Would someone please hand Britney Spears a bottle of Quaaludes, a fifth of Stoli and a copy of Me and My Shadows
on DVD? I mean seriously, people. This girl has been on the Short Bus to Suicide Watch since she was a Mouseketteer. Why must we prolong the inevitable?
Come on, everyone in America thought the same thing when they heard America's favorite pill-popping piecon was hole up in da house with da kids and the po-pos at the door. Admit it. You thought what I thought: "Britney suicidal? Hand the girl a GUN!"
I'm a child of the 1990s. I know what to expect of my "Fame is so hard," celebutantes. (Thank you, Kurt Cobain, for your wonderful example.) Britney, you need to chill. It could always be worse.
You could be Lindsey Lohan.
