OK....ENOUGH, ALREADY!!!!!

Please don't take this entry the wrong way.  I seem to be one of the few people on this planet who feels the way that I do. 

Britney, Lindsay and even Paris should be LEFT ALONE.  My goodness!  The paparazzi are hounding these girls, following them everywhere they go; they have NO PRIVACY, and no one respects them.

By no means am I condoning the behavior of these young women.  But I am saying that some measure of respect and dignity should be afforded to them, simply because they are HUMAN, just like you and I.  Think about it; how would you like it if someone with a camera followed YOU constantly, hanging on your every word, taking intimate pictures of you, criticizing every word that comes out of your mouth, and every action that you perform?  The fact that these young women are "celebutantes" shouldn't be an excuse for a free-for-all into their daily existence!

The problem that I have with these "journalists" is that they are so hypocritical.  I mean, I am sure that many of them have been caught in uncompromising positions themselves.  Some are probably themselves suffering with addictions.  Their marriages or relationships may be less than perfect, if they are involved in any at all!  And, hey.......how many of US tied one too many on at a party or a nightclub in our twenties?!?  I know I have!  (Remembering fondly........LOL)

In my humble, motherly opinion, Britney, Paris and Lindsay grew up too fast.  The sad sight that we are witnessing today are three young women trying desperately to reclaim those days of carefree bliss, much to the chagrin, the amazement, and sometimes the disgust of the American public.

I don't feel that they owe me anything.  But the media is making these fragile human beings believe that they do.  I mean, for God's sake, how many stories have you heard of a 20-year old going to AA meetings, battling drug addiction AND an eating disorder ALL AT ONCE?  It's entirely too much stress.  I am fearing that if this media circus continues, and if these young women continue to be harassed in this way, something fatal can and will happen to one of them.  The tragedy can be self-inflicted.  I pray that these people would just leave these girls alone.  Let them be, before it's too late.
