Britney Spears: coffee, cigarettes, bruises & the busted weave

fp_4734246_spears_britney_fp1_032210

Oh, Britney. You know I love this girl. And you know I worry about her. And right now I’m particularly worried about her, because this is not a girl who looks well. There have been various times over the past few years where people were like “oh, nuts, the pink wig will be coming back any minute now” where I disagreed. Granted, Britney usually has at least one busted thing about her appearance – usually it’s the weave. But lately, doesn’t it seem like Britney’s general busted-ness is growing? In these photos from yesterday, Britney is seen with two cigarettes in her hand (that’s also clasping Britney’s current crack, Starbucks). Her weave is just… gross. And her lipstick? Ugh. She doesn’t look like she’s bathed. Her clothes… ugh. Britney, pull it together sweetheart. We love you.

Anyway, Britney was out with Jason Trawick yesterday, so it does seem like they are still going strong, despite the rumors of their split. Is Jason keeping her sane? I don’t know, honestly. But I feel like this situation is a disaster waiting to happen. And to make matters worse, the whole Kesha-dissing-Britney story has legs. Apparently Kesha not only gives interviews disrespecting Brit, she also sings songs disrespecting Brit. But Kesha is trying to backtrack:

A reportedly “new song” by soggy glitter bomb, Ke$ha, was unofficially released on YouTube today. The song is grabbing attention because the lyrics directly attack Britney Spears.

In the song “Styrofoam,” Ke$ha sings: “In ten years/ Britney Spears/ Britney…who?” Because, you know, it isn’t like Britney has been making music for the past 12 years.

The song caused an outrage and Ke$ha went on immediate damage control, giving an interview to So You Think You Can Dance (the first place stars turn to clear their name), saying that she didn’t write the song, that it was recorded when she was 15 (in 2003) and that she chose not to include it on her Animal record because she has “mad respect” for Britney.

However, a few things don’t add up about Ke$ha’s excuses for the song. For one thing, the “Styrofoam” song talks about sleeping with guys, smoking cigarettes, partying and getting tattoos–not exactly the type of subject matter a 15-year-old would sing about, even with Ke$ha’s “bad ass” posturing.

Ke$ha has a couple major reasons to backpedal but the biggest one may be that she sang back-up vocals on Britney Spears’ song “Lace and Leather.” Oops!

Yeah, I’d be willing to bet that Kesha is such a f-cking loser that she thought she could make fun of Britney and everyone would be like “Oh, Kesha is right, and Kesha is a punk goddess.” And when people were actually like, “Jesus, will someone get this f-cking drunk child to shut the hell up” Kesha began to eat sh-t. Someone needs to school these drunken children.

Oh, Fame Pictures notes that Britney is bruised up too. I know my first thought probably should have gone to “someone is beating on Britney” but I actually think this girl is self-harming. So sad:

    You guys should be careful about what you write. A bruise on her arm to you is self harming? I can almost guarantee that that one single bruise isn’t self inflicted.

  2. Peach says:

    Awww.
    She actually looks okay from the neck down. Like she’s not showing her ass or wearing anything insane.
    But her face is what bothers me. She has no glow, no life in her eyes. It looks like a mask.
    Poor girl. I once read in Rolling Stone that she was offered up as a modern day Lolita where we could all watch her deflowering and eventual spiral down. Which makes me sad for her because I think she knows it.
    I hope she’s doing okay.

  3. Just a Poster says:

    Well her outfit actually looks pretty pulled together for her. I like the top.

    Maybe she banged her arm on a door knob? I always hit my hallway door. Yes I am a major klutz.

    And perhaps she gets dark circles under her eyes during her cycle? I do..

    Or.. I am the queen of denial.

    Either way I can’t imagine living under the constant watch of the paps, having my every outing photographed. Ugh.. I am lucky to get out the door in the morning while sporting my jammies dropping off the kids at school.

    Thank God for being a non celeb and dark sunglasses.

  4. Chelly says:

    Dont jump to the whole “shes being beaten” hype…bruises r bruises. Sometimes they pop up from the slightest things. O, & she really does look like shit…poor thing.

  5. Jack says:

    she looks dead in the eyes 🙁
    and she doesnt take care of her looks.. never.. sad

  6. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Maybe it’s not a bruise. Maybe she was coloring on herself & just didn’t wash it off? Where are her people? She needs a main gay to do her hair & make up every day.

  7. bite me says:

    birt brit is sad smut

  8. bellaluna says:

    Her eyes worry me. They’re dull. There’s no spark, no twinkle, no sign of life, like Xenu’s gotten to her like he did to Katie and sucked the life right out of her. Or like she’s been seriously over-medicated.

  9. Ruby Red Lips says:

    I agree that a single bruise does not make self-harm. I often have random bruises -generally from being a clutz, so Britney’s is probably harmless.

    I don’t see why she can’t wear everyday clothes and not brush her hair if she doesn’t want to – if we were dressed and styled everyday, I’m sure everyone would be desperate just to throw some clothes on and be your albeit messy self

    I agree that she looks like the life is draining from her, I guess not having control of your life coupled with the surreal existence and mental health problems are hardly likely to have her beaming with joy.

    I really hope Britney recovers enough, but I’m not convinced that she ever will, I fear a MJ type existence is where she will end up, but who knows, I hope I am proven wrong

  10. lucy2 says:

    She does seem sad. Hopefully she keeps it together and if she needs more help, gets it. I’m not a fan of hers, but have a lot more sympathy for her than some of her peers.

    I wouldn’t assume one small bruise means anything. I bang into stuff all the time, and she does have two little boys too. Stuff happens.

  11. terry says:

    She looks as if she has had no sleep for a few days. Thats all. Amazing nipples, even with a bra on they poke through!

  12. embertine says:

    I have a massive bruise on my leg right now. Perhaps I’m getting beaten on… by my cats? Or maybe I just walked into a worktop.

  13. Lway says:

    I think she looks pretty good! As for the bruise – i have bruises all the time from walking into things – maybe she just bumped her arm – or maybe one of her little ones bit her – whatever, i don’t think it’s reason for panic.

    @ Kaiser Yeah, I’d be willing to bet that Kesha is such a f-cking loser that she thought she could make fun of Britney and everyone would be like “Oh, Kesha is right, and Kesha is a punk goddess.” And when people were actually like, “Jesus, will someone get this f-cking drunk child to shut the hell up” Kesha began to eat sh-t. Someone needs to school these drunken children.

    You know – i sit here everyday waiting for 15h00 (SA Time) to read the next post – you really make my day! Thanks for the laugh!!

  14. Erin says:

    I agree with previous posters that it might be a bit much to speculate that she’s self-harming. Not that she isn’t, but one bruise doesn’t prove anything. She does look completely miserable, though. I really feel for her.

    side note: quoted article’s description of Kesha as a “soggy glitter bomb” is soo hilariously accurate

  15. LindyLou says:

    She looks miserable, tired and sad. I really hope she pulls her sh!t together.

  16. Sarah says:

    I’ve never been a Britney fan. But the look in her eyes… I just kind of want to give her a hug.

  17. e says:

    I agree with the above. I bruise myself all the time not paying attention and running into things, etc. I also have two burns on my arm that I got from the oven rack when I was pulling tarts out of the oven. People do have accidents.

  18. Praise St. Angie! says:

    ha! I’m so glad to know I’m not the only person who walks into things.

    I always “joke” that when summer comes around, people probably think that my bf beats me because of all the leg (and sometimes arm) bruises I have.

    I think she looks OK from the neck down, too. It’s that busted weave that ruins her look. She should take it out, go “short” for the summer, and just work on growing it out.

  19. Sudini says:

    I agree – she just looks like she feels empty and sad. I really hope she finds herself and is able to truly enjoy her life. I wish she’d get out of LA for a while..go live on a ranch somewhere, riding horses and finding herself..or something like that.

  20. Melanie says:

    Weave Britney alone!

  21. Lady Nightshade says:

    What is with the scary reflection in the first picture. Freaking me out!

  22. mopo says:

    The dead eyes and flat look have everything to do with medication.

  23. Jane says:

    I agree with you, Britney looks really depressed. As someone here said, her eyes don´t have the same glow as she used to have.. It´s like she wears her lipstick like china doll only in the center of her lips.

    I have never really cared much of Britney, but I think she is a great entertainer! I hope life has better things to offer her in the future.

  24. I do not understand this Kesha person. What is she supposed to be?

  25. CeeCee12 says:

    I am absolutely not a fan but it is hard to watch someone disintegrate so publicly.
    Something happened to her and broke her and who knows what that could be. Anytime you have a parent willing to sacrifice their child’s well being for money and fame there is bound to be tragedy there.
    Enter some drugs and family mental health history and you get Brittany Spears:Cautionary Tale.

    There have been rumors of her self harming so I can buy seeing a bruise as possibly self inflicted.

    She looks unkempt in a mentally ill way.She is skidding out again. I was thinking it too. Poor thing..

  26. Tia C says:

    I bruise really easily, and I’m kinda klutzy and have a tendency to walk into things, so I almost always have a bruise somewhere on me. That doesn’t mean someone is beating on me or I’m self harming, and I don’t think Brit having one bruise on her arm means either of those things, either.

    I’m just glad she’s wearing a bra for once. They look better up, not hanging halfway down her tummy. Maybe tomorrow she’ll figure out how to brush her hair. Baby steps…

  27. J W says:

    no wonder she has to lipsynch everything. if i smoked and was that self destructive to my body, i would be done too. time to roll her over and stick a fork in her…… shes done….

  28. moo says:

    I figured out why she’s so “crazy”. No one will leave her the F**K alone!

  29. scotchy says:

    i too am a massive klutz and always have a bruise or two kicking around.. but yes brit looks just dead in the eyes and that weave, the weave has got to go.
    the bra however. that should remain on. always.

  30. Kelaa Khaa says:

    The first picture scared me as well, it was the first thing I noticed. Jason has a manic look in his eyes and I also noticed that Brit is a lefty which makes her more endearing. I hope she can get away from all those vampires sucking away her life energy and make a life doing something that she actually wants to do.

  31. wilson says:

    Watch the movie about Frances Farmer, starring Jessica Lange. There is poor Britney. I used to love her father for stepping in, but she should not have been sent out on tour. Watch that movie, it will break your heart.

  32. Mentok the Mind Taker says:

    It looks like she gave herself a hickey.

    I think she should pack up the kids and spend the next six months in Tuscany.

    Oh wait… I meant, I should.

  33. d says:

    pretty much whatever everyone else said…

    although, maybe she’s just pissed that photos are in her face AGAIN. Maybe it’s just a weary “oh, F*** off” expression.

    It is too bad she can’t just get out of LA and live a private life.

  34. F says:

    I noticed a similar bruise on her opposite arm in the gas station pics.

    I <3 Brit and hope she gets well.

  35. thepickle says:

    Maybe she’s just tired..she is morphing into middle age mom just like the rest of us who have two kids. Do you think she has super human powers?

  36. Leshie says:

    OMG you people crack me up. It’s obvious that she doesn’t look amazing in these pictures..But then again I’m sure she’s just chillin at home. She doesn’t need her makeup artist to do her makeup everyday. She is a normal person who has down time too. Grow up! And a bruise…OH NO! NOT a bruise! She has two small kids! DUH Grow UP!

  37. imo says:

    How old is this girl? She looks ancient…this is really sad. I just want to hug her 🙁

  38. Aspen says:

    It looks like eczema.

  39. JM says:

    I have a bruise on my shin. Am I a self-harmer?

    Anyway, I DON’T love Britney and I don’t care how busted she is. Girlfriend made a billion dollars with no talent, and if she can’t keep herself together, then boo-f’g-hoo.

  40. andrea says:

    “someone needs to school these drunken children” hahaha! so funny. and true. and sad.

    i think brit is existing, not living. it seems like a double edged sword with her b/c when she’s not being controlled via her dad/medication, adnan galib and sam lutfi happen – when she is being controlled, she’s stable and out of some harm’s way, but not happy and still self-destructive – this girl is quickly becoming a contender for lung cancer. she looks so over it – happy women dont go out and about looking a mess all the time – not caring about your appearance or wellness is not a good sign. stabilized and tranquilized is the best i can say for her.

    i think she has real mental health issues and probably needs more aggressive and specialized mental health care than she’s getting. a favorite rant of mine= this country doesnt put sufficient emphasis on the legitimacy and importance of mental health care.

  41. Cinderella says:

    When you have small children, it’s not uncommon to end up bruised. Sometimes kids play rough.

    Hang in there, Britney.

  42. Joanna says:

    You clearly know nothing about self harming or what it looks like. So please educated yourself before talking about stuff you clearly know nothing about. Like someone said before she has 2 sons, it’s more than likely that they were playing a little too rough with mama and she got hurt.

  43. JDizzle says:

    the face of that guy (her bf?) in the main Britney picture is seriously creepy

  44. Kate says:

    She has 2 young sons… there’s no possible way she could have gotten bruised playing with them? Or even just bumping into a table? I have at least 3 bruises on my body at any given time and 99% of the time I don’t even know where they came from. 1 bruise =/= self harm

  45. snapdragon says:

    ruh-roh.

  46. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “99% of the time I don’t even know where they came from”

    lol…add that to my comment above.

    I’ll find one on my thigh and go “how did I get THAT?”

  47. CeeCee12 says:

    I totally understand self harming behaviors. It is not just cutting. Since there have been reports about her doing this I just look at her bruises differently. Doesn’t mean in every case I think this but with people with history of that behavior I am more skeptical.

    Who is this boyfriend of hers?

  48. dee2 says:

    Poor Brit Brit, I actually feel sorry for this girl. I highly doubt those bruises are self inflicted, looks like she bumped it on something..not a big deal. I have bruises pop up on my legs and arms all the time without realizing i ever hit something.

  49. Squirrel says:

    Remember that first ever album (or was it single) cover? 10 years ago – and it seems a lifetime. Wish her the happiness, fun and hope back. Looks like she could really do with it.

  50. Amy says:

    The girl has never been known for her sense of style. She doesn’t know how to dress herself or do her own make up–she really needs a stylist.

    But I agree she looks rough–and if she keeps smoking and drinking Starbucks all the live long day she is going to look 50 by the time she turns 30.

  51. Kim says:

    She needs to rewrite the lyrics to Keisha who?? in 5 months Keisha who????

  52. Melanie says:

    I keep looking at the guy behind her in the main photo and laughing. He either looks like he’s seen a ghost, or he is a ghost himself.

  53. The Old KC says:

    That bruise looks a lot like a bite mark. When you have toddlers, that kind of thing can happen quite a bit. Even well adjusted toddlers/preschoolers commonly bite – it’s considered fairly normal behavior from what I understand. Otherwise, I have to agree that she looks burned out, which I predicted about 10 years ago when I started reading about her eating habits…I thought, well, she may be young but you can’t eat Cap’n Crunch and drink Coke constantly and keep that amazing body she had.

  54. The Old KC says:

    OK, so I re-examined the pics and actually her figure looks really good…still think she could use some better nutrition. Her color is really off. Eat some spinach, Brit!

  55. kimberly says:

    brit looks decent

    as for that kesha no talent pretend vocal artist?

    that bitch needs to go away.

    her record company is trying to make her the new britney, yes they are pay attention, and i really hope that people aren’t that stupid to go along with her boring generic been done beats.

  56. Emily says:

    I disliked Kesha before, and now I hate her. Britney’s been performing since Kesha was a little girl, and her fame will last a hell of a lot longer than Kesha’s. At least Britney can hire songwriters who can come up with more than three words that rhyme with each other. Urgh. When Kesha’s been around for a decade, THEN she can slag off people. Not when you’ve got two shitarse songs.

  57. sandra says:

    i am not the hippest person, but whoever this keisha persons camp is sure knows what they are doing. just use britney so that even i have heard of that kid now. sick!

  58. AnonPlus says:

    When I look of that pic of Britney and her boyfriend….I thought to myself…

    Oh good lord. He’s beating her. His eyes look that of an intense stalker.

    He seems to have the potential of being a batterer. Britney is clearly being abused in this relationship.

  59. ViktoryGin says:

    Ok, let’s not paint Britney as this self-sacrificing mom of two like she is in the same category as your protypical mother. Britney, I’m fairly sure, has a team of assistants dealing with the mundane aspects of life. I’m sure the maid is doing the dishes while Brit has her right hand man call for the paps to be outside of the local Starbucks because she’s about to do a caffe mocha run in about 30 minutes. I would seriously like to know the ratio of diapers that she’s changed. Please.

    This is girl who clearly has not gotten over her delayed teenage rebellion, and I honestly think her obvious apathy for her physical appearance is a tacit “fuck you” to the media and to everyone else who gives a damn, cuz apparently she doesn’t.

  60. Tesa says:

    That bruise looks more like a burn than a bruise.

  61. Dannni says:

    Stay on your anti-psychotics dear. Yes, they make you looked bloated at times, but it’s worth it. Some people here need to realize that persistent mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar are an ongoing battle and med combos have to be tried to see if they work. Many patients will not comply to meds, however, I am sure her custody agreement requires it.
