AP admits to having already written Spears' obit

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAAAAA

It is pretty sad when we have nothing better to do than bet on when someone will die. Brit has some serious issues and is for sure a good canidate to promote the impact of mental illness on our society today. Could it be possible that many of her problems relate to the world she grew up in? We as a society are obsessed with celeb's, glamour, and most of all money. It is sad, really sad how we turn someone elses suffering into money making enjoyment for the public.

The disturbing thing is this overall sick desire of our society - not everyone but a good percentage - who with a guilty pleasure likes to watch people like celebs such as Spears pathetically self-destruct and do nothing but continue to watch avidly while munching on mental popcorn.

I wasn't comparing in the sense of amazing-ness and worth, but just at the level of fame they had and them being portrayed as unstable. No way are they alike for any talent or anything.

This is sad. To prey on someone who obviously has a problem and cant get out of the spotlight long enough to get better... These people are sick.. Trying to get rich of of someone elses vulnerabily.

It's disgusting. Only bottom feeders like the reporters who feed on Britney Spears could imagine such a thing.

The AP is beginning to make the Iraq war look good. Say, don't they need some more of those types in Bagdad? Maybe outside the green zone? Is Fallujah still hot?

Whatever happened to treat others as you want to be treated?

Britney Spears could be your sister or daughter. She is definitely ungrounded and her parents don't appear to have a clue how to b parents. It is not Britney's fault she was not raised in a healthier family. It is a shame all those smart cats in Los Angeles making all those millions off of her haven't a clue either.

That goes for all the celebrity females (I guess I'd have to include males too) in and out of trouble. Where are the seasoned professionals who can mentor Britney and these others through the rough times? Or was she just an innocent to take advantage of, to prey on, to manipulate, to use and through away?

you know, why do people still care about her misadventures? it's cruel to want to set a timeline for anyones deaths, be they sooth sayers or paparazzi.

That's so not funny!!!! You can't guess when someone is gonna die. Yeah she's a basketcase but you don't do that cus it's just wrong AND mean.

Yeah, but Britney don't have a Mick Jagger to back her up. She got nobody but the camera-clad guerillas!

Hmmmm...
The article is certainly right about the impact her potential death would have on the world, and I agree, leave celebrities alone, with less pointless publicity for artists like this could cause a revolution in mainstream music as we know it. the most obvious thing is that this is a horrible ultamatum on any human life. I doubt that the news that they already began her lament is very hard for britney herself to deal with, considering her entire life. Objectifying herself since childhood, she has continuosly had her life scheduled for her, and told how to look, (exist) and with both the paparazzi's and publics close eyes and the internet, she has got to have been one of the worlds most embarassed individuals for a good long while now. Wouldn't it be crazy if britney's life as a publicly broadcasted Icon was a propaganda technique used by the government (working with MTV of course) to get the younger generations to straighten up. Don't drink and do drugs Dont have sex . Wait a minute, whose values are those again? The Pinnacle of Pop. The majority of the public have a good time laughing about her and either don't consider her suffering or aren't compassionate about the kind that it is, what other kinds of products are expected out of the cruel environment of growing up on TV. Im 20 years old and Im pretty sure when I say most people I know in my age group would do a lot of drinking and drugs if we all had britney spears paycheck. Besides getting fu*ked up and buying pointless material things what should famous celebrities and other wealthy people should do with their money instead? What would you do with it?

if she dies this year i win 100$. now that's sick.

thank you and you're welcome.

standard practice. i guess they look at lifestyle and prominence as well as age when deciding to write an obit. one organization famously prematurely post Joe DiMaggio obit.

Druggies like this are like Keith Richards, they just don't give a $h!t and it gives them a metaphysical power to live almost indefinitely. I think they're waaaay too premature writing her obit.

Amen to that brother!

Comparing her to Joplin, Hendrix and Cobain kinda made mine hurt.

yea...that's pretty disturbing. I'm starting to agree with Chris Crocker...LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE! I mean...yea she's a celebrity but come on

I think it's horrible to guess when anyone is going to die. That makes my heart hurt.

I wonder if she'll die at 27 like Joplin, Hendrix, or Cobain.
