Pop Psychology: Deconstructing Britney
Celebritology —
... -- Britney Spears is not a happy camper. Or so she'd have us believe in a new special, " Britney: For the Record ," set to air on MTV on Nov. 30, two days ahead of the release of her new album. Amidst the look at Brit's life as a pop phenomenon, come these surprisingly candid statements: "There's no excitement, there’s no passion. I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail, y'know, there's the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like Groundhog Day every day." "I think it's too in control. If I ...

... really like that, and she seems to be making a concerted effort to back away from it. She is a Dolly for our times, of course, not self-made so much as being used while she herself was using, and so lacking Dolly's insane level of competence. But that in itself is kind of lovable, too. Here's how Britney ends the documentary.
"I try to avoid situations from the past that may threaten me."
(Q: How do you do that?)
"I go through life like a karate kid."

Britney: For the Record doesn't give us much about Britney Spears, at least not from her
reality blurred —
... primarily through flashes of her life, like the way she's literally hunted by paparazzi, clearly sick bastards who provide photographs to the bastards who buy celebrity gossip magazines and drool over the life of someone who's clearly extremely troubled. But it doesn't blame them, or her family, or her friends, or Britney herself, and more significantly, never really explains how or why she got to the point where she needed a documentary to help her orchestrate a comeback.

... Bright n' early this morning Britney Spears continued her "comeback kid" routine with an appearance on Good Morning America. Not only is today her 27th birthday, but it's also the release of her 6th album, titled Circus. As part of the promotional package, on Sunday MTV aired a no-holds-barred infomercial documentary about the singer, where even Madonna made a cameo to talk up the pop starlet's new lease on life.

... and a general basking in the glow of her rekindled career. And let us not leave out Sunday's overhyped MTV special " Britney: For the Record ," in which the embattled popstress gave us a peek into her as-yet unsettled psyche: She feels controlled, she's not always happy, she shouldn't have gotten married so young, etc. The overwhelming takeaway was that Brit has a lot of regrets, among them a six-foot-and-change former back-up dancer turned failed rapper with whom she procreated. Twice. All that is well and good. Catharsis makes for healing and so forth. However, that six-foot ...

... mental illness. I value privacy. My goal with Celebrity Psychings is to help educate readers about the mental health issues they hear about in the media -- whether it’s celebrities, entertainment, or news -- and say to folks, "Hey, look at that. You’re not alone. You're not doomed. And you're not crazy." If scrutinizing a drunken David Hasselhoff can actually do some good, sign me up. A closer look at celebs and mental health is probably long overdue. Last week's Britney Spears documentary on MTV was especially disheartening and, for followers of celeb news, disquieting. We ...
What I Did On My New Years Staycation
Gingers is the Watchword —
Experienced man trouble that almost drove me insane, but now just mostly makes me laugh. Sang "Auld Lang Syne" until I lost my voice. Met a ginger fella from "Connecticut" with a faux sounding Brooklyn accent. Re-watched season 1 of 30 Rock. Re-watched season 2 twice. Lived like it was Shark Week. Watched Britney: For the Record and kinda wished I was BFF with Britney Spears. Laughed at my neighbors for keeping their horrific xmas decorations up way longer than acceptable. Got sick and ...
