So, Britney Spears has reentered some rehab facility or other. And maybe the Post's hope that she'll stay there until we win in Iraq will pan out this time; according to TMZ, this is Britney's "last chance" before K-Fed goes looking for full custody.
It's at times like these when we remember a marginally more innocent era—the dawning days of Britney's marriage, when all the world and love was new. Oh, 2004!
With her "letter to the Fans" in October, 2004, Britney Spears made it clear that she was taking stock and making some serious changes in her life. And—had we only seen it then!—seeds were being planted that would one day grow to bald, bedraggled fruition.
I am also going to take some time off to enjoy life. I've actually learned to say "NO!" With this newly found freedom, its like people don't know how to act around me. Should we talk to her like we did when she was 16 or like the Icon everyone says she is? My prerogative right now is to just chill & let all of the other overexposed blondes on the cover of Us Weekly be your entertainment... GOOD LUCK GIRLS!! I'm sorry that my life seemed like it was all over the place the past 2 years, it's probably because IT WAS! I understand now what they mean when they talk about child stars. Going & going & going is all I've ever known since I was 15 years old. It's amazing what advisors will push you to do, even if it means taking a naive, young, blonde girl & putting her on the cover of every magazine.With those words, Britney shook off the shackles of her advisors, her youth, her naivete, and perhaps most importantly, her blondeness. Oh, Britney. You're not a girl. But will you ever grow to truly be a woman?
We actually don't have much advice for you. (We're no experts!) But we do remember some wise words by another crazy bald woman, a lady named Sinead O'Connor. (You might not have heard of her, she's really old now.) But she once wrote a song about getting famous young and having babies, which said: "You know how it is, and how a pregnancy can change you." So after the group therapy session, and the mandatory crafts hour, and whatever the fuck else they'll make you do in rehab—umm, what are they treating you for exactly, anyway?—why don't you sit down with some Sinead and have a good cry? Then disappear. The photographers and the tweens and the rest of us, yes even us, maybe even especially us, will still love you later.
Britney Back In Rehab [TMZ]
Britney's Letter To Fans October 15, 2004 [Britney Spears]

All Britney news subject to change when Happy Hour rolls around.
K-Fed with full custody? They'd be better off with Howard K. Stern.
Won't somebody please think of the children!
Team K-Fed.
Wouldn't it be amazing if it actually turned out that K-Fed was the good influence on our Brit and was actually the one holding this crazy meltdown together? I just blew my own mind.
All the signs pointing to this breakdown were present in that space astronaut/retrieving the titanic diamond video...where were the "experts, who have not treated Ms. Spears" then?
OLD MEME.
And me calling it Old Meme is Old Meme.
If Brit was poor and unknown she'd be involuntarily committed by now and pumped full of so much Thorazine she wouldn't notice the cameras anymore. Of course, if she were poor and unknown with two kids she would be working at a Winn Dixie in Louisiana and nobody would give a shit.
uh, nobody does give a shit.
i don't think brit's up to winn dixie's lofty standards bette. i see her more being a dollar general kinda girl.
and we'd never lock her up...we love our balls-out crazy ass women in louisiana!
God, this is hardly worth the time it takes to put my "crack" pipe down and type. But I will say this. I was concerned when I lost Anna N. To whom would I look in those times when my own life spun precariously out of control and I would think, "Eh, I could be worse..."??!
Thank you, Britney. Thank you.
Does that picture mean that Lucy Van Pelt is going to be Britney's shrink in rehab? Because there's going to be some "tough love" going on there.
K-Fed is a joke, that is true, but I don't think excessive pro-creation and being a bad rapper prevent him from being a responsible parent. Has he passed out in a nightclub yet? Vomited in public? Had his picture taken sans pants? Let him keep the kids for now... at least he had the common sense not to let them see their newly shorn meltdown mom when she showed up at his house on Friday night.
TEAM KFED!!!
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops?
--B. Spears, Jive Records, 2000
Wow, if passing out in a nightclub and getting trashed one night and flashing your hot puss for the crowd means you're not a good parent, all I can say is, Thank God I don't have kids.
Just noticed John Elvis' little picture (can't remember technical term). So ironic on a Britney post to have a fully grown bush shot.
John Elvis - i keep on getting distracted by that big pussy as your icon... can't... focus...
Josh, you've just given me a new sense of respect for Britney...
How she suffers! She knew all along! Didn't we see the warnings? The cries for help?
...and now I've lost it.
SOmetimes I feel bad for Poor Britney I think we should leave her alone, I am serious!
by the way chk out:

K-Fed on diaper duty? PooPooZao!!!
(Sorry. Had to.)
Paris is all like, "Email my heart, Brit!"
It's been hours seems like days, since you went away,
And all I do is check the screen to see if you're ok.
You don't answer when I phone, guess you wanna be left alone.
So I'm sending my heart, my soul, and this is what I'll say:
I'm sorry, oh so sorry, can't you give me one more chance to make it all up to you.
E-mail my heart and say our love will never die
and that I know you're out there and I know that you still care.
Email me back and say our love will stay alive.
Forever, Email my heart.
she forgot "pop out a few kids, be sexually permiscuous as hell, go effing nuts, and i don't know ... shave my head? yeah, i'll be back in a few years, see ya'll later!"
i don't know if she thought that a statement like that meant she was untouchable or that what she did from then on didn't matter to a star-news hungry public, but meh.
She's clutching that poor dog again - does that mean she gets to take him with her in/out/in/out/into rehab?
before the whole "third time = charm" thing she took the crazy train over to kfed's and bashed a SUV with a giant green umbrella. classy.
It's just after 2 in Cali, has she bugged out of Promises yet again?
Great graphic!
Get well soon.
