Poor Mr. Knut.

One of his keepers has revealed to a German tabloid that the bear has become a “publicity addicted psycho.” That seems like rather judgmental language, don’t you think? I mean, it’s not his fault. What is so sad is that his size now makes it dangerous for him to interact with humans, so it seems he has been placed in isolation and is not permitted contact with the handler who raised him. I think the fact that the zookeeper would call Knut a “psycho” at all speaks volumes about this situation. He was raised as a human and now, apparently, he suffers from human mental illnesses. Here we have evidence of our youth and beauty obsession destroying an animal’s mental health. If only he hadn’t been so cute! He was cursed by his irresistible good looks which, sadly, have faded with the onset of adolescence. Can you believe that it has even become dangerous for a bear to be famous? I just hope the Berlin Zoo uses some of those millions that they made off of him to send him to a place where he might have hope of forming bonds with his own kind.

He wants love and a normal life, just like Britney.

Totally inexplicable, but Britney’s started speaking in a quasi-British accent. Check it out here.

Maybe part of why the Heath Ledger death was so surprising was that he wasn’t in the media very often, at least not for drug issues or mental breakdowns. Contrast that with reports today that Britney is back in the hospital. She’s clearly not well and the paparazzi is swarming. Are “we” - media, fans, culture - killing Britney? It feels like we’re watching a person deteriorate on the evening news. That can’t be good for anyone.

So, an awesome friend sent me a copy of the new Britney CD “Blackout”

He told me he didn’t think it is her singing on the CD, and after only getting through half the album, I concur.

If this is actually Britney Spears singing, I would be ASTOUNDED. It doesn’t really sound anything like her (not that we know what her actual voice sounds like anymore)…

By the way, her album fell to #41 on the charts this week. It’s posing to be the first Britney Spears album not to go platinum.

Britney - QUIT WHILE YOU’RE STILL SEMI-AHEAD.

I love how it has now become news when Britney actually dresses like a normal person. Here she is yesterday in a totally acceptable outfit:

Unfortunately, this outfit isn’t as normal as it looks in this picture. This picture and many more available here at PopSugar.com reveal that this turtleneck is basically see-thru and you can see Britney’s bra showing through. Poor Britney, she can’t get a break.

Here is the YouTube grainy version of “Gimme More” (Britney’s new single).

TERRIBLE! This is hardly dancing!!! And shouldn’t Britney’s videos be trying to improve her image, rather than making her out to be a pole dancer?

UPDATE: Much clearer version on the MTV website here.

Here’s a picture of Britney Spears arriving for her co-parenting class with KFed at the Beverly Hills Hotel (lucky!!)

I suppose I should be happy that she knows what month it is, but what’s with all the little jack o’lanterns on her dashboard? Does that seem a little dangerous? Or at least lame?
