Britney Spears thinks she hit rock bottom in rehab!

[Just Kill Me]

WHAT?!?!?! How did people make more of the situation than it was? She went batshit crazy and shaved her head in public.

[Brando]

She doesn't want to place blame, but then blames her manager and friends/family.

She doesn't want to play victim, but is asking for sympathy.

She says she will be "making mistakes everyday", be prepared for more publicity stunts that will end up on CNN and GMA

Britney is a clever girl...very calculating. Her actions will speak louder than her words...

Here's the full message for anyone who can be bothered to read it

Dear Fans,
I just wanted to reach out to all of you and explain some of the things that I have been faced with recently.
It’s so funny how many stories are put out there about people. It’s like we all want our side of the story out there as well, but at the end of the day only a few people care to hear what is really going on since the bad is always so much more interesting than the truth. I don’t know why, but this is so weird to me. I used to be angry at the tabloids for printing horrible things about me, but now I try to just be numb to what I see. I saw Tyra Banks once get really upset and cry on her show because they made her look fat. We all want a certain image of ourselves out there, and at some point we all do really care what other people think or we wouldn’t be here.

Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don’t think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD. I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce. I was so overwhelmed I think that I was in a little shock too. I didn’t know who to go to. I realized how much energy and love I had put into my past relationship when it was gone because I genuinely did not know what to do with myself, and it made me so sad. I confess, I was so lost.

This letter is to not place blame on anyone, although I do see the world with a completely different set of eyes now. Being in that vulnerable state and taken to dinners and parties with friends and finding out later you paid for everything was a huge learning lesson for me. I think the whole problem was letting too many people into my life. You never know another persons intentions or what another person wants. I feel I was too open and looking for answers when I had it all to begin with. I have had to cut so many people out of my life. It is so sad, because if anyone is a family person…it is me. When I was little I remember every night watching movies with my family and feeling so at peace. Dancing and singing all the time just like a little girl should. Now recently I find with my children that I want them to have that feeling all of the time. I am having to face a lot of things right now since I have children of my own. A lot of insecurities from when I was little are coming up again. It is like we are never good enough.

I know everyone thinks that I am playing the victim, but I am not and I hate what is going on right now so much. Maybe this is the reason for this letter…to maybe allow people to look at me differently. It is like when you are a real woman and say what you feel and how you think things are supposed to be, that people just say you are a “bit&h.”

I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me. I think it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a huge divorce. I think it was a bigger issue because I had not gone out in such a long time. I am 25 and I do still have a lot to learn, and I am going to make mistakes everyday, and I am sure every mistake I make will probably be on CNN or Good Morning America. I am only human people and I love you for still loving me.

I am sitting here at home and it is 6:25 and both of my sons are asleep. I am truly blessed to have them in my life. Everyday is so surreal. Life in general is so surreal and crazy.

I just hope this letter made some of you think a little bit more of me and where I am coming from. I just want the same things in life that you want…and that is to be happy. It is just so weird because everyone has their own perception of me and how they think I really am. It is so weird how stories are told. There is your side, my side, and the truth. Somebody has to figure it out. I guess we will never really understand or figure out life completely. That’s God’s job. I can’t wait to meet him…or her.

Love, Britney

I LOVE this line - "I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties , so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me"

She's trying to sound smart but she just comes off dumb!

[lisalucy69]

I think it seems like the right thing to say for her. i think it's bullshit and i don't buy it, but its very PR to say. I also think it's shitty of her to say she's not blaming anyone...and then go on to blame just about everyone but herself. i also don't buy that she was home spending quality mommy time with her babies. She's lying trash.

Of course she doesn't mention 'drugs'.
With these celebrities its always depression and alcohol.

[yummyboo]

This is all PR. With paris, lohan, nicole, and now Michia (sp?) crashing and burning, this is an attempt to pretend she is taking responsiblity for her life and remove her name from the list of talentless, clubbing, media-whores. What she doesn't realize is that this attempt is transparent.

And what really ticks me off is she using her kids as props in charade. It is like she is reading the gossip pages for career tips on how to make a comeback. When people started to talk about her not taking care of her kids...all of a sudden, she's toting them around like she is 'mother of the year'. what is wrong with this picture?

I think someone with an education beyond 9th grade wrote this. Which rules out Britney. Probably her cousin Allie's feeble attempt at making her sound sane and halfway likeable/sympathetic.

*Note to Allie* She's a lost cause, just ask her professional publicist. Just collect your check for your assistant/nanny services, enjoy the perks of being associated with a famous trainwreck and move on. Nobody can help this self-centered jerk until she helps herself. If ever.

But it is twisted..... (& probably passive agressive? if I've got it right?)

Manipulative would of been a good word too.

Justin said this about her in a GQ interview in July 2006:

I don't think you can ever count somebody like her out. Because she may appear one way, but she's very clever.

[Beeyotch]

Sorry, but the word "Clever" might as well be an antonym to "Britney Spears"

[olivia720]

I thought rock bottom was losing all your money, friends and family and lying face down in a gutter with no one around to help you up.

Hmmm. So I guess she doesn't really get the term "rock bottom".
