What a shame is right. You can't even be a popstar and do popstar things anymore. Just think, if this sort of thing had happened in the Seventies we wouldn't have all the great E! True Hollywood Stories to watch now.

apparently Brit-Brit totally disregarded everything the judge had said...

and she doesn't seem depressed by the loss, either:

but she'll be flashing people on the town in no time!

I don't know why people are being gleeful. I think it is rather sad. No doubt the judge is doing the best thing, and hopefully the father is the much better parent. But even though the judge is probably right, it is a very sad situation. I just feel sorry for her - certainly not smug and gleeful.

I'm most certainly not gleeful.
I rolled my eyes in the post because of the stupidity of the situation.

I think it's a good thing the kids were taken out of her custody, based on what I've read (though who knows how much of that is true or not). Anyone who has taken the steps (or lack of steps/initiative) that she has, shouldn't be allowed to continue. I agree, and hope the father is a better parent.

It's not glee I'm expressing, so much as a "thank God someone took some action, rather than continuing to allow her to do what she does".

So my OP (what a shame Rolling Eyes ) was kind of meant as... yes it's a shame that the situation reached what it did, but I don't feel bad for Britney herself. I do feel bad for her children, but not for her. As far as I'm concerned, she had many opportunities to turn things around, and chose not to. It seems like, for this time, the better of the two parents has custody, and hopefully things go for the better now.

You can take the girl out of the trailer park; but you can't take the trailer

She's certainly a trainwreck, and who'd've thunk that Kevin Federline would prove to be the responsible one in that relationship. I'm surprised it took this long, though of course if it were the father misbehaving, the kids would've been gone in a snap, never to return. She's one of a great many maladjusted celebrities who was exploited as a kid and who never learned how to think or be responsible.

Not gleeful, bur certainly amused. These people are entertainers, right? They have no other meaning for their existence. She can't make good music, so she might as well be a clown.

Seriously, she has no other purpose. Her life is meaningless if we don't laugh. Who would take the pity option here? The kids were destined to be victims right from their conception. No surprise at all.

I am not sure that taking the kids out of her hands and putting them in his hands will be any better for the children, to be honest.

Neither of them are fit for parents.

As for support - you only need to pay if you can afford it. If you can't.. they can't force you.

Yeah, they'll just throw your ass in jail instead Smile

To be fair, Federline already has 27 other children, so he might be a fit parent. Wink
