Britney Spears is a Walking Disaster!

Published July 24, 2008 by CoutureCentral

Apparently, Britney Spears is working on a new album.. Hasn’t she learned from her last “Blackout” the world believes she’s talentless? The whole Britney trend has come and gone, we actually want to hear singers with real voices! Britney is hoping that she can use all of the chaos she’s created in her life to help her rise to the top of the charts. Britney thought by appearing at an event support autism, it would clean up her image. Well, certainly we are not buying into the hype. How much money did she donate to the cause? What is she doing to help the cause? This was Britney looking for free press to promote herself being a good Samaritan which she is far from! No one will knowingly support someone like Britney who has endangered her own children. Its really sad that she has put those children through so much. She is a walking disaster, she has obviously set a poor example for her own sister and every little girl around the world who wanted to be just like Britney. We all know it was the right decision for Britney to give up her children, it should have happened awhile ago. Now she is free to party as much as she wants without having to worry because her children are now with a responsible parent. We all have a love-hate relationship with K-Fed for appearing as the dancer, wannabe rapper, moocher but he has a brain and appears to be mentally stable. K-Fed has been a great parent because he’s brought consistency to the life of his children. We should all go out an buy K-Fed’s album so he can use the money to support the children.
