Can it get any worse??? Britney Spears...

[Stacerita]

Has it really come to this? Have I actually just posted an opinion about Britney Spears? God help me.

I was about to post, but remembered I was posting about Britney, then decided not to post afterall. I may not have a lot, but I have my dignity.

Uhhh, that most likely is what your computer would use to open the file with. Do you have Photoshop Elements installed?

Nope. Most definitely not installed on this computer.

This is the info my browser gives (aside from the url and image size) when I right click:

File change date and time: 2006:05:19 14:44:22
Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 Windows

No Exif info given either.

".......my son just dropped the knife he was playing with, can I have a clean one"

I know that was really mean, but so much fun

o.k. that was funny

That's weird. When I right click on it, I don't see photoshop mentioned anywhere in the properties

Honestly? I think she brings the attention on herself and likes it. I think she's playing the media and keeping them interested in her until she is ready to get back into singing. They say there is no bad publicity, and lets face it, she's not fading into the background at all so it's working like a charm. If she truly wanted to be able to get out without being embarrassed in public by paparazzi she would be able to find a way. Other famous mothers like Catharine Zeta Jones, Denise Richards, Brooke Shields, Gwenyth Paltrow - they all seem to be able to go out in public with their children without creating a media circus out of the event.

The picture looks like it has been photoshopped, although I could be wrong. When I right click it I get the photo url with the following info:

Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 Windows

Kinda looks like the head has been pasted on another body. And isn't Sean Preston older than the baby pictured? I don't know. Who knows?

No, this was taken the day she tripped and "almost dropped" the baby. Same outfits. She went into this restaurant to cry afterward. http://www.usmagazine.com/blog/2006/05/19/britney-breaks-down/

I am using Opera version 8.54 as my browser when I right click and get the Photoshop Elements info. When I use Internet Explorer I don't get any of that information. Just the regular url and image size.

She had the baby at the end of September so he would be around 8 months old now which is what that baby looks to be. The hair color on the baby is the same as the other pics too. The females head seems to fit the body. Plus there is a bunch of hair that is sitting on the shoulders.
Doesnt look photoshopped at all to me.

I always thought she had a strong willed Mama though and I wonder why she hasn't been giving her daughter Britney any guidance.

Different versions of Windows will show different things in properties. I downloaded the file and the EXIF information shows that it was modified by Photoshop Elements 3.0, so it's been 'saved' via that software but I don't think it's been modified. I looked for different pixelation around important features in the photo and didn't see anything questionable. So if it was edited, it was done by someone that's good.

Yes, I think the media is way too involved in every little aspect of her parenting. And yes, parents of small children get overwhelmed, her included.

BUT HAVE ANY OF YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU WERE OVERWHELMED?!!!

That is not being overwhelmed at having a child - mismatched socks or a spit-up on shirt is. A STRAPPED BLACK BRA WITH A WHITE HALTER? Not to mention pants that must have hit no higher than the top of her thighs. That is nothing but trying to get attention. And if its negative attention she gets, she asked for it and is old enough to know better.

I don't believe I opened this to begin with, and then that I am adding my .02 to it but here it goes.....

I really feel sorry for her. I can only imagine how I would feel if I was constantly under a microscope with the whole world watching everything I did and exaggerating every mistake I made. Her whole self esteem has to be completely shot. Heck I know when I am feeling self conscience about myself, I am a complete cluts and can only imagine how I appear to others .

People need to just leave her alone, her mother as well as the rest of her family need to step up and give her some help. She is a young, first time mother, I know I certainly made my share of mistakes as a parent .

While I'm at it I might as well comment of her poor taste of clothing. While I would never were that particular outfit (can't even imagine how a thong would be comfy while pregnant ) I must say I have seen worse.

No, this was taken the day she tripped and "almost dropped" the baby. Same outfits. She went into this restaurant to cry afterward. http://www.usmagazine.com/blog/2006/05/19/britney-breaks-down/

yep, same day

 

[hentob]

This is the same outfit on her (and the baby) as when she nearly fell with the glass in her hand. It looks like her mascara is smudged (from crying maybe ) I read that she was quite shaken after the near dropping of her glass

People...I am kidding.

I am sure she was upset that she nearly dropped her baby and the photographer who to the picture in the original post took full advantage of her despair.

Here is a link to the pic right before she fell. Aren't the outfits the same?

Go ahead, Caption this!

What's the problem now? I already made a halter top out of a napkin for you, and you want me to cover up more?

 

[ChrisnSteph]

I personally have problems with embroidered/appliqued sweaters, but I certainly wouldn't post and mock someone's fashion choices

OMG, I can't stand them either! But I think there is a holiday/embroidered/appliqued sweater-wearing Dis'er here, so we gotta stop hatin'.

 

[Planogirl]

I don't see why anyone cares what Britney wears. Yes, it's ugly but...

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i don't care what she's wearing, i feel bad for all the stress she must be under! at first i was like oh dear she's nuts, but the media keeps picking on her and picking on her. Let the poor gal raise her kids. That baby is adorable!!

I agree. Her baby is such a cutie and appears to be very healthy too. Britney seems to always be with him too.

 

[poohandwendy]

Wow, the picture of her crying...that is really sad. I have had days like that, especially when I was in the beginning of a pregnancy (hormones).

It's no wonder many celebrities end up with broken marriages/relationships, popping pills/booze to get through the day, etc. Seriously, if I were under such a microscope...actually, I just cannot imagine it. I can wonder, but I cannot really put myself there...living it day in and day out. Not really.

No matter how much they are looking for fame and fortune when they start out in the 'business', I can't imagine any of them could comprehend the reality of how much their personal lives will be examined to the nth, ridiculed, torn apart...just for the sake of sating the appetite of a curious public. Mere glimpses in a snapshot...not the whole picture (not even a fraction)...that is what we are judging.

I have to be honest, it humbles me. Because sometimes I see the glamour, the fortune, the fame...and I think of them as 'fortunate'. Yes, in some ways...but in the ways that really count? The privacy...the things I take for granted?

I never have to glance at a magazine cover in a grocery store to see a picture of me at my worst, eating a sloppy burger, flab hanging out...in an outfit I thought looked cute...with a caption that says "Wendy packing on the pounds...sources say she is eating her troubles away!!!" Or a picture on a bad hair day, no makeup, not feeling well...with a caption that says "Wendy's bout with mystery medical crisis, only months to live!" Or a picture of my husband with a female friend..."Wendy's marriage is OVER! Husband's new mistress tells him to leave her or she will walk!!!"

As I have said before, I am not a fan of BS, but man...it cannot be easy having that sort of spotlight on you 24/7. I feel for her and any other people in that situation. I really do. They are not fortunate, they are prisoners to the public. Once the paparazzi sinks their teeth in, they just don't seem to let go. Even if she quit the business today, it wouldn't matter. They would continue hounding her until she went into hiding.

it's a shame.

 

[palmtreegirl]

Well said Wendy, ITA with you.

 

[challada]

Well, I can think of many, many captions here...but I won't mention those.

Here's my take on the situation: Britney had no childhood thanks to her career....she then thinks playing mommy would be kinda fun. Well, it ain't all it's cracked up to be she finds out in the end...but at least the little bugger gets her continued press while she tries to figure out what to do with the rest of her life.

A. No, I don't believe she's "a mommy trying to learn"...she has 24/7 nannies on this kid (remember it was the nanny who dropped him). When there are shots of her at the beach, pool, etc...the only thing she's interested in is her tan...kid is getting tended by the little latin lady in the background.

B. Brit has figured out that the kid is good for publicity. She sets up shots of herself and the kid going places so that she will continue to be in tabloid magazines. She NEEDS the fame...however she gets it.

C. Notice ALL the photographers in the background of this shot. If she wanted a private moment to cry w/her kid, the middle of HappyMeal Land w/a ton of your photographers w/you is NOT the place to do it...get that kid in the front seat of your car and drive away...LOL
