Britney Spear's mom, Lynne Spears has come out in defence of her daughter's recent public displays that had her fans wondering if their favorite pop star had lost her mind. In an interview with Us Weekly magazine Lynne Spears said her daughter, Britney Spears is "just figuring things out."
Unfortunately for Britney Spears, she is Britney Spears and everything she does is scrutinized by the media, her fans and anyone else who happens to read the paper, watch televison or surf the internet.
I have to agree. Let's face it, how many of us in our late teens and early 20's did some stuff that in later life we are either embarrassed about, laugh about or just don't like to even think about. Britney Spears unfortunately has an entourage of watchers who are right there to record the incident for all to see.
Britney probably will sort it all out eventually, we all do, in our own time. For some it comes early and is over quick, for others it lasts a long time, and some forever, that's where the aging party boys and girls come from. But they are the minority, most have it out of their system by their late twenties or early thirties.
Britney's trials are for want of a better word, 'louder' because we have all been there to watch her go from child star to young woman, complete with sexuality, fame and stardom, husbands and children, not to mention tons of money, fans that alternate between loving her and hating her, and lots of competition to stay in the spotlight.
We all know the chances of a child star, as Britney Spears was, making the transformation to adult star aren't that good. Just look at some of the others before her and ask yourself where are they now. They seldom manage to keep the level of stardom and popularity that they once enjoyed. That has to be tough, especially on a young person, I think it would be a bitter pill even for an older person.
Our problem, and it is our problem, is that we don't want our childhood stars to grow up, and we certainly don't want them doing things we don't approve of. We take it personal. We take it as an affrontery to us. We forget that beneath the singing voice, the good looks, and the fame and fortune is just another young woman, trying to decide the best way to wear her hair.....
