'Britney Celebrity Defense League' Grows
BRITNEY'S WEEKEND MELTDOWN WAS APPARENTLY THE Topic Du Jour at the Palm Springs International Film Festival where the list of members of "TBCDL" grew longer. For those of you new to CrabbyGolightly, that's short for the Britney Celebrity Defense League. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Ellen Page, the teenage star of Juno, scorned the public's judgment of Britney's behavior. "No one goes, "Why is this happening? They just judge and judge and judge. It's too bad." And Amanda Bynes of Hairspray fame, purportedly lamented: "I think that this business just does weird things to people, and I think it's sad." Crabby is lobbying for Hollywood's A-listers to throw a supportive arm around Brit. Kicking Britney when she's down has become America's favorite sport. Even the mighty New York Times got into the act this weekend when it ran a story headlined, "Gee. A Bizarre Britney Incident. Imagine that?" I thought journalism's vow was to "afflict the comfortable and to comfort the afflicted." I guess the mission gets confusing when your subject clearly fits into both categories.
In La La Land, it seems few kid actors escape an early spotlight unscathed. One exception frequently noted in the press is Natalie Portman, who credits her parents with keeping her grounded. With all the recent talk of "interventions," perhaps Natalie's mom and dad can give some lessons in parenting to the elder Spears? Or is class not teachable?
