Britney Spears in East Dulwich? (Lounged)

[newsummer]

I am a bit sad these days to see Brtiney's problems in all the magazines...Just got the idea she should escape LA to move here in east dulwich. I am fine to take her in, i have a study room she can sleep in. I think it would be her perfect retreat in our lovely and quiet area, far from paparazzos from LA. What do you think my dear neighbours?

[KalamityKel]

U could try to adopt a Brit rather than a Yank... u know look after our own first and all that... is Amy still "in house"?

Darling Newsummer,

You are too kind, but as you are offering, I should imagine that a couple of weeks going cold turkey in your coal hole would do the young lady the world of good!

Moving this to the Lounge area

I feel really sorry for her. It's painful watching her implode in public.

[cdonline]

I feel some sympathy for the girl.

Who knew that under that blonde hair was the alien spam head shocker that we all had to see.

[LostThePlot]

Must say the current Single's lyrics (You want a piece of me) are very good. OK, bit more pop than I care for, but still good IMHO. Yep agree with you Chav, pity to see someone driven to this by the Paps.

I have a million times more sympathy for Britney than I do for Amy Winohouse!

Why? - not judging - just interested.

[Keef]

Because Amy boasted to us all that she wouldn't go to rehab, and is basically just an annoying girl with too much money. Britney has disintegrated very publicly, and is now seperated from her kids and obviously needs help.

[KalamityKel]

hmmmm not sure on that :s

[SeanMacGabhann]

Isn't Amy a bit of an easy target? And if we look at the old-skool legends (your Keef Richards et al) isn't Amy just a modern version.. She lives as she sings, by and large, and has gone a bit too far and needs help

Britney on the other hand - hmm. I'm never happy with the Little Miss Sunshine (great film btw) world where parent's push kids into "stardom". See also pretty much any of the Jacksons. But despite risque early singles Britey has portrayed a "wholesome" image which was untenable. As it falls apart I feel for the human being - but the values that put her there may be under a smidge more scrutiny

I said as soon as she had an early single out - was it something like "Lucky"? - that she was in trouble. I don't think someone that young in that position has many real allies

[mightyroar]

I feel sorry for both of them

but Amy has some serious musical talent. her voice is amazing.

whereas Britney can dance, can sing a bit, gets well produced, looked nice in a school uniform.

I feel so sorry for Britney (not enough to employ her as an au pair you understand), she was virtually sold into slavery by her mother, and has genuine paralels (how am I to be expected to spell that damn word with drink taken?) with Michael Jackson. Amy on the other hand I feel sorry for because she will be finding it hard to work out who her real friends are, and is probably receiving threatening emails from people who are clearly local to her. She is probably feeling genuinely threatened. It is Amys children I feel sorry for, they didn't ask for any of this, and who will come to Freya's birthday party? (hic...thud...crash)...

it's like my post was run through DULWICHMUMTRANSLATOR software

Amy does not have any children.....Britney does.

I think Dulwich Mum needs to read 'Heat' a bit more;-)

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Maybe she could stay at Tom the mad scientists place?

[KalamityKel]

Amy's lifestyle is something ppl look up - I have a friend who live on the floor below her and he thinks her "madness" is incredibly kool, even the odd stuff she does. Yes I know I quite clearly have strange friends... but apparently, according to many a person in the gay community, she is much respected. Whereas... Britney... does anyone really care about her? :s

Tis a strange world we live in.

*wanders off munching toast*

Why does it matter if people respect her or not, she's a human going through a crap time. Agree with the parents pushing her in to stardom bit, which reminds me, Amy's dad is a knob, he was moaning about her being done for possession as it might hurt her career in America... so she should be above the law because she's famous? I make no judgement about people doing drugs, but don't moan about it if it comes back and bites you in the arse!
