somehow I don't think you are reading what I am saying, it isn't Jamie Lynn's MOTHER who is crying foul it is mom's of teenagers who are saying that they want people to boycott buying magazines that are selling out her teenage pregnancy. <57>

I agree Stacey, IF it was JL's mother, then hell ya, I'd call BS too but its other moms...totally different take on the story. I would never have thought a year ago that KFed would have been the better parent. Brit needs help in a huge way but how do you help someone who doesn't think they need it. She had sooo much going for her. Its just sad.

Aww, Stacie - it's not about your find on the reading materials. It's about the parents (hello Lynn Spears!!) not throwing their kids out there to be abused by the press. I remember seeing Jamie Lynn doing the toilet-paper-roll karaoke behind one of Britney's video rehearsals about five years ago. Both her mom and she knew what they were getting into. Mom, no excuse. Jamie Lynn, young and imposed upon for family bank. I actually do feel sorry for the kid and think she got knockers to get out of being the family trustfund. Nonetheless, all of the Spears' need their butts spanked. For various reasons.

I don't support anything that Lynn Spears has done and totally think she is the cause of most of the mess her kids are in. I find it sick that she would sell out her daughter's pregnancy, which is what these women (moms all over) agreed with and started the petition for. Which I think most everyone here would agree with, so knowing that. I think most would find it interesting to know that parents are out there somewhere starting a boycott of all media that Lynn sells her kids out to. Similar to what Pamy was saying about not going to TMZ about Brit. Sorry if that caused confusion, this was never about Lynn Spears crying foul or starting a petition, it was about mom's of the rest of the teens in the world starting a petition about what Lynn was doing to exploit Jamie.

It gets even better, now there's Dr. Phil in the mix. I see a sweeps show in the making. LOS ANGELES (Jan. 5) - Britney Spears has apparently checked herself out of the hospital less than 48 hours after a bizarre standoff that brought police to her house and led a judge to award ex-husband Kevin Federline custody of their two sons. PEOPLE reports that Spears got a visit from TV's Dr. Phil McGraw at Cedars Sinai Medical Center hospital. Shortly thereafter, Spears demanded and was granted her release. McGraw then escorted Spears to her car via an underground tunnel.

Mame I agree with you about Frances Farmer...she was from this area and was hospitalized in Western State. A tragic life for such a gifted actress. Britney is getting the same kind of vibes from me!

Ya, I flashed on Frances Farmer too a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, I have an untreated bipolar in my own family, and he made it a point to destroy the cousin's party and huge family party we have every two years with his psychotic behavior. To the point where we will never have another family event which he is invited to unless we have documentation that he is medically treated and not drinking. So if my pronouncements regarding Ms. Spears seem harsh, understand that I and my family have had enough of the untreated bipolar crap and are not particularly caring about the "it's all about me" crowd. No, it's not all about the individual, we've spent 25 years trying to reach you. The rest of us would like a break. From your never-ending drama. Check into a facility. Get help. Go AWAY. We don't need you and won't miss you when you're gone. But your kids will. Get a frikkin grip, Britney.

Stacey, I was going to post from both sides but tend to ramble so kept it to the comment re: the Spears.LOL I have to say (and I know this sounds much crueler than I mean it) but as a mother of three teenage daughters... it is actually easier for me if this story becomes a complete trainwreck. The bigger a joke the Spears girls become, the more obvious the message for my and others daughters. Obviously I don't want to see this girl's life be ruined at all, I hope she comes out of this healthy and happy and wiser. It's just that as a parent there is nothing in it for me to help stop the media juggernaut. I understand the sentiment though and would thoroughly support a boycott of the Spears themselves. Wait... I never buy or listen to Britney's music and my girls have stopped watching Zoey101 on their own. I guess I am already boycotting them. LOLOL

ITA GAL...my sister is (I'm truly being serious) I think emulating Britney right now. She is just all over the place...we know she has depression, but she does shown signs of bipolar and it's just tiring trying to do anything for/with her. I literally try and leave my house everytime she's home; or I put myself in my room (big chaos on Christmas...ruined that too). With Britney...all I know is that she needs to get the hell out of Los Angeles and go somewhere else. That environment is not good. And when I mean Los Angeles, I'm including the paps. Go to Montana, or Utah, or even Louisana. Somewhere where she can take "me" time away from everyone. Unforunately, I don't think her family (mainly her mom) truly cares about her well being. Whatever keeps her daughters in the lime light is what she wants. Maybe, I'm wrong...maybe she does truly want to help. Just from past actions, it just doesn't seem true enough. Or maybe like GAL, said, mom is just tired of it and pulling herself away and letting Brit fall by herself and pick herself up by herself. ITA, Nyheat...she doesn't need a Hollywood "psychiatrist"

I would also note that I have tried to keep my comments to Jamie because she is the one in this mess I have the most sympathy for. Britney is still an unknown. If she is battling a mental illness with a bunch of yes-men around her that have helped make the problem worse or is it a drug issue? What is known though is that Britney calls the paps daily to let them know she is going out and where. If they don't react to her the way she wants, she gets out of her car and interacts with them. She has them run errands for her like they are her personal posse. She even has one guy that she has been taking into a hotel room for hours at a time the last few days. Beckie, so true. Britney needs out of the spotlight for an extended period of time. Keep in mind though that momma Spears has had little or no contact with Britney for some time now. Her current attention seeking is all her doing. Dr Phil has just turned himself into the world's worst ambulance chaser. Has he changed that much in the last 4 yrs or has the shine just worn off?

I think the way the students were talking about it that is was more a boycott of any media that chooses to promote Jamie's teen pregnancy. I was impressed how many of them had went and signed it, honestly. To be in a room of teenagers that think it is wrong to see all the promotion it has gotten was refreshing. It was more refreshing than how it was taken here!! LOL I am over it all, I am still confused as to why the confusion but I am with the others that posted that they are not going to TMZ or reading any of the garbage on these girls. I hope all the children involved can find some peace and happiness.

Yeah that one meltdown night of Britney's gave Perez's site over 10 million hits. I think the last time he posted about a record number of hits was when he hit 4 million original hits in a single day. Looks like these sites won't be going away for a long time. I'll admit, it's part of my morning coffee routine. Not TMZ though.

Well, the Disney channel can't really show a preggers star, now can they? And Dr. Phil? Ugh. I've never been a fan of his, but to hear that he's now inserted himself into the Britney train wreck is (almost) beyond belief. I hear he's planning an intervention. WTH? What she needs is someone who's not chasing fame and fortune via the media. And Dr. Phil definitely does NOT qualify! I still say Brit needs to head to the nearest mountaintop and contemplate her naval. For a year. No contact with anyone. And still... those poor kids. I agree, isn't it odd that KFed has turned out to be the stable parent? Good for him, though!

Well, it seems as though no one has stepped up to help Britney, and that everyone is content to just watch her spin out of control. HEY, it can't do any more damage to have him there, I think she needs Dr. Phil and Dr. Drew. Whatever will help her, IMO.

I so agree Escapee, if Dr. Phil wants to help, let him. I just hope it doesn't turn into a tv show and somehow I doubt it would. If I could help her, I would. Hes already rich and famous, hes not doing it to be more-so.....at least I hope not...

I lost all respect for Dr. Phil when he said he had info on Natalie Holloway and it all turned out to not be true. Why would the hospital let him in if she didn't ask for him? I feel that he is simply trying to jump on her bandwagon and get some publicity. I'm actually hoping that Kevin will somehow step up and help her. I think he may be one of the very few who can.

The Zoey show had already filmed its final season, so there was never a question of whether they would continue filming with a pregnant star. The question was whether they would continue to show reruns and then the final season., As for Dr. Phil, I understand that the children's father's family has a great relationship with them, and they *requested* that he try to intervene for the sake of the children. I also understand that Britney refused to speak to him. His bottom line has always been putting the children first, and I imagine that's why he tried to help here also.

I dunno. When the news announcers this morning said Dr Phil was "helping" Brit, they introduced him as "TV star" and "celebrity doctor."

Being the resident conspiracy theorist I am, I can't help but think this is all just a publicity stunt, because everyone likes a good comeback. If she bounces back from this, and she thrives, becomes the "model" mom, star, philanthropist, etc. her selling power, book and movie deal will make her richer than Bill Gates. I thought all along that her marrying that "underdog" federline was a stunt to push his stardom, etc. I think she felt her celebrity status on the downhill slide, and she felt that she needed to push that sled down the hill harder, so she could make it up the other side of the higher mountain, JMO.
