Britney one more time?
As I’ve been traveling to and from London this week I’ve been reading The Metro, and The London Paper daily and once again Britney Spears seems to be talk of the press, however, once again and I have to say unsurprisngly it’s not good press she’s getting!
It seems that the young innnocent nice ‘Christian’ girl image that Britney started off with when in 1999 ‘Baby one more time’ was released is in shreds, and through her own doing.
This week the news articles have told of her getting her head shaved (see right) after
her ex-husband threatened to get her hair tested for drugs to help his battle for custody, along with checking in and out of re-hab twice before going there for the third time last night. It seems to me that the star who was described by the bbc as;
‘One of the biggest-selling female stars in music history, she has been trying to redefine her image from that of innocent teen idol to raunchy sex icon.’
Has took this image change too far. Of course there’s more to the story than what I’ve said above, in the last couple of years there’s been articles of her 55 hour marriage in Vegas to a childhood friend and more recently her split from husband Kevin Federline via text in november which has been followed by the London papers telling the world of her partying lifestyle with friend Paris Hilton which has included her collapsing, being very drunk and showing the world that she forgot her underwear!
It seems the star who once said that she intended on staying a virgin until she was married and said she’d far rather go to church than get drunk has had a change of mindset and seems set on destroying her career and reputation.
I think one sad thing here is that fans who have probably followed right from Baby one more time are being left dissapointed, perhaps Christian girls who saw her as a female Christian role model are feeling betrayed and to put a Christian twist on this I think it shows that God is the only person we should ‘idolise’ so to speak because he will never let us down. I think that it’s a shame that the music industry and fame seem to have stole Britney’s faith (if she had one and it wasn’t just a marketing ploy) and I think that perhaps this could be the end of Britney’s career.

I’ve refused to read the Britney stuff. She has the right to her privacy, and right now she’s prolly very scared and vulnerable and could do without us judging her.
and besides, to `hit` someone is to make sex with them, so singing `hit me, baby one more time`, doesn’t suggest squeeky Christian to me
