I think Brittney's behaviour is attrocious. She a mother for God's sake and has no business being out all night EVERY night - I don't give a rats ass if she has been 'home bound" for two years..that's what happens when you have kids - you have to parent them.
So I think these women who have lived and done the partying are giving good advice - they know what they're talking about - so rather than being hypocrites I think they are just speaking from knowledge - trying to give good and valuable advice to these stupid girls who are making stupid choices in the public eye  |
as much as I'd like to agree with you, and I think you have a valid point, the stars that are lecturing Britney are KNOWN for outrageous behavior (flashing the audience? and thats just for starters
)
it just seems to me that these stars, well-intentioned tho they might be, would have more credibility if they hadnt engaged in outrageous behavior themselves. Or, if they prefaced their remarks with something along the lines of "hey, Ive been wild in my past too, so I know what Im talking about..." Then they would be coming across as giving advice from the "been there/done that" perspective. Thats different.
That said, I do agree that a little underwear goes a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way. Bette's right about that!
