The vacation is still on, but we’re back posting sooner than expected because it’s just not work to us to talk trash about celebrities.
In Britney’s Dateline Interview she comes off defensive, rude, and dumb. She’s even chewing gum, just like when she was announcing her pregnancy on Letterman! At one point she breaks down and cries when Lauer asks her “what do you think it will take to get the paparrazi to leave you alone?” While I feel sorry for her and don’t blame her for crying, she didn’t handle the first part of the questioning well at all.
She says of the incident where Child Protective Services visited her for Sean Perston’s high chair fall that “they didn’t have to come, the doctor there made them come because I didn’t bring my doctor there with me.” The doctor there made them come because her child was injured and they’re required by law to contact Children and Family Services. That’s idiotic to suggest the reason was because she didn’t bring another doctor. She seems not to understand that is how CPS works.
When asked by Lauer if she tripped on her pants during the near baby-drop fiasco, she says, “I think, uh, actually, I didn’t trip on anything, there was, a NY street, it was cobblestone… I think it was mixture of so many paparrazi and just how the road was all messed up, me just trying to get in the car.” The road was perfecly flat and paved and not cobblestone at all. I live in Europe where there are real cobblestone streets and people manage to walk around holding all sorts of shit without stumbling and falling.
No fucking mention of the highball glass she was carrying at the time, and no admission of even partial guilt or regret for the incident. She blows it off, saying “accidents happen” and using the ridiculous example of her brother’s multiple motorcycle accident at age 13 as a comparison. “Stuff happens with kids,” she explains. Britney, you fucking idiot, you have total responsibility for your baby’s safety and he’s not the same as an adolescent boy.
She says she was crying afterwards because people were trying to take her picture, not because she almost hurt Sean. She also cals a woman ignorant for trying to take her picture at the time. “Ignorant” is not an adjective Britney should introduce into a conversation.
“There will be plenty more oopses, I’m human.” Yes you are, and you’re richer than 99.99% of the world. You can fucking hire someone to help you talk to the press and act like you actually take responsibility for your actions and care about your infant son.
“You have to realize that we’re people, and we need privacy, and we need respect. Those are just things that you have to have as a human.” This is your job, Britney, figure it out. The paparrazi are terrible and all but you need to find a better way to cope.
She does seem to love Sean even though she won’t admit to any guilt or responsibility for his frequent safety mishaps.
Later in the interview she’s in her element when talking about her music and her work, and she explains her brief involvement with the Kabbalah cult well. She has a new clothing line for children coming out, called “Baby Soul Rock and Roll,” and she seems quite excited and happy about it.
While things seem to be looking up for her, she needs professional media coaching and she should never have done this interview.
