No, Britney is NOT an actress. She was a performer. As ridiculous as LL is, she IS an actress.

Britney= pop singer/dancer; thinks she can act

LL= one time promising actress; tried to be a pop singer/performer

You say Britney is not an actress? What in the hell is Lindsey Blohan? Linds cannot act worth a s—!!! Yet she takes the parts and beleives she is an actress. I think it is great Britney’s family are helping her and this sounds good for her. And I can promise you one thing what Britney does on this show will not be half as bad as coke head’s parts in movies. Give Britney a break, she is getting treatment and wants to work and get her life back in order. Best wishes to her!

hi vera,
i have to disagree with you on this one. for once, brit’s peeps don’t sound too crazy to me. stuff like this happens all the time in tv/film. how many times have we heard “i’m having dinner/lunch with so-and-so, can you get your script/ass over asap?”

ok nevermind. i’m seriously confused. My “accent” comment was to mairead, but now I can’t find her original comment. I have no idea what I’m talking about now! Maybe I was smoking with Mary Ann (Dawn Wells)!

See I can’t stand fake British accents. I’m American and I never notice a fake american accent, it always sounds fine to me. But that could be because Americans themselves sometimes butcher their own accent and we have about 100 dialects depending on what state/part of town your in. So if it’s a little off I don’t even notice anymore.

Fake British accents though…ugh. Especially when they try to sound noble. They’re distracting, annoying, and forced. blech!

“We were literally in the middle of a re-write of that script” makes it sound to me like they just busted their asses to put the finishing touches on it and press print. It doesn’t sound like there was a writers sweatshop slaving over the creation of a part for Britney.

And Alicia Silverstone, whatever. You’re a serious actress who can’t possibly get into the mind and depth of a dermotologist when there’s even the chance of distraction around you. I totally get it.

She’s so erratic. Maybe they were afraid she would change her mind.

This is the kind of fawning a movie director does when Tom Sizemore or Robert Downey Jr is looking to make a comeback or Clive Davis does for Whitney.

But this, this is akin to Scorcese bending over backwards for Lilo. How long do you think it would have taken his peeps to hang up on White Oprah?

I don’t think anyone here is knocking Brit for trying, more like wondering why in the hell these fools are going along with it.
