I realize it's her cash. She can use it for toilet paper if she wants.

It's just that I consider the amount money she spends on clothes that usually look like shit and don't cover her bits anyway (how that could add up to $16k is beyond me???). Then I think of what that $16k could do for a charity. It is her money and it is her choice, but man, what an imbalance. What a waste.

I don't want her to feel "guilted" into giving to charity. It would just be nice to see her send a bit more that way (when you consider her monthly income). I want her to want to do it. It would just be a nice statement about humanity.

She should tape some dollar bills together and make money knickers so we don't have anymore sneak peeks at her ovaries.

I agree. I'd love her to want to do it. And it is wasteful...I just hate...I have a friend who has $$$$. Not Britney Spears money, but she's got fuck you money for the rest of her life. Parts of her family (not her immediate family, mind you, her extended family) are of the mind that because she has money, she owes them something. I hate that for her, because at birthdays and holidays if she doesn't go 9 kinds of extravagant they think she's being cheap and stingy with the money she earns. I don't think that's fair to my friend...so I guess that's where my POV comes from. :/
And for 16K a month, you and me both could look effing stunning.

I think you both make valid points. Charity is something that has to come from wanting to do it, and not being pressured into giving. Its not a given that someone with money will use it for good causes (and how many rich people have a lot of money because its in preperty etc and not actual cash-in-the-bank?) And where do you draw the line - how much do you give so that others dont bitch about it, and to which charities? Once some people know you are being generous with money they will circle like vultures (and yes this does include some charities - however good a cause they are).
It would be lovely if she gave big sums of her money to those that need it, but people that demand/expect money to be given by those that are wealthy are no better than the wealthy not giving IMO.

Though 16k and she cant afford panties...

i was never really a fan of britney's music...her voice and general aura annoys the hell out of me, but i won't lie...i loved her when she looked like this:

of course i'm just being shallow, but imho there's not much more than her looks to like her for.

 

[little teaser]

i thought she gave a huge amount to charity, after all she IS supporting k-fed and im sure a large amount of what he makes off brit goes to his other baby mama for child support.

She needs to hit Beyonce up and take a trip to the Wig Crypt.

I was thinking about this the other day and realized that the only time I've found Britney to be attractive is in promo shots. Promo shots that require heavy makeup, proper lighting, direction and photo shopping. I imagine that photo of her is airbrushed heavily. Don't get me wrong, she has all the potential in the world to be as beautiful a woman in real life as in those photos, she just doesn't seem to care anymore. She's a disheveled mess.

I've thought for a long time that she has post-partum depression or even mild psychosis. Her actions are usually so impulsive and irrational. If you read the symptoms of both these conditions, a lot of what she does falls into the categories.

And.. I know her money is hers to waste, but for a woman that always wants to be "sexy" (i.e. Her demanding they change her outfit for the MTV awards and demanding in photoshoots that they change her wardrobe), she always appears as though she's skipped the mirror before walking out the door. If I had that kind of cash, I'd be wearing the best makeup and clothing money could buy.. and don't even get me started on the children.

This woman lost her children by her own negligence.

actually i always kind of had a problem with britney. i didnt like her music, and her looks were just blah to me. so basically i was kinda satisfied when she didnt make any music for quite some time, but unfortunately the media balanced it out with a thorough coverage of everything she does. so basically i cant escape the hype, even though id like to. so heres my 2 cents.

yes, she was a super pop princess and averybody (minus me) adored her to bits. she was on top of that mountain. and then she started to go down. whatever the reasons, her marriages, her children, psychological problems, drug problems, i dont even remember all the stuff, she had quite some stress going on in her private life.

if i was a super pop princess with such problems i would listen to what my well paid assistants, managers et al were saying, get into therapy, take a step down, sort my life out, and either enjoy a wonderful life as a rich woman who was great once, or i waited until i was ready for show biz again and then hit them when i was 100% again.

not what brits doing.

(also id like to add that everybody looks great in promotional pictures with heavy makeup lights and photoshop, so thats not exactly a talent of brits)

 

[flowerhead]

She's a pretty girl, but the strange thing about Britney is that she ONLY looks good when she's skinny. You can't say that about many women.

Personally, if I had that much money I'd give more away, but it is her own to do with as she chooses. I just wish she'd choose to put some of it away. She needs to learn from people like Michael Jackson and secure her own future. You can't tell me she'd even feel it if she put something away for her future.

 

[lipstickandhate]

Brit has always reminded me of a cocker spaniel facially. Don't know why but that's all I can think of when I see a picture of her.

At this point, she needs a serious intervention. I was just looking at pics of her shopping for chandeliers while her kids sat in the car w/someone else. SPF's teeth are horrific- poor child's front teeth are literally rotten.

She's a mess and she's going to damage her children. I'm more than willing to be she's bi-polar or borderline.

I vaguely remember something about her giving them Coke in their bottles.

I've always figured she has hugely bad, untreated post-partum

That pic in the 1st post is NEW pic

Holly wonders of photoshop!

 

[purrtykitty]

i'm not a hardcore britney fan, and i agree with much of what has been said. it would be nice if she would spend some of that $737K monthly income and get herself some professional help...get herself back on track. i never thought i'd see the day when k-fed would be the more responsible parent.

i'm really pulling for her, especially since there are kids involved.

 

[MiCHiE]

I just can't believe she doesn't sock any of it away in savings....

 

[j_absinthe]

Well, with her album being at #1, you can throw any hopes of her getting her shit together anytime soon away.

I'm no Britney music fan, but last night I watched her VMAs performance in 2001 (where she performed "Slave" with that snake around her shoulders) compared to the one in 2007.

I mean, there was just no comparing! In 2001, she was an amazing performer and gave it her all, in 2007 she looked like a wasted away has been who didn't even want to be be on stage. She put no effort into her dancing or singing for that matter.

I'm amazed MTV even gave her a performance slot.
