Poor Britney Spears. She’s still being trotted out onstage to perform remedially choreographed moves when she’d rather just have a hot derg. Meanwhile, Sam Lufti continues to hound her to testify in his lawsuit, and Kellan Lutz has denied her request to appear in her new music video. This is all very depressing, yes, but in Touch has also published a new story, which alleges that what Britney really wants to do most in life is exactly what her father and conservator, Jamie, absolutely refuses to allow at this point in time; that is, Britney has her heart set upon getting married to beau Jason Trawick and popping out at least three more kids.
She’s got a hit single topping the charts and her once-rocky relationship with boyfriend Jason Trawick is finally on track. Yet a source says Britney Spears still feels deeply dissatisfied — and fears she’ll never be able to do what she believes would make her happiest: become a mother again.
Though Britney desperately wants to marry Jason, 39, and give him a biological child of his own, her dad, Jamie, recalls her horrifying bout with Britney herself said was postpartum depression, which occurred after the birth of her second son, Jayden, and sent her into a downward spirtal that eventually landed her in a mental institution.
Her dad thinks she’s unstable
And though the resons for Britney’s hospitalizatin in 2008 have never been officially disclosed, a source close to Jamie — who has been acting as Britney’s conservator since then — explains that he doesn’t want her to risk a repeat episode by getting pregnant again. While Jamie understands that Britney is “in love with Jason and wants to start a family with him,” the source shares, he’s also trying to be realistic. “He feels she’s still too unstable to even think of having another baby.”
For Britney, who once called pregnancy “empowering” and gushed that seeing the sonogram of her first son Sean was the “best feeling in the world,” it’s no doubt devastating to think that she and Jason may never experience that joy together.
And while she has railed in the past against the legal conservatorship that puts Jamie in charge of bother her professional and personal life, it has never hit so close to home as now. As much as she adores Sean, 5, and Jayden, 4, a pal shares that Britney dearly wants “a big family,” and longs for a little girl she can “dress up and do girlie things with.” More than once, the pal confides, Britney has told Jason that she’d love to have “three more kids.” But now, it appears that for her own safet, Britney may have to put that plan on hold forever.
[From In Touch, print edition]
Do I think this is true? Maybe, but it’s easy to understand why Jamie would want Britney to hold off on jumping into marriage and pregnancy again. While skeptics might assume that Jamie is only interested in keeping Britney on tour and raking in more money, I think he’s truly concerned for her well being as well as that of her already existing two children. If Britney goes off her meds, she could end up institutionalized again, which wouldn’t help anyone, least of all her kids. That doesn’t even take into account the postpartum depression factor, but for the immediate moment, I’m consumed with mental images of Britney, heavily pregnant in bed and yelling, “Y’all get me some Cheetos!”

those performance photos are soooo sad. 🙁
When you put it that way, it’s kind of sad. Poor thing has to work it while she still can to have enough money for the future when she isn’t mentally capable to preform. Poor Britney.
Whoever costumed this tour should be dragged behind a semi, naked, on a gravel road, for atleast 5 miles.
Why hasn’t she found a product to endorse that her faithful fans would line up to buy? Like designer Cheetohs?
Oh good gosh, flashbacks of her performance. Brit needs to get it together not go looking for more responsibility at this time. I agree with her dad (sadly)
daddy Jamie should but out if Britney and Jason are stable why shouldn’t she have more chldren if she wants to
Nice knee lipo scars!
Of course she wants more children. She never got to properly mother the ones she has. Jason has been with her a long time now. I don’t understand why Papa doesn’t trust him to take care of her, and relax his iron grip a little.
Knee lipo scars, are you serious? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Everyone knows she had surgery on her knee years ago when she hurt it dancing. As for the story, I feel bad for her. I hope that since this is the last album that she is under contract to do that gets out of the business. I think that’s what she wants. She seems more interested in living a normal life with her kids now than performing.
Her knees are like that because she blew them out dancing. I feel really bad for her that her life has to be this way..
I don’t think this is true. She was so detached from her kids that she has had to have parenting classes. I’m also fairly sure that she is never allowed to be left alone with the boys. Her parenting duties are only the light, fun activities such as going to Disney Land, not the bed-time tantrum or breakfast thrown around the kitchen variety. I don’t believe for a moment that she wants more kids, it’s just a PR move to make her seem more human.
If she does want a baby and get married then maybe that’s a strong indicator she wants out of this career already. Let her dye her hair brown [anonymity], get fat and pregnant and live on a farm with her kids and new hubby someplace. It’s really not such a bad life to have especially when you’re a millionairess.
I see both sides. It must be really hard for her to realize that her life is not her own and she has to do things that everyone else wants her to do. Isn’t that what caused her mental problems to begin with? I think it would be great for her to go through with this tour, release a greatest hits album and then retire out of the spotlight to focus on her family. Women with mental problems can still get pregnant and raise families as long as they have a strong support system (which she has) and can go back on meds after the birth. Then again, those nine months could be very rocky for her but I honestly think she would be fine with Jason. Jamie shouldn’t have control over her ovaries.
Sad little dead-eyed cash cow. Jeez, how much money does her family need?
What I still don’t buy, is that Britney has a real interest in this guy. At all.
He has always looked like a creeper to me. Taking advantage of what got dropped in his lap.
And as many have stated… many times… is Britney needs to take a couple years off and find some happiness. Find a couple of girls for friends. Go on vacation.
Then if she feels like it, start to preform again. Maybe a Vegas show.
But this deal of having an album out every year, then touring for a year, is going to be the end of her sanity.
Her family and Jason have seen her behind-the-scenes and while we only occasionally hear small leaks about what she’s like, those glimpses are pretty terrifying. She is literally unstable, meaning exactly that, and very resistant to taking the meds that keep her semi-stable. It was just a short time ago that she locked herself in with her youngest son; remember the threats and terror of that night? I hope she isn’t ever alone with her sons, and never has more children. The stress of pregnancy and the responsibility of another child would be a danger to her health, and to put any more children into her care would be very unwise. While she may not be willing or able to understand this, I hope any man who cares about her will nonetheless ensure she doesn’t become pregnant.
It is highly possible that she could pass on her mental illness to future kids. I do not fault her dad if this is true, her attention span is not that great.
She’s lost her sparkle. I was never really a fan but then compared to now she looks completely out of it, like she’s just going through the motions. Poor thing needs to retire and enjoy her life.
The medications to control bipolar are heinous and that’s why compliance is a problem with sufferers. The ‘cure’ is as bad as the illness.
I vehemently agree more children is not what she needs and bipolar women have a much higher predisposition to postpartum depression.
If she wants something to “dress up,” get a doll; someone to do “girlie things” with, that’s what girlfriends are for.
Where she is in her head is not a happy place, she’s looking outside herself for validation and happiness. What she needs is to get off the damned stage, move to the South of France or something, rent a cottage, write, paint, whatever and centre herself. She’s not being given the chance to do that.
And before anyone says she’s choosing to perform, since she’s incapable of making other choices in her life as a human being, who is allowing her to make this one? Dad?
Even mentally and emotionally stable performers have a very hard time touring. Imagine what shade of hell that is for a bipolar.
I get the feeling her people actually want to help her, but dont know how. seems like they are as confused about her state of mind as the rest of us, because Britney herself isnt stable enough to make a rational decision about her life. they’re keeping her career going as best as they can because her life has been about pop stardom since she was a kid, and in a sick way thats what normal to her. it’s so sad… she’s clearly not cut out for this anymore. I hope someone else will make the decision for her, so she can retire and live in peace for once.
If true, I can understand where her father is coming from. However, if she wants to get pregnant there isn’t much he can do to prevent it, is there? Stop taking pills or using protection. Boom. Baby.
This whole thing is just so sad. She probably would like to marry him and have more kids-but really not a good idea considering her mental state. And I wish they would stop trotting her out to “perform”. Can’t she just retire and live her life quietly?
I’m not going to judge Jamie. Pregnancy hormones can trigger psychosis and depression in someone who is already predisposed to the condition.
She’s worlds better with her dad controlling the situation. They can hardly make her bathe or comb her hair and obviously they cant make her quit smoking. They can barely control drugs. they have to fire any dancers on the tour with drugs to keep it from Brittney. There’s probably more that we are unaware of. She does not need to have any more children, for the sake of the future child.
Her dad has helped to create stability and safety for his grandchildren and allowed Brittney to be somewhat of a mother figure for her children.
It’s a BS non-story. Speculation.
she’s the family’s cash cow, should be able to do whatever she wants as long as the cash flow keeps them all in Cheetos…baby one more time and another bag of cheetos, dang!
She’s loooong gone…almost at the point of no return.
I’ve lived with mental illness and its an evil bitch that takes away years of your life. I’ve made super stupid decisions while suffering from it and not even knowing that this was what was driving me. I really don’t know what to say here for Brit – I hope she gets as much support and love as possible.
He can’t force her NOT to marry Jason and not have babies, can he?
@Hautie I so agree…he looks like a creeper and she does need some girlfriends!
I know everybody is different, but I would travel my butt around he world with my girls, if I had her money. That being said, I wish she would get out more and see the world, I think some culture would do her some good.
Obviously, she is on meds, I believe for bipolar disorder. She seems so lethargic. Does anybody know if what it takes to change up her meds? I know with bipolar it is very touchy and just the fact that it is working seems good.
Initially I thought that the conservatorship was a great idea, now not so sure. Perhaps someone can help me understand, but I thought post partum depression/psychosis was not a permanent thing, that it’s hormonally related due to the pregnancy/birth. If that’s what her issue was, wouldn’t it improve? if that isn’t her issue, if it’s a mental condition unrelated to pregnancy, then having another baby wouldn’t necessarily mean another episode, right? Although I understand the concern that it would.
OK, all that being said, the woman is 30 years old, or close to it. And if she’s well enough to put on a robotic tour, then she’s well enough to have her life as well. Apparently, they think the boyfriend’s a good influence (wasn’t he her agent at one point as well?) or he wouldn’t be around. I call BS. I think it’s all about supporting her family. Her sister hasn’t worked since she had that baby, her mother’s selling Amway or something, and her dad’s a caterer. You don’t live like they do on those salaries.
Whatever her dad is doing is not working. She is sad and numbed. Can’t she just move back to Louisiana and live near her sister? Maybe she’d find some peace.
If she’s unstable, why is she performing? Why she’s pushed through something that stressful?
I pity her. It seems like she’s trapped in a nightmare where she just can’t be herself.
Ugh, those stories are just blank horror… i feel sorry for her.
I don’t think she is well enough to tour. I have been on tour with my family for 18 months with one month home a year ago. I’m on a tour with 150 other people including families and a huge support system and it is still HARD. It can throw the strongest people into depression. Some days like today, I don’t even want to get up, though I will. I cannot imagine the Hell that a person with bi-polar must go through. She is so dead behind the eyes. She is clearly medicated and drug around to perform.
She should not be getting pregnant, it’s quite dangerous with her level of impairment. Shoot, if we had her money, we’d get off the touring life and retire in Hawaii.
that britney doc a few yrs back showed that performing/dancing is a kind of therapy for her. it seems that if she has nothing else to do, she starts thinking up things that may not be good for her. i think the dancing/performing keeps her mind occupied & is at least beneficial to her. i think if she took off on an extended vacation, she will make wrong decision to fill her time like getting pregnant, getting off her meds (if she takes any), or adopting or whatever else that may not be the best thing.
i think it helped her quite a bit that her dad was able to take some responsibility over her life or i think she would’ve ended up like lindsey lohan. and i can understand why jamie wouldnt want her to go thru a pregnancy that might mentally, hormonally, emotionally affect her. i think he & britney’s mother went thru a lot of hell trying to get britney back to at least semi-normal. i think they’re worried that if she goes crazy the next time around, she might never get back to relative normalcy again.
She needs to retire and get into a different business. Maybe bad lingerie wear for tweeners.
Yes, I also feel for Britney, but truthfully why isn’t she happy w/her two boys & can’t two children be enough for her? Yes, Britney will go through all types of hell if she gets pregnant again. She couldn’t take care of her two children when she was unstable.
Also, although no one wants to acknowledge, but the earth has a huge population problem. I don’t understand why people want to have more than one or two children. In this day, age, & economy, two children are plenty. I know Britney financially can afford as many children as she wants, but that’s not the point.
His mom killed herself and I fear, thats what dad fears could happen to Britney. On the same note, I feel, she’s done and so over with the whole “pop star” experience. She’s already done it all. She should be allowed to move back to LA, have her kids (IF this jason doesn’t ever cheat, that could f up her head, and rightly so) and then come back. She’ll always be an icon, regardless if you were “into her music” or not. It seems she’s well loved by all of America. I just hope she’s not already so heavily in debt that she MUST work in order to just stay afloat. (and we think we have problems…..) Let her have more kids.
Kaiser, your “mental images of Britney heavily pregnant in bed and yelling, Y’all get me some Cheetos!” is so: BULLS-EYE.
wow, she can’t get married but she can still go on stage in front of millions of people so she can make everyone around her even richer. She’s nothing but a money maker to these people. Sad what they’ve done to her.
Britney is so over it. You can tell she just doesnt care about the popstar thing anymore. Its a misery of her own making but I still feel bad for her.
Im a “friend” of BritBrit on Facebook and she shot this rumor down a couple days ago in her Bullshit report.
I don’t understand why this seemingly normal, accepted by the family Jason Trawick character wants to be with someone who is so sick. What normal person would? And to follow from that, since clearly a normal, together guy wouldn’t want such a messed up cookie, he must be strange himself. Thus, why would her family support the relationship? It seems super weird to me.
If anyone close to this poor girl loved her, they would bring her away from LA.
Britney is wealthy. Incredibly wealthy. But she has to work to support the hoard of people living off her. And she is clearly miserable. Medicated out of her mind. She is trapped. Children, father, mother, boyfriend, ex-husband, ex-husbands children, agents, managers, producers, etc, etc. All depend on her shaking her thing for dough.
The poor girl has worked since she was a kid. She once loved it, but the joy has gone out of her eyes. If that boyfriend of hers loved her, he would marry her, and take her somewhere far away where she could live a slow, quiet, peaceful existance. Without the scrutiny of public life and the pressure of producing enough money for the whole hoard.
Meh, if she wants a baby, but they are worried about her meds, she could just hire a surrogate. I mean, rich women and celebrities hire surrogates for no reason, just so they won’t gain weight.
Of course her PR people are going to shoot this down. All anyone has to do is look at her and they know she isn’t right. She shouldn’t have anymore kids. She can’t even take care of herself and look at what happened when she was allowed to be alone with her babies: One fell out of the highchair, she drove with the baby on her lap while driving down the highway, she almost dropped one because she was more worried about not dropping the drink she was holding in her other hand, she used those boys as photo props, etc. Get her out of this business (Because she sucks now) and move her away like Demi Moore did for 5 years. Enough of this mental midget.
BS…if they were really concerned about her well being they wouldn’t make her pump out albums and tours anymore. It’s clear that the girl is happiest hanging with her bf, seeing her kids and going to Starbucks. She does not want to be a superstar anymore!
#46 Britney Is A Joke: What a cruel thing to say. She might be a lot of things, but a joke is not one of them. Gad, gossip is one thing, but that’s mean.
Her father just doesn’t want to lose his spot as conservator, which he probably most certainly would should she remarry. Pimp.
Brooke Shields also had a well-documented struggle with post-partum depression. She even wrote a book about it. She also managed to have a second child, taking preventative anti-depressants (if there is such a term) while pregnant. Do some research, tool. It’s certainly not like Brit cannot afford the best medical care.
I don’t know why any parent would try to deny their child the chance to be happily married and have more children.
Oh wait, yeah I do: GREED! Brit didn’t really tour or perform while she was pregnant. Wouldn’t want to stop the engine of that money train.
@ Hautie #15,
I totally agree with you. I don’t think she’s really into this guy. She never smiles when she’s with him, let alone look at him. Remember how she was w/ her babies Daddy? You could see she was crazy for him. I really think he abuses her which was said a few month ago. She need to be on her own for awhile.
I don’t know Bella. I think it’s very likely that she is on some pretty heavy duty meds, not just your pretty tame and deemed safe during pregnancy SSRIs.
I do agree with other here who have said it seems pretty telling that her dependents keep her touring, yet say she is not mentally well enough to make any sort of decisions for herself.
Who can really blame her dad? I’m sure he never thought that at her age he would still be essentually raising her. She has emotional problems and probably battles those demons on a daily basis. I wouldn’t want to go through all of it again if I were him.
Well since she doesn’t have custody of her two children w/ K-Fed it’s a really scary prospect of her having another kid. If she really is stable f-ing w her hormones( which I kinda doubt) this could cause a setback for years. In this case if she really wants another baby surrogacy would be the only sane option.
@ Crash – Yes, I’m not sure any of the anti-depressants are actually “safe” during pregnancy, but she should be able to get married, at the very least.
I also find it very telling that her “people” are willing to whore-out a mental incompetent. (I’m not calling her mentally incompetent – that’s what her people are saying.)
Britney doesn’t even know about the “bulls#it” section on her website. She was interviewed recently (I think by Ryan Seacrest?) and he asked her about it, and she had no idea what he was talking about. It’s controlled by her PR people, the same people who write her tweets and probably write her numerous e-mail interviews for her. Britney doesn’t want to be famous anymore, you can tell she’s only doing it for the money. I hope she retires after this album – she still makes quite a bit of money off her perfume line to use as income.
As for this report… Britney has to remember the postpartum depression and serious issues she experienced after the birth of her sons. No one is foolish enough to want to go through that again.
Post-Partum Depression? Ugh. Excessive drug use can lead to crap like schizo, depression and anxiety. PPD is an unfortunate disease for the true sufferers; I believe Brit’s camp have co-opted it.
Have you all forgotten that after dumping Well-Fed, Brit was out partying until the wee hours of the morning EVERY bloody night? I’m reading through the archives at Gossip Rocks; Britney was photographed partying with druggies like Parasite Hilton and Linnocent every day. This is before Lufti got involved. The readers who were following this in 2007 were furious about Brit’s habit of partying til 3 or 4 am in the morning. Sometimes, she’d have the boys out after midnight too, just driving around.
Brit lost final custody ofter one of the subpeoned bodyguards (Moe?) discussed the night the found her high on meth and cocaine, she’d been drugging up with some c-list celebrity she’d met at Promises. Lufti didn’t put her in that room.
PPD doesn’t have the sufferer going out partying into the early hours of the morning every night, ignoring the two kids at home. PPD is more about being unable to get out of bed to feed your hungry infant – it’s depression. Thanks to the “Oh poor Brit Brit; she had PPD”, everybody seems to have forgotten that she was also an illicit drug user, before Lufti was around to slip her prescription meds too. Yeah, it’s no wonder she snapped: cocaine and Rx-benzos and Rx-amphetimines? Drug use can lead to serious mental illness, even just pot used long term can do it. But Britney chose to do some of those drugs, which is why I’m ticked off by everyone choosing to sum this up as bipolar caused by PPD. Britney was an addict. She was a drug user BEFORE that creep Lufti walked into her life.
I personally think it’s a GOOD thing that she’s on tour, making albums, etc. It keeps her busy. Really, what would she be doing if she wasn’t? She can’t go out and party/jump in the ocean/mack with paparazzi under her conservership, which is EXACTLY what she’d be doing if she had oodles of free time and no one looking after her. Let’s not kid ourselves, we all saw it. So, barring that option, seriously, what would she do with her time except sit at home bored and slowing turning into Baby Jane?
Long term pot use does NOT cause any long term effects, not even on memory. Please get your facts straight.
Now alcohol and other assorted things do, but not pot. Not documented. Ever.
I admit that my knee-jerk reaction to reading this story was “How dare he dictate her & Jason’s right to have children.”
Then I gave it some serious thought. As someone else mentioned, she’s probably on heavy duty meds that can’t be taken while pregnant (that would pose a problem in itself.) & pregnancy screws up the hormones so badly that it would just exacerbate her preexisting conditions. Then the issue of Post-pardum depression.
It would be extremely risky, & could end quite badly. It’s not as though she’s in her late 30’s, hearing the ticking of her biological clock. She still has time before such a decision absolutely has to be made. She needs to talk more time for herself.
That first performance shot is so depressing. It looks like she’s taking a rest and panting until she gathers the energy to get back into it. Horrible, horrible costume too.
Britney lost all control over her life when she was declared mentally incompetent and her father was appointed as her personal conservator. Her mental illness is obviously permanent and she is heavily medicated. She has been slowly deteriating and is not capable of singing and/or dancing, or even lip-syncing, anymore. Trawick is a pervert taking advantage of a mentally incapacitated woman. Face reality. She’s not getting better.
I’m sorry, I know it was probably late or you were typing quickly or something, but this article excerpt *hurts* my brain
“recalls her horrifying bout with Britney herself said was postpartum depression”
“sent her into a downward spirtal”
“though the resons for Britney’s hospitalizatin”
“puts Jamie in charge of bother her professional and personal life”
“it appears that for her own safet”
I hope her dad knows what he’s doing and truly has her best interest at heart. I don’t want to think it’s about greed and her being everybody’s cash cow. I’d hate to think her own dad is only doing this so that *he* is the only one who gets to exploit her.
I hope trotting her out all hollow and dead-eyed like this is just part of a plan to sock away enough money while she still can to support her and her boys until they grow up. I hope it really is all for her and her boys. She’s so vulnerable, so exploitable by anyone who can charm her into allowing herself to be preyed upon.
That said, I can see how her having more kids could present a concern for those responsible for her wellbeing. She’d most likely have to go off her meds for the better part of a year which could send her careening aimlessly and compromise her ability to care for her existing children.
I have faith that there’s a way she can really be OK and happy and capable of raising her children and making her own decisions. I have faith that we’ll get to see that spark return to her eyes again someday.
Shes` a grown woman she should be able to do what she wants` . I mean family can be concerned all they want but dosent` everyone want a little girl in there life when there finally settled down and Happy. B . Spears Fan!
@bella: (Hope you don’t mind if I shorten your handle?) I agree she should be allowed to get married if that is what she and Jason want. Maybe that might change the conservatorship though? I don’t understand these things well enough (at all) to know.
I admit though, I have to kind of wonder what her relationship with Trezwick is really like. I mean – she is essentially a mentally ill child. I fear it might not end well for her, and maybe that is what her father fears as well. There were noises a couple of years back that her father was trying to get rid of Jason all together and it may have been for a very good reason.
Give me some coffee and I ramble…
She looks like she’s auditioning to be Alex Rodriguez next butch “girl”friend.
How incredibly sad that Britney’s father keeps her performing like a trained monkey, rather than letting her get married and attempt to have a happy life. He’s disgusting.
Yes, I understand that Britney would be risking things to go off her meds in order to get pregnant, but other than losing money from not performing, what other valid reason would there be for her to not be able to do that? She could pay for intense monitoring by at-home therapists if she needed; it’s only the money train that isn’t letting her get her wish.
Of course, I’ve hated the “conservatorship” ever since Britney was made to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to everyone who so much as looked her way, and she couldn’t do a thing about it. I think she should be able to live her life as she sees fit, and if she spirals again, her family could be there to help her through it – without getting millions of dollars for it. There are tons of families out there who help their loved ones for free…
First, do any of you know for sure that Britney has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder? Have you seen medical reports that state she is on antipsychotic drugs? If not, then it’s all just speculation. As a OB/GYN nurse for over 10 years, I’ve seen my share of postpartum psychoses. It’s a serious disorder, but it almost always resolves as hormonal levels return to normal. It is rarely permanent unless there are underlying psychiatric illnesses.
We have no idea what Britney thinks or wants. Maybe she loves to perform. Maybe what you all call “dead eyes” is just the way she looks in a few particular photos. People love to judge.
It’s only natural for Britney to want to have more children, especially with a man she loves. Her psychosis may or may not return with another pregnancy. No one knows. Why speculate?
She seems like a kind person from all the interviews I’ve seen of her. My friend is from NOLA. When Katrina hit, Britney spent time there, helping out with the children. My friend said Britney was one of the kindest people she ever met. The kids loved her. Please remember, people aren’t always what the media makes them out to be. A mentally-ill Britney sells more newspapers than a normal Britney. I hope a normal, happy life for her.
If her family wants to continue to make money out of her, they should think of going the Jessica Simpson route. While her music and acting career has tanked, she continues to make headlines – and millions per year – on her fashion label. Britney can continue being in the spotlight if she got the help she needed and retired from pop music. She can do reality television, host an entertainment show, or start a fashion line. Unfortunately, her stage parents exploited her at a young age and might be too late in changing the person Britney has become which is dependent and completely clueless as to how to be a normal human being with responsibilities.
@ Crash – Don’t mind at all, as long as no one is picturing Kristen Stewart (or whatever her name is) when you type it! LOL 😀
@ Christy – As one who comes from 3 generations of performers, and one who performed herself: If Brit loved performing, it would show in those “dead eyes” of hers. There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about performers who LOVE what they’re doing. It can’t be imitated or faked. It’s just THERE.
@Christy: Getting a conservatorship is a big deal and not easily done. Britney had to have been deemed unable to care for herself in order for a judge to appoint one. It is not a big stretch of the imagination to assume that she is suffering from a severe mental disorder.
@Bella: Good point! I think she is doing it because it’s all she knows and she likes to dress up and have people look at her. But the spark is gone for sure.
Why is she with him??
I can’t believe how many people blindly skip over the fact that Britney is bi-polar. Her ‘breakdown’ happened because she’d stopped taking her medication. Why did she stop taking it? Because she got pregnant. She got pregnant again right away with her second son (her boys are exactly 1 year apart in age) because she hates taking her medication.
Bipolar people often feel like they really don’t need their medication. And remember the night Britney was (finally) hospitalized? Her hanger-oner Sam (the one who is now banned from contacting her) had been desperately trying to get her to take her medication. I can’t help but think that is the reason Britney is anxious to marry this guy and have kids. Her father knows what happened the last time she had kids, and he doesn’t want to see her go through that again. I don’t blame him. One photo of Britney shaving her head was enough to last me a lifetime.
i think if this is true it is sad that she could feel she doesn’t even have control over her own body and destiny, and if she did have ppd knowing shes prone to it in advance could help with the problem.. and i do think her taking some time to have more of a personal life and do something more fulfilling than just performing and then being blasted by the media could be good for her, and yeah pregnancy and having kids is stressful but it also can bring someone so famous back to earth and to things that mean a lot more than money etc… and if this is true and things about her dad aren’t exaggerated then her being pregnant and having a new baby would mean she wouldn’t be able to have an active career for a while and be raking in money… so i dunno but either way, i do feel for her, it’s gotta be frustrating to have all this material stuff and no control over it when you earned it
