My relentless pursuit of Britney Spears news continues...

[schild]

I want someone to light her on fire.

[Lantyssa]

♪We didn't start the fire♪

[Der Helm]

Looks like I have finaly found a diet that would work for me.

Too bad I can't afford it.

When the only talent you have is sex, your career is doomed to the short-term.  People are fickle, especially men. 

The picture reminded me of the obvious so I thought I'd restate it. .

[Mrbloodworth]

Just posting due to a complete lack of Brit-brit images.

To add to what nebu said, it doesn't hurt to have random, sex moans in the background of every song, or cued to come in before every word you say. 

Now for talent and sex, in the pop world.

(LMFAO)

Christina would be hot if she didn't always look like she had fallen face first into her make-up case.

[Jeff Kelly]

Well it's called make-up not 'finger-painting your face'

[Mrbloodworth]

lol.

[Riggswolfe]

Is it just me or does Amy Winehouse look like she has "Egyptian child syndrome"? You know, big bulging belly because you're starving? I'm referring to those before and after pics on the last page...

[Sir T]

I thought that too.

[HaemishM]

When your diet consists of whiskey and as much smack as you can shoot into your veins, nutrition is usually not high on the list of priorities.

[Ookii]

Well at least we have photographic evidence that she was normal at some point:

I'll remind you that serial killers also get described as "normal looking" during interviews with the neighbors.

Was this posted allready?

A combination of 2006 and 2007 would yield an awesome Uncle Fester.

Winehouse taken to London emergency room
music-20080728-People.Amy.Winehouse



LONDON — Amy Winehouse was taken to an emergency room at a London hospital Monday night, but the reason was not immediately clear, a spokesman for the Grammy-winning singer said.

An ambulance took Winehouse from her north London home to University College Hospital, spokesman Chris Goodman said. He said he did not know what might be wrong with the 24-year-old.

Winehouse's musical success has been overshadowed by her tumultuous private life and public struggles with drugs and alcohol. Her father has said she developed early stage emphysema from smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine.

London Ambulance Service said it was called to an address in north London at 8:40 p.m. local time.

"We sent an ambulance and a fast response car and the patient has been taken to hospital," it said in a statement without naming Winehouse.

I keep forgetting to officially add her to my dead poo!

[Merusk]

I want someone to light her on fire.

This reminds me of the old Dennis Leary joke about Keith Richards.  It also begs the question, if you cremated Winehouse and Richards, whose ashes would get you higher?

[Sir T]

The sad thing is that Keith Richards when shown today always has a glass with what looks like whiskey in front of him. It isn't whiskey, it's iced tea. He cant drink anymore or it will kill him, but he still wants to have the hard man appearance of having a glass full in front of him.

I keep forgetting to officially add her to my dead poo!   

 

If she survives the year I will be surprised. If she makes it to 30 I will think it is the apocalypse. If she makes it to 40 I will eat my own liver on national TV.

[Paelos]

Barring a major lifestyle change she'll be dead before it gets warm again. Nobody will be shocked. She will become the newest posterchild for drug abuse and denial and a horror story people will tell the kids to scare them.

I can hope she doesn't kill herself in that route, but better people with similar problems couldn't kick drugs like that.

Gonna be a mighty fine harvest this year.

[Sir T]

The sad thing is that the horror stories wont work. People will realize that being scared does not equal getting "fun", rationalize all it away and then get high regardless.

[Sir T]

And just so we can remind ourselves of some reasons for her going into a drug fueled haze lets take a look at the darling "love of her life", her "soulmate", the one that sold pics of her with a crack pipe and is currently serving time in prison for assault, her husband. Who of course has nothing to do with starting her decline



See the goodness shining out of his eyes..

[Rishathra]

Wow, he really will make an awesome dad.

[Sky]

Every artist needs a muse.

[schild]

I hope he gets hit by a bus.

[HaemishM]

If the bus has smack on it, we can be reasonably assured of the high likliehood of such an event.

[Tale]

Something to see.

1997: Pete Doherty queues for Oasis album

2005ish: Pete Doherty interviewed in his garden

2008: Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse abuse baby mice

I think it was Q magazine that described Amy Winehouse as "replacing Pete Doherty as the media's favourite talent squanderer". Don't get me wrong though, I'm a huge fan of Pete Doherty (for this kind of stuff) and Amy is also hugely talented, unlike Britney.

[Sky]

I disagree with what you said. 

[Endie]

The one that upsets me is Shane MacGowan.  The man is one of a very few people in modern popular music writing lyrics that genuinely stand up by themselves as as poetry.  I'd call him a latter-day Burns.  And artists who have visited him in recent years describe sheets of paper lying around with lyrics of such quality on them that they would break your heart.  But the guy just has to play up to the idea of the great Irish drunken artist: an apparently conscious decision to emulate Brendan Behan.  Now that is a fucking waste.  Spears, Winehouse and Docherty together couldn't hold a candle to him.

[Sir T]

One of the the best pics I could find of McGowan outside of the pogues official website. Some of the other ones out there are truly revolting. Granted the teeth issue isn;t really his fault, he has a chemical imbalance in his mouth, or so the official explanation goes.

And I'm sorry Endie. McGowan was brought onto a British TV program to discuss the Irish Smoking ban and he could not even string a coherent sentence together. Ill he could do was slur "they arn't gonna enforce it" and several pathetic attempts to say other things just ended in grunts. His behavior got so bad that about 10 years ago the Pogues committed commercial suicide and kicked him out because they were sick and tired of sobering him up to do an album and his behavior on stage was just disgraceful. Its gotten even worse since.

Sometimes a poor bastard is just a bastard.
