while it may not give her a license to act in ways some of us are assuming she acts, it may give insight as to why. she was extremely poor and insecure as a child, her father died before she was 2 and her step-father slapped her and did permanent damage to one of her ears. she pulled herself up and rose to the top of her craft, imo, as a singer and actor. maybe she is a bitch or an asshole, maybe not, I don't know her and not sure anyone here does, but bitch or not, she has talent like none have or ever will - I'm sure none of us can say how we'd act if we grew up in that situation and became famous at 19. also, she's the biggest selling artist next to the likes of Elvis...she's doing something right and has lasted all this time.

suffice it to say, so what if she's a bitch. it doesn't make her any less an artist or person - she's done so much for various charities, stands up for what she believes in and opened doors for female artists..bitch? maybe, aren't we all...
