Britney Spears

Out of all the bad habits American's have, Britney Spears has to be one of the leading ones. We can't get enough of the crazy celebrity gossip that floods the magazine stands as we stand in line at the grocery store, or the news stories about the latest trouble so-and-so has gotten into. Most Americans know more about the tragedies going on in celebrities' lives more than they know about the wars and terrors happening in their own, and the leading queen of bad behavior comes from none other than Ms. Britney Spears.

From spontaneous marriages to a bald head and a recent bi-polar diagnosis, Britney has managed to entertain America even after her music stopped playing on the radio. So, yeah, may she HAS cleaned up a little bit compared to the meth-smoking and ecstasy-popping accusations that were seen on the covers of many newstand magazines, but she still has a long way to go before the population takes her seriously again. And I mean a looong way to go. She has managed to bounce back in her music career with her latest song "Womanizer" but how long will she keep up her cleaned-up image?

If Britney can't accept the fact that the media is going to do the best they can to break her down then she needs to get out of the business before it kills her, literally. She needs to cut off the crazy partying and any offbeat behavior because the second the camera finds her slipping up it's going to blow up across the newstands. She needs to think about her behaviors and be more in tune with what she's doing because of all people she should know that the camera is ALWAYS watching. For instance, Britney keep a closer watch on your kids! Not only has the camera caught her driving with her child in her lap, but also with her kids holding her pack of cigarettes. She needs to care more about her diet and her health because the cameras are waiting at every drive through window hoping to catch her pigging out on that Big Mac and large fry.

But in the end I think Britney needs to think about choosing a time to retire, because being a superstar in today's world is much harsher and shorter lasting than rising to the top in the 80's or even early 90's like Janet or Mariah did. This makes it much more difficult to have more successes over slip-ups. So Britney, get a couple more tracks out, retire while you're on top and have a good image, then go live your life like an adult with a family!
