Britney Spears’ lengthy message to fans

I'm talking about the latest message Britney Spears posted on her website. I cut and pasted the entire thing into Microsoft Word and it came back with zero spelling errors. That's right, zero. The message in its entirety:

Dear Fans,

I just wanted to reach out to all of you and explain some of the things that I have been faced with recently.

It's so funny how many stories are put out there about people. It's like we all want our side of the story out there as well, but at the end of the day only a few people care to hear what is really going on since the bad is always so much more interesting than the truth. I don't know why, but this is so weird to me. I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see. I saw Tyra Banks once get really upset and cry on her show because they made her look fat. We all want a certain image of ourselves out there, and at some point we all do really care what other people think or we wouldn't be here.

Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.

This letter is to not place blame on anyone, although I do see the world with a completely different set of eyes now. Being in that vulnerable state and taken to dinners and parties with friends and finding out later you paid for everything was a huge learning lesson for me. I think the whole problem was letting too many people into my life. You never know another persons intentions or what another person wants. I feel I was too open and looking for answers when I had it all to begin with. I have had to cut so many people out of my life. It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person...it is me. When I was little I remember every night watching movies with my family and feeling so at peace. Dancing and singing all the time just like a little girl should. Now recently I find with my children that I want them to have that feeling all of the time. I am having to face a lot of things right now since I have children of my own. A lot of insecurities from when I was little are coming up again. It is like we are never good enough.

I know everyone thinks that I am playing the victim, but I am not and I hate what is going on right now so much. Maybe this is the reason for this letter...to maybe allow people to look at me differently. It is like when you are a real woman and say what you feel and how you think things are supposed to be, that people just say you are a "bitch."

I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me. I think it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a huge divorce. I think it was a bigger issue because I had not gone out in such a long time. I am 25 and I do still have a lot to learn, and I am going to make mistakes everyday, and I am sure every mistake I make will probably be on CNN or Good Morning America. I am only human people and I love you for still loving me.

I am sitting here at home and it is 6:25 and both of my sons are asleep. I am truly blessed to have them in my life. Everyday is so surreal. Life in general is so surreal and crazy.

I just hope this letter made some of you think a little bit more of me and where I am coming from. I just want the same things in life that you want...and that is to be happy. It is just so weird because everyone has their own perception of me and how they think I really am. It is so weird how stories are told. There is your side, my side, and the truth. Somebody has to figure it out. I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That's God's job. I can't wait to meet him...or her.

Love, Britney

Quote of the month...

It is ok to disagree with people regarding certain issues. You’re not being true to yourself if you succumb to others opinions because you feel guilty. (Source)

Wow, congratulations for making it this far down the page. I thought for sure your head would explode after the seventh correctly spelled word in a row. As for Britney's usage of the word "succumb," I have exactly one more college degree than she does and even I would never use that in a sentence.

At least Britney's ghostwriter didn't have the balls to quote Michelangelo

Well, technically, the very end should read: "if you succumb to others' opinions." So she missed an apostrophe. Or, you know, her management team did. Because, yeah, no way in hell Britney wrote this.

I agree with you and Evil Beet that there is no way in Hell she wrote this. However, this little gem also caught my attention: " You never know another persons intentions or what another person wants." It should be "person's". If Brit did write this, congratufuckinglations Britney! I guess the possessive tense is a little more complex than using spell check...

How sad is it that white gloves (and nothing else) is about the classiest thing she has worn since she she first married KFed?

I don't know about you guys, but I didn't have "alot to learn" at 25 years old. I already knew not to ride in a care with my kid on my lap instead of a child seat, and damn sure knew not to forget my panties if I'm wearing a short skirt(I'm a guy, but I have fantasic legs). I hate it when adults fuck up, then play the age game. You can fight and die for your country, but your can't be bothered to use common sense? Britney is losing the death pool to Lindsay, but I do think Britney's death will at least be a funny one. She's gonna drown in mayonaise, or maybe she'll die by trying to have sex with a horse.

Why couldn't Britney write this? She doesn't say anything deeply emotionally introspective, she's not blaming anyone but herself, and if you think about it - what's the big deal? I think she's just trying to become "human" and "real" to the fans that have remained by her side. I wish her the best. I think slamming her is way too easy, and it comes from jealousy or...maybe you think you're intellectually superior somehow :) WOW, that make you SOMEbody! Good job (that's called sarcasm and I spelled that right too.) Become famous, marginally talented and absolutely gorgeous, and then we'll talk about YOU like they talk about Britney. Ready? GO!!
