Maybe Britney's manager is the crazy one

I agree. She absolutely needs is a strong, HEALTHY support system and medical assistance to help her get better. Oh, and the paparazzi could lay off a little too.

Age really doesn't mean a lot. It depends on how functional her family was as she grew up, and how that family remains involved in and a support system for her.

Clearly, her family, for whatever reason, did not remain her primary source of grounding and a support system. Celebrity is tough on the celebrity, but equally tough on the family - in many cases.

More than we like to admit it, we are dependent on a healthy support system, Britney clearly didn't have that for a while now - well actually, at least since she began spiraling out of control.

That's understandable, but she's how old? she's been in the spotlight for how long? she's a big girl, and she needs to make decisions on her own, wise ones, especially concerning her career. her new album would of been a hit, if there was proper advertisement and promotion. i almost wish that the writers and producers would of given those songs to someone more worthy. i want her to get better, because she potentially could be the next madonna, but as of right now, i hope that she stays off drugs, and learns to trust her family as oppose to strangers she meets on the streets who are going to use her for money.

But more than that ri1266, someone needs to look after her that won't steal from her or manipulate things for their personal benefit, and keep the drugs away - like her father if he's a good man. I'm very glad to see he stepped in and sincerely hope he continues until Britney can trust people again.

Everyone just needs to leave her alone. The press, the media, and the paparazzi all just need to chill out and give her some space. I swear, if something doesn't change, this is just another Anna Nicole waiting to happen.

This Sam guy clearly had a lot to gain with Britney being needy and confused, didn't he? It seems this Sam character and Britney's new friends are leaches. It's no wonder she's having problems, she can't trust anybody and everyone wants to manipulate her for their own benefit.

Based on the comments made about what Sam was doing with Britney's drugs, it's very likely she would have died. He would have seen to it - and most people would have assumed Britney was a drug using self-destructive flake ignoring his efforts in bring it about.

It'd be another Anna Nicole Smith case where the boyfriend wants her gone so he could spend her money without her - did that lawyer get prosecuted yet for murder? Seriously, who doubts he OD'd Anna Nicole, and even her son?

Britney's father needs to be her dad and protect her until she gets it - herself straightened out.
