Oh Bette Midler...

[DrummerDeanna]

Bette Midler - she may have been wild - I'm sure she partied but she wasn't in the spotlight 24 hours a day - again, these people were able to make their mistakes of youth in a more private manner - and the girl of today DO seem to be a bit more outrageous than the girls of yesterday - there is a scary cultural shift going on that in turn is really making women lose ground in the whole "feminist movement"

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
