Frankly, who cares? She's a pop "singer" for crying out loud. What obligation does she have to inform herself on this issue? She's also 19 years old. You know how many 19 year olds have a clearly defined position on this war? What the hell kind of response did this reporter think he/she would get? Smells like a set-up to embarrass her. From the responses on this thread I would say it was successful. All-in-all a complete non-event.

Agreed.

You nailed it. No doubt this reporter was praying she's speak out against the war - since in the media's mind that'd be a bigger story then the latest Rumsfeld press conference.

Wyatt: Well said. Thanks. And to all you other nay sayers: Ever since Britney opened her mouth about wanting "to stay a virgin and wanting to be a stay at home mom etc etc" every news person and entertainment person elite have all of the suddenly decided to say bad things about her when previously they said how great she is. Just read HER book (i'm sure some of those media jerks have)--not some stupid quotes from the usually spiteful media or tabloids when they decide they don't want someone in their click. Don't criticize the poor girl if you are not going to really learn anything about her and what SHE says rather than what those stupid media jerks (whom I have never liked) want to say about her. I have read her biography and letters she says. The girl is just plain down to earth kid who was raised with decent values (quite frankly I have yet to learn why tmedia types have such a hatred to any values). I also do not think this an issue of class envy. If it were why don't they shoot down Streisand, Oprah, or Steven Speilberg? Truth be told I think it's because some stars probably aren't donating enough to certain causes. Oh my Britney does not tip waitresses for bad service. Shame on her (yeah right). The following is a part of a letter written by Britney on her official site: ... There is so much turmoil in our country right now and I feel compelled to tell you how I feel. Maybe it will help you with trying to understand the craziness of it all. My brother Bryan lives in New York in lower Manhattan. I heard about the crisis after leaving New York and landing in Los Angeles. I was terrified for my brother and everyone else. I didn't want to continue to Australia but we did. A twenty-two hour flight allows you to do a lot of praying and thinking. I calmed my fears by deciding that I live in the best county in the world. President Bush is a fine leader. The American people should support his decisions. It was a horrific action against the USA by a heartless group of people. I stay in prayer for the victims, our wonderful county and our leaders. I am donating my time and money for relief for the families of the victims. My hope is that you will also do what you can to help out. Love, Britney
