"Britney Spears: For the Record" unanswered questions
Well, we all watched Britney Spears' show-little, tell-less documentary last night, right?
The MTV doc was billed as a no-holds barred, full-access mission into Britney Spears' real life, which apparently consists of nothing but dance rehearsals, studio recordings, never-ending hair and makeup sessions, shopping trips, and avoiding paparazzi and fans while toodling around in a black SUV.
What did we learn, other than the fact that she has two fragrances available just in time for Christmas?
We found out she is bored, lonely, afraid to trust others, that she was involved with "bad people," that she wishes she had just gone back to Louisiana after her split from Kevin Federline and that she loves her babies, both of whom are still in her ex's custody.
How she feels about that, we don't know, because she was not asked.
Oh, she also wonders, "What was I thinking?" about her psychotic experiences earlier this year.
Well, Britney, join the club. Because that's what some of your fans are still wondering.
There was absolutely no truth-telling in this mock-umentary.
The whole show was a well-orchestrated, manipulative attempt to make everyone feel very sorry for Britney Spears, who is now trapped once again in a tightly controlled celebrity prison. The doc successfully made it clear that poor little Brit-Brit is a performing monkey in her own "Circus."
All together now, awwwwww!
We did not find out what her mental diagnosis was and is, what kind of medications she was on and is on, what other drugs she may have been taking or been given by unscrupulous people, what caused her to lock herself in the bathroom with one of her children, an episode which ended with her being forcibly taken to a hospital psych ward.
The most telling moment of the entire 90 minutes was when a clearly clueless Britney explained her bizarre public head-shaving with the observation, "Everyone shaves their head."
No, not everyone shaves their head, Britney. I think most people would truthfully say they don't know a single woman who has shaved her head.
Demi Moore and Natalie Portman don't count. That was for movie roles.
What did you think of "Britney Spears: For the Record?" Did you feel that she answered the big questions? What else do you want to know?
And will you buy that book she promised at the end? Was this tell-all documentary just a commercial for her upcoming tell-all book, which is probably already being ghostwritten as we speak?

You mentioned she is promoting 2 "new" fragrances for the holiday season. Those 2 fragrances have been around since 2004. Do your research.
Though I love Britney, they didn't really say anything we didn't really know- I mean it's her private life and all, but I didn't see the point of this whole thing honestly. Though I thought she looked great.
You call yourself a fan? who are you to judge? No celebrity or anyone for that matter would go on TV and air their laundry. its frankly none of our business. This is her private, personal life, we have no business going into it. You should stop being so damn nosy and find something better to do with your time. The questions left "unanswered" were left that way because its none of our business. She is human just like the rest of us and she DESERVES privacy. And if you can't respect that i suggest you stop writing until you understand. Would you like me to inquire about your sex life or married status? no, you wouldn't. So why do it with Britney?
I think you hit the nail on the head. It seemed like a pity show for Brit, a rehearsed pity show, but a pity show none the less . Yeah we all know she's been through a lot. For the most part it was all documented on TV. I think the reason for the show being rate G so to speak is because her over demanding manager Larry rudolph was one of the producers in the doc. Just by watching the show, you can tell he treats her like a trained Bloody monkey. I think if she's lonely and tired of the spot lite. why not go back home and take a nice long R&R break at her families home. long as in a year or 2 not a week!
I do not think the purpose of thi documentary was tell all, it show a little glimpse of what Britney's life is.
Right now her interviews and everything is so controlled by her manager etc that I think she never will answered those questions.. its clearly that she want to close that chapter .. if she tells the truth about drugs, medicines, health conditions etc I think will hurt moree than help her, remember she still doesnt have any kind of custody of her kids... past is past and the future is what matters.
Dear Elizabeth,
Why do you sound so mean?
And what do you have against women shaving their heads? You may not know anyone who has done it, but look at your world....In NYC you can often see women with shaved heads. I have done it myself, and I know at least three others personally who have done it at least once....It is very liberating and exciting....You should try it! Maybe it will make you happier.
Of course the media would tear apart the documentary, cause it wasn't "juicy" enough. Get over it! I think it showed how the mass masteria of the press and how people crowd you can scare you and drive you nuts. How she can't even walk down the street with out security, much less take her children on outtings. Lets not forget you can still do that. You can go out to dinner with out someone writing some bullshit in a magizine or a newspaper about you that is usually miscontrued just like your OPINION of the documentary. You wrote this to get a reaction and I am dumb for giving it to you. I don't think its any of our business what goes on in her life, she gave quite enough, more than most people would give on their personal life. Yeah you can say she made the choice by becoming famous, but the truth is what she said the first 2 years of signings she was like wow I'm famous, wow people are asking me for my autograph then after years it becomes old! Just like any job does. I am sure you don't always like to write, I am sure you don't always like waking up to go to work. I am sure especially when you were her age you REBELLED we all have. WE ALL HAVE MADE MISTAKES the only difference is hers is video taped and documented and fabricated! GET OVER YOURSELF and your PESSIMISTIC ATTITUDE on a young woman that is definitely TRYING!

Are you on any pharmeceuticals at this time? If so what are they? What is your dianosis? Do yo0u consider yourself weak because of your 'prescribed' chemical dependense?????Why can't she just be promoting her album? As if she really needs to, and as much as I dont like her I am still able to admit that she will outsell any deserving artist's feeble atempt at a record coming this month. Let it go. I want to see her achieve an honorable level of womanhood in the future and that does not come to pass by succumbing to higher levels of scrutiny and surveilance from those with a sick and obtuse since of degenerated consumer disdain.
No wonder nobody reads your articles! All you do is bring people down! First, her medications or personal life is none of your business. Second, she will still be successful because of her ability to make people feel SOMETHING whether good or bad (In your case, bad, in which you should think about not saying anything at all if you don't have anything good to say. about them..). You write bad things about someone you don't know, and you are unsure of whether they are true or not. In addition, they have absolutely no utility. I guess they pay you for that... Awww, too bad...Good luck!!!
The chaotic celebrity lifestyle she cultivates mixed with the stress of her career combine to make her extremely vulnerable for additional episodes of mania and depression (if she in fact has bipolar disorder) Stress, lack of routine, irregular sleep patterns, changing time zones, drug abuse/risk for using again ---all of these things combine to make her exceptionally vulnerable to another manic or depressive episode. I wish her luck, but I'm skeptical about how long her combeback will last before she has another episode. Hope she stays on her medicine and has a good team of docs and therapists who are advising her on how to manage her illness.
