After fifty years in showbusiness, Bette Midler probably felt that she had seen and done it all.
Until, that is, she was confronted with the brazenly obscene antics of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.
So, in a scathing, no holds barred attack, the 61-year-old actress has branded the pair 'wild and woolly sluts'.
The singer turned Oscar-nominated actress hit out at the duo who have been repeatedly photographed enjoying a string of wild nights out - missing their underwear.
'I've been on the other side to these wild and woolly sluts that we are seeing around our lives these days and I've taken the other side,' she said.
'I started my life out as pretty wild but I have decided, after much growing and living, that it's time that we got nicer.'
Talking about the pair's headline-grabbing decision to be snapped minus any underwear, she joked: 'I'm wearing underwear, in fact a lot of underwear.
'In fact I'm wearing all the underwear that those girls are not wearing - at least two bras and several pairs of panties.'
When asked on the US TV show Extra if she had a message for the American socialites, she replied: 'Get a life, get a grip. I mean someone should sit those ladies down.'
Her tirade comes after Miss Spears, 25, and 20-year-old Miss Lohan, together with heiress Paris Hilton, have been photographed drinking and partying virtually non-stop over the past six weeks.
Their antics followed Britney's announcement last month that she was divorcing her second husband, Kevin Federline.
Of course, Miss Midler, who is married to her husband of 22 years, producer Martin von Haselberg, is not the first celebrity to have frowned on mother-of-two Miss Spears' recent behaviour.
Troubled singer Courtney Love suggested that she should stay at home more to look after her children while former supermodel Janice Dickinson claimed that Britney's would be wise to 'buckle down and become a parent'.
This latest criticism comes just 24 hours after it was reported that the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services planned to investigate the singer about concerns over the welfare of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Similarly, it has been an unfortunate week for Mean Girls star, Lindsay Lohan. The brunette actress, who recently joined Alcoholics Anonymous, has reportedly sent a second rambling, semi-literate e-mail to her friends - less than two weeks after making an incoherent tribute to late director Robert Altman.
In a letter obtained by the New York Post, she claimed that she planned to take on gossip columns with the help of former Vice President Al Gore.
'Al Gore will help me,' she wrote. 'He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me.
'If he is willing to help me, let's find out. Hilary (sic) Clinton, Bill Clinton and Evan Metroplis (sic) and John Daur who works with them would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK.'

Ping!

Apparently, she has not seen the picture.
It's amazing what being a parent did to Bette Midler. I've read other stuff from her like this, too, a few years ago.
'If he is willing to help me, let's find out. Hilary (sic) Clinton, Bill Clinton and Evan Metroplis (sic) and John Daur who works with them would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK.'
I do think the girl is channeling TLBSHOW.
If Midler thinks Spears is "woolly," she hasn't seen the pictures.
'Al Gore will help me,' she wrote. 'He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me.
Ah yes, Lindsey, that would be "intercourse".
As for Hilton, who cares.
For somebody like Bette Midler, who's career began and flourished back when it took considerable talent and a whole lot of honest work to really "make it big", it must be especially galling.
That some little tart that isn't even 20 and doesn't have a fraction of the ~ability~ can still be a "star"... that's gotta burn, if even a little.
Pictures? Where?
Bette Midler was pretty wild when she was younger.
But, she never came close to being as slutty as Britney and Lindsay.
Bette is actually entertaining, and has talent...........and she fancies underwear.
I've always admired that about her. ;o)
She's still a Bush-bashing moonbat.
"Troubled singer Courtney Love suggested that she should stay at home more to look after her children..."
Man, if you're not even living up to Courtney Love's standards..... =:O
"I do think the girl is channeling TLBSHOW."
ROTFLOL!
Too funny. ;o)
The thing is Frances, Courtney and Kurt's kid has grown up to be pretty normal despite her parents.
Glad to hear it! And people have been so worried about how Mary Cheney's baby will turn out....!
And yet this has been the number one story on all of the networks and internet news sites day after day after day. Meanwhile, the press can't find time to cover a Medal of Honor winner from the Iraqi war.
The culture is seriously damaged, and until somehow we can get a change in direction, I am really despondent about this country.
Society makes tens of millions of ladies' undies for sale on shelves and racks nationwide every day ~ you could almost drown in them at Wal-Mart right at the main aisle off the front entrance.
Not only are there millions of these items around, readily accessed by all and sundry, they are DIRT CHEAP~~~~
If Britney, Lindsay and Paris are too stupid to find their own dam*ed underwear, it's not my fault, nor that of my neighbors.
Ugh - Hillary Clinton going commando in solidarity with her Hollywood pals.
