Rosie on Britney
Filed under: Britney Spears > Rosie O'Donnell > When Celebrities Blog
Wow. This is some serious shiz!
It takes something really mayjah to get Rosie O'Donnell to speak in half sentences (as opposed to her usual haiky style).
The former talk show host just posted the following entry on her blog about Britney Spears, the next Princess Diana, in her eyes.
Says Ro:
"TWENTY SIX
I remember the tunnel as it appeared on the news, lit by headlights, flashlights, red lights. Between the cement tall pillars was a heap of twisted metal. I saw it then, and I can see it now. Diana dead.
She will be trying to get away, but they will chase her, just as they chased her into that church yesterday. There were dozens of them, jostling their way into sanctuary, elbowing past each other, just to creep closer to her. Even her last-minute, folded-hand prayers can’t be kept sacred. There can be no silent moments in a crowd; no silence, and no secrets.
All this fresh, painful frailty costs her so much, but it lines their pockets very well. A kings ransom was paid for those tabloid-ready cheap shots of her with messy hair, tear-soaked eyes, and the half-smile of a desperate baby girl.
“I’m scared,” she told them yesterday, when they later mobbed her at court. “Move back,” she said. “I’m scared. Stop it. Stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please.”
Sometimes it really is too much. Internal wires cross. Anxiety hits. Panic sets in the heart. Dread. Fear.
But she asked for it, she’s a public figure.
At eight years old, she bravely stood before a microphone. By 17, she had sold 25 million records. Where were the sidewalk-skinned knees, the chalk stained hands, the monkey bars, the passed notes? A Disney set is not a childhood, no matter how many bright colors they use, or how cheerful the script.
Not a girl, barely even a woman yet, they chased her. A mob of stalkers for whom no stalking laws have been written. Smother. Crush. Flash. Photo Credit. Even Dr. “Get Real” Phil got in on the action. Unreal.
83 million albums sold so far. How many pictures?
The tunnel is crowded now. There are only inches of separation between vulnerability and disaster."




There is no reason why her parents shouldnt have her committed. They will regret deeply that they did not when she's dead.
Wow, Rosie really tried to impress us with the sentimental images of her "writing". BARF!!!!!! That was SOOOOO LAME. Instead of feeling sorry for Britney, I feel sorry for Rosie. She writes like a Jr. High girl. HAhahahahahahahahHAhHAhHAhAHhahhh.
Re: jc – It's refreshing to know that at least some people have some sense on this blog. Who the hell listens to Rosie anyway? She gives Lesbians a bad name, you can be a Lesbian and still be a Lady, she can take lessons from Ellen and Portia. But no, she'd rather use that as an excuse to look like a useless fat dyke bitch. And God forgive me for using the term its very unlike me, my niece is a lesbian and she's the most wonderful person in the world. I think thats just why Rosie pisses me off so bad.
Re: OBAMAGIRL – HEY YOU LOUSY BITCH…SHUT THE FUCK UP. If you're such an Obama girl, whay the fuck aren't you out there campaigning instead of making a total IDIOT of yourself here?
Re: heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – _________ since nobody responded,,,,,,,,,,, 33 male,,, artist, retail. & tile setter, political scientist & sociology studies…. have fun with that!!
I agree with her even if she's being annoying and heavy handed in her poem…lol…Brit will never have a normal life and the tabloids are killing her like vampires.
Just leave the girl alone, damn, stalked harrassed, humiliated and abused by the same people who used to love her. Peolple make mistakes.. Do you really think alll the stalking and photos are helping her state of mind. That's just it. No one really cares other than to call her names and rag on her. Get a life!
Make all the fun you want but there does come a point where enough is enough with all these photogs. She has absolutely no one that she can trust to turn to. Sha has no idea where to begn to fix this mess. This pap is only making things worse for her!
Rosie is doing the same thing that Adnan, Dr. Phil, and all the other whores are doing - capitalizing on Brit's insanity. Ro has been out of the limelight and is getting on the Brit train like everyone else. Brit loves the attention and would rather be in the midst of the paps than fixing her life. Shame on you Ro - hypocrite!!
That was really good. That Rosie is a writer.
Does Rosie think no one else knows all that? Now that's ego.
britney is no were near comparison to diana! diana was a great women who helped the needy. and was the peoples priness. what has britney done?! be a good dancer when she was 17? shes vein, she doesn't have a powerful moving voice, her looks aren't so special, she's disgusting and needs to cover her nasty ass hairless cooch, she is a papparazi whore, she can't take care of her kids, AND SHE'S A FUCKING PSYCOPATH! there is no comparison whatsoever
rosies a fucking idiot! GO ELLEN!
(although i wish the best to britney and gets the help she needs, and get those kids away from her)
I definitely get the analogy Rosie was making with how the stalkerazzi treat/treated both Britney and Diana. After Britney dies or is seriously injured in a car crash, they will turn to each other and blame her or her driver like they did with Diana.
wow. that's really well written and competly and utterly true.
Re: give me a break –
People like you (or perez… duh!!) are juste so stupid! How can you think she love it?!? She try to hide, but she had no place to go, don't u understand?!? Even if she goe's back to Louisianna like you said, paps gonna follow here…she is her job and they can do so much money … they gonna find a way to fuck her life even in space…
It's so sad, they are fucking out of control
For her to even think about comparing princess Diana and brittney crack whore spears, is unfucking believable.
What actual good has BS done for this world?
that gives me chills
damn this girl is deep
Wow! I'm not a fan of either Rosie or Britney but reading that gave me the goose bumps!
Perez if you hate Rosie so much, stop reading her blog. She's wonderful, she has compassion. Try and get some.
Waaaaaaaaaaa!!! I'm so famous.
whatever, i have no sympathy for her at this point. She has the means to make it stop but "chooses" not to. She "chooses" to go out EVERYDAY as herself to the gas station, to starbucks, aimless drives. With her means, she could easily go incognito or live in a pap-free place that would have all her needs. SHe craves the attention and that is her sickness.
that's the 1st time i've agreed with Rosie in a long time. Very well said.
Re: La Bella Cagueña – Your Welcome! I am tired of the poor Britney saga. She is sick and she is not going to make any rational common sense decisions, but she is NOT A CHILD. She is a sick ADULT who needs to be held accountable for her actions. Accountability from others will force her to accept changes made for her until she can think for herself as an ADULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo to anyone who says ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
Are people serious? Diana and Britney are the same? Can we quantify that by saying they will die the same way instead of stating it so generally? It's a huge insult to Diana's surviving family to compare her with common trailer trash. Britney getting into a paparazzi related car crash and dying would be the best thing that could happen right now. Then maybe we'd stop giving her all this undue attention. Fuck Britney.
well… that was fucking weird.
This is so true. Britney is crazy, but how much of it couldve been prevented the media would just give her some breathing room. I think that if we were all under such a close smothering eye, we'd crack too. SAVE BRITNEY!
There is nothing different between Perez hating upon Britney as many hate upon others such as gays, minorities etc. When does the hate stop?
The paparazzi did not chase Diana that night. She snuck out the back door and ditched them-EVERYONE KNOWS THAT. Henri Paul for whatever reason, drunk or a mercenary of death took The Princess to her grave. The paparazzi, were on their way home when they say an accident in the tunnel. They didn't know it was Diana until after Henri Paul crashed the car. The Paparazzi was found innocent of any charges of pursuit leading to her death. Rosie is speaking out of turn on this one. Rosie, she could have had a police escort in and outside the court building but she refused to cooperate with police. She is a drug-addict who couldn't face a judge and all drug addicts are master manipulators and she wants us all to think the was"scaaared by the paparazzi, those wascally wabbitts…" And, p.s. Rosie, Diana was a princess who doted on her children, let's never, ever, put Shitney in that league.
For the first time I agree with Rosie
so rosie is getting deep now. she suck, and that was ridiculously annoying.
Ok…the fact that I posted that they thought they were Diana and Dodi in response to a previous post BEFORE this one was posted scares me. I think like Rosie…..Oh My God, make it stop.
Re: jc – even i had to go to prison once,,,,,,,, BRITNEY GET INTO ACTING AS A SECOND CAREER, seriously & grow up!!!______~~~~ ~ this isn't the 90's_____ meth, and extacsy are out, get a life!!
I would buy the analogy if it could be proven that Diana called the paparazzi and told them her whereabouts. Most of this swarm would go away if she just stopped calling them.
IF BRITNEY IS COMPARED TO PRINCESS DI ONE MORE TIME I WILL SERIOUSLY VOMIT. FAME WHORING CELEB COMPARED TO A WORLD WIDE HUMANITARIAN? PLEASEEE. IT DISGUSTS ME THAT PEOPLE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER THEM ON THE SAME LEVEL. THE WORLD WITHOUT DIANA: A SADDER PLACE. A WORLD WITHOUT BRITNEY: SOCIETY WOULD GET OVER IT IN MINUTES.
Check out this 1999 interview with Britney and Rosie. Best quotes:
Rosie: "You seem like a level-headed girl and I hope that you stay that way and I think that you will."
:(
She isn't Diana. But they will kill her- just like Diana. Rosie is right. Britney has mental problems. All of you hating on her loved her once, yet will be the first fans when she comes back.. if she does. Grow a brain.
dear Ha Ha, and first, you realize it is a life we are talking about? no you will never read the 352nd comment. I hope Britney gets well, gives the world the finger and lives happily ever after.
Re: costamesaboy – What the fuck are you talking about? You are seriously stupid
That was so eriee. Rosie is really scarily correct. As a celebrity (like Britney) , she understands a lot more then 'normal' people can. She might be smiling for the cameras, but she really is a scared little girl. Rosie hit the nail on the head.
Princess Dianna= Selfless, classy, humanitarian and great mother.
Britney Spears= Trashy dirty, selfish, attention whore and terrible mother.
Rosie O'donnel is a fat lesbain, who want to have fat sex with Fatney.
Rosie is RIGHT! My god, let this woman live! You can't chase her if she's dead, you idiots. the pap is pathetic. they must not have children of their own. would they like to be bombarred every second of the day. They are putting britt's life in danger b/c she's trying to get away from them so she may live life! Money doesn't mean crap if you don't have family and the ability to live. leave brittany alone. stop putting attention on her so she gets the help she needs. if everyone would leave her alone, maybe she would help herself for once instead of being so exhausted to please everyone else & from being followed.
this makes me so sad…..
i really hope this doesn't happen to britney…gosh.
this is so deep.
i love rosie.
and britney.
ugh
Rosie is a fat retard! She is comparing selfish whore retard shittney to Diana who actually took care of her boys and loved them?
Shitthney is fucking a paparazzi and laughing her ass off in church after being so "scared". Scared my ass, she wanted an excuse to not to go court! She never has gotten her white trash whore ass in court on time ever! She is not a mother, she is a disgusting pig who is tired of her boys.
Funny she can fuck around in front of cameras, show off her cootch but suddenly she is afraid? I guess enduring the paps for rite aid and macys is more important than doing it for her babies.
Retard white trash Shitney could not make a pimple on
Diana's ass as a human being or mother. Diana risked her l ife in land mines for people. Shittney is a lazy selfish whore who hits and runs and doesn't care who she hurts.
STFU fat ass Rosie!
Get Over yourself Rosie. Britney asked for all the attention she gets. Did she need to shave her head? No? Why did she do it? FOR ATTENTION. Come on.
F*** off Rosie! This girl has issues that are not about the paparazzi. Seriously - if she was scared of them, she'd keep her sad ass at home more and maybe even parent her own children. A mom who doesn't want to be with her babies? A sad one
Yes of course there are many similarities between Britney and Dianna: Both have mental illnesses, both live to be photographed, both left their children to be taken care of by nannies (except for photo ops), both look stupid. The only exception is that Britney does not try to pass for a humanitarian and does not harass her in-laws. I much prefer Britney and I wish her good luck.
Umm oh yeah! Britney is just like Diana! Altrustic, a great mom! NOT NOT ! She tips off the paparazzi and gets afraid only for court appearances!
When Diana died it hurt so many because she was so giving. Britney would not be missed except by the men she fucks and the papaprazzi she loves ! She is a wastes of space, not like Diana
Rosie speaks the truth. I think she did a excellent job expressing her concern for Britney. She has often said she would love to help Britney out, let her come to her home. Rosie you have a heart of gold!!
Britney, I hope you get help before it's too late.
Rosie isn't comparing Brit and Dianna as people. She is comparing what is going on with Paps. The girl has some serious mental issues, and they are feeding off of it. It's really sad. Sure she's a celeb, but she's also a human being who needs help.
Come on, people. We are being played by Britney and the tabloids. She and they want lots of clicks and conversations and opinions on Britney. I'm done. Britney and the media are trolls. I'm not feeding the trolls anymore - no clicks, no comments - ZERO, NADA, ZIP, NOTHING. This sh_t is so boring, I'm outta here. You can all be chumps they need to keep this crap stirred up for THEIR BENEFIT. CIAO.
Yeah enduring the paparazzi to go to rite aid is right up there with visiting aids patients and land mines!
Diana dying was horrible, she was an amazing mom.
Britney is a white trash dirty whore with no talent or skills or care for anything but her used pussy.
Yeah enduring the paparazzi to go to rite aid is right up there with visiting aids patients and land mines!
Diana dying was horrible, she was an amazing mom.
Britney is a white trash dirty whore with no talent or skills or care for anything but her used pussy.
Wow two derranged girls, you are as trashy as Britney if you think that untalented, pointless whie tra sh slut who does NOTHING on earth and can't be alone with her kids because she endangers them is better than Diana.
She has a point. I mean, really…is an 8 year old mature enough to make the decision to become a public figure? An 8 year old can't cross the street alone for Christ sakes…but this one was permitted to make a choice that would affect her for the rest of her life.
hey, rosie, nobodi gives a shit. Plus, no one is forcing Brtiney to stay there, she can move! victim mentality
Re: Me –
You're the dummy. Britney wants the paparazzi to chase her, she loves it, it feeds her big ego, without it she would indeed want to end it all.
Diana was a victim, she didn't enjoy it, she didn't court it.
Think about what you say before you open your trap and type the shit you do
You need to stop publishing Britney's turmoil. You, Perez, posting her every move is showing how selfish you are just trying to mooch off of Britney's demise. I've been looking at your posts for a few weeks and i've come to realize you are just another disgusting media whore who doesn't care about anyone's well-being. Your supposed "facts" are mostly speculation from other assholes, and you are contributing to our societies' newfound fascination with this celebrity fantasyland.
hey Perez, I love you, but give Rosie a break. Go make fun of Tom or something will ya'?
WOW 4 ONCE I ACTUALLY AGREE WITH RO.
GIVE BRITNEY HER FUCKIN SPACE
I liked it. Its all fun to watch now, but in the end it could be a sad story they will talk about for years. I hope not. She is a human being after all, despite her faults. Its easy to forget that.
i normally do not like what comes out of rosie's mouth, but…wow most of what she said is very true(of course not the comparison to princess di)i thinkin order for her to get better, we all need to back off!!!
u guys are fucking stupid.. shes not saying shes like diana.. shes saying that she might end up like her because of the paparazzi attention.. u guys are idiots this has nothing to do with what they do just the attention they got and how they were both tragedies. and she sees this goes that way.. she's an amazing writer!
Does Rosie Really think Brittney can't stop all this drama??? suggestions:
1. STAY HOME
2. DON'T TELL THE MEDIA WHERE YOU WILL BE…SO THEY CAN TAKE YOUR PICTURE
3. DON'T HANG OUT WITH…PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE MEDIA
4. STOP PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE'S LIFE IN DANGER BY CREATING YOUR DRAMA
5. DON'T LISTEN TO ROSIE…TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF
….HOLLA
Re: d78e – very true!!
Unfiitney would freak out if she did not have her daily photo shoot. She is a freak loser. She lost her kids so she can play games driving in paparazzi heaven every night!
She would hate it if they stopped.l Then she might have to get off of her lazy white trash untalented ass and actually work like a singer for publicity. She can't even lip synch she is such a loser,
Who would miss her if she was gone? NO ONE.
Rosie makes a good point. Though Britney's level of saint-like behavior is in no way parallel to Diana's, the media's obsession with their lives is comparable. The media needs to lay off. Yes it may sell and it may be entertaining, but at this point, is the death of another person really worth the price someone will pay for that picture?
Re: Christina – Thank you! You said it ALL!
None of us know Britney. People may feel like it, because they see her in the trash rags and on trash entertainment tv shows every day. That doesn't mean you KNOW HER. So why doesn't everyone ELSE shut the fuck up, and stop "chiming in" on everybody else's lives?
What a concept. Then maybe, if you guys didn't eat that shit up, the paparazzi wouldn't chase Britney, and we wouldn't have to see her big face on tv every day… What a day that would be.
This was a heartfelt little 'essay', or whatever you want to call it. I like it. Everyone's all down on her now "GET HELP BRITNEY.." "SAVE BRITNEY" "BRITNEY, YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR KIDS…" and then when she does implode and either die in a car crash, of an overdose, or kills herself in some other way, everyone will be fucking crying around. "Oh, people should have given her a break." SHUT UP.
YUP!
Re: Tulip – what else are we supposed to watch during the writers strike? Aren't we always being played by some type of media outlet?
The most annoying thing about Rosie is she acts like she's going win a pulitzer prize for her writing ability. For God's sake woman you aren't Ernest Heminway or even Jackie Collins.
LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!
awe.. that was surprisingly nice of rosie! maybe she can help poor brit!
I think a large kudos should go to this post from rosie. I’m not, nor have ever been an enormous Britney fan. However I feel so sorry for this poor girl, who is obviously troubled, lost and under a the watchful eye of the whole world. Everyone is very quick to laugh, and point the figure at her and judge on exactly how crazy she is. But I’d like to see how anyone of all these people making fun of her would cope having helicopters swirling above your house, needing police assistance to get out of your car, being followed 24/7 by 50-60 people. Not being able to drive out of your front driveway because it is being barricaded by a human wall. All the while being told your ugly, bad skin, fat, you’ve lost it, you’re a bad mother, your crazy, your albumn is bad, your video clips stink. Its no wonder she has ended up in the condition she is in. Thrust into fame by a pushy stage mother, missing having real friends and people to support you. Britney spears needs as friend, and support. Not criticism and judgement. I think its sad that people fine such amusement from her troubles. I think its disgusting the treatment she receives, yes she brings it upon herself going out all the time. And doing wild things but she is NOT WELL, shes MENTALLY UNSTABLE. Of course shes not thinking straight. Give the poor girl a break.
you, perez hilton, are surely one of the guys who will cause her death. No conscience, no dignity, no mercy. I'll pray for you. paparazzi caused Diana's death, en will cause Britney's death. Leave her alone.
all brit has to do is MOVE out of LA!! If she lived in louisiana would paps follow
? NO!!! She does costume changes so paps can sell more pics! she goes in & out of a church for a photo op! she drives around just so paps can take her pic! most of which time she is laughing & being giggly. then every once in a while she says they "scare" her!? But only when its to her benefit! like when she has to go to a court hearing or do a deposition. never when she is having lunch or going to starbucks or getting gas. She doesnt haveto stay in the spotlight. There are more places to live than just LOS ANGELES! How dare Rosie compare this talentless skank, who would probably DIE without all this attention to Diana & all her philanthropy! Diana never did costume changes for the paps!
Now that I've heard what Rosie thinks, my life is complete.
#350 - r says – reply to this
Princess Dianna= Selfless, classy, humanitarian and great mother.
Britney Spears= Trashy dirty, selfish, attention whore and terrible mother.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!
Wow. That's some really bad writing.
I feel very sad for her. She is so confused. She just needs to pick up and leave LA for some time to get her act together. She should move back home with her mother and sister. Rosie could not have said it better.
I never thought I'd see the day when something intelligent came out of Rosie's mouth. Rosie's ramblings usually irritate me to no end, but I agree with her 100% on this!
Rose speaks true, sadly. Brittney is bringing about her own young demise.
I totally disagree with Rosie.
Britney Spears should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Princess Diana, there's no comparison. Britney chooses to live publicly. She acts purely from a place of desperation, needing to hold on to what little of the spotlight she has left. And it's turning on her fast, slipping out of her reach, and she is getting more and more out of control as her star power fades.
Desperate.
Britney runs this cat and mouse game with the paparazzi. There are hundreds of celebrities and famous people who are living their private lives away from the scene. They concentrate on their work and their families, friends, things that really matter.
Princess Di would really die for her kids. Britney would really buy cheetos and miss a court date for her kids…again and again and again. Princess Di helped AIDS victims. Britney helps herself, and can't even give decent respect to a retail person "Get the Fuck Away from me!" Princess Di had class. Brit, clearly doesn't. Princess Di was repulsed by the ppz. Brit pays off the ppz to keep her famous, but cries wolf when her ass is on the line (court). Princess Di is Princess Di. Britney is simply a trainwreck on a collision course with noone to blame but herself.
Much as I hate to admit it, Rosie is right!
Look at the facts:
Britney is now the most famous (and paparazzi hunted) woman in the world (Just like Diana Was)
Britney has 2 sons. (So did Diana, William and Harry)
Britney went through a very public and messy divorce drama (Just like Diana)
Britney finds comfort in the arms of a Muslim man, Adnan Ghalib. (Just as Diana did with Dodi Al Fayed)
Britney is mentally unstable. ( Many claim Diana was also)
The list of parallels go on and on. I hope the end result is not the same.
If Britney really wants to recover- she needs to get the fuck out of L.A.- that's for sure.
It is very sad. Terribly, terribly sad. I think people should just leave her alone. But on the other hand, she definately needs to get some help. I can only imagine how she must feel after losing her children. You guys can say all you want about her, but no matter what she has been up to recently, she is a person just like you and I and for her to lose those babies must be devistating.
ROSIE GETS IT!!!! LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!FUCK-YOU PEREZ
All is true! Rosie you said it! People need to stop sucking the life out of this girl!! She needs friends not stockers! She needs comfort not crowding! She needs time to do whatever she wants to do with out people breathing down her neck at any given second! Why is the paparazzi out at 2:30 in the morning anyways looking for her next move! Get it together! She is one person out of our entire world! There has got to be a way to help this girl!! OUR first step is to ignore the press and let her live her life like we live ours! Hang in there BRIT!
OMG So many lovers and so many haters; but at the end Im sure everybody seem to care for checking this website and see britney's moves.
Wow, this is something ive been wanting and trying to say for sooo long, she needs help yes but people need to leave her alone RLY how can it be entertaining to watch someone slowly grow to nothing, its ridiculous LEAVE HER ALONE!
Well said Rosie!
Re: r.g. – An intelligent comment. So rare.
I'm sorry, but to all those who think Rosie was comparing Britney with Princess Diana IN A VIRTUOUS WAY, you are all wrong and you are only reading what you want. Rosie was only likening their attention from the paps. Geesh!…Rosie just fears that what happened to Princess Di will also happen to Britney. And, like Perez, Rosie can write what she wants in her blog.
i can't imagine having paps chase me around all day! I thnk after a while it would drive any body crazy,fuck she can't even pray alone!!she's a prisoner in her own house because if she leaves they're after her. i feel bad for her!!
I knew Rosie was a loser but now it's been confirmed. Britney loves the attention. Britney once said that if you are not out there getting your picture taken and getting attention then people will forget about you. Well I truly wish everyone would forget about her and ROSIE.
I usually hate Rosie, but this is exactly how i feel about Britney…
Yes, Britney is a public figure. Yes, she loves the attention. Sadly, yes, she's sleeping with the enemy (literally). Regardless of all of this, she is so clouded mentally due to severe mental illness and substance abuse (which I believe is in a small part due to the non-stop paparazzi coverage) and I have no doubts that if something is not done soon Britney will be dead before years end. Honestly, I can't stand her anymore and I used to be a huge fan but when it all comes down to it, she's a shattered little girl who is desperately screaming out for help. I hope that people can pray for her, no matter what anyone's opinion of her is. She needs divine intervention at this point and it sickens and saddens me to think that she is headed for such an early and tragic demise.
Re: so tired of the cruelty… – I agree…I hadn't read this before I wrote my prior comment.
Despite what most people think about Rosie, what she has written is very moving. I agree with her and will continue to pray for Britney.
