Britney Spears is sad. Really sad. So we see in "Britney: For the Record," a new MTV doc that trails the beleaguered star as she tries to reboot her life. She starts her mornings with a bowl of Velveetacheese and grits—"breakfast of champions," her father Jamie calls it— and it's all kind of downhill from there. Lots of crying. Lots of silence. The result is as sunny as Kafka: "I totally lost my way," she says. Sad but true.

    why does Britney Spears HAVE to be thin? I know many women who are beautiful inside and out, Even if they are a little overweight or obese. In this obese society, men are going to have to like their women with a little more weight on them than those anorexic and obese models that are always in magazines, which does not represent majority America. I love WALL-E for that exact same reason. It addresses Obesity and has a message about polluting our Planet! Go Green!

    I'm on team Britney. She has talent. Ya, her life took a turn for the worst, But she is trying to get back on track. Hopefully it all works out for her. K-Fed can suck dick.

    Maybe this is all true, but the good news is that Britney is back to her fighting weight and looks so smokin' hot that it is almost unimaginable. The world is a better place when Britney is thin and in the news a lot. You go girl!
