[Guest Zooey Deschanel]

seems like amanda's parents dgaf so she's on her old path again

i'm so glad papa spears is doing his best and britney is safe unlike amanda

[HolySpearit]

[carlitos'crib]

IKR    Lindsay lohan is train wreck too, people is destroying her new acting role..  Britney is doing pretty well.

IKR! maybe its the best for britney to stay in a c-ship just because of the situations like this

[Natooolee]

As much as Id love to see Britney get another chance with freedom (it HAS been 6 years) this is the thing that makes me nervous. Once shes out it wouldn't be easy to get her back in if she did start to slip and thats a scary thought.

why not

 

[OohLaLa]

The thing is Amanda's parents let her move out the house after the conservatorship ended. Papa Spears let Britney have most of her life back while still in the conservatorship just in case something went wrong. Plus, Britney knows that if she slips, she would probably lose her kids while Amanda, well...what can she lose?

[heather]

the difference between britney and these other troubled stars is that at the end of the day her family truly cares about HER and not the fame and money.

Sorry, but I don't trust Jamie at all... I don't think that everything looks that great.

I am also really against the whole c-ship tbh... stealing her freedom isn't solving problems.

[Fiyero]

EXACTLY. He pretty much saved her life. God only knows what would have happened if he hadn't gone to the courts and DEMANDED those restraining orders and everything else that ensued.
The Jamie hate is pretty unnecessary. There's a good chance she wouldn't be here without him.
 

[Far Beyond]

who's that guy who tweeted about partying w her, then made a rehab comment 

 

that shit was ignorant, tacky and trashy as hell

 

I don't care about Amanda, but that tweet was beyond stupid

 

I wouldn't be surprised if this douche didn't even party w her, maybe he was there standing on the sidelines..but when you party w people you don't joke about rehab at her expense trying to make yourself look cool bcuz you partied and did drugs w someone famous. 

 

 

 

ignorant stafucker charlatan filth

This, exactly.

 

And a lot of fans say she'll never go back to how she was in 2007, especially because she has kids. Those fans obviously don't realize that people with a mental illness can feel "cured" and skip a dose of their meds. Or even need a higher dose of medication or even different medication. Do I think she should be in the conservatorship forever (or even this long)? No. But I'm not her doctor, and neither is anyone else on here, and nobody knows what is truly going on with her.

 

IMO, I think Britney is screwed with and without the conservatorship, when it comes to custody of her kids. With it, she has no legal custody (on paper). Without it, she could lose custody. I also laugh when people attack Jamie, like he's keeping Britney in the conservatorship as some kind of cruel joke. The man doesn't even live with her anymore. I do think there are definitely some shady people involved in the conservatorship, but I really don't think Jamie is one of them.

[ROUGE]

IKR Lindsay lohan is train wreck too, people is destroying her new acting role.. Britney is doing pretty well.

Lindsay's is actually getting really good reviews. It was only opening night she got bad reviews and she blamed it on being nervous which is reasonable.

As far as Britney being in the c-ship still... I think it bullshit. Britney has matured greatly since 2007. If she wants to make bad decisions as an adult she should be allowed to. She shouldn't have her rights taken away because of the millions of dollars on the line. I think it helped at the time but now I see no point for it.

[ooh la la]

britney would be fine if she was released from the conservatorship she has had time to break from the never ending going and going that was her life was up until 2007. so really i think she is a different person now because she has had time to take a step back and change as a person.her kids are little people now so i don't think britney would do anything bad that would damage their relationship since they would remember things now.also amandas parents seem very strange i think they denied and don't accept the doctors diagnosis of schizophrenia that amanda received from reading gossip sites. no mater what diagnosis britney has i think she has totally changed as a person and would never go back to how she was 2007. she is too shy can you imagine britney of today even talking to someone like sam lifti.also she is not under the same pressure cooker atmosphere of being stalked so shes more able to deal with things.

This. Britney has acknowledged her mistakes, learned, and grown from them. I doubt she would put herself or her relationship with her boys in jeopardy again.

[AlienBitch.]

Poor girl, someone needs to help her! 

[Vegasney88]

why not

 

She's 32, the conservatorship has lasted six years, when is it going to be enough? U can't keep the girl in a conservatorship forever just because she might make a mistake.

Yasss! So much yass bb.

I think Jamie deserves credit for stepping in when Britney was a mess, but once 5 years passed and the conservatorship was still in place I was no no no.

Its just not right

While I sorta agree, also neither Lindsay nor Amanda have gotten their shit together like Britney has so I would give Britney a bit more credit, I think she would be fine tbh

[tonyfan]

Some that are mentally ill enough to need a caretaker, are not always capable of making decisions that is best for themselves or their children.  It is unclear if Britney is that mentally ill or not.

 

So torn on the c-ship.  Yeah she is alive and seems to be somewhat thriving, but we do not know if she is truly happy or what happens behind closed doors.  

 

I have been rooting for Amanda.  I have loved her movies.  Who knows if the stories about her and the Nick sets are true or not.

I honestly doubt she would put them in jeopardy again either. I actually would like to see her out of the c-ship. at the end of the day theres going to be SOME point that htey are going to have to let her go. They cant just control her life until the day she dies and the only way anyone is going to truly know is to let her make her own decisions.

 

BUT it DOES worry me a bit because life isn't always as rational as we would like it to be and mental illness DEFINITELY isn't rational then its possible she could start to lose control. The thing that worries me a bit is once shes out its really not as easy as going back to the courts and going whoops yeah shes making some bad decisions again lets redo the cship. At that point shed either have to get better or hit rock bottom again and that prospect, to me, is whats scary because dont we want her happy AND healthy?

[Babydoll]

Britney wanted to rebel herself, and she was so overprotected that she wanted to be free, I don't trust that much in Jamie, but I know Britney Loves her sons so much that she wouldn't do something bad, I think, it's not about the people who "take care" of someone, if someone don't want to leave drugs, that person will keep doing it ... Just like Amanda Bynes, she  has serious drug issues, hope she gets better soon

Exactly, mental illness isn't rational.

 

It's so frustrating to see people comment on here: "Ohh, she'll never do anything to risk losing her boys again" or "Ohh, she's learned her lesson and will never put herself in bad situations again." Bullshit. They obviously don't realize that all it takes is one day of skipping your meds, for whatever reason, and feeling fine and thinking you're "cured." You think you don't need medication anymore. Or you'll take your meds when you feel bad, which makes them completely useless. You start to spiral and don't even realize it. Rational thinking goes out the window at that point. It's happened to me, I've seen it happen to a few close family members. It's a day-to-day struggle.

 

I'm not saying Britney deserves to be in the conservatorship forever. I have no idea what's going on with her or what her life is like behind closed doors; nobody does. Which is why it's so strange some people don't trust Jamie or say some incredibly hurtful things about him like he's nobody of importance to Britney, not her own father. I also want to see Britney free from the conservatorship one day. I do think she'd be fine on her own.

[ValetGirls]

Honestly, seeing the lives of Brit, Lindsay, Amanda, and Paris post-scandal/public ridicule damage control is almost like seeing different countries enact different policies in the face of the same economic crisis: some chose not to regulate their behavior, to varying results (Amanda & Lindsay), some chose to downsize their scope of fame (Paris) or some chose their career under extreme regulation (Britney). Each has yielded different results when it comes to lasting legacy and public legitimacy today, they're almost like little case studies that, save for Amanda who acted out a few years afterwards, all stem from similar circumstances.

 

Or maybe that's just the inner international economics major in me speaking

[MIKE]

I don't know why but I don't really put their issues in the same category. I know there are some uncanny similarities but I think they are still very vey different
