Who Can Save Britney?

Posted Fri 30 May 2008 1:00PM BST by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void
Britney's gone very quiet. Is it possible something terrible has happened to her and no-one's noticed?! No, of course not. That poor girl can barely crash into a stationary vehicle without there being some massive rumpus. In fact, her slide into failed superstardom is now so well documented that people with no real say in her life are queuing up for a slice of the damaged apple pie. As you may know, Spears is currently ‘in the care' of father Jamie, a role he must surely find more satisfying than his previous one as a builder. But that's not stopped beefy, domineering but strangely attractive famed British Supernanny Jo Frost from offering her considerable services.

"I do believe she loves her children very much and I'd be more than happy to help her", explains Frost, who says the fallen idol needs to feel "secure and confident in herself", as she bids to regain estranged kids Jayden James and Sean Preston. But this global bid for Britney's salvation doesn't end there. Oh no. Because an olive branch is also being extended by a more unlikely good samaritan, namely Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten, who is renowned for his caring attitude. If punk was about anything it was looking out for your neighbour, right? So Rotten may have once spat the words "I wanna destroy passers-by", but that was ages ago.

In 2007, his viewpoint is very different, as he reveals: "I haven't written a song for Britney yet but I would love to. I'd like to help out because there's a girl who needs some help. She's been hurt. And hurt is the root core essence of good music". He's right. Famethrowa very often feels very hurt when he listens to the music of The Kooks. I also think I could have a role here in aiding Britney's return to the bosom of real life. How hard could it be? From what I can gather all that's required is endless partying, the occasional marriage, then into rehab while the heat dies down, making sure to avoid the hairdressers on the way. Easy.

Of course, it's not just me, Supernanny and Johnny Lydon who are in with a shot at this icon rescue mission. In fact, Famethrowa has decided to open a book to find out "Who Can Save Britney?"

Here's the latest odds:

2-1 David Beckham
5-1 Jesus
7-1 Supernanny
10-1 Jamie Spears
13-1 Oprah
15-1 Jose Mourinho
18-1 Kate Bush
20-1 Me
25-1 You
30-1 Tom Cruise
33-1 Superman
33-1 Kanye West
40-1 Shergar
50-1 K-Fed
99-1 Amy Winehouse


So, who's your money on?

As a mother at the same age of Britney i really feel for her but then again i feel for her children more. I put my children first and i feel that she has brought her's shame and alot of pain. I hope she gets better not only for her children but for her. Fame made her and it has destroyed her.

4. Simon -
I have to admit that i do really like amy winehouse for her music and not her looks obviously but i feel that she has totally hit a low point and i cant see people taking her seriousely any more. She is now a freak that everybody takes the mick out off we have all forgotten her talent sadly.

5. Yahoo! Music User -
I think that all of us should leave Britney Spears alone shes already going through so much

6. KIM T -
u need to get yourself a life, and find something less demeaning to do, than ripping people(namely britney) to pieces ! i'm now 48yrs, & do believe,that your generation, really need help, in finding out, what HAPPINESS & CONTENTMENT are ! As woody would say BE NICE !

7. JANA -
yea super man can save briney

8. tracey -
is there any wonder that poor britney has gone off the rails to a different station, she can not do anything with out a bad comment in the press, she is slated every time, i mean if every time u went out of the house, then the next day u open the paper theres u and pages of bad stuff is writen about you, and nothing ever nice, that would break anyone down, i dont know what this world is coming to, to be so horrid to some one as troubled as britney, she needs our support and understanding to help her through this hard time she is having not cashing in on her troubles, and making her fall lower and lower, i am 28 and have four young children, and being a mum is demanding enough, i cant emagen wot poor britny is going through,

9. Sam -
agree. don't like amy w.

10. Yahoo! Music User -
everybody has a different oppinion.

11. Ron -
oooooh!

12. -
yup

13. Freya -
i think Britney will save herself, if she survives everyone trying to help her. She is a legend, and anyone who was pushed into fame at that age will have problems at some point. Go Britney!

My money`s on Shergar, much better performer than Brittney!
