my bad, wasn't paying attention.

and also my bad, accidentally posted this in regular chit-chat and one of the mods had to move it. Old habits die hard

Yeah, all those blonde journalists look the same!

Same network, too!

Ahh, just saw this thread, which reminded me of the special!!! I wanted to see it, too bad I wasn't on here earlier, oh well.

I think it was a good interview whether you like her or not. I happen to love her so I thought it rocked....but my roommate who is a much bigger Xtina fan almost cried when Brit did.

I thought it was a good interview too. It was sad that she broke down like that. She really has gone through a lot of crap this past year. And they discussed everything (except Durst). I was suprised that she made that comment about wanting a voice like Christina's.

I didn't wanna listen to that whiny nasal voice of hers, and watching it mute would suck, so can we have a recap please of the things she said? What crap has she put up with and all? I know nothing of her career since her first album so I have no idea what kind of crap she's dealing with.

I do feel bad for her and felt bad that she broke down like that. It was definitely not fake tears. But, I do think she brought a lot of it onto herself. She does a lot of things for publicity. For instance, she denied doing some of the almost-nude photos for shock value. Or even the Madonna kiss. She tried to play up the innocent act throughout the interview. I don't know how much I believe her when she said she's never tried coke. She couldn't even look at Diane Sawyer straight when she said she hadn't. And, of course, she couldn't give Diane a straight answer about what she did to Justin. Diane asked, "You say you've slept with one person. But, Justin said you did something that obviously hurt him so bad. What did you do?" Britney stammered for about a minute and finally said, "Well, technically he's right but technically I am." wtf?
The interview did make me feel sorry for her. She doesn't have any private life. Everything she does is played out to the world. But, like I said before, if she didn't try to shock everyone all the time, I think the papparazzi might not be as inclined to create a feeding frenzy around her.

I actually like Britney and I did kind of feel for her when she broke down - BUT - I feel she is MORE than compensated for her troubles. I'm not saying money buys happiness, but if I had any of the problems she had this past year - I think I could definately soothe my tears with a new car (or 3), new house completely furnished, and so much online shopping I'm drooling just thinking about it!

Seriously though, she gets a bad rap but (like others have said) from stunts she does herself - like the Madonna kiss, c'mon that was for pure shock value and it worked! She KNOWS she is in the spotlight, she KNOWS people are nuts about her, yet she thinks she can have her cake and eat it too so to speak. She is what she is always wanted to be - a star! with all that money, fame and fortune, comes all the other crap unfortunately.

totally agree....

you can't put your private life in front of the world (affirming her virginity made it OK for ANYONE to ask ANYTHING) to get attention and then get upset about it when people call your isht on it later.

I don't feel very sorry for her. For one thing, you have to expect media attention when you're in the business. For another thing, she makes it worse with her publicity stunts. She brings all the crap upon herself and then whines about it. Grow up, Britney.

i didn't watch it b/c i don't care for her or her music...but now i want to know what made her cry?

ZTAngel · #14 11-14-2003, 01:51 PM

Diane Sawyer said, "You had a really tough year. It was a year that would test a lot of people."

Britney said eloquently

"Yeah, it was weird. Very weird. Weird. Ew! I'm crying. Ew! Ew! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Stop taping!!!!!"

Her skin turned all blotchy and her eyes were bright red w/ tears streaming down her face.
