Britney’s quite the mess, but it doesn’t seem she’s neglectful of her children enough to need constant monitoring by Child and Family Services. The news yesterday from Page Six that Britney is wanted for questioning by the child welfare agency was either fabricated or overblown. TMZ reports that it’s just not true, and that as long as Britney has someone watching the children she should be fine.

Paparazzi agency X17 says that Britney visited a knee surgeon this week for a consultation. She injured her knee two years ago, which sort of led her to K-Fed and derailed her music career. Speculation is that she may need more surgery on it, which could postpone her much-anticipated comeback.

Britney is now trying to mend her public image by replacing that dumb ass morphing tiger on her website with a personal message referencing her issue with undergarments, but it seems like too little too late:

It’s been so long since I’ve been out on the town with friends. [Note from Celebitchy: 4 hours] It’s also been 2 years since I’ve even celebrated my birthday. Every move I make at this point has been magnified more than I expected, and I probably did take my new found freedom a little too far. Anyway, thank God for Victoria’s Secrets’ new underwear line! I look forward to a new year, new music and a new me.

I’m just getting started… Happy Holidays everyone!

This sounds like the trite justifications Lohan uses for her partying. (“I’m 20, don’t all 20 year-olds go out?”) There’s a difference between hitting a nightclub once in a while, and going out every night of the week when you have two young children at home. Someone wrote this for her and told her that she needed to sound contrite. There’s nothing Britney can say that will erase the image of her punane from peoples’ minds.

All of Britney’s actions show that she wants to do everything as she pleases. We’re really disappointed in her and this stupid message isn’t going to change that. She may be the top search phrase on Yahoo! this year, but it takes a lot of work to look away from an accident instead of slowing down and staring.

Is it wrong of me to say that Britney is looking kind of slack recently? If she’s up all night drinking (and probably drugging) she’s surely let up on her fitness and health regime. She doesn’t look as good as she did a month ago, and that kind of partying catches up with you quick. Just look at Lohan.
