Brit has bipolar disorder?

That's what people have been saying for a long time, but never as emphatically as this past week, when things spiraled completely out of control for the former pop star. I feel sorry for her, but it isn't easy. She taxes the mind and spirit of the most sympathetic blogger. Thanks to Susan S. for sending me the latest Brit posts from TMZ.com. This morning I found something on MSNBC.com, which is supposedly more reputable. Hah.

It's been reported that Brittany is taking antidepressants. I would imagine that the antidepressants combined with the reprehensible actions of KFED, the custody dispute, the cruel reviews of her post child birth body, and her ludicrous treatment by the press are causing any behavior that is now getting labeled bipolar. It looks like she's not accepting the label which is commendable.

Thanks for the work-unfriendly photo of Brit's hoo-hoo. Was that really journalistically necessary?

Hey, where'd the good picture go? : )

Here's an interesting little piece about Brittany and Dr. Phil:
