Baldy!

Is it just me or does everyone want to slap around a few Hollywood parents?

Increasingly, people are seeing their kids as a meal ticket. Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, Posh Spice, even Michael Jackson made their parents very rich. I think it’s a dangerous path to tread if you think your kids might follow in their footsteps.

I don’t recognise Britney Spears anymore. Whether or not I admired her work, Britney spears was always beautiful. Fresh faced and cheeky.

Now she is a puffy pasty pimply skin head with tattoos on her head. She’s got two marriages under her belt, two kids apparently not in her custody and is clearly on the verge of a breakdown. She’s 25.

I haven’t seen anything of Britney’s mother Lynne this week. Apparently she is taking care of Britney’s children at the moment, which is great, as long as she hasn’t booked them in to a talent agency yet…

Hollywood parents, have you noticed, are so much more visible when their kid is on the way up? Not quite so keen on a photo call outside the Betty Ford Clinic.

Hollywood is an ugly business. In the media this morning you might have heard a teary Britney begging on Entertainment Tonight to be left alone by the Papparazzi.

You might also have seen mobile phone footage at the weekend, of Britney doing a late night shave in an LA hair salon. The owner of the salon has also spoken to the press today, claiming one of Britney’s body guards opened the blinds of the salon, that there was a person outside waiting to take the so called ‘random’ footage.

Poor Britney, she just wants to be left alone….

And news just in from Britney’s manager: “Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.”

Whatever.
