Slow News Day? “Leave Britney Alone!”
Nov 13th, 2007 by What's Gotta Go
Honestly, I am no Britney Spears fan, but geez, we all gotta give her a break. This lady is not the sharpest tool the shed, and it is readily apparent that her parenting skills are lacking, that is no question. Driving abilities? Let’s just say I am happy to not be sharing the road with her down in Southern Cal. All I am saying is that with the scrutiny she is under, I am sure most of us would fail the test.
Today it is front page “headline” news that she ran a red light while driving in Hollywood. Sheesh. Ok, that is bad driving, but come on, who out there hasn’t accidentally done this at last once in their life. Yes, it is terrible that her kids were in the car and that she might have caused an injury ridden accident, but isn’t that true of when anyone runs a red light or stop sign?
I went and looked at the video, and yes, she did in fact consciously push through that light. Did you happen to notice photogs gathered around her car in the middle of traffic with flashes constantly firing? Literally in front of her car and right in the traffic. In the very same tape you can hear her honking at these pap’s to get out of the way. I would venture to say that all that activity was a bit distracting for safe driving habits, perhaps? Seems a bit hypocritical to be pointing the finger of scorn so vehemently when such actions are considered just part of the job for those that are pushing this very report.
Again, I am no fan of the lady, definitely no Chris Cocker with a tearful rant about leaving her alone. Really I just get more exasperated over lame news being featured on a global news network.
Well it seems to me that Brit and the news media is getting just what they want out of all this…publicity! You had to click on the news article Jeremy and read it to know she ran a red light, correct? And then you blogged about her as well…with all that is going on with her…she is in the spot light…where in her mind she feel she need to be…sad sad…
I do not even click on articles about her…and have stopped watching ET type shows that fill that sick need for fame of the sad, lost celebs….well I have have watched any coverage on the Osmonds. With Oprah’s show having them on and it being her highest rated show so far this season…THAT says to me that the public wants more Osmond and Osmond type than undie-less Brittney types…JMHO.
And see what you made me do Jeremy…I talked about Brittney thus making her stay in the fore-front of *cough “news”. LOL!
No denying it Ali. I realized my giving in to what they want, but felt my need to vent about the lame headline news was worth it :)
