I know it's indefensibly shallow to join in gossiping about Hollywood and it's recent bimbo explosions (at least for anyone not legitimately in the business) ...but I gotta say this... (so I can say "I told you so" when this particular shit hits the fan, any day now)... the unavoidable "entertainment" news this week, especially today's, has me thinking that Britney Spears' behavior may not be primarily due to drugs and/or alcohol; I may be wrong, but it's sounding more like she's schizoid, WAY out of it, much more so and differently than just being drunk and/or drugged.
But while I myself have been pretty doggone buzzed in the past, I don't know anything first-hand about the world of serious drugs or drunkeness, so maybe it's just a matter of style; whereas Lindsay Lohan parties until she passes out in a car with her mouth hanging open, Britney has now been banned for smearing food all over her face in an uber-classy restaurant, and at home she insists on presenting herself au naturale. Toujours! Answering the door, dealing with her staff and servants, hanging out with the kids, Britney's always naked.
Anyhoo...as I understand it, her attorney and entire management team (...she had a management team?...) have now thrown up their hands and quit, so she's more on her own than ever, except for those sleazy Cling-ons she had with her at that infamous OK! Magazine photo-shoot, the ones who helped her walk off with $14,000 of borrowed apparel. The same photo shoot where she famously
1. wiped her fried-chicken-greasy hands on a pink silk Alisha Levine dress, ruining it,
2. "took frequent trips to the bathroom, always leaving the door open"
3. just sat there as her Yorkshire terrier puppy crapped on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown
In other words, just one, big, sad train wreck that was meant ironically to herald her "comeback".
It looks like her kids will very soon be taken away from her altogether for their own safety, finally, which is reasonable but will obviously be very rough for all involved.
Anyway, here's today's latest, from the Sydney Herald:
Smears get Spears Banned
September 18, 2007 - 9:56AM Britney Spears has been banned from an exclusive Los Angeles hotel after shocking guests by "smearing food all over her face".
Troubled mother-of-two Britney can never check into the Chateau Marmont again after diners in the hotel restaurant were appalled by her animalistic table manners.
A "source" told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The diners were disgusted. You wouldn't expect that from a teenager in a fast food joint. Royalty have dined in this restaurant. Her behaviour was totally unacceptable."
However, it wasn't just Britney's eating habits that led to the ban being enforced by the hotel - which is a favourite haunt of Lindsay Lohan, Sienna Miller and Britney's ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake.
According to an insider, the Gimme More singer has been "acting weird" for months, and bosses decided to impose the severe punishment before things got out of control.
The source added: "Staff at the Chateau have been told she is not welcome.
"She constantly looked out of it when she came in, and guests began to make noises. The hotel acted before she made a huge scene."
The ban is the latest in a string of setbacks to Britney's highly-anticipated career comeback, which began with her widely panned performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
Now a former bodyguard has offered to testify against her in court.
The pop star and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are battling over custody of their sons.
Tony Barretto, 28, said in a court filing that he worked for Spears from the time she left a rehabilitation clinic in March until May 17, 2007, and that he watched her behaviour in and out of the house (see story right).
Federline's attorney, Mark V Kaplan, said it was not unusual for lawyers to decline questioning a surprise witness.
Kaplan did not discuss what went on inside the hearing, but told reporters his client was not seeking more money from Spears. Kaplan said a new custody hearing would likely come in mid-November. An exact date was not yet available....
