We're starting to feel kind of sorry for Britney. Actually, we've always felt sorry for her, but at least it was funny before. Now it's just plain sad. And yes, we know that we jumped on the haters bandwagon too, but in our defense, we didn't make a single jab about her body, unlike pretty much every other publication and news program in the country. In fact, we thought her bod looked totally hot, very sixties Bond girl, and shame on us for not mentioning that before.

The latest in this car-wreck is that K-Fed, via Brit's ex-bodyguard, is accusing her of endangering the kids with "nudity, drug use and safety issues post-rehab." While we're sure glad that Britney's not our mommy, we don't understand what the big deal is about the nudity. In fact, we think that a mother who obsessively hid her nudity from her kids and made it seem like her body was a shameful/bad/naughty thing to witness would be just as likely to mess with her kids' heads as one who did household chores in her birthday suit.

And we're kind of confused why the "experts" rushing to Britney's defense seem to think it's okay only up to age two. We know plenty of people (including one half of yours truly) who grew up witnessing their parents naked all the way through high school, and not a single one of them has turned out like, well, like Britney. But at least Britney still has a friend in Justin, who yesterday told Oprah, "I don't know her as well as I once did, but what I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a great person."(We'd link to the video, but the Oprah Mafia had all the links to it removed in the time since we saw it.) Actually, make that two friends.
