Spears forgets to take birth control
Filed under: Just For Moms, Celeb Parents, Rumors, Behaving Badly
When you think about the mess that is Britney Spear's life, it is hard to imagine things could get worse. But, as my grandma used to say, things can always get worse. Say, for example, Britney was to find herself pregnant again. According to a "friend", that idea isn't as far-fetched as you might hope.Spears reportedly suffered a miscarriage earlier this year and still hasn't got it together when it comes to her birth control pills. "She's constantly forgetting where she put them. She seems to find it amusing - she laughs at how scattered she is," a source tells Life&Style.
Of course, an injectable birth control like Depo Provera might be a better choice for a forgetful girl, but the source says she quit taking those in an effort to lose weight. Plus, she is reportedly on Provigil, a prescription stimulant used to treat the sleepiness caused by various sleep disorders that can lessen the effectiveness of birth control pills.
The friend goes on to say because Spears isn't in a relationship and her sexual encounters are of the casual variety, she seems to think that she can't get pregnant. Spears hasn't shown herself to be the sharpest crayon in the box, but I don't think she's that misinformed. Based on her behavior of late, I think she just doesn't care about the consequences of her actions.

Anji said...ARGH!
Please, ENOUGH! I am SO fed up with knowing what Britney Spears is up to. Honestly, we *don't* need to know that she's wearing odd socks, or that she blew her nose into a baby wipe. It DOESN'T MATTER!
Leave the poor girl alone and go back to the intelligent, thoughtful reporting that I USED to enjoy from ParentDish.

kate said...Right on, Anji!!! First of all WHO'S BUSINESS IS IT IF SHE TAKES HER BIRTH CONTROL OR NOT??? What's next, what brand of femine hygene products she uses (or doesn't)???
a) we're bored silly with Britney
b) It's none of our/your business and
c) maybe if people would leave her alone for five minutes, she'd straighten herself out and be a decent parent.
Remember the saying "Is it kind? Is it true? Is it helpful?" If you can't say yes to all three, don't repeat it.
ENOUGH.

Gabi said...I tend to like celebrity information about important stuff, but this is a little too far. Several 'average' people forget to take birth control on a daily basis. Why should only Britney get flamed for it?

Nadine said...Britney is a celebrity that SOME little girls look up to. Parents must tell their daughters that this behavior is not cool. This woman needs help and I hope she gets it soon. Now, if you want to report on good celebrity moms, pick Julieanne Moore or Julia Roberts. Just mention that bad behavior like don't caring about oneself and their children should not be repeated. Don't follow a celebrity's bad parenting skills when you have children on your own.

sorrow1501 said...While I am tired of all of this celebrity trashing/gossip, I just cannot get enough of it, especially with this whole Brittany Spears ordeal. I would much rather read about the mess her life has become than have to sit through another Paris in-and-out of jail ordeal.
I really hope this girl doesnt have another kid. At this point, it seems like a way for guys to get rich off of her! Just get her pregnant, and then win custody of the kids.

Annie33113 said...OMG can we stop hearing about this washed up hag already? Why does the media INSIST on chasing this ugly ho.
Cram a couple months BC pills down her throat, stick her w/ a hypo of Depo, and shove an IUD up her nasty a** (which by the way EVERYONE on the face of the earth has unfortunately seen thanks to her). Repeat each and every month as long as she lives.
This stupid little GIRL can remember a trip to get her nasty lips pumped but can't remember to be responsible, not drive drunk, take responsibility for your actions (children and parked cars), take your BC pills, not marry garbage, etc.) ???
She will end up right back down f/ whence she came (no not in someone's crotch, but in her home state) penniless, and with her Mama.

scoobyfanatic24 said...Maybe just maybe it's the white trash in her. She had it so nicely disguised for such a long time, but people can only pretend to be what they are not for so long. And then the real you surfaces. Maybe she really is just dirty white trash, but with money.

koibito31 said...Oh please, no. No more Britney Spears. Aren't there any other interesting things happening in the world right now that we have to focus on this trainwreck called Britney? Please, lay it to rest. I'm fed up! Plus, don't you think Britney deserves some privacy so she can get her s*it together? I think she does and we need not to know anymore stuff about the has-been. It's enough. Come on. Oh, and doesn't the tabloids have anything else to report? Please...

Kat Nelson said...Oh, puhleeeeezzeee, NO MORE BRITNEY STUPID stories.
She has so worn out her welcome in the media that it is exhausting to just see her face in a photo of a new episode of her dysfunctionality and self destruction.

jatakiki30 said...I can't believe this is what our young children have to look up to. It would be absolutely amazing to hear that one of these "IDOLS" did something good. They are trashy and have absolutely no morals and we are throwing it at our children every day that if you want recognition this is how you should act. I think its time AMERICA grows up and starts taking responsiblity for what we have become and stop this trash

judecase said...Forgetting her bc pills and getting pregnant is the least of the problem with unprotected casual sex. SID,s and HIV come to mind. Condoms...buy some condoms and make him use them. It is a shame what a shambles she has let her life become. For her sake and her sons hope she can get straight sometime.
