“Britney isn’t America’s sweetheart. She’s an Inbred Swamp Thing<\/font> who chain-smokes, doesn’t do her nails and screams at people who want pictures”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “People turned on her,” says Ghalib. “They were only there when the getting was good.<\/font>“<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is this 8 page story on “Britney Spears – Inside an American Tragedy.” I liked the way the last bit of the story was written and the tone the story was left at. So read away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seventy-five paps gather around the entrances to Britney’s gated community, stamping their feet in the chilly winter night, as a police helicopter circles over head. “You don’t want an ambulance to roll out with a body bag and miss that,” says a French photographer, checking his battery. These guys are jaded after all that’s happened. “Man, Britney can’t die, because then I don’t get my money!” says a guy in a Famous Stars and Straps baseball hat. Someone starts running down the block, and everyone runs after him; they hide in a driveway and laugh when everyone catches up. Although she doesn’t seem to have tried to commit suicide, the doctors are on their way again: Police and paramedics descend as the LAPD blocks off all exit paths from her house, stations twenty cops in her driveway and takes her out (her code name: “The Package”) without a single picture. …..<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A world without Britney, where she is set aside in rehab or a psychiatric center, is hard to contemplate: She’s the canary in the coal mine of our culture, the most vivid representation of the excess of the past decade. She didn’t think there was a tomorrow worth saving for, and neither did we. After blaming everyone else for her problems, Britney’s finally starting to realize the degree to which she’s messed up, but her sense of entitlement keeps her from admitting it to herself, or anyone who is trying to help her.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We want her to survive and thrive, to evolve into someone who can make us proud again. Or maybe, we just don’t want the show to end. “Look at George Foreman: He’s the oldest heavyweight champion ever,” says Ghalib. “That’s what Britney’s going to be. She said it best to be: She refuses to live her life anymore reflected in the eyes of others.” Then he gets very quiet. “Be gentle to her,” he says. “That’s a personal request.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n just Pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Random ramblings and quotes from Rolling Stone. “Britney isn’t America’s sweetheart.
