Britney Spears Seems To Be Drowning In Troubles

Hot Britney Spears Seems To Be Drowning In Troubles, So Why Won't She Listen To Anyone?

One of the perks of being a superstar is that it frees you from worrying about the little things, like what clothes to wear to a photo shoot, how to style your hair, how you're getting to the recording studio and where your next meal is coming from.

Sure, hands-on multitaskers like Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani make a point of being involved in even the most minute decisions about their next project or a product bearing their name, but they also know when to let go and listen to the advice of their trusted teams of advisers, managers, publicists and assistants.

So why does it seem like Britney Spears — who is estimated to be worth more than $300 million — does everything on her own? From reportedly acting as her own publicist/manager/stylist to helping direct the still-unreleased video for her current hit, "Gimme More," to driving her two young children around Los Angeles (without a valid license) and picking the outfit for her ill-received VMA performance, Spears has been painted as an artist-as-island.

Reportedly feuding with her mom and recently dropped by both her attorney and manager, Britney not only doesn't follow the advice of the dwindling members of her professional team, according to reports, she appears determined to listen to no one but herself. And given some of her recent choices, the decision seems to be seriously affecting both her personal and professional lives — and it could have its roots in some troubling causes.

There are two likely reasons for this type of seemingly reckless go-it-alone behavior, according to Dr. Drew Pinsky — host of the syndicated radio show "Loveline" and a board-certified addictionologist — and both of them are potentially disastrous.

"Everyone is looking at this woman and trying to make rational the disease we call addiction, and it's not rational," said Pinsky, who is not treating Spears, but explained that the singer must be suffering from some form of addiction because a person cannot be admitted to a treatment center in California — as Spears was earlier this year — without meeting certain criteria for addiction. "Work, people we love, eating — everything is usurped by this desire to do drugs and alcohol, and all that thinking serves a broken motivation, so the things people do can look nutty because they're not making sense."

Someone suffering from what Pinsky speculates is a combination of different drug addictions in Spears' case is likely to act irrationally and suffer from paranoid delusions, usually directed at friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Getting someone in that condition to listen to the advice of those around them is a major challenge.

Britney Spears Goes Green in New Music Video

Now that Britney Spears nude is almost a common sight - right, Matt Encinias? - the troubled singer has decided to change up her appearance a bit.

Take a close enough look below and you can see the ex-wife of Kevin Federline with green eyes. So at least she’s doing something for the environment!

The normally brown-eyed pop star was caught leaving the set of a video shoot in Santa Monica wearing a lace see-through top and black hotpants… in addition to emerald green contacts, according to to celebrity gossip site and photo agency X17-Online.

Britney Spears looks as normal as ever after her latest attempt to film a music video.

As she exited the set, Britney was spotted with a large diamond on her ring finger and had her so-called cousin Alli Sims in the car as she headed to a drive-in burger restaurant.

Sims has recently tried to launch her own music career, one that sees more promising already than that of Brit.

These days, of course, the future of Brooke Hogan in pop music looks brighter than Spears’.

The HeldenFiles - Lohan Behold -- Again

Lohan Behold -- Again. Lindsay Lohan headed back to rehab Tuesday, after what appeared to be another lost weekend. The New York Post says Lohan kept partying in spite of her recent DUI arrest, and could be seen passed out in her SUV on Memorial Day.

``A series of shocking photos show a rubber-limbed Lohan stumbling out of the trendy club Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel, then sprawled in the front passenger seat of her black GMC, her head lolling back, her mouth agape and her heavy-lidded eyes firmly shut,'' says the Post. ``Lohan was so out of it, a witness said, that she wasn't even aware of the flashes from paparazzi snapping the photos.''

Speaking of Rehab. . . Here are a few thoughts from Britney Spears, in a note posted on her Web site, original spelling intact:

``Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn't know who to go to. I realized how much energy and

love I had put into my past

relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.''

More Hot Britney Spears. ``This letter is to not place blame on anyone, although I do see the world with a completely different set of eyes now. Being in that vulnerable state and taken to dinners and parties with friends and finding out later you paid for everything was a huge learning lesson for me. I think the whole problem was letting too many people into my life. You never know another persons intentions or what another person wants. I feel I was too open and looking for answers when I had it all to begin with.''

A Memorial Day Weekend Best Forgotten. ``First Mischa Barton reportedly OD's,'' says X17online.com, ``then Lindsay Lohan gets busted with drugs after smashing her car up, and now we're hearing that Nicole Richie hit a car!''

•

Richie's Mishap. ``Luckily for Nicole, her accident seems to be the least severe (at least superficially) of the three,'' the site said. ``We're hearing that, after filling up at a gas station at the corner of La Cienega and Holloway on her way home from Paris (Hilton's) Memorial Day/going-to-jail party, the slender starlet accidentally backed into a woman's Honda convertible. Both cars suffered minor damage, but that appeared to be the extent of the accident -- the reports we're getting say that the incident ended with Nicole and the mystery woman hugging it out!''

•

So What's That Mischa Barton Story? A relatively non-scandalous ``adverse reaction to medication,'' says TMZ.com.

``Sources tell TMZ that the former OC star was at a friend's Memorial Day BBQ enjoying a few holiday cocktails when she began to feel extremely ill,'' says the site. ``Mischa, who has been quite sick with bronchitis since traveling to Cannes, London and Paris the past several weeks, apparently didn't get the memo -- you can't drink alcohol while taking antibiotics!''

Fashion Flap. The New York Daily News says Liza Minnelli wants the

Halston tunic worn by Ilse Werther in Real Simple magazine -- because Minnelli says it's hers.

Halston reportedly gave it to Werther's mother, artist-designer Maj Kalfus, after she worked with Halston, who died in 1990. But since Halston designed it for Minnelli, why not give it to the singer? Kalfus told the Daily News that ``because of Minnelli's weight fluctuations, the dress didn't fit her by the time it was finished.''

•

So How's the Tunic? Pretty nice, apparently, Werther told Real Simple that ``I feel sexy and glamorous whenever I have it on. I can make it fancy or funky. It's the perfect go-to piece for a cocktail party, or I can wear it with leggings and ballet flats to dress it down.''

Werther, by the way, owns a boutique chain that's a favorite of Jessicas Alba, Biel and Simpson, as well as Jennifer Love Hewitt and... wait for it... Lindsay Lohan.

Charlotte Church will not pose britney spears naked while she is pregnant

The 21-year-old Welsh star, who is four months pregnant with rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson's baby, does not want to show off her baby bump like stars Demi Moore and Britney Spears.

Charlotte's mother Maria said: "I know Demi and Britney did it, but it is not for our Charl." The singer-and-TV star admits she is exhausted working while pregnant and is planning a holiday to Thailand with Gavin's sister Sarah.

Charlotte told Britain's Closer magazine: "I'm absolutely knackered at the moment. I filmed a Walkers crisps advert last week and I'm recording two shows – so much for putting my feet up, eh?" Maria added: "Charlotte is feeling tired at the moment but is still enjoying her pregnancy."
