Here is a link to the full story.

    Quote from an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

    Spears was unclear when Seacrest asked how often she would see the boys.

    "That's, like, all in the court," she said. "Stuff like that, my lawyers know all that stuff."

    Stuff??!!!!

    No wonder she was rarely interviewed before.

    IMO neither...

    It's definitely not a planned publicity stunt, and she's obviously a bit messed up right now. Uh, make that quite a bit. But nuts? I doubt it...

    No mainstream record (er, music) label in their right mind would try marketing one of their stars with a publicity campaign based on irrational and rude behavior. Turns out her PR and label people are furious with what's happening.

    She also walked out in the middle of her latest video shoot, forcing the director to use a body-double for much of the footage (how'd you like to have that credit on your resume?).

    That could have been a marketing disaster, and what's happening is the opposite of publicity planning: they're doing damage control big time...

    I think that's it. She's simply fed up with behaving like the All-American Pop Princess she was packaged as, and has reverted to her roots. I'm sure the drugs and alcohol don't help matters, either...

    I think you hit the nail on the head. She is tired of being the good girl. Which she probably never was to begin with.

    Re: Britney Spears...mental breakdown or carefully planned publicity?

    there is something seriously wrong with anyone who would let her adopt when her biological children had been removed. I don't think she is reverting to her trailor park ways. I recall an early interview with her in rolling stone that talked about how she was a "stage kid" from very early and how her parents were firmly middle class. I am guessing that she was never really allowed a childhood and so never had an opportunity to grow up. when she finally broke free of the control of her parents she began to crumble. for a while her money kept all of that hidden, but eventually it all went pear shaped. what she needs is good role models, but the problem would be that she has alienated them all.

    adoptions false, you can't adopt from China if you are under 30 and unmarried, at least that's what they tell me on the radio. Also, according to my radio, she's not knocked up again.

    However, I did just hear she went shopping for some new underwear, and they told her she couldn't try them on, you just have to buy them, can't take them in the dressing room, and she dropped trou and tried them on in the middle of the store...

    Nobody knows for sure what happened to Britney, depression is a very delicate state, a person is very vulnerable during this period and is able to do literally everything. I went through depression, too, and managed to overcome it only due to family support, cannabidiol and lokey vaporizer .

    Re: Britney Spears...mental breakdown or carefully planned publicity?

    I can't say I am a big fan of her music but things she does really scare me. Also, I believe it's impossible to get into her thoughts as celebrities have quite specific problems. For example, they don't have to count money to buy some fresh Gucci collection. But if you suffer with it click here to learn more. And before you start shaming me I want to say that replica has the best quality on the market

    Re: Britney Spears...mental breakdown or carefully planned publicity?

    I read about Britney Spears on several entertainment news sites https://streamingsites.com/entertainment-news/. Her private turmoil has led to several court hearings, spawned viral hashtags and fueled frantic fan speculation about her well-being. Britney is a good singer, and I do hope, she will overcome all er issues and will get back on the scene.
