The Life and Times of Britney Spears...It's a Boy!

[LynzeyAHL]

I heard this morning that Mr Spears got a job as a dance instructor and word has it brit didn't know and is 'proud' of him for doing it on his own. Guess back up dancer can show a few youngins how to bust a move <snort> :rolleyes:

8-24 Britney Spears visiting Kevin at Malibu studio
Is there trouble brewing with Britney Spears and Kevin Federline this close to the arrival of their unborn baby?? Britney Spears is pictured visiting her husband who is in the finishing touches of his new hip hop album at a very upmarket Malibu Hills studio. Britney firstly had visited her sister just down the road on her film set and on leaving was seen on her mobile phone looking agitated before heading for the studios. On arrival she was met by a studio employee that took her to a outside waiting area where husband Kevin joined her for a 1 1/2 hour deep and meaningful conversation. Aside from a quick kiss when she arrived they seemed to be unaffectionate towards each other throughout the length of her visit. One onlooker said that he believed it was because Kevin has been so hard at work on his album that he has been neglecting his heavily pregnant wife .. At times Kevin seemed unsure what to do and either looked away or stared at his shoes whilst he played with his mobile phone. Half way through the conversation Britney got up quickly and strode off to the front room of the house leaving Kevin on his own staring at her walking away. She returned later with a glass of water and waited 5 minutes for her husband to return to recommence their conversation. After a period it seemed that they were finished and Britney got up followed by her husband and seemingly without any physical farewells he headed into the studio and she left down the stairs to be met by her assistant. Instead of heading to her rented home though she headed to a luxury hotel where upon arrival checked in and went straight to a suite and many hours later there had still been no sighting of her or more importantly her husband.

I hope she dumps his sorry @ss.

[sheartm7]

I don't know how K-Fed can wear a bandana AND a hat in the summer. You'd think his head would be really hot.

[cocoa_femme]

She's darker than Cliff. That really disturbs me. :eek:
She's darker than me, too! Way too much sun.

[cocoa_femme]

Okay, just a couple of things...
1. he's making a hip-hop album :rolleyes:
2. she on a film set :rolleyes:

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

You guys are dorks.... Jamie Lynn is wearing nylons. You can see the sheen in the pics!! I thought the same thing at first.

[GeekGirl]

How can she be wearing nylons AND flip flops?? :confused:

Maybe she is taking fashion advice from KFed...

[Sophia]

Trouble in paradise? Say it isn't so. ;)

[Sophia]

She's not wearing nylons.

[Tanya]

Nope, she's definitely not wearing nylons. I guess she's just all greased up. When are young girls going to quit this ridiculous overtanning?

Jeez, I sound like my mom.

[Sophia]

It's the Attack of the Tanorexics. I wish it would go away. It's really not attractive.

[miaclear]

As much as a million people will gladly say "I told you so" to Britney, me included, it's pretty sad. It's gotta be really hard to be married to an unattentive guy while you're pregnant.

[Heidi9771]

oh, does Kfed want some freedom from the purse strings? Why is he all of a sudden getting a job? Shar mentioned he NEVER had one when they were dating...

they're both quite tan though. You can see it in the face as well as the legs.

[LynzeyAHL]

All that dirt reporter said was that he went to that Darrin what's his face that did the bye bye bye/Genie in a bottle vidoes and got a job as an instructor at his school w/o Brit knowing.

It was said that she was so proud of him for doing it on his own. Perhaps he knows he's getting dumped and she was smart enough to get a pre-nump saying sorry sucka I ain't your cash cow even though I'm big as one right now carrying yo baby?!? :rolleyes: who knows there's gotta be a report of it out there some where.

[sheartm7]

I think Kevin's gonna leave Britney once he makes money on his own. If he album sells well, he'll make big bucks and then when he's not dependent on Brit anymore for money, he'll leave.

[mel7dog]

Nonoo, like I said a few pages back it is the shadow in the restaurant!! Look at the pics of here outside, not *as* tan, no nylons!
http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/1844/271285dn.jpg

[KGif]

Yeah - the pic in that restaurant has a shadow casting on her legs. The one of her walking outside is totally normal - tan but normal. Not overly tan at all ... she's not the orange-y tan like Christina A used to be or anything. And her skin looks like it's somewhat narutally dark anyway. She's not a pale skinned girl to begin with.

[mel7dog]

Does anyone know where I can find this FABULOUS maternity dress?!

Wowy, it is truely attractive and figure flattering :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Guess I will have to grow my hair out (or get extensions) so I can pull off the "just rolled out of bed" ponytail.

:D

[Dunja]

She does look something like an overgrown bee in that dress... :rolleyes:

8/26/05: Britney Gets Liquored Up At Houston's Steakhouse

*SHE HASN'T EVEN GIVEN BIRTH YET, AND ALREADY BRITNEY SPEARS IS A CANDIDATE FOR "MOTHER OF THE YEAR"
-- BRITNEY IS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP HER FROM GETTING LIQUORED UP LAST WEDNESDAY AT HOUSTON'S STEAKHOUSE IN SANTA MONICA -- SHE WAS THERE WITH HER PARENTS & HER KID SISTER (FEDERLINE MUST'VE BEEN AT HIS NEW JOB) -- WHILE SHE LOOKED AT THE MENU, BRITNEY ORDERED A GLASS OF WHITE WINE & DRANK IT LIKE WATER.
-- WHEN THE WAITER ASKED IF SHE'D LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, BRITNEY SAID "I'LL HAVE A STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI" -- HE APOLOGIZED AND SAID THEY DIDN'T SERVE BLENDED DRINKS -- HE GLANCED AT HER PREGNANT BELLY AND SAID "PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE A VIRGIN MARGARITA" -- BRITNEY SAID "NO, I WANT THE REAL THING. AND MAKE SURE YOU USE PETRON" (pah-TROAN)*
-- AFTER SHE DRANK THE MARGARITA, SHE ORDERED, AND FINISHED, ANOTHER ONE -- BUT AT LEAST SHE HAD A NUTRITIOUS MEAL: A KEY LIME PIE, FOLLOWED BY AN APPLE WALNUT COBBLER WITH ICE CREAM ON TOP.
-- BRITNEY HAS HEARD THAT IT'S OKAY FOR A WOMAN TO DRINK DURING HER FINAL TRI-MESTER -- BUT DOCTORS DISAGREE -- ONE OF THEM SAYS "WHEN A PREGNANT WOMAN DRINKS, THE ALCOHOL QUICKLY PASSES THROUGH THE PLACENTA TO THE BABY. IN THE UNBORN CHILD, THE BOOZE IS BROKEN DOWN SLOWLY. THIS CAN CAUSE THE BABY TO BE BORN WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME, ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF MENTAL RETARDATION, & THE ONLY ONE THAT'S ENTIRELY PREVENTABLE"...

BRITNEY TO LAUNCH NEW PARFUME - FOR DOGS!

Pregnancy wreakes havoc with ones hormone levels, causing some to have seriously strange ideas. This may explain why Britney Spears wants to launch a new line of parfumes for dogs - according to the scottish newspaper 'Daily Record'. Britney, who wants to market a new scent names 'Fantasy', wants to treat both owners and their pets. Says a friend of Spears': 'Nobody likes smelly dogs - least of all Britney, which is why she's working on the parfume.'
Mucho bizzaro!

[julietchicago]

Yeah right, I don't believe that story about her drinking. Why would she go out and order a drink in public like that? LOL. I admit, she hasn't had the healthiest lifestyle while pregnant, but drinking? I highly doubt it....LOL.

[miaclear]

Especially with her parents and sister right there. She might be that dumb...but her mom wouldn't allow it without causing a scene.

I love it, such responsible parents. Neither of them is even wearing a seatbelt, and they're in a convertible. :rolleyes: :eek:

Oh look...matching greasy ponytails! At least they're making a showing of some kind of love there, holding hands. :rolleyes:

[MsPeachy]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but... I think Brit looks kinds cute there and her and Kevo look like a regular couple. I like that they're holding hands. I even find Kev less repulsive than usual. (I guess I like the greasy poinytail better than the cornrows :eek: )

[miaclear]

Applause all around from me. They look so normal, and she's got on flip flops it appears and not cowboy boots, and her hair may only be on day 2 of not being washed, and Kevin appears to be somewhat interested in her. Yea!!!! That profile picture of her is one of the more flattering ones I've seen.

[sheartm7]

I think she looks cute, too. It's nice to see her touching her tummy, almost in a protective way. :) I really wish we knew what she was having already!

[silentbunny]

That's a pretty high belly, so I'm guessing boy.

And I agree...it's nice to see them looking affectionate and happy. :)

[WestieMomma]

I was looking at the People magazine with the pics from Brit's baby shower...is that Felecia lady still her assistant because I didn't see her in the group picture?

[sarahh]

I haven't heard otherwise?! That is suprising that she wasn't there. Maybe she just didn't make it into any of the photos?

[sportyj]

I have to agree she looks great. She needs to stick with simple looks like that, they make her look like a beautiful PG woman.

Britney Spears ruins summer camp - 8.26.05

For the second year in a row, the singer won't be making an appearance at the Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts. Last year, she had a knee injury; this year, "a Spears pal" maintains, "she is about to give birth and can't fly across the country!" But Us also has "one source" asserting that the camp is 'just a tax break for Britney. ... She doesn't care about disappointing the kids.' "

8-29-05: Britney Bawls Out Tiny Teen

BRITNEY Spears stormed the set of little sister Jamie Lynn Spears' Nickelodeon show, "Zoey 101," last week and screamed at a 13-year-old co-star who had been feuding with Jamie Lynn � leaving the traumatized tweenster in tears.

According to our on-set snitch: "Britney had the talent coordinator bring [co-star] Alexa Nikolas over to Jamie Lynn's trailer � where she proceeded to scream that Alexa was an 'evil little girl,' and that she had better watch herself or she 'will never work in this town again!' "

The source adds, "Alexa was in tears. She was sobbing and totally upset � I mean, she has been buying Britney CDs since she was 6, and then Britney tears her to pieces? It was totally uncalled for. While Jamie Lynn is the star, Alexa still works there and it is technically her set. And the fight was a petty, 13-year-old thing between Alexa and Jamie Lynn, who is becoming a real pest. Britney should have stayed out of it."

Another source says Jamie Lynn is "a real diva, and is even worse now because she is in the midst of contract negotiations and asking for a lot of money."

A spokeswoman for both Spears sisters says: "Jamie Lynn and another girl on set were having problems, as 13-year-olds do. Britney did have words with the girl, but felt she was sticking up for her sister. She did not yell by any means, she just gave the girl a sisterly talking to and wondered why they just couldn't all get along."

The rep declined to comment on Jamie Lynn's contract negotiations.

Meanwhile, Spears who is just weeks away from giving birth, has spent more than $100,000 on the nursery for her baby boy with Kevin Federline � whom she has already named Preston Federline.

An insider says Spears hired Petite Tresor in Beverly Hills to decorate the room, which is covered in "expensive organic fabric on the walls and ceiling." The room will also have a hand-painted mural of tranquil nature scenes, expensive, hand-crafted Alder wood furniture, including shelves, a changing table and drawers.

A month ago, Spears dropped thousands more at Petite Tresor when she bought a load of baby boy clothes. Spears' spokeswoman shoots back: "Britney hired two independent decorators for the nursery � and it was not Petite Tresor. That store should stop talking about Britney."

Okay I love kids as much as anyone - but I think we have to give Mrs. Federline a break on this one. She's 8 months pregnant ferchrissakes ... most airlines won't even LET you fly at that point! And there is NO sitting in a car/bus/train for a cross country trip when you're that big. I just had a baby and my 45 minute car ride home from work was hardly bearable at the end of my pregnancy.


Of course that is not to say that she would have gone if she wern't pregnant..... ;)

Wow, that's so mature of Britney! She's going to be a great mother. :eek:

Seriously, if I was this kid Alexa's mom, I would bitch-slap Britney. How is this her business and what right does she have to talk to a child like that?!


ETA: Oh, and I highly doubt Britney will ever seriously "work in this town again", so she needs to get over herself.

[Dan's*Girl]

Ok, i'm a lurker in here but I HAD to post after my wild night of dreams.
DH says I was talking in my sleep and saying "It's a boy, it's a boy... britney had a boy today" Then I remember that I was at the hospital and in their room and they had a boy named Preston Alexander Federline and he was a really big baby(like 9 lbs).
I had the dream over and over and when I woke up I thought "I should look at the news to see if she had the baby last night".

I'm so wierd :rolleyes:

Back to lurking!

[Rosebud]

um Erin...do you know something *we* don't know?!?!

No, just that people think she's a laughingstock and that her image has been permanently tarnished. I mean, you can never say never in this town... but certainly I don't think her career will continue to be as successful as it has been in the past.

She's like a circus sideshow at this point. At least, that's my take on it.

[Katy]

Ramona, that was one crazy dream! Interestingly enough, I had a baby dream too, but it was with a puppy - I dreamed that my little guy somehow managed to be a daddy to an adorable, tiny, cream with an apricot patch, poodle mix (keep in mind, he's fixed and I was *very* confused, although she was just SO darn cute!) I kept saying to myself, that she must be his, look at her curly head. So strange. But back to topic...have we heard what the full name will be? If not, I'd be so interested to know if you're right with the name.

Erin, I was teasing, I know how fickle Hollywood and all can be. Heck, even those that can make a brief comeback, are usually laughed about behind their backs, or just get told "I knew it" when they stumble and fall again. Gotta love our gossip stuff though :D

[kemaji]

Hollywood is definitely fickle. If she does make a *comeback*, it will be great fodder for this thread, so I kind of hope she tries. :D

[Dotsie]

I have heard taht they will name the baby Preston. I would love to see her try and make a comeback. I never really "got" why she was so famous and popular to begin with. SHe had a very nice body, could dance better than average but her voice was horrible. All electronic help. She reminds me of a modern version of Madonna. While I was very into Madonna for a very long time I finally realized that she really had no talent. What she had was a great body and an amazing PR team to keep her in the media. Maybe Brit will take a clue from M and get some refinement. Madonna does look amazing right now.

[Dotsie]

I guess so she can get her body back into shape after the baby.

[jimmysgirl424]

If that's true, then I feel sorry for the casino that signs her. Imagine having her and K-Fed to deal with every day . Yuck. Not to mention trying to sell tickets that will probably start at $125 and go up from there. They will probably ending up 'comping' a huge majority of them. Just like the Mirage does now with Celine Dion. (I think that's where her show is)

Spears Sets Sights on Sin City?

08/31/2005 7:24 PM, E! Online
Charlie Amter

Britney Spears apparently doesn't have a grudge with Sin City.

Despite having a 2004 trip to Las Vegas resulting in a quickie marriage--and near instantaneous annulment--the pop star is in negotiations to become the next Celine Dion or Elton John, holding down a long-term residency at a casino resort.

Jack Wishna, the dealmaker at the center of the potential engagement, told E! Online Wednesday the pregnant pop star is interested in her very own Vegas show. "I met with Britney, her manager and her lawyers, and we are working on a deal to bring her to the Strip for 'X'-number of weeks in 2007-2008," he says. The venture consultant, who has successfully negotiated big-deal contracts for the likes of Wayne Newton, says a contract is in the works.

While Wishna would not reveal which casino is interested in signing up the "Toxic" singer, he says he is working with a "major Strip property."

"This particular property is looking for a big name that will take them to the next level in terms of entertainment, and Britney would certainly do that for them," he says.

There has been no immediate comment from the Spears camp, but the move would certainly make sense for the pop star, who lives a short flight away in Southern California.

Just as Dion decided to forgo the rigors of the road and focus instead on raising her children while she rakes in big bucks as the headliner at Caesar's Palace, the 23-year-old Spears could still perform without having to travel far from her soon-to-arrive child with hubby Kevin Federline.

Meanwhile, Spears has been logging long hours in a private studio near her new $7 million dollar home in Malibu, laying down tracks for her forthcoming new release, which is not yet titled and without a release date.

Earlier this year, Spears played a rough mix of a new song called "Mona Lisa" on a Los Angeles radio station and said the complete CD might be ready for release by this summer, which seems highly unlikely at this point. Two other tracks that may make the disc include "Ouch" and "Sippin' On"--both of which were recently added to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' (ASCAP) database.

And if Britney's Vegas deal doesn't pan out, Wishna has a back-up plan. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he's also been trying to convince Madonna to book an extended stint on the Strip.

Totally agree with everyone, those pics are so not the real thing. I can't even belive they are trying to pass those off as the real thing. anyone who has seen even one other "real" pic of her all nasty will laugh at those.

I vow to never buy Elle magazine, LMAO!!!

[sdianems]

She also looks much younger in these photos.....alot like her "younger" self (sans pock marks etc.).

[sportyj]

WOW that does not look like her AT ALL! I hate to say it but I think she looks terrible.

[JRPAGV]

They definitely did something to her face. It looks much thinner.

[kemaji]

You can see it in her arms, etc. too.

[Natasha]

Did they think no one would notice!? She looks like she's trying to look like Marilyn Monroe.

[ez2luv]

That is sick and wrong!!!

Nothing like her at all!!!!!

:mad:

[sheartm7]

Yah, her arm looks a bit crooked in this pic.

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I think the thing that throws me off the most is the aircut and make up. That cut looks terrible on her.... Throw back to the moms in the seventies!! Where's the pink curlers Brit???
Then they made her face look almost all the same color. For some reason it makes her eyes look crooked. (Right now would be a good time to pull out the laser pointer.)

I do like the first pic though. It makes her look more vulnerable, a mom maybe.

[ktsb]

wouldn't they have taken these pictures months ago?

Might explain the thinness and and some differences but not all of the weird stuff.

Doesn't look like the same person to me! And it's not just because one is a
"candid" shot outside.

[kristine80]

I agree, her face looks really thin! Is it me or do you think they shrunk her bb's as well? Especially in that multi-color dress where her arms look really thin, they look smaller to me... I kinda like her hair though, at least better than those nasty ponytails! :p

[GeekGirl]

I think you're right, they look waaay smaller. Or maybe it's just that she's wearing a bra and they're not hanging out everywhere.

[sarahh]

Remember these pics I posted in mid-July?

I am sure these candids were taken around the same time as the Elle photoshoot.

Comparing the studio photos to the candids, I definitely think that there was some serious photoshop/airbrush going on!

Spears glad Simpson beat her to Daisy Duke

Pop singer BRITNEY SPEARS has laughed off rumours she is jealous JESSICA SIMPSON beat her to the role of DAISY DUKE in THE DUKES OF HAZZARD, insisting she was fated to spent 2005 pregnant. While Simpson has flying all over the world promoting the movie remake of the TV classic, Spears has been relaxing and enjoying her pregnancy ahead of the birth of her first child next month (SEP05). Spears says, "Yeah (I was offered the role). ASHTON KUTCHER was supposed to be in it too. "But things change and happen for a reason. That wasn't my time. I'm supposed to be pregnant now. "And I'm proud of Jessica - she's doing really well." ContactMusic.com

She's looking like a 14 year old in these pictures! Does anyone else find that a bit creepy??

[paiger]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. I find those pictures really creepy like 'Child Mom' or something. Weird.

[Kristen78]

Wow, if those pics were taken at the same time they definitely made her face and chest area alot slimmer!

[KristyK]

It's the lips too...the lips are different, like they put someone else's lips on her face. The top lip is a bit downturned on the corners...her lips aren't like that, if you look at the pic on sheartm7's avatar, they look like 2 different mouths. Not to mention they took 20 lbs off her arms, neck and face with the airbrushing. Who do they think they are fooling, what a farce.

Britney's Worldly Views on Katrina, Baby Names

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Soon-to-be mother Britney Spears, who was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, has been moved by the recent devastation in the South.

"My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and any other states that might be affected by Hurricane Katrina," reads a letter on her website to her fans.

"All of my family members there are safe," adds the Pelican State native, "and thank you to all my fans for your concern."

Although the pop princess took time out to tap out the message, she's still occupied with the upcoming birth of her baby, which is expected to happen in October.
Now that Apple and Moxie Crimefighter are taken, Spears has gone global -- the capital of England in fact -- for a possible baby name.

"Ever since I was a little girl I thought for a boy I love Sean Preston -- or London Preston," she says, according to published reports. "Isn't London pretty? And for a girl I love Addison Shye. I think that's pretty."

Previous reports say that she was considering the name Charlie -- for a boy or girl -- since she enjoyed the recent adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." She was seen at the film's premiere earlier this year in a light blue wife beater reading, "I have the Golden Ticket" across the front, with an arrow pointing to her pregnant belly.

According to 2004 records, London was the 864th most popular male baby name, Addison ranked 160th in popularity and Sean 65th. Charlie was the 349th most popular boy baby name that year, while the name didn't break the Top 1000 for girls.

Although Spears, 23, claims to love being pregnant (especially the pregnancy sex) she's not too keen on the pain associated with birth and expects to have a Caesarean.

"I have a feeling I'm going to have an operation. I don't know why," she says. "My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating thing she's ever gone through in her life. So if a Caesarean doesn't happen, I'll be like, 'Epidural, please.'"

Spears was last seen on her reality show "Chaotic" with the guy who put her in this predicament, husband Kevin Federline, 27. The show will be released on DVD Tuesday, Sept. 27 and includes five episodes, music videos and 30 additional minutes of deleted scenes that weren't deemed worthy of airtime. Considering the nightmarish quality of what aired, that's a frightening thought.

[Rosebud]

Lord, she is such a little twit. I'm amazed that she could tear herself away from berating children and scarfing Cheetos to update her website! And her name choices are http://community.the-underdogs.org/smiley/puke.gif

[GeekGirl]

Is that her teenaged kid sister wearing a shirt that says "motherf*cker" on it??? Where is her mother to allow something like that?? :eek:

do you think the background color (PINK) and then pink rabbit is a hint as to what the baby will be?!? :p

Also ... Although I STRONGLY DISLIKE her hair... i'm kind of proud of her for not having in the extensions! :rolleyes:

[lml41981]

Those Elle photos look more like Jennifer Grey in Ferris Bueller's Day Off before they look like Britney.

[Katy]

Brit looks like a realdoll in those pics. Too fake/plastic-y looking.

I was thinking she looked like she belonged in The Breakfast Club or something, LOL!

[mel7dog]

"I have a feeling I'm going to have an operation. I don't know why," she says. "My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating thing she's ever gone through in her life. So if a Caesarean doesn't happen, I'll be like, 'Epidural, please.'"

Wow, for someone who is so "in tune" with her spiritual side and all Kabbalahlalala, you'd think she's at least think be taking the natural route.

And yes, of course childbirth is the most excruciating thing in a women's life! Especially for Brit's mom who probably spends he days spending the money of Brit and Jamie Lynn.

[ez2luv]

Bet you anything she's planned a c-section, and will say that she had problems during labor and make a sob story out of it and write a book or something. :rolleyes:

[Dotsie]

I guarantee you she knows the exact day she's going to have her baby...by C section.

[MsPeachy]

For some reason it makes her eyes look crooked. (Right now would be a good time to pull out the laser pointer.) I'm sorry but what exactly is this supposed to mean? Not everyone's eyes (or faces for that matter) are symmetrical.


And FWIW, I don't think she looks like either Jennifer Grey or that she belongs in an 80's movie like the Breakfast Club.

[sheartm7]

Here's the cover:

[Heidi9771]

that is SO photoshoped...her arms are slimmer and the proportion of how they "slimmed" down her body to her head is so obvious.

[chefker]

Anyone know if Britney is contributing financially to the Katrina aid/effort? Seeing as she is a Louisiana native and all. I heard some radio DJ this morning complaining how she 'hadn't made any effort to help her home state', not sure if this is true or not.

[Dotsie]

She looks like a glamour bobble head doll!!!

[bensgirl1222]

Whats the big deal about having a scheduled c-section?? I dont understand it. I have known 3 people close to me CHOOSE a c-section for very different personal reasons...baby & mother are fine.

I dont get why people are making such a big deal about it.

Honestly, when I have a child, I think I'd probably have the baby c-section. I'm very petite and if I can avoid complications, then I will.

[Chimichanga]

That magazine cover (and the rest of the pics) look like it's someone else completely! It's almost painful to look at.

I've known people who have scheduled C-sections too. But not because they don't want stretch marks or because it's the "thing" to do. My cousin had to schedule her c-section because of gestational diabetes. Another friend's baby was too big (9 pounds) and she's less than 5 feet and about 100 pounds.

[bensgirl1222]

Some people just prefer to have the c-section over going thru labor. Its the same thing as not wanting stretch marks. If she is full-term...I dont see a problem with it.

idk...I dont like Britney but I dont see a problem with her getting a c-section. Obviously the doctor know whats best. And if its OK for her to be able to have the baby c-section than I am sure everyone is healthy. They wouldnt do something like that and put the baby's health in jeopardy.

But thats JMO.

edited for my spelling

[mel7dog]

I know this will be a hot topic but *IMO*, I consider a scheduled C-section (besides health reasons of course) ridiculous. If someone chooses a C-section mostly because they are afraid of the labor pain or don't want stretch marks (Britney) I don't consider that "giving birth". I know this is one topic we'll never all never agree on, but it figures Brit would look for an easier "birth" alternative when she hasn't mentioned one medically necessary reason for it.

[KristyK]

I think the scheduled c-section talk is ridiculous. I thought that MD's weren't letting people do this anymore, whether for glamour reasons or whatever. The thing is if you're able to give birth the way Mother Nature intended, then why have a surgery you don't need. I thought that doctors weren't letting this happen because of insurance purposes, etc. To have a baby naturally is about $4-5000, surgical raises not only the risks (anesthesia etc) and costs anywhere from $12-20,000. Plus the costs that OB/GYN's are putting out for health insurances, you'd think they'd deter anyone from having a surgery for glamour reasons. :rolleyes: I guess with Miss Brit, it doesn't matter, she's got money coming out her ying-yang, but I can just see her deadbeat-dad hubby being the first to sue a doctor. He's the type.
/off box

I know I mentioned the lips being photoshopped, but look at the cover photo, along with the pic that sheartm7 has on her avatar. They eye's are also totally different. Hers are more almond shaped, with the larger part being towards the nose, but in the cover shot, they made the outside of her eyes be the larger area. She also looks like she has cheek implants, since they totally slimmed down her jawbone. What a horrible job of photoshopping, I agree with this:

That magazine cover (and the rest of the pics) look like it's someone else completely! It's almost painful to look at.

It's painful, and doesn't look a bit like her. She should sue! :p

[bensgirl1222]

Obviously everyone has their opinions, which is fine :) I didnt want this to turn into a debate. But when I have kids, I will probably have a c-section bc I am 5'1" tall and 110 piunds...there is no way Im pushing out a 10 pound kid!

[KristyK]

You're right Jess, I wasn't trying to debate. You, with your small frame obviously will most likely have to have a c-section. Brit, on the other hand, doesn't (or at least she hasn't come up with a good reason why she needs one). She's got a perfectly normal (not petite) frame, and only talks about a c-section because she obviously doesn't want to be in pain. The thing is....she's not thinking about the whopping scar that will be on her belly once they cut her open to have a baby, and if there's complications, they just cut without thinking about what the scar is going to look like, to save the baby. She's just a mess.

[Sevilla]

Not to be argumentative, but i know several women who were that height and weight (they were size 0 to size 2 and 5'0/5'2) and have had multiple vaginal births of 9 lb. babies just fine (one lady has 7 kids, the last were twins she birthed vaginally and the other had 4 kids, all big babies). Our bodies tend to grow babies that we're able to push out (barring complications like GD that can make the baby grow too big). The size you are on the outside doesn't mean a whole lot when you're determining if you can birth vaginally or not :).

Britney's Baby Name Game

Is London calling Spears? Plus, news on Aniston and Vaughn, Lohan and Leto, Madonna, Ben, Gwen and many more ...

Sept. 1, 2005


The offspring of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline will arrive in the world toting plenty of baggage, from a genetic weakness for Cheetos and super-sized Frappuccinos to the emotionally scarring parental scrapbook that is "Chaotic."

But the tot's hours in therapy could increase exponentially if the Britster follows through with her plan for a British-inspired moniker.

"Ever since I was a little girl I thought, for a boy I love Sean Preston -- or London Preston. Isn't London pretty?" Britney asks in the latest issue of Elle (via the London Mirror). "And for a girl I love Addison Shye. I think that's pretty."

Britney, 23, who is reportedly due in the next few weeks, maintains she's doesn't know the sex of the baby but has an inkling it's a boy. And she's apparently leaning toward London because that's where she and K. Fed first hooked up, an historic moment shakily captured in "Chaotic."

If Spears decides to go with the geographic name, she would be jumping on board a trend embraced by both Michael Jackson (his daughter is named Paris) and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham (she dubbed her son Brooklyn), reason enough to rethink the idea.

Mrs. Federline also admits she'd prefer to skip the huffing and puffing portion of the birth, and is keeping her fingers crossed that she'll deliver via Caesarean section. The reason? Her mom overshared about the pain she endured during delivery.

"I have a feeling I'm going to have an operation," Brit tells the magazine. "I don't know why, but I hope so. My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating thing that she's ever gone through in her life. So if a Caesarean doesn't happen, I'll be like, 'Epidural, please!' Hopefully my athletic abilities will take over."

(Given that the most physical things we've seen Spears do in the last year are shop and throw soda at paparazzi, we're not sure exactly what abilities she's referring to, but moving on ... )

The semi-retired pop starlet says Federline will be by her side in the delivery room, a place he's visited twice before with ex Shar Jackson. She also reveals her dream of having two girls and a boy and gushes over how fabulous she's found the conception process (warning -- ookiness ahead): "Oh yeah! Right, oh my goodness, it's awesome, though. Wow!"

Well said, Britney. Well said.

In related news, Spears has sent a message to fans worried about the fate of her family in hurricane-ravaged Louisiana.

In a posting on her Web site, she writes, "My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and any other states that might be affected by Hurricane Katrina. All of my family members there are safe, and thank you to all my fans for your concern."

[mel7dog]

Sevilla ITA :)
My mom was a size 2 when she had me naturally(8lbs) after 24 hours of labor w/zero meds.
I am 5'1" and size 2/4 and I fully intend on having a natural med free birth. (hoping for a normal size baby though!)

Back to Brit:
What surprised me post about her saying she wants a c-sections is that there was all that talk of a 4K Kabalah tub filled with Kabalah water, I am confused about her birthing plans (as weel as most of her life choices lately!!)

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I'm sorry but what exactly is this supposed to mean? Not everyone's eyes (or faces for that matter) are symmetrical.




I did not connect laser surgery w/ eyes being crooked at all!! I just mean that they look different than usual!
The laser pointer remark was about how we were nit-picking her..... Like the red marker on plastic surgery shows, or play by play on football. It is a total strange coincidence that I put the remarks next to eachother. Oops! :o

[lml41981]

I think it is one thing to have a medically warranted c-section and it is quite another thing to have a c-section because it fits your schedule or the doctor's schedule or you don't want stretch marks or whatever other fluff reason a person could come up with to elect to have a major (albeit common) surgery.

I also agree that medical reasons aside, choosing to have a c-section for fluff reasons is not "giving birth." It is "being delivered," IMO.

FWIW, my coworker is 5'2" and had three kids naturally. Her biggest was 8.5 pounds. Also, I have GD and am planning a natural childbirth. The doctor said to me today, "Medical books recommend that you consider a C-section if you have GD and your baby is estimated to weigh 9.15 pounds. Not so much for the weight, but because the shoulders could be too big. I don't see a reason not to try vaginal, natural childbirth if that is what you want to do, though. Some women have a weight limit that they set and they say, 'If my baby is this heavy, I don't even want to attempt vaginal childbirth - I want a C-section.' There's no medical reason for that, though. But we'll accommodate her request because it is her body."

Thing is, the size estimates are so shoddy that you could be told you're having a 10 pound baby and out could come a nice little 7 or 8 pounder...so you've put yourself through a major surgery for something you likely could have pushed out without much medical intervention necessary.

I really have no respect for women who choose c-sections for vanity reasons. It is like saying, "Yeah, I'm your mom and you're my kid...but there's still this thing that is more important to me than you." Also, a lot of times, the women who schedule c-sections for vanity reasons do it so early that their babies might not have fully developed yet.

[bensgirl1222]

You're right Jess, I wasn't trying to debate. You, with your small frame obviously will most likely have to have a c-section. Brit, on the other hand, doesn't (or at least she hasn't come up with a good reason why she needs one).

She's just a mess.

Yeah I see your point...I guess wanting a c-section bc you dont want the pain is a little over the top. I mean, its having a child...its not supposed to feel good! LOL

[bensgirl1222]

Not to be argumentative, but i know several women who were that height and weight (they were size 0 to size 2 and 5'0/5'2) and have had multiple vaginal births of 9 lb. babies just fine (one lady has 7 kids, the last were twins she birthed vaginally and the other had 4 kids, all big babies).

The size you are on the outside doesn't mean a whole lot when you're determining if you can birth vaginally or not :).

Well, my doctor told me I had a small frame and when the time to have a child, that I'd probably need a c-section. But thats saying I have a big baby. Obviously if my baby is 7 pounds...there is no problem.

Me too. Her plans are contradicting each other. Either one or the other right? Maybe she wants to soake in the tub before she has the c-section.

[lml41981]

Yeah I see your point...I guess wanting a c-section bc you dont want the pain is a little over the top. I mean, its having a child...its not supposed to feel good! LOL
Umm...not to mention that you're being split open and dealing with a major surgery that is much more invasive than childbirth....think that won't be painful? :p

[ez2luv]

Ohh, sorry for causing such a ruckas with my post earlier.... :(

I really don't agree with c-sections for vanity. At all.
When it is mediacally necessary, that's a different story.
I agree with so many posters on this issue, I don't really need to eplain my resons again.
When you choose to have surgery becasue 'the day fits into my schedule' and I don't want stretch marks' 'I don't like pain'....the baby appears to already be a nusance.

Anyway.....I'm trying to remember the one episode of the aweful Chaotic I watched...Was it London that Britney flew the trash in to see her on tour???
If it was...possibly they'll name the baby London for...(ahem) sentimental reasons. (Ha - can't keep a straight face when I think that! LOL!)

[Natasha]

FWIW, my emergency c-sec left me in pain for weeks, and I have a vertical scar (lovely). I am PRAYING I can pull off vaginal birth this time.

Anyway, so now she's due in October? I thought it was September?

I haven't seen this posted:


Is Britney Spears a bigamist?
SPEARS AND FEDERLINE
Is Kevin Federline just one of two current husbands for Britney Spears?
Danny Moloshok / AP file

A British talk-show host is claiming that he legally married the singer — and even though the nuptials were obviously a prank, he’s saying the vows may actually be binding.

British TV host Richard Bacon alleges that he legally tied the knot with Spears while interviewing her in a hotel room for the U.K. morning show “The Big Breakfast.”
Story continues below ↓ advertisement

“It was the first time she’d told anyone she’d split with [Justin] Timberlake and I had a bit of plan, as I had hoped to get the admission out of her about the split,” Bacon, who also has a British radio show, told his listeners. “I had a vicar waiting round the corner with a real marriage certificate. I went down on one knee in front of her and said ‘Would you marry me?’ and she said ‘Hey sure.’” Bacon says he called in the vicar, who had a legitimate marriage certificate, and they both signed it.

But after the show was over, “I’m walking off with the marriage certificate down the corridor when this massive security guard comes hurtling after me, takes it out of my hand and tears it up as he realized what I’d done and that it was legally binding,” Bacon says, and goes on to insist: “You can’t just get rid of it by tearing it up, which means I actually could still be legally married to Britney Spears, which means her marriage to Kevin doesn’t exist and that Britney Spears a bigamist.”

Spears’ rep however, dismisses Bacon’s claim, saying, “Sorry to break Richard’s heart, but Britney Spears is legally married to her husband Kevin Federline and is expecting their first child together very soon. I hope Richard is able to accept this and move on from what must be a confusing time for him.”

Wow...I'm sorry about that. I had no idea they did vertical cuts.

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

Let's hope for her sake it is true.... I never heard a follow up on whether she did get a prenup w/ Kev. The rumors before they got married was that she didn't believe in prenups and they will be together forever... Did she ever change her mind?

[bunnyboo]

I haven't finished reading these posts about the c-section, but I have to quote this:

You, with your small frame obviously will most likely have to have a c-section.

Um, I'm 5'1" and at the time I got prego I was 114 lbs. Though my baby was only 6 pounds I gave birth naturally with no medications. So IMO it's not something that is "most likely" if you have a petite frame.

[bensgirl1222]

Well, my boyfriend's sister just had a baby and she was petite like me...they estimated the baby over 10 pounds and suggested a c-section stating she wouldn't have been able to push the baby out without complications. The baby was 10 pounds 2 ounces. No way she would have pushed that baby out.

I'm not saying it hasnt been done or that other people have never done it...I am saying everyone is different and their bodies are different so whether or not you were the same size as me or the next person, has nothing to do with it.

If a doctor suggests it or finds it would be better...is all that really matters.

[bensgirl1222]

Anyway...on the topic of Britney...she looks like a child in those pics!

[KristyK]

You know, with all these bad choices she's made for herself, and now these horrendous pictures...not that there haven't been others. Why the heck doesn't someone in her camp say something to her? Is her mother so terrified of being monetarily cut off that she won't be her mother, and say something??!!? I just don't get it. It's obviously a horrible hack job by either the photographer or the magazine, I don't know, it's just wrong. It looks absolutely nothing like her, and it's gotta be embarrasing (sp?). You would think she'd say something to the magazine, [shaking head] I just don't get it.

yeah but remember when Kate Winslett came out and said that she was "perfected" and edited for her cover on Vogue (I think it was them). This is a very common thing with magazines. In fact, there's even an article about it in the August Glamour with Aiysha Taylor (sp?). Interesting reading.

[ez2luv]

You never know, maybe it was Brit's idea....??!!

[Scooter]

They do that to just about every singe photo in all those magazines. It's just more obvious because she's so recognizable and we've been looking at recent pictures.

Some of the cover models aren't even real women, they're just a nose, mouth, and eyes photoshopped onto a head with a body that's been slimmed down itself.

Women's fashion mags are notorious for this, it's been happening for years. Does anyone believe that there's a photo in those that hasn't been airbrushed?

[Zelda Von Yitz]

Here's the cover:

http://images.snapfish.com/3448894723232%7Ffp47%3Dot%3E232%3A%3D%3B%3B7%3D3%3 A3%3DXROQDF%3E2323%3A828%3A3837ot1lsi

I have a wig that looks just like her hairstyle. I'll bet that's a wig, also.

[Decemberwed]

My vote is that she has been airbrushed, shrunk and touched up with all those pics. And, it just looks plain weird.

My 2 cents about a C section: Most ethical Doctors will NOT tell you with your first baby prior to the birth that they think or want you to have surgery. Unless there is a medical reason for a section your Dr. should never encourage that. Of my 5 best friends 3 are around 5'1 and tiny. NONE of them had Csections because of their frame, nor was it suggested to them. A c section RUINS your bikini line, is harder to recover from and is major surgery. A vag birth is much easier on your body. So brit is crazy. Get an epidural for pain yes!, opt for a c section because you are scared - NUTS! And, I speak from experience.

[shopaholic]

Anyone know if Britney is contributing financially to the Katrina aid/effort? Seeing as she is a Louisiana native and all. I heard some radio DJ this morning complaining how she 'hadn't made any effort to help her home state', not sure if this is true or not.

I was wondering the same exact thing.

[MurphysLaw]

Get an epidural for pain yes!, opt for a c section because you are scared - NUTS! And, I speak from experience.

Everyone is different. I had a C-sect due mainly to being scared. My fear was extreme however and caused me *MAJOR* anxiety. My DR encouraged me to schedule a section to alleviate extra stresses on me and my baby during delivery. I'm also 5' and was 100 pre-PG...it's not the OUTER frame that counts but the internal makeup...after giving me an exam, my DR agreed that I would most likely end up with a section. I trusted him, he can see my insides, I could not. Also, being that my section was scheduled and NOT an emergency - the recovery was different/much easier (from what I've heard in comparison). I was up showering myself the next day and walking around. My bikini line is the furthest thing from ruined. YES, it's major surgery...I can't dispute that. But in all honesty - I've known plenty of women who delivered vaginally that had much worse of a recovery from tears/episiotimies than I did with my section. If Brit is truly frightened, to the point of anxiety like I was, then no - I don't see anything wrong with a section. *BUT* it's more likely for reasons of vanity, I would think...which is something I do not agree with.

[JRPAGV]

This was mentioned a while back and might have been talked about again more recently, but I thought Britney was going to have a water birth (using kabbalah water). That's what one of the magazines said, anyway.

[Natasha]

/hijack/ Kim-- It is SO great to hear a positive c-sec story! I may have to have one with #2, and I am terrified (more of the surgery than vag. birth)! It's great to hear about someone who had a fairly easy recovery...

Back to our regularly scheduled gossip...

[Camdynlyn]

Just chiming in on my birth expectations and views: I think if you want a scheduled C-section.. why not? I don't see the big deal.

*I,* however, am hoping for NO C-section because the thought of being under the knife scares me more than a vaginal birth with all the pushing pain. I am a baby when it comes to giving blood (I pass out every time) and getting shots (I have to be strapped down).

***

Weighing in on Brit. If that was really her, she looks awesome. Her bbs shrunk, face got thinner and hair was done (although I think it is too blonde).

I also heard she wants to either name the baby Preston or Vegas.

Also, why do things keep changing her due date from Sept to Oct then back to Sept??

[ez2luv]

Due date is changing becasue she can't make up her mind when is good for her schedule........Ha! ;)

[wagsgirl]

asianbear07-/Quick hijack/ I had c-sections with both my kids. Daughter was induced and turned into one, son was scheduled. The scheduled c-section was sooooo much easier to recover from. Like Kim, I was up and around 6 hours later. With DD (first) I was bedridden for 2 days because of having to labor for 27 hrs before they did the section...If you have any ?'s, feel free to email me through my profile!/end quick hijack/

On Brit-Personally, for me, I think having a scheduled c-section for vanity reasons is SOOOO wrong. I would have LOVED to give birth to my kids the "normal" way, but that wasn't in the cards for me. People who choose this way for this reason, grate on my nerves.

I agree that picture looks nothing like her even during the time frame she did have her hair a bit shorter...

[ez2luv]

Any new pics these days??

[DianaFaye]

I have to say, the pics from the Elle shoot look nothing like Britney! Totally photoshopped and airbrushed. Seriously, her face doesn't even look like Britney. It's sort of creepy.

I think they should have put her on the cover, pudgy and all. That face just doesn't look like a glowing pregnant woman's face at all. Pregnancy is beautiful, embrace the pudge!

Spears plans TV birth fundraiser

Pregnant pop princess BRITNEY SPEARS is planning to screen the birth of her baby in the next series of her reality TV show BRITNEY AND KEVIN: CHAOTIC - and she will donate all profits to victims of Hurricane Katrina in her native state of Louisiana.

American TV networks are locked in a bidding war to raise a sum which could tempt the 23-year-old hitmaker to share her intimate moment later this year (05), with some offers reportedly hitting $9 million (GBP5 million).

Despite previously rejecting the idea, the TOXIC singer is now reconsidering because the lucrative sum could provide long term aid for the victims of last week's natural disaster, which ravaged America's Gulf Coast.

A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Star, "Britney has been horrified by what has happened in new Orleans, she's a good Louisiana girl and she loves her home state.

"She's not particularly keen on filming the birth, but with all this talk of money she had to stop and think about what she could do with it.

"Brit was digging into her pockets as soon as she realised the extent of what had happened and if telly cats want to swell her donation then so be it.

"All she's concerned about is that the programme is tastefully done and she gets her privacy.

[southerner]

:eek: 9 million :eek:

[sarahh]

I'll believe it when I see it! ;)

[Katy]

Holy COW :eek: That's just insane! That woman will do *anything* to be in the limelight. At least she says she'll donate it.

[mel7dog]

Just when I thought Brit couldn't get any crazier :rolleyes: At least if it's true, she has a good cause in mind.

[torch76]

Why doesn't she just donate some of the money she already has? You would think she would want to keep the birth of her baby private.

[chefker]

*shaking head*, I don't get it. :confused: Wonder if this was Kevvy's idea to make some $$ in the first place. Maybe Brit is foiling him by deciding to donate all the profits.

At least it's for a good cause....I guess that's the only good thing I can say about it!

[shushyk]

lurker here - just thinking that would do wonders for her carreer. I think its a great politcal move. Allowing the cameras to film her birth and donating it all. Leaves you with a MUCH better taste in your mouth then the show, and when she is ready to come back (if she plays her cards right) there would be a positive memory of her to build from!

[MurphysLaw]

I'm with the previous poster who said "I'll believe it when I see it."

Other than that...I'm just as curious as anyone, but I'm NOT so sure I want to watch her birth. :eek: YEWWWW!

[cocopops]

OMG OFF TOPIC but congrats on the baby KIMANDGINO, I remember you from WC. Can't believe you had the baby. awwww you must be so excited.

[MurphysLaw]

:o TY!!

[KGif]

I don't think I buy that story about her selling the birth of her baby for 9 mil! I can see maybe selling the first pictures -- but not actually filming the birth. I mean who *really* wants to see that anyway!? She'll be begging for a c-section whilst Kevvy leans out the window sucking on a Marlboro!

re: c-sections:
Mine wasn't planned but I did end up having one. it was major surgery and of course that takes a lot out of you. But as compared to my friends who have had vaginal births, my recovery was NOTHING! I know that is not the case for all people - guess i just got lucky. I was up showering the next evening and home 3 days later doing laundry, etc.
And as for this:
A c section RUINS your bikini line
Ummm .. nope. Mine is not ruined in the least. Sure there is a SMALL scar but it fades more every day. And it's so very low that no one could ever see it unless you are totally naked. Who sees that besides you and your husband/sig other???
I've noticed a few comments from people saying that they don't consider a c-section giving birth. That is a bit offensive to those who have had c-sections. I'm not directing that at anyone specific as I have seen the comment a few times. I'm not trying to start a war AT ALL so please don't take offense ... just saying there are plenty of women here that have had c-sections. Our birth experiences were different, yeah, but that doesn't make us any less of a person or a mother.

[mel7dog]

I wrote this a few pages back..
If someone chooses a C-section mostly because they are afraid of the labor pain or don't want stretch marks (Britney) I don't consider that "giving birth".

I *think* most people who said c-sections weren't "giving birth" meant a planned c-section for vanity reasons. In your case there was nothing you could do to prevent the it. Yes there are lots of woman who NEED c-sections for medical reasons, that is totally different than WANTING one for the reasons Brit talked about.

[KGif]

Thanks for clarifying Mel. And sorry to bring this thread a bit off topic ;)

[mel7dog]

Thanks for clarifying Mel. And sorry to bring this thread a bit off topic ;)

I think we all went off topic on that one! We need to stick to Brit only bashing :)

Speaking of which, who the heck would want to watch her giev birth?! Especially after she said she is so afraid of the pain. I bet she'll be screaming the whole time :eek:

[sarahh]

Anyone else wondering if myabe the blessed event has occured? We haven't seen her out and about in days!

This is true no new pics lately! Hmmmm..Hopefully it happened with no chance it tape it ;)

How does a c-section prevent stretch marks? Even if you would deliver earlier, wouldn't you get them from the stretching of the skin before that time anyway?

Britney into Kabbalah, but doesn’t quite get it

Britney Spears is really into Kabbalah — even though she doesn’t, like, really understand it all.

“I read the Kabbalah books and I meditate on them,” she says, according to Elle magazine. “They are all in Hebrew. I don’t understand everything. But it’s kind of OK that you don’t.”

Her hubby Kevin Federline, however, isn’t as taken with trendy religion. “Kevin isn’t into it as intensely as I am,” she said. “For some reason I’m thirsting for it. But he looks at the books every once in a while.’

[t3h_wookiee]

I actually like her haircut there. :blush: Though I do not like all the photo-chopping they did of her.

I won't touch the planned c-section thing-I have too big of a mouth, but suffice it to say I agree with you Mel. :)

I think that Britney and Tom Cruise would be perfect together. He needs a sucker.. and Britney is one! Maybe we could call them Titney.. :rolleyes:

[sdianems]

Well, she says that she is "thirsting for it", meaning this religion.
What does that mean? Growing up in the deep South, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say she was raised Baptist. So what in that religion doesn't feed her like this Kabbalah does?

FWIW, I understand that "true" Kabbalah is meant only for Jewish men over the age of 40. And that this sect, if you will, is being embraced by the celebrities in LA because it tends to assuage any guilt that they may have about being so wealthy (ie: all is right with the universe and this meant to be, etc. etc. etc.)

Oh please, you with all the money to buy whatever maternity outfit you could get, and the clothes you've been seen in public in......please don't do pregnant women any favors Brit. :rolleyes:

LMAO! Maybe she was bummed there are no "slutty" maternity clothes? She just decided to make her own with no bra's and cut off mini shorts.

Also I watched a special on Kabbalah a while back and if I learned anything it's that paying $25 for a piece or red string is a joke!

Looks like Jaime Lynn got the brains out of the two girls. She's volunteering with the Red Cross!

Britney Spears' younger sister has revealed that the superstar's hometown was battered by Hurricane Katrina. Jamie Lynn Spears - now a star on her own right with a TV show - was at home in Kentwood, Louisiana, when the hurricane struck and admitted it was "scary". And now she and a group of young friends are volunteering for the Red Cross to try to help those hit worse. Kentwood, where Britney still lives part of the time and her parents both call home, is just an hour from New Orleans. Jamie Lynn, 14 and looking more like her sister than ever, had no idea the hurricane was expected to be so bad when she flew in to New Orleans the day before - when everyone else was desperately trying to get out.

http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/9035/dg6oms5vs.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[BethElena]

are you sure about the brains?

at least she's volunteering.

Question: What the heck is kaballah water? Is it like perrier? :)

[sheartm7]

Great to hear she is volunteering!

[sdianems]

Question: What the heck is kaballah water? Is it like perrier?
It is a "special" water (bottled for convenient drinking on the go) blessed by the Kaballah people.

Supposedly has healing properties.....

[BethElena]

Oh Gees....thanks for your response. I googled it and found this:

Just as the sharing energy of water was fundamentally changed by human consciousness at the time of Noah's Flood, Kabbalah teaches that the power of consciousness can also reverse the change. Years ago, Rav Berg and the great Kabbalists who were his teachers made an astonishing discovery: a truly sharing consciousness, channeled through certain Kabbalistic blessings and meditations, has the power to return water to its primordial state of completely positive, healing energy. Through the power of these meditations and the consciousness of sharing that is their foundation, Kabbalah Water came into being -- and its miraculous powers of restoration and healing became available to the world. Infused with sharing consciousness, Kabbalah Water manifests water's primordial capacity to heal and protect.

I'm sorry, but the first thing that came to mind was Zoolander.... :D :D

Britney wigs out

Following in Demi Moore's footsteps, the very pregnant Britney Spears has appeared on a magazine cover in a pose that's sure to be controversial. No, she's not naked, in fact the Kabbalah scholar is fully dressed on the cover of Elle.

Rather, the controversy will be over her hair -- specifically, whose hair is it? Debbie Gibson's? Donna Mills'? Phyllis Diller's? Check it out and report back if you can figure out what she was thinking when she let her wigged-out stylist do this to her head.

[Katy]

LOL - it is some fugly hair. And didn't someone say that had that very same wig?

[PinkMartini]

Not a big fan of the new britney hanging out pictures. I don't mind a little pregnant belly sticking out...but that's well a little much if you ask me, along with the clevage.

I couldn't agree more. Show some class you dumba**. If someone I knew EVER went out looking like that I'd have to slap them silly :eek:

[mel7dog]

I had a very real dream that I was hanging out with Brit and helping her throug labor. Wonder if this means she's having the baby soon. In the dream she was having a boy naming him Preston, but calling him Brooks for short. Crazy!!

[sheartm7]

In her final interview and shoot before giving birth, a Britney emerges who is both totally relaxed and in control. She even talks baby names with Holly Millea.

The sign on the electronic gate reads “Surviving Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted”. Desperate paparazzi times call for desperate star measures, especially when you’re a multi-platinum album-selling Grammy winner worth an estimated $123 million. Tucked inside her Malibu compound, 23-year-old Britney Spears – pop-singing seductress, newlywed, barefoot mother-to-be, tabloid staple – answers the door in short shorts and a blue butterfly-sequin halterneck top. With her hair in a loose ponytail and dangly pink crystal-cube earrings swinging from her lobes, she shoos away her yapping Chihuahua, Bit Bit (which is wearing a white ruffle tank top), and invites me into her living room. Settling on the couch, Spears sits Indian-style, hugging a pillow to her blossoming belly. She and Kevin Federline, a former back-up dancer, now her husband, await, along with the rest of the world, for the birth of their baby this month.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, Britney

“I’ve always known that was going to have a baby one day. But there are times when I get a little scared. It’s mind-blowing to have a child. I think it’s kind of healing too. Like, to your body. And therapeutic. All the secrets from your family come out of the closet for some reason. But it’s good. They have to come out sometime. You know what I mean?

Do you mean that you’re expressing your thoughts and feelings to your family?

“Just your needs and your wants. Right before I met Kevin, I didn’t talk much. I got kind of introverted. Being an entertainer, especially starting at such a young age, you long to please people and become what they want to see. In the past two years, I’ve got totally out of that. Having a child and getting married, it’s going to help me not be influenced so much, or manipulated, which can happen in a huge way.”

You have a lot of people around who might think they have your best interests at heart, but…


“And they honestly do, and they mean well. But they don’t. And it’s a sticky thing because you love these people. The sad thing is that it’s usually the ones closest to you. And you have to completely separate yourself.”

Being married, you have someone looking out for you


“Yeah, and he’s that person. Exactly. I was so lucky the day I met him.”

Before Kevin, did you have the feeling that your life was living you and you weren’t living your life?


“Being on the top isn’t everything, and money doesn’t buy happiness and all those things. You have to make time for yourself, definitely. It was really weird for me at first, because all I ever knew was work. And then you’re like, ‘Oh God, what am I going to do today?’”

Are you working on a new album?


“I’m just in the studio playing, but it will probably be a year, a year and a half away.”

You were offered the Daisy Duke role in The Dukes Of Hazzard, correct?


“Yeah. Ashton Kutcher was supposed to be in it, too. But things change and happen for a reason. That wasn’t my time. I’m supposed to be pregnant now. And I’m proud of Jessica [Simpson] – she’s doing really well.”

And now you’re busy on the domestic front


“My house is getting done. We’re adding on to it. My husband, he won’t let me see it right now because it’s not completely done.”

But you have input?

“Oh, on everything. Trust me: everything. I was like, I want this, I want that, I want this.”

Is the baby’s room blue or pink?


“I don’t know the sex. I want to be surprised. But I have a feelin’ that it’s going to be a boy, and then two girls.”

Did you know before you took the test that you were pregnant?


“Well, two weeks before I found out I was expecting, I wrote a song about becoming pregnant, like, I did a video for it.”

The sex must be really great when you’re having it to make a baby


“Oh yeah!”

All that catholic schoolgirl stuff…


“Is out the window!”

And when you think of all those years you spent trying not to


[Laughs] “Right. Oh my goodness. It’s awesome, though. Wow!”

Your mother is going to be a grandmother for the first time. Was she happy when you broke the news or taken aback?


“Taken aback. I think she thought I was probably going to wait a little bit, be married for a while But those weren’t the plans of Britney! [Laughs] She’s gonna be a hot grandma. And I’m gonna be a hot mom.”

Will you have a natural childbirth?


“I have a feeling I’m going to have an operation. I don’t know why. But I hope so. I don’t want to go through the pain. My mom said giving birth was the most excruciating pain she’s ever gone through in her life. So… if [a Caesarean] doesn’t happen, I’ll be like ‘Epidural, please!’ Hopefully my athletic abilities will take over. Kevin’s going to hold my hand.”

Have you thought of baby names?


“We watched this thing on TV on wacky baby names. I was like, oh my goodness some of these names these people come up with are craaaaazy. I don’t wait to say any of the name, because I don’t want to offend anybody. But ever since I was a little girl, I thought for a boy I love Sean Preston – I love that name. Or London Preston. Isn’t London pretty? And, er, for a girl, I love Addison Shye. I think that’s pretty.”

Being pregnant do you feel more vulnerable moving through the world?


“Emotionally I go through stages…. There are times, like, If Kevin’s late, I’ll just go [makes a sad face]. But [physically] I feel more empowered. All my little sister’s friends are like, ‘Can I touch your belly?’ And I like it.”

What is Kevin’s best quality?

“I get kind of crazy sometimes. And he’s like this [gestures a straight line]. And I can tell him anything and he’s awesome. And so humble and just loves me no matter what. And I love that about him.”

How hard was the initial public reaction to the fact that Kevin had another relationship and a baby on the way when you met him?

“I didn’t really think about that at the time. I didn’t care. I loved him. And so they could talk all they wanted. It really doesn’t matter to me.”

You’ve weathered the tabloid coverage like a real pro


“It’s hard. I worry about my little sister. I see Jamie Lynn in that light and I’m like, you know, I was always mad because I was always overprotected, and now I’m just going to overprotect her!”

Her show, Zoey 101, got nominated for an Emmy


“Yeah, her little show’s doing amazing. I’m so proud of her. I really love her. She’s very sweet – and dry. She’s the person when you’re in a room that says things you want to say but you don’t say. She just blurts it out and you’re like, ‘Oh, that was an air breaker!’ She’s very smart.”

She’s getting to the age you were when you…


“I know, she’s about to be in the ninth grade, and that was when I had my first serious boyfriend.”

Have you given her the ‘birds and the bees’ talk?


“Oh, she knows a lot more than our generation did at that age. And she hasn’t done anything.”

Not that you know of! Kids these days, you have to talk to them about sexuality in life and death terms…


“It’s crazy.”

[sheartm7]

Scary, too. Did you vote last year?


“Um, no. I did not.”

Britney!

“Oh my God. [Puts a pillow over her face] I’m so embarrassed.”

OK, tell me about practising Kabbalah


“Kabbalah has helped my soul. I was brought up a Baptist, and there are religions and all that stuff, and the Bible’s written – everything’s in codes. And the thing that drew me to Kabbalah is, it all comes from light. This sounds so weird, I know, but I’m just trying to explain it in a way that – like, it all stems from light.”

Do you actually read the Kabbalah books?


“Yeah, I read them and I meditate on them.”

Are they in English?


“No, they are all in Hebrew. I don’t understand everything. But it’s kind of OK that you don’t.”

Is Kevin practising Kabbalah now, too?


“Not as intensely as I am. For some reason I’m thirsting for it. But he looks at the books every once in a while.”

What would you say is the best thing about being married?


“The simple thing of just having somebody to lay your head on. Oh [fanning her face with her hand], it makes me want to cry right now. At night, when you just have somebody that loves you unconditionally, no matter what. Oh [her eyes fill up with tears], it just makes me want to cry right now.”

Didn’t you ever think you would have that with someone?


[Tears stream down her face, she wipes them away] “Oh, why am I [crying]? This is so silly. I thought I would have it, but not like that. It’s deep. Your love grows. And it’s awesome.”

It’s a gift, speaking of which, let me see that wedding ring


“This isn’t the real one, though. I’m getting a newer one which is even better.”

Wait a second, is this a real diamond?


“Oh, it’s totally a real diamond. But it’s not the final. I like this, but it catches on everything. I want something that’s not as pokey-outy. The one I’m getting is a bit flatter. And it’s just more of a rare diamond.”

Get the upgrade before cutting your hair – pregnant women are notorious for chipping it off and freaking out their husbands


“Next week I’m getting some new extensions. They look really pretty and natural. I feel better with long hair. And for my baby, I want to be a goddess.”

Your new fragrance is called Fantasy


“Mmm-hmm. The first scent was Curious. Fantasy – and I’m not just saying this – it really does smell better. I like vanilla anything. And it had a bit of China musk. I love going to stores and getting all those cheap little scents. But Fantasy doesn’t smell very cheap. It smells very sexy.”

[KGif]

Her show, Zoey 101, got nominated for an Emmy “Yeah, her little show’s doing amazing. I’m so proud of her.

That sounds just a wee bit condescending, no??? "Little show"? Maybe a small streak of jealousy there, eh Brit?

[Lizard]

She has a feeling it's gonna be a boy, and she has a feeling she's going to have an "operation"... I'm guessing she knows both of those facts already.

(nothing wrong with that, I'm just guessing she knows and wants to keep the illusion of surprise)

[B]Wait a second, is this a real diamond?


“Oh, it’s totally a real diamond. But it’s not the final. I like this, but it catches on everything. I want something that’s not as pokey-outy. The one I’m getting is a bit flatter. And it’s just more of a rare diamond.”

Pokey-outy???? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ROTFL. :rolleyes: :D

[Natasha]

KGif--I thought that sounded condescending too. What has SHE done lately, besides make an ass of herself?

[katmg]

She just blurts it out and you’re like, ‘Oh, that was an air breaker!’ She’s very smart.”

I guess she'd be smart enough to know that the phrase is "ice breaker" not "air breaker"?? :rolleyes:

[Heidi9771]

She is not very eloquent in the least...when she was younger it didn't appear so much, but now...

[sdianems]

LMAO! Totally agree with everyone's comments.....that article only shed more light on just how young, uneducated and ignorant she truly is.
Too bad she came to fame by being thin, blonde and willing to shake her booty onstage.

Ya gotta wonder what one does when no longer the object of adoration of millions.
Oh, wait...I know! Move to Bahrain like Michael Jackson did!

[KGif]

HA - i didn't even notice that "air-breaker" comment!!!! That is the best.

Breaking the ice is one thing ..... breaking the air is something entirely different (at least it was when I was younger and used silly slang words for - ahem - passing gas!)

:)

[BethElena]

It scares me everytime I see her, that she will soon be a mother, especially with comments like "hot mother" and such....poor kid.

[bunnyboo]

"Air Breaker" ROTHFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first read that I thought it might just be a "southern" term, but maybe she's just proving herself to be as dumb as everyone sees her! Ah!

On another note: I heard on the radio this morning that she was photgraphed with some rolled up sweats or shorts, showing her belly and smoking a cigarette!!?!?? Now I don't know if this is true or not, but the radio show did say they saw pictures online...can anyone find these?

“The simple thing of just having somebody to lay your head on. Oh [fanning her face with her hand], it makes me want to cry right now. At night, when you just have somebody that loves you unconditionally, no matter what. Oh [her eyes fill up with tears], it just makes me want to cry right now.”


[Tears stream down her face, she wipes them away] “Oh, why am I [crying]? This is so silly. I thought I would have it, but not like that. It’s deep. Your love grows. And it’s awesome.”


Okay yeah she is so hormonal. I remember getting like that.


I want something that’s not as pokey-outy.

"Yeah, I read them and I meditate on them.”

Are they in English?


“No, they are all in Hebrew."

I just can't get over this. She apparently reads Hebrew but doesn't understand it all.

And come on, the Bible is "in code" but the Kabbalah isn't? It's is a part of Juddaism, right? The religion with scholars who've devoted their whole lives to unlocking the millions of codes in Hebrew in the Torah?

[BethElena]

scooter - i was thinking the same thing.

She can barely grasp english, but reads Hebrew?

[PinkMartini]

I'd rather she wear nothing then wear something that grown women wear to look evocative. Sorry if someone on the beach has a problem with a 5 year old innocently romping without a top – I have a problem with sexualizing my daughter.

(She's now nine and wears two-piece suits, but not string bikinis.)

/OT rant

I couldn't agree more. With all of the sicko's in this world, I don't understand how people can allow their children out wearing a STRING BIKINI :confused:

[PinkMartini]

I really don't agree with c-sections for vanity. At all.
When it is mediacally necessary, that's a different story.
I agree with so many posters on this issue, I don't really need to eplain my resons again.
When you choose to have surgery becasue 'the day fits into my schedule' and I don't want stretch marks' 'I don't like pain'....the baby appears to already be a nusance.

I couldn't agree more

[cocopops]

Have we heard or seen any brit pics lately? I know she is going to pop any day or week now. So any dirt? :p

[monique]

I lurk here all the time but never posted. I read off MSN yesterday that Brit has gained over 50 pounds with this baby and her "team" is very worried about her getting back into shape after this baby is born. Aparently she is hooked on fried chicken from a local eatery and some kind of milkshake that has something like 1550 calories! Now, I gained 40 pounds when I was pregnant with my son (but he was also 10.2 pounds) and the belly just didn't didn't firm up like before. I am thinking that Brits belly shirt days are over.

Also, the size of the person doesn't really matter when giving birth it is the size of your cervix and pubic bone for the baby to be able to come out. I was able to give birth naturally and so did my friend who is seriously a size 0 and she had a 9+ pound baby. So Brits "predictions" are probably more for vanity than necisity and that is really sad! Yeah the contrax are painful, but heck with the epidural, it is not bad at all and allows you to enjoy your birth experience.

Funny bit from thesuperficial.com:

Britney won't be dumped in Vegas

Remember those reports that Britney Spears signed a long-term Las Vegas concert contract? No, me neither. But apparently they weren't true, for she has haughtily "laughed [them] off," insisting instead that she will invest her time in preparing her next album and raising a sociopath.

I, for one, am not conviced. Because Spears' fame looks to be on its last bare foot, and it seems to me that Vegas is where every country dumps its iconic musicians when it wants to get rid of them. England dumped Elton John there, and we Canadians dumped Celine Dion there ages ago. And let me tell you, the people of the Polite Northern Tundra have never been happier. We even have a holiday to commemorate the day we got rid of her. We call it D(ion)-Day, where we all get naked and roll around in maple syrup and sing "My Heart Will Go On" while burning a crude Celine Dion effigy. It's just such a... beautiful and... joyous event. Ahem. Excuse me, I have something in my eye.

Yeah those Elle pics were SOOO Photoshopped! You knwo how we were all talking about how they "shrunk her boobs, arms, everything!" Well in these outtakes you can tell!

These are from Pink is the New Blog

Look how HUUUGE her boobs look in the one on the right in the white dress:

I got this from the Celebrity Gossip Thread:

Britney Spears' Versace baby

Britney Spears' new baby is set to have a full Versace wardrobe. The pop babe is hoping to have the world's best dressed tot after fashion designer Donatella Versace reportedly promised to create the baby a glamorous wardrobe.

The stylist is said to have contacted the singer - who is due to give birth to her first child with husband Kevin Federline later this month - and offered her a range of trendy baby clothes for free.

A source said: "Donatella called Britney and said she would like to make clothes for the baby." Britney was delighted. "They have met a few times and mingle in the same circles, but Britney never expected such a generous offer.

Britney's mother, Lynne, is also planning to make some outfits for the new baby.

The source added: "Lynne's an excellent seamstress and has been doing a lot to make sure the baby's wardrobe is fully stocked" Britney, who is married to dancer Kevin Federline, recently revealed the baby names she is considering for the unborn tot The singer admitted she likes the name London Preston for a boy or Addison Shye for a girl.

So the question I have, is, did Donatella step in because she wants the publicity, or she just fears the spread of "white trash fashion-itis" if Brit is allowed to shop for that baby herself...

BRITNEY: 'I'M STILL PREGNANT'

BRITNEY SPEARS has rubbished rumours she has given birth to her first child prematurely.

A British tabloid today (12SEP05) claims the singer was rushed to hospital in California over the weekend (10-11SEP05) - but Spears insists reports she went into labour early are completely untrue.Click for rest of article (http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/britney%20im%20still%20pregnant)

I don't *think* this has been posted.

Britney's massive pregnancy weight gain

Britney Spears has reportedly gained a massive 51lbs during her pregnancy. The singer, who is expecting her first child with husband Kevin Federline, has been spotted looking increasingly heavier in recent months but now sources claim the weight gain is out of hand.

Here (http://www.teentoday.co.uk/gossip/gossipstory691.shtml) is the rest of the article.

[KristyK]

So, Cheemarlboro Federline hasn't been born yet then? I'm surprised there are no pictures of her, how's she eating?? They eat out for every meal, who's cooking for them? Oh yeah, her mother, the chief cook and bottle washer, oh yeah, and seamstress!!

[KGif]

Yikes.
It's times like this that I really feel bad for the girl. I bet her diet isn't even that bad. I gained 56 lbs during my pregnancy. Of course I could have eaten better but I certainly was NOT eating an over-abudance of crap either. I just had an ice cream and carb craving - and hey I was pregnant so I figured I deserved my treats!
Towards the end I felt as big a freaking house and I can't even imagine pictures of me being plastered all over the tabloids for the world to see with the headline "Kelly's MASSSIVE pregnancy weight gain". She's probabaly somewhat used to it -- but still. Something like that can send an emotional 8/9 month preggo lady straight over the ledge of looney town!

[LeslieandPaul]

I do not like Britney Spears, but I really think the press should lay off on the whole weight gain issue. Lots of women gain more weight than that when they're pregnant.

[KristyK]

You just have to take the gossip with a grain of salt ladies. Yep, she's gained weight, yep, its gossip. Most women (that I've known anyway) gain that much weight, because they feel like eating, many for the first time in ages. But she's a celeb, she's known for being skinny and showing belly, she's also been photographed at least 100 times (most of them shown in this thread! :D ) with a frothy milk shake type of drink from Starbucks in her hands. So, she's going to be in the rumor/gossip mill, no matter how much weight she's gained during pregnancy. I agree, it's not nice, but the gossip is what sells the pictures and the papers. Besides, where would this thread be if everyone said to "be nice" to Miss Brit?? There wouldn't be a thousand entries and over 90 thousand views!

[cocopops]

Sad, Sad, Sad... I am not a huge fan ANYMORE of Britney. But I agree with Leslie. Pregnancy is a real touchy subject to be making fun of. In most aspects it is NOT a women's fault how much weight she gains during pregnancy. I think it is sad as well that they are making fun of her because she has gained weight. Maybe if it was a year after she had her baby and she was still overweight and not doing anything about that then maybe I could understand but gawd she is having a baby. I say make fun of her trailer trash looks, make fun of her gold digging man but to make fun of something like pregnancy that is not even human.

[mel7dog]

Maybe I am mean, but I don't really feel bad for her about the media commenting on her pg weight gain First off, she is a star :rolleyes: so she knows she's going to be in the spot light regardless. Second, every time I see her she is eating fried food or drinking milk shakes and wearing clothes that do not flatter her figure. Have we seen her snacking on any healthy foods or hitting the gym, not that I recall!

Yes many woman gain that much weight when pg, everyone is different, but she seems to only be "feeding the fire" of gossip with her habits.

I disagree, When I was preggers I gained 62 lbs and I did Prenatal Yoga, I walked all the time, and I TRIED to eat senseably with the occasional "pig out sessions" here and there. I had a small but curvy figure like Britney. But with me and all the women in my family as soon as we get preggers that's it man we become FAT B*itches and the days of looking and feeling cute are over. Maybe that is the mood she is in... All im saying is give her a break at least on this and at least for the next 6 months (that's 3 celeb months) till after she has the baby.

[lml41981]

I agree that people ought to lay off the weight gain comments during the pregnancy. It can be hard for women who have gained a lot of weight during pregnancy to even read the comments because the thought enters the mind, "Well they may as well be talking about me..." And I guarantee you there are women on CC who read these comments and wonder what is being said about themselves behind their backs on CC and IRL (I was "fortunate" to overhear some of the comments made about me...and they hurt! :().

We don't see pictures of every meal Britney eats...we see pictures of the ones that sell...the ones that are interesting. The ones that show her pigging out. Who knows...maybe when she's at home she eats very heathfully and she only indulges when she's eating out. That's not that unusual...I don't have dessert when I'm at home, but I normally wouldn't hesitate to have dessert when I eat out.

[Kristen78]

I agree. I dont think Britney is that bad looking for being 8-9 months pregnant. She's supposed to gain weight. That said her choice of hair-dos and clothes is definitely questionable!

[ejs]

Somebody said people shouldn't lay off gossiping about her (I'm paraphrasing) because she's a star. I think there are times that celebrities need to be left alone: when they're pregnant, when they're grieving, when they're trying to get married in private.

So she's gained weight while pregnant - does that really surprise anyone? Who cares how much it is? She was so thin pre-pregnancy, maybe her dr told her to gain more weight. Maybe she wanted to. Why even comment on it?

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

I'll admit that I don't get the impression that she takes that great of care of herself (smoking, lack of seatbelts, white trash look). But I haven't looked at a pic and thought 'Dang, Britney blew up!!' (though I have many times thought 'What the heck are you wearing!!') I think she looks just about right for her pregancy, in fact when she does her hair and wears normal clothes she looks great for 8-9 months pregnant.

I must be totally behind here, I didn't know Britney had so many tattoos - not that that is a bad thing, just saying I didn't know about half of these!

[LexyLou]

In most aspects it is NOT a women's fault how much weight she gains during pregnancy.

Just want to comment on this. I agree that a lot of woman gain a lot of weight even when they aren't eating a ton. It just depends on your body, the amount of fluid you are carrying etc...but in this case, Brit Brit is just stuffing her face. I have no doubt that she's gained 50+ lbs because she's using her pregnancy as an excuse to eat like a pig. Occasional fast food is one thing but a diet of Cheetos and McDonalds will make you gain weight, pregnant or not.

That being said, I have no doubt she'll lose all the weight after the baby comes. It seems like a lot of stars have to diet and pretty much starve themselves for their entire career so they go a little crazy during pregnancy (think Kate Husdon (70+ lbs) and Jenny McCarthy (65+)) and they all seem to lose it and look hot after, you know? I agree with others though, that even if she does loose the weight she will never be the hot sexy Britney again because she's done so many other things to tarnish that image.

Oh come on. You have no idea what she's been eating her whole pregnancy. You see the photos the paparazzi wants you to see.

[mel7dog]

This may be true, but *typically* someone who is seen daily eating fried food and at McD's for lunch doesn't go home and cook grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. If she was concerned about her health and weight I doubt she'd be eating as much junk as she does.

I'm sure she just doesn't care what she eats or looks like since she is pg.

[EuropeBride]

I saw "Chaotic" for the first time last night (it takes a while for things to get to Germany) and I was completely grossed out! It really is like watching a train wreck... And Kevin is just plain creepy, the way he always filmed himself, eyeing the camera from the side with his evil eyes... sent shivers down my spine. And Britneys racoon eyes... They deserve each other!

[sheartm7]

Oh come on. You have no idea what she's been eating her whole pregnancy. You see the photos the paparazzi wants you to see.
I have to agree with this. I can't remember seeing a picture of her eating in a long time. And we have no idea what she eats at home, and it isn't fair to assume.

If she wants to eat like a pig while she's pregnant, who cares? I don't. If the press wants to pick on her weight once she's given birth, then fine. But I think they ought to have some respect and leave her alone right now.

[GeekGirl]

Okay, fine, she's pg, so she's gained weight, and tons of people feel we should leave that be. That doesn't change the fact that she's Britney freakin'-Spears for chrissakes, there's plenty of other things to make fun of!!! We could make it like a game, who has the most snarky comment to make that doesn't have to do with her weight gain?

Discuss!! :D

[KGif]

Someone brought up a good point about other celebs gaining a lot of weight during their pregnancy then seeming to bounce right back shortly after giving birth. That made me wonder why there is such a huge deal being made about Britney's weight gain -- yet you heard (or I heard) pretty much nothing about Kate Hudson's weight gain when she was pregnant. And she was HUGE! She had to have been twice Brit's size! I guess it's just more fun to pick on Britney.

(I couldn't believe how fast Kate Hudson took that weight off by the way -- I am entirely too jealous of these stars and their will power and personal trainers, etc.!)

[kd 9.21.02]

When Elizabeth Hurley was asked how she lost her 'baby weight' she said something like, "I went to bed hungry and crying many nights."

While I'm sure she had LOTS of help with trainers and nutritionists at her disposal, I thought her brutally honest answer was refreshing to hear (in an odd way).

[mel7dog]

Kate Hudson was also WAY under weight before she got pg though, so she needed to gain more weight to be healthy during her pregnancy.

While I'm sure she had LOTS of help with trainers and nutritionists at her disposal, I thought her brutally honest answer was refreshing to hear (in an odd way).

ITA, we all know many stars don't eat enough food, at least you had the guts to admit it :)

As for Brit, I really don't know if she'll bounce back after the baby. Ever since her and Kevo have been toegther she has been going down hill. It would be hard for someone to stay motivated to get back in shape and eat great when their hubby is smoking and eating fast food!

[Lil_Mrs_0702]

Just to add one more comment on Brit's weight (and then I'm done, I swear). Britney isn't made to be that skinny.... She always really worked on getting toned. She isn't built like Kate Hudson who is naturally tiny. Brit did hours on the tread mill and a ton of excercising to stay in the shape before she was before Kev. That was one of the things that attracted a lot of guys to her before. She was an athletic girl w/ some meat behind it(you could tell by the round face). Now that she is pg she doesn't do all the same fitness training as before, which just adds fuel to the weight gain.

[LexyLou]

Britney isn't made to be that skinny.... She always really worked on getting toned.

That's what I liked about her. She was athletic looking before meeting Kevin...I'm not even going to say before getting pregnant..she started looking gross almost the day she started hanging out with him.

Seriously, she was gaining weight at rapid speed even before she got pregnant because she stopped working out and started smoking weed and eating junk. I really don't care if she wants to gain 100 lbs while pregnant. But it's just obvious in her face, butt, arms and legs that most of her weight gain is just that, weight gain, not baby gain. Again, I don't care what the girl does and I do think she will lose the weight after...probably not in a healthy way but she'll lose it.

[cocopops]

That's what I liked about her. She was athletic looking before meeting Kevin...I'm not even going to say before getting pregnant..she started looking gross almost the day she started hanging out with him.

Exactly the day!!!! Exactly THE DAY!!!! I Agree :D

[Rosebud]

FYI, a lot of celebrities use food delivery services after their babies are born, and that's why they take off the weight so quickly. The Zone is the most popular one. This is the service I hear the most about: http://www.zonegourmet.com/

That, in combination with a personal trainer, will put you back in shape pretty fast. It's expensive for the average person, though.

Of course, Britney would have to give up her Starbucks and Cheetos, and that might be tough! :p
