I have to agree with erika, it did seem completely fake and her dialogue was pathetic. She really couldn’t come up with an original idea even when they prodded her at the end. I thought it was a very intense yet subtle joke of a film and make her look just as stupid as we all suspected she is.

yeah, a “documentary”. more like fakeumentary. she is the most uninteresting person ever. she didn’t have a single thing to say. pathetic.

Did anyone else think that Madonna got some heavy duty work done on her face. She looked a little tight around the upper lip…gross

I too was quite surprise that Madonna agreed to sit down for this documentary. Shocked actually, but this is what I don’t understand about Britney. If shes so sad, why not get out of the business. She has enough money , why not retire? She could still dance and find fulfillment out of life. *sigh* I don’t understand celebrities.

interesting responses. i think it’s interesting that we all care so much about this one girl…who lip syncs and barely dances (anymore). no lie, i was glued to the tv the other night…part of me wants to say…”all right britney you’re doing what you want to be doing, you’re not getting laid off from your job or living on the streets”

but c’mon critics….didn’t some of the documentary look freakin intensley scary?
she’s trying to get out of her a car and is scared back into it by freaks with cameras. can you imagine being scared back inside by flashing lights?
it’s insane our country’s obsession with britney spears. i’m surprised she didn’t say that “seriously, guys…give it a rest.” but i don’t think that’s what she truly wants.
at the same time….i thought the bit at the madonna performance showed a lot. madonna’s stuck in an elevator with a camera pointed on her at all times and she can’t hide from the camera but is stuck in an elevator. britney spears life must be incredibly claustrophobic…esp. now that she has 3 or 4 people constantly “crowding” her. but is that the price to pay for accomplishing your dreams of fame & fortune? maybe. so maybe she does need to quit bitchin’. still, i do feel for what she was saying and what the documentary showed a little bit. she looked really sad and the way they edited had a lot of shots of her staring into space. man, i hope she’s able to find her light again…and see that she lives a very blessed life and to just surge on like a karate kid.

hey quick question–when they were in N.Y.C did Britney ask for that guy’s number? the one that was performing in the show? this was when they were done with dinner…just curious to see if anyone caught that.

i wish she and justin were still together lol…talk about fairy tale ending! :)

Trent, I respect you and believe you to be intelligent, but sometimes I think you are blinded by your love of Britney.
You were honestly surprised that she did a documentary? Her whole career has been filled with papparzzi, controversy, etc. The media has been a powerful force in building her career. For the longest time she didn’t release a single song, yet she consistently stayed in the headlines. This doc gives her more exposure to help make her so-called comeback.
And she’s never had a chance to tell her side of the story? What about “Chaotic” ? The Matt Lauer interview? What about the countless interviews she has done? Being in the spotlight is tough, and I am sure the media likes to spin things their way, but she is not helpless and a lot of her destruction was her own doing.
Frankly I see her still as very immature. The minute she was without her handlers and on her own, she fell apart. I think this documentary would be appropriate once she has recuperated, but it is very evident that she is still trying to pick up the pieces of her life. I think going away to Louisiana or somewhere quieter would do her a world of good.

Some of these comments are rather harsh, I think alot of you should drop the green eyed monster act and try walking in someone elses shoes for once. Money dosen’t make it all better. And yes there are hundreds of millions in the world worse off but I never understand that comment. I should be delighted with whatever life hands me cause somebody else is getting a beating?? How about praising the people that find the strength to pull themselves out (even if it is with the help of friends & family – nothing wrong with asking for help) and decide to go for what they want. Brit has a climb ahead of her and it’ll only be as rocky as she allows it. Always look for the good :) And Brit if you want a peaceful holiday come to NZ, we have lots of lovely, kid friendly hideaways (as in totally off-road)

Take care, rejoice in your children and know people want to see you soar however you need to (even if its hiding out been a ‘real’ mom *grin*)No shame in simple pleasures

I dunno. I don’t really care for her music though I respect how hard she works & feel for her feeling trapped now. As a parent of two young boys myself, I DO take issue with her back-handed swipes at Kevin. Anyone who watched last night saw how often she & apparently her father swear (that whole bit with her pretending to be her dad is why I say apparently for him), so claiming the kids are getting it from Kevin is crap and bickering in the press will only hurt the boys when they’re finally aware of what’s going on. Neither side is perfect, and Kevin has been there for those boys throughout all of her “bad times” the past couple years so I’d respect her a WHOLE lot more if she was more grateful towards him than insulting. (and no, I can’t believe I’m defending Kevin, but damn! lol)

It would be really nice if she could get out of L.A. but of course you can’t just move somewhere else when custody is involved. I do think it’s too bad the paps camp outside her house and everything. I mean obviously there are places celebs can go if they want to make sure that there will be photographers there to take their pics but a person’s home should be safe from them. I live in Montana and we have quite a few celebs that vacation here or have homes here and there isn’t anyone following them around. Johnny Depp has worked out at the same gym I go to when he’s in the area, and sure some people ask for autographs but it’s not like he’s being attacked or anything. I think it’s unfortunate that she can’t get completely away from that life most of the time, but when you are in the middle of promoting an album, the more press the better, I guess. I absolutely wish her the best and I can’t wait to buy her album tomorrow (even though I’ve been listening to it since it leaked, lol.)

Jennifer, did you miss the part of the documentary where Britney herself said, “I’m only staying in L.A. ’cause my baby daddy lives here.” she’s only staying there for her kids.

I have always been a Britney fan and the doc did nothing to change that for me but I was cringing the whole time! Why do people take themselves so seriously! She is a millionaire with a beautiful family. People adore her and some people hate her.. that’s life! of course I feel bad that she gets ripped apart in the tabloids but who cares? She’s a singer and a dancer for God sakes, her life is not that rough! I just don’t get why she complains about the paparazzi and people always being in her business — while she’s promoting a new album… that stuff comes with success. She lives in LA, come on! It’s an obvious part of it.. she would feel the exact same way if people didn’t care about her! I love her and I love her music but I am over celebrities complaining about their lives. They should go talk to people who have genuine problems in their lives and quit crying.

Just my opinion!

“think of an injured bird that has had both of its wings broken and, in the course of the healing process, has to trust an outstretched hand that she is being helped and won’t be hurt again”…seriously? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as the whole papparazi situations go I think Britney really needs to leave the LA area and go somewhere else where she isn’t bothered. I don’t mean she should give up entertaining people though, I mean she should live in an area where papperazzi isn’t always at. Like Orange County, they have some really beautiful communities where she wouldnt have to give up her way of living/shopping trendy stores and there is hardly any paps.

uuhh Candace I guess I’ll be the first to tell you that Britney has already won a grammy for her Toxic video (not to mention the crazy success she has achieved through record sales, even if you win a ton of awards if no one has heard of you really who cares). To try to discount Britney’s talent as an entertainer is ridiculous, you dont get to her level of fame without doing something right. Before you say all the credit is due to having thr right people working for her, tell that to the plenty of talentless, yet wealhy celebrities with enough resources to hire the ‘right’ people who have flopped… i.e. Paris Hilton.

I Hate Britney, (No i don’t) She’s made me cry all weekend, First i was crying when i watched her X Factor performance, i loved it, and then the Doc, she’s amazing, She was so open, so sincere, Hopefully people will stop Hating on her, It was very Sad, and Touching, i have to be honest, i’m loving the promos, the performances and all, but if she decided that she’s not gonna perform until next year, i would support her, we have the album now, 2 videos, the magz, and 3 performances, i think we could wait some more time, and if she’s willing to keep on doing this promotion, then i’m soooo gonna support her…

nicole — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:34:01 +0000

you know, i get that shes lonely and that shes having a rough time, but i fell like she’s ungrateful for what her dads done for her. yes he’s strict with who he lets around her, but do you blame him? look at the type of people she lets in her life. she should be praising her dad cause without him, she wouldnt have this cd comming out, she wouldnt have her boys..she would be just where she was earlier this year. i do respect her, but i mean…she needs to get herself into some REAL therapy, none of this “dance is my therapy” crap.
if this doc didt prove that everythings happening too soon, i dont know what would. she has alot more battles to face..and she should face them before she dives head first back into this “comeback” (imho)

I am so glad that more people seem to voice their support for Britney now. I remember when I use to read the comments here back through her rough times. Everyone was hating and laughing at her. It really riled me up. I hate people who kick others when they are down. The documentary last night was a great insight for those ignorant people.

it feels a little contrived!!! MTV says that she has had a comback but MTV gave her the comback!!! they filmed her winning awards on their show! when she wins a grammy or any other relevant award let me know. Everybody knows the MTV awards are biased…
