now it's your turn to cry

I'm finally watching that Britney Spears special (um, it's my job) and I don't think I'm having the right reaction. First of all, I'm totally angry that they -- who are "they"? I don't know, but they're getting paid a fortune! -- let her go on TV looking like that. Her weave is a mess, she's got false eyelashes melting off and a see-through shirt on. Plus the gum. This would be acceptable and expected if she weren't a billionaire who is paying people a ton of money to manage her career. And then I'm feeling sad for her. Can't they just leave her in peace with her family, happy or miserable or whatever? Oh, I'm such a sap.
