Hostage to fortuneJust when I started being happy for Britney again, just when I thought she was back on top again ... I hear this, and people, it makes my skin curl.
Everybody is so quick to credit Jamie Spears for being such a good father, such a devoted parent. Look at how quickly he helped stabilize her life. She can see her boys again! She's got a hit record! She's going to be touring soon! Who cares if she's not ready? The circus is in town, and she's the starring act. She can't back out now; she's got a lot of mouths to feed. Her whole damn family, in fact.
This week's Enquirer reveals the sleazy truth to Britney's comeback. She didn't feel ready to perform live. Her own choreographers didn't think she was ready either. But Papa Spears did. Condemning the professionals for "coddling" Britney and blaming them for her lifeless performances, he cut them out of her life, replacing them with people he chose for her.
This is Britney's life now. She does as she's told, when she's told. If she doesn't, she's either ignored or medicated. It's almost like her childhood, when she was driven to success so her parents could be rich, only this time they use lawyers and pills to control her ... and there's no end in sight. Britney could be a captive cash cow for the rest of her life - or until she runs out of money. Then they'll have no use for her.
