Unfortunately, some people are only happy when they are criticising others. I suppose what I am trying to say is that some people feel the need to criticise others to make themselves feel better.

Sadly, being a celebrity makes her an easy target for criticism since so much of her personal life is caught by the paparazzi. No mistake goes unseen.

Personally, I think it is an insecurity issue. They already feel insecure and then they are reminded that there are others doing better than they are. I could even say it is a warped version of jealousy.

Whatever their reasons, they are still hypocrites.

You are forgetting the same goes to become a celebrity. The more you are photographed and put on magazines and the more famous you get, you sell whatever product you want to sell (music, fashion, gadgets, etc). It is widely known "celebrities" often build scandals on purpose when the media are not focused on them any more. I could also say most of "celebrities" are actually marketing products, being built by the majors with well planned marketing campaigns.

Again, I don't feel sorry for poor Britney who without the media would probably be a chashier in WalMart.

Jealousy is mostly (if not always) a sign of insecurity!

Psychology never was my strong point.
Artificial Intelligence on the other hand...

Kerstin, have you ever thought those "celebrities" build up scandals on purpose to be present on the news that would have ignored them otherwise?
Have you ever thought the press often writes about a "celebrity" because the major is paying them for the advertisement or just because the major is putting pressure on them?
For some strage reasons the "celebrities" who don't have any problem with their careers don't usually show much on newpapers, besides the usual promotions.
Behind a "celebrity" there is an industry and a lot of payed people who push a product by any possible means.
The buttons you can push in that business are always the same, sex scandals, drugs, alchool. Women being bitches, men being arrested for some violent behaviour.
I can think of a couple of examples when careers were saved or built by sex videos distributed over the Internet...

If you aren't a famous good guy you can try to be a famous bad guy. The only important thing here is "famous".

Besides, here is somebody who thinks the same as you:

Many so called celebrities have private lives. They maintain these private lives by choosing not to share them with us, the public, through magazines, tv and radio. If an individual chooses to share any details of their lives with us, for whatever reason, they lose the right to have that tap turned off and on at their bidding. I would know nothing of the lives of Britney, Kerry Katona and others if they had not chosen to tell me. If a football player earning 5 million pounds per year decides to sell pictures of their home and a few juicy stories to Hello for 20,000 or however much, that is simple greed and they deserve no sympathy when the cameras are turned on them for what they would term the wrong reasons.

There are two valid arguements here.

1.) The right to privacy is an inherent human right. Thus any person, regardless if they are famous or not has an inherent right to a private life.

2.) When a person voluntarily enter's into the public eye, that person has, of there own choosing, relinquished there right to privacy and thus can no longer claim said right.

No prize for guessing which arguement is popular with the paparazzi.

If it wasn't for the gossip nobody would talk of Britney.
"Leave Britney alone" means the very end of her dropping career, once people aren't interested in her as "product" any more.
Do you think it is difficult to find some other fatty "ex-rebel-teenager-singer-dancer-perfomer"?
You don't make her any favour taking away the paparazzi and the lights from her.

People don't criticize without a reason. People are stupid. If they weren't stupid Briney (like most people in the show business) wouldn't be rich. You must be stupid to pay for advertisement, lies and expensive crap. The gossip is just part of the game.

I presume the "people are stupid" comment does not include any of us. If people have a reasoned argument for their critisism then surely by definition they are intelligent, not stupid. While saying this I agree with many parts of your argument, just not the generalizations.

You are generalizing.

best wishesss:)

I don't see any "negative" here.
All I've said not only is true but it is pretty obvious.

What is "negative"?
Whatever doesn't fit in the world of the Smurf?

Merry Christmas!

its more then that media will exploit anything negative because it makes them more money. They do not care about the peoples lives, countries or anything else they ruin to make their trillions of dollars.

Merry Christmas:)

Merry Christmas! Time of peace...


Human being sometimes thinks that have no choice. But we make our choice in every second of our life. Now is cause and then is result.

hasn't she "cracked" already

merry christmas

If you've read the headlines you'll hear how bad her childhood was so I'd say she cracked years ago and he she had had better parenting then she might have been a doctor or a lawyer or something usefull like a politician.:sarcastic grin:

Have a wonderful merry Christmas!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a cool yule, from here in the U.K.!!!

a human being who will soon or later crack!

Now that's very pessimistic. Plenty of people never "crack" and I'm sure some of them can't even understand why fellow beings do.

I really dislike the efforts of people to dislike her

It's impossible to detect when one's subjective opinions are powered by their coordinated efforts to dislike. To assume this means that any answers to the question "Why do papers and magazines care so much for destroying poor Britney's life?" will be flawed.

The point is that no-one is beyond criticism, as can be proven by the comments. The right to freedom of opinion and expression is an universal human right.
Having agreed that, we have a court's decision that lawfully evaluated her as a mother, and we have everyone's opinion about her music and life.

Merry Christmas, Mizz Martínez!

A merry Christmas to you, Mizz Martínez, and also to poor Britney, may she get a little privacy as a present! :-)

But I like this one more than the other.

It was the latest when I posted! Besides, no one else is posting on that one

Merry Christmas!
Frohe Weinachten!
God jul!

Well ,I agree with you. Everyone don't have the right to gibe or laught at anyone. Nice to meet you!

Dear, I'm Vietanmese. I'm so sorry if I have any wrong words or grammar. I use English not well. Have a nice day!

There are a lot of child stars that have trouble making it because the press hounds them too much and they are surrounded by so much money, drugs, etc.

Just like Diana, Princess of Wales, the press helped her, but ultimately killed her by hounding her every second of every day and following her every move.

We need to just let people have some privacy. Everyone deserves that. Even the ones in the public eye. Britney did go crazy from too much stress constantly being thrown at her. I think many of us would. I can't imagine living in a fishbowl.

Love your avatar.

If people didn't buy tabloids that hound stars, tabloids wouldn't hound stars in the first place. some publications will print anything as long as people keep buying them.

It is a little different. Stars don't exist without "tabloids" and without people who buy and read tabloids.
Most stars are completely built by some marketing staff via the media.
The problem is it is difficult to keep people focused on somebody who don't have any real talent.
It is different to be the Rollling Stones who still play rock and roll at 60 or member of one of those trashy boy bands that last a couple of years.
I say it again, nobody whould talk about Britney if it was only for her songs.

About privacy: here in my country every now and then some newspaper publishes recorded phone calls from some politician. Those recordings in theory should be made only by the police and kept secret until there is a crime and it was judged by a court. So there are a lot of discussions if the news should be allowed to publish those things or not. On the other side in the recordings there are the evidences of how things actually work behind the scenes. For example if the president of the party X calls the chief of a state company to ask him to hire the girlfriend of a friend and such.

Imagine trying to make a living based entirely on how well known you are. Sometimes its better to be paid for what you do than for who you are.
