Britney: For the Record

Wow. Er... I'm not even sure where to begin. OK, if you were one of the unfortunates who missed tonight's Britney: For the Record, get the re-air dates HERE. Take it from me, you're gonna want to watch it. Like a good little blogger, I took a few notes... my thoughts:

Cheese Grits: I looked it up. It's like... corn-based. I like corn. I like cheese. I do not think I would like cheese on my corn. (But I bet yours are excellent, Papa Spears!)

Britney Goes Shopping: I LOLed at Britney in the shirt-dress-sweater. It was totally SJP, agreed. Brett: "But you're Britney Spears. You're not Sarah Jessica Parker." Britney: "But I could be her for a day." Laughing out loud

Crazy NYC Guy: That guy in the do-rag and green shirt. You know the one. He completely lost his sh**. I wonder if he woke up that mornin' and thought, "Yep, I'd like to lose my Wheaties on national TV today."

Britney On Relationships: This is where I got choked up. Sad Think how devastating a breakup alone is — that sense of loss and loneliness can be gut-wrenching. But when it's a marriage and two babies are involved? My God, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. It's awful that Britney had to go through that (in public, too), and my heart goes out to her. :Cyber hug: for Brit!

Madonna: I could totally relate to what she was saying about life... I forgot exactly what it was. But I liked it! Otherwise, eh... it's not called Madonna: For the Record. 'Nough said.

Fame: I. Could. Not. Do. It. EVER. I'm not even half the karate kid that Brit is!

I ♥ you, Britney! Like, oodles. Your thoughts? What were you most surprised to find out?

Although I feel so terrible about what she has to deal with in her everyday life. When she said that when she talks to someone it feels as if they aren't really listening, that made me feel so sad, I know first hand what its like to feel as if your alone and that no matter what you say or do it feels like no one is listening. I truly hope she can find some sense of peace, so she doesn't feel so alone.games

MY INGLES IS VERY BAD SORRY

aww..it was so sad who knew? just aired in Ireland last night - loved it!

omg!!! i have been waiting for this for a very long time. but to get to the point, Britney is just the greatest. i was really sad to see and hear how lonely she is. but i was very proud of her to be admitting it and handeling it the way she did. i thought that this doc was the best thing for her image and especially for her fans. i have never given up and always believed in her, and this just gave me a new found passion for her. i just hope that people can start letting her move on with her life and giving her a break because she is the best and absolutely deserves it...I LOVE YOU BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it doesnt matter how many times i would watch that girl fall just to see her strive and get up again.....im mean that truely and honestly. i can never get enough of britney. ever!!!!

Hi Britney, I am a 34 year old mom, wife and nurse. After watching your documentary tonight, I felt like I should give you kudos for opening up to your fans as well as showing us that you have wants, needs and desires like any other woman. I never realized how intrusive the paparazzi are, until I watched your show. My heart goes out to you, I wish that you could experience more normalcy in your life (whatever that looks like to you; a walk in the park with your boys, a girls night out with your best girl friends).

I have read so many kind words from your fans, many of them offering their homes to you as a refuge. I will join them by saying that you are welcome to come for a visit to Saskatchewan, Canada. We are very similar to the people from your home state, down to earth and friendly.
We do have snow, but we get alot of sunshine too!

Happy Birthday and good luck with Circus!

ademas te manda saludes mi madre ROCIO, y mis hermanas JACZUMY, VANESSA y EVELYN

MUCHOS BESOS Y BENDICIONES EN TU CARRERA COMO PRINCESITA DEL POP

I have to say I like listening to some of Britney's music and enjoy watching her video's. I've never been a fanatic about her or any artist. With that said ,I was touched by the documentary, "Britney: For the Record". I think the girl was being straight up in the documentary. When she started crying it tugged at my heart. I wanted to hug her and protect her from the craziness of her life.

I don't know if Britney reads these things, but if she does I want her to know, there are people out here that have respect for her and admire her strength. We all stumble and fall, hence "Seven falls; eight rises. It's called growing and being human. I think you have to have an extraordinary strength to go through what she's been through and come through the other side.

You know it's easy for us as observers to judge, but it's like the saying going. "Walk a mile in my shoes."

Britney, you keep your heart and soul on your children and raise them with love. That is the most important thing you have to do. Keep creating, living ,and being yourself. If you need to get away from the chaos, I have a house on the river where you can stay and be alone.

Thanks for inspiring
John Lightsey

12-3-08, it official. I've gone over the edge. I went out and bought 10 copies of "Circus". It's the only way I knew to support her. And I've watched that darn documentary over and over and everytime it just gets to me.

OMG! I love cheese grits, I can't believe not alot of people new about them, I try to eat them whenever I can. I guess it's just a southern thing.

[ No One On The Corner Has A Swagga Like Us ]

Hello People,
I am writing today to announce my plans to obtain participants via e-mail, and to hold public meetings (TBA) in San Antonio, Texas to enlist volunteers who wish to participate in an informal study. The aim of the study is to determine the statistical correlation (if any) between a change in diet and a change in symptoms. Men or women between the ages of 21 and 50 who experience any of the following conditions are eligible to participate:
Depression/Chronic sadness
Anxiety
Fearfulness
Polar mood swings
Sudden bouts of angry moods (without provocation)
Memory loss
Obesity
Confused speech/thoughts

Persons with insulin diabetes must obtain medical consent prior to participation in this study. This study is completely voluntary, and without monetary compensation. All volunteers participate at their own risk. Information is free.

Participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous. All are advised to obtain the opinion of a medical consultant before participating in the study. It is expected that a substantial number of people will enjoy a beneficial change (i.e. a reduction) of significant symptoms on the condition that they follow the study guidelines closely. The remainder of people might not experience a substantial reduction of symptoms. None are expected to experience a worsening of symptoms as a result or consequent of participation in the study.

The study involves recommending the participants change some of their food selections, and modify their eating schedule to conform to the study program.

Participants are encouraged to purchase new or used copies of the following books which may or may not be in print:

EAT RIGHT FOR YOUR TYPE. By P. D'Adamo, M.D.
THE BIO-DIET. By Luis Guerra, M.D.
THE YEAST CONNECTION.
And various texts on Biorhythm.

These texts may be available from public libraries.

The program involves applying the combined wisdom of these texts to adapt a person's diet to his/her particular strengths and weaknesses and lifestyle. Those who have had (or who frequently experience) any of the listed conditions are encouraged to contact me via e-mail, to get a checklist. The periodic entries to the checklist will be compiled into a statistical analysis to determine whether this approach is working - and if not for all, then for a percentage. The statistical results will be available for a limited time. The participants' personal results are expected to become perceptible between one and seven months, and substantial through one and more years.

To volunteer, write:

Good Luck!

I don’t listen to your music much Brit, but I want you to know that “I love you” for what its worth. I am just a person who really longs to heal the lost and broken hearted and seeing your documentary broke my heart. I see the place that your at and I want you to be free and have the peace in your heart that only God can give. I am married and love my wife more than life. She is the air that I breathe and the peace at my side. She is the everlasting presence of God’s love and grace. I want that for you.

I don’t care what he looks like but I want you to have the best man that will put God first in his life and lift you up in prayer with every chance he gets. I remember watching all the pain that you were going through during those 3 years. I can never imagine the pain that you truly went through, but I can imagine the right man for you. The one of your dreams! I will find him for you if you will let me help.

I went through oodles of trouble to watch Britney: For The Record! I pretended to be stomach sick somy mom would let me stay up a little late. She said until 10 but that was when it STARTED! i stayed up until 11:11 and gor into lots of trouble for defying mom but it was sooo worth it! I was very shocked how Britney was soooo honest. i really expeced her just to say "My life is hard,yadayada" but she was sooo honest and dint hide ANYTHING! My mom always says she is a f*ck up but seriously i get pissed at her so much becuz brit is such a missunderstood and she is a totally sweet and fun person! I absolutely love her and i hate that people judge her soooo bad! I ha dno idea that her and JT were so serious. I loved it that Britney owned up to her actions but they werent MISTAKES. everyone goes through stuff like this and she hasnt had a regular life so she cant deal like any 26 year old can!

All-in-all Britney is a really good person and i love her. If you havent watched you HAVE TO! It is awesome. I luv u BRITtanica!

BritneyFan101

wow

this was the best freeking documentry ever.
she opende up about everything.

BRITNEY: I AM ALL EARS FOR YOU ALL THE TIME !

LUV YOU I WISH YOU THE BEST AND CANT WAIT FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DO.

When her dance instructor/friend mentioned how Britney didn't have the fire and passion in her eyes like she used to, I was thinking how true it was. I mean this past year when you would see her it was like there was no one inside, but now in the Womanizer vid and in the parts I've seen of the Circus vid, she looks like she has the fire back and when you saw her in front of the shower of fireworks it was like magic, proof that she is back and that she still has what it takes.

Although I feel so terrible about what she has to deal with in her everyday life. When she said that when she talks to someone it feels as if they aren't really listening, that made me feel so sad, I know first hand what its like to feel as if your alone and that no matter what you say or do it feels like no one is listening. I truly hope she can find some sense of peace, so she doesn't feel so alone.

Love you sooo much Britney.

P.S. If its any help, I would like you to know that I'm listening just as so many other fans are. We all really do want the best for you.

Dude...the paparazzi were ....unforgettable. unbelieveable. I cannot believe that is how it is for her everyday. I knew it was bad, but not THAT bad. My god. That poor woman. I am glad it is getting better for her though...now if only the media will leave her alone

I love Britney Spears!! Always have, always will. No matter what you go through Britney I will always be there for you, you are continueously in my prayers.

(Btw. I own all of your CD's. You're phenomenal)

i think you papearatsi dudes have taken it too far leave her alone for a little while go focus on someone else. she should be able to take a walk with her boys without being scared. she is a normal person just like me & you, & a good person i understand why she acted the way she did i would have went crazy too! leave her alone! girl if you ever want to get away from all of that then come vistit me. you can hide out here & collect your thoughts for a while i know that s*** sucks!! God bless you!!

Now I remember when Brit came out ten years ago and I love her first hit. Then I never wanted to tell anyone I like her music. My own Boy friend for years would never let me buy her cd's. So I never got into the whole bubble gum teeny booping fad. But After watch her got through hell in the Bull s*** mags, I really could relate to how that would piss a girl off. Man, a divorce and 2 kids gone. Hell ya she is going to stick it to everyone. She is human. I would cut loss and not give a &^%%$ to what anyone wanted of me. I bet for years she was told to jump, no brit thats not high enough. Lets make it harder and throw a wack of camaras in you face so the whole world can take part in a mayjor life change. Because this will make you a bigger STAR.
There is one good thing about this whole mess. I know it sound stupid but now she is kind of tarnished. To me that makes her more relatable. I like the fact that she writes and sing about how every guy uses her, or leaves her hanging. That is what 90% of the women in the world want to hear. Not I have a knight and shining armour that saves me all the time. ladada.
She showed that even a beatiful and talented girl can also be crapped on, and then turn around andwrite a wicked song about it. Like omg let the lady grow and learn to be a strong women. That is why I am proud to say I love her new music. I'm behind this girl and her music 100%.
Peace pretty and dont let haters get you down.

I wanna see it, I live in Australia so I didn't have the chance to see it, does anyone have a HQ download?????? please!

Absolutely LOVED IT! Well anything that involves Brit-Brat I absolutely love! I loved that the documentary gave numerous views of her life, not just her home life but her career life, her mothering life, and her relationship life. It truly showed fans what it's like to be her. Man all I have to say is if I was her I would be so exhausted, she is constantly on the go! Anyways I would have to say that there was 2 parts of the documentary that I really loved and that truly touched my heart. The first was when Britney talks about how there are very cruel parts in this world and then there are very beautiful parts and that you must go through one to get to the other, you can't just have one without the other (tear). That part really hit very close to home for me. The second was when Britney was talking about how she would just like to escape to an island with her 2 boys and a man. Its just very sad. I truly wish her all the happiness in the world and hope that she finds the most wonderful man in the world to share her life with.

Thank you very much Britney for sharing a part of your life with us!

I'm so f***ing glad I watched that.
God I feel so bad for her. I totally started crying when she did. :[
Some parts made me so depressed.
But some parts were just f***ing hilarious.
Man I love Britney. D8

Totally agree with BRITannica, this should make many people shut up and cut Britney some slack. After all she has gone trough, she is doing AWESOME!
At 28 I have been trough a lot of what Britney has gone trough (bad relationships, divorce with children involved, etc), and it is overwhelming just out of the public eye. I cannot even begin to imagine how much more overwhelming is when everyone is watching, photographing and recording your EVERY move, JIKES!. I hope she can find balance in her life with all the things that would really make her happy. oh, and I hope she has a great birthday, it seems like 2009 will be a great year for you Britney, Much Love. Your fan, since 1998.

So the documentary put me in a "thankful" mood! You know its not about how many singles I have, or magazines and posters, its how much I care for this girl! Strangest thing of my life, I don't even know her, but wow, my heart goes out to her! I'm such an up and go person, so spontaneous , and not being able to do that would kill me! I just want her to be well and successful and I will help her achieve that by being a good fan and respecting her as a person, giving her space, and guiding people into taking a closer look and not judging her... Smiling

I think it was how much Britney really does seem to truly love her kids, she seems like a very loving mother and cheese grits sound yummy XD and as for fame, I still think I could do it. I would lvoe to have a singing career.

drive thru America's OLD SOUTH at breakfast time, maybe a good truckstop or diner, and add some grits to the order - its easy! you are deprived! GOT GRITS!!

helbertswimnot

So I guess it turns out that all those things people wanted to know about when she was running around and talking in a british accent really were not there?? Somehow I find that hard to believe, but we all have our secrets! Smiling

I thought some of the most interesting parts were when Britney wasn't even talking at all. Being able to watch Britney and her crew practice their moves was cool. I'm excited about the new video and the TOUR!!!! It's going to be sweet!
