Why can’t you just leave her alone?
What did she ever do to you?
She sang you a song,
She smiled and looked divine,
You elevated Ms Spears on high,
All too soon to kick the stool,
Hanging her in your public glare,
Flashes to her exhausted eyes,
Cutting words in tabloid hell,
You just wanted to break her spirit,
Are you happy now? Vultures!
Do you even sleep at night?
You vile Paps and your hounding,
You took youth and dried it up,
Do you just shrug and say,
“Oops! We did it again!”
Another star mentally tortured,
For another fat cheque in your bank,
What a filthy job,
You’re ‘Toxic!’

Paul,

You are not alone in your assessment of the
situation. At first I didn't feel bad for her.
She used the press for her own liking for quite
some time. That said, once any decent human
being realizes the woman is seriously in trouble
I don't understand how they can do what they do.

It's such a sad reflection on society in general.
What's worse is knowing that the general public
is glued to their TV's waiting for the news of
her next crisis situation.

It's as if the whole damn world had gone insane.

I could actually feel the venting of your emotions here.

It reveals much about the man you are.

I for one am thankful for people like you because
it confirms that there are still those of us that
have enough compassion to care about someone they
have never met.

best,
andy

At one point, I never thought I'd agree with sympathy for the Pop-Tart, but I agree, leave the poor child alone.

I guess we all need to step back and ask how we would react to fame and all the baggage that's attached. Enjoyed this one Paul.

Dear Paul,
It's so true and you expressed it so well. The darker side of our human nature is so pitiful.

There are those stars who are strong enough ride the waves of their success, but some like Ms. Spears, start to fall early in their careers and because their sense of self was never developed or affirmed, they get pulled by the undertow.

At this point in time, she is truly hanging on by threads, like a woman being stoned in the public square. The vultures watch with uncovered eyes and it makes their day to see her humiliation.

No matter whether one thinks she had talent or not, anyone with a heart has got to be feeling the words you so aptly expressed.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs,
Wilo

So very powerfully said Paul,
and I agree with you 100 percent,
I do feel for her. (huggs)
Expressed beautifully my friend.

Well, got far distant eye on that. Hollywood is very very very far from home (for the distance), from my mind (for my preoccupations). It's no more a human World, imo, and crazy is the one who dream to be part of.
Unfortunately, the now lady, is not the only ex-baby star who failed on the road. Happened before, will happen again as long as we'll allow to have babies to hold the top of the screens.

~ Paulie, your heart is huge...

I don't think there are many who don't know who she is, especially in recent times
but I think you'll find as we have, here...that in general, people feel for her
and wish her well, in her journey...
I firmly believe that for now, she is in the best place she can be
taking time out, and getting the help she needs...

*hugs*
