The glory of stardom has its downsides.

I'd like to comment on my own comment.

There are tons of celebrities that are under the same pressure as Britney and Lindsay and them are, but they handle it WAY differently. Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Amanda Bynes, and Anne Hathaway, to name a few, are all level headed celebs that do NOT fall into the same pit that certain other celebs do. It's not a black and white world - you can CHOOSE how you handle things.

In my opinion, Britney's made some VERY bad choices and has brought a LOT of media attention to herself. And it snowballs from that. However, the pops are very annoying and I hate how they butt into people's lives.

But again, on the flipside, as I stated earlier, "The glory of stardom has its downsides." You just have to handle those "downsides" with dignity and respect, for both yourself and others. Britney fails to do that.

I've lost a lot of respect for her. Granted, I never had much for her to begin with, but still...

However, she's a person. And some people aren't treating her like one.

Sorry...I'm kind of all over the place...I hope I made SOME sense.

See, I think you're right, but I also wonder if that's all there is to it.

Britney Spears was a SENSATION back in the day. At least I remember everyone being totally obsessed with her. I don't really think its fair to compare Amanda to her because she was in a totally different world - the world of comedy.

Anne Hathaway would also never be the same as Britney because honestly, she has a look that doesn't cater to the type of attention that Britney got. Britney had to capitalize on the fact that she's hot, while Anne Hathaway is more sweet and demure.

Other adult celebrities, just kind of skip that type of frenzied attention. Well they do still get it, but they're more focused on their profession, then the tabloids.

Other singers from around her time - Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, and Christina Aguilera chose to handle things differently. All of them though suffered low points while Britney was still out and about. Her management (in trying to create publicity) probably had a lot to do with her craziness.

I hope that made sense.
