Maybe this settlement is just a drop in the bucket for her… I don’t know. She must make an unfathomable amount of money. I agree he should get something so that the kids can live at the standard they were living before– especially if he has the majority of custody (but honestly, is K-Fed gonna really do anything with his kids other than just hire a nanny for $8/hour to raise them?).
I agree Brit is getting kinda fucked in that settlement. In my opinion, K-Fed– who left his pregnant wife to be with Britney– is one of the most talentless, gold-digging pieces of shit on the planet, and its sickening to reward him like this for being nothing but a piece of shit.
However, part of this lies on Britney. Any celebrity– particularly one at her level– needs to make better decisions because they aren’t like everyone else. In the same way that pro athletes need to watch for gold digging women who will sleep with them and claim rape, or get pregnant just to get some money and fame out of them– Britney needed to be more careful with who she let into her life. I mean after all… she’s in her mid twenties and she’s already been married TWICE– the first on a whim in Vegas. I mean the girl is just clueless about the real world, and when people are rich and clueless, they’re bound to be taken advantage of. Hopefully, she’ll pay the price on this one and make a better decision in the future. I mostly feel sorry for those kids though.

just remember bro, that $ is buying her the rights to the “f” trophies, fulll custody, and that tell all book from coming out, you know contractual law, its not like a line item veto! all requirements must be fulfilled by both to complete the contract unless duress is involved, even if the terms seem lopsided or unfair, and yes christine, that dough is a drop in the bucket to that over paid chubby piece of glorified white trash, talk about embarassing an entire gender!? what a pig… god bless her for that! 
Christine the Lioness said this
I feel for Britney. She actually has talent, she worked hard to get where she got, and she seemed to have it pretty much together (beautiful, successful, smart with how she merchandised her name, etc) until K-Fed dropped into her life like a giant steaming turd. That’s when things went downhill quick, starting with their “reality” show.
I think it’s just a rough time for her right now, and she’ll get it back together eventually. Now, K-Fed… he can’t possibly get it together because he didn’t have anything to begin with. The embarrassment of a marriage he had with Britney will be the best thing that ever happens to that loser.
Mara the Peacemaker uttered
Well I wouldn’t go so far as to call Britney talented…at least not in singing or dancing. Maybe she has others of which I am not aware. But as far as her settlement, I’m sure she has the cash to pay it. This doesn’t sound like bad negotiating on her part since she also has the dough to retain a top-notch family attorney. It sounds like perhaps she just wanted this phase of her life over and looking at the fool she’s married to…well, I can understand.
Christopher the Pyro remarked
I agree.. I never really thought she had any talent she had some good handlers that made sure she had sex appeal…. additionally her star was going to shoot eventually anyway it’s just the way it is.. and I’m not sure Kevin had all that much to do with her downfall considering after she left him she then became an addict and lush.

In most states, child support is a set formula based on how much each parent makes, with the idea being to make sure that each kid still gets x% of the parents combined income spent on them so that just because mom and dad couldn’t hold it together doesn’t mean that the kids should be out of the money that would have been spent on them.
It gets a little ridiculous in high income cases, but on the other hand, I think those kids are going to need that money in child support because someone is going to have to pay for all the therapy they will need having those 2 as parents!
eric the Lil' Devil remarked
mara i agree the girl has no talent dancing or singing, for christ sake, she has no coordination! she almost dropped her f’ in kid! , showed that wrecked piece of chipped ham she calls her vag, gained 40 pounds and kept it due to excessive partying, and lets not forget when they showed that video catching her going down on k-fed on a hotel balcony, nothing was shown except her disappearing at his crotch but she’s a pig, it wasn’t hard to figure out 
ofcourse, you all realize… i would still bang her 
Jen the Groupie pontificated
Haven’t we discussed adding to “the list”… I’m pretty sure Britney wasn’t an original…thats it, then stunt doubles qualify.

Christopher the Pyro mentioned
At least your generous enough to give him a list.. (god you guys have no idea how much shit I’m going to snag for this comment).
Christine the Lioness mentioned
Ahhh… the famed list thing again. Sorry ya’all… I believe that monogamous relationships should be… well… monogamous. Cheating is cheating whether it’s with Brad Pitt or the hot guy that keeps checking you out at the gym (although my monogamy with Christopher doesn’t seem to preclude me from him yelling “Who else are you fucking???!!!” when he’s mad at me (what’s that saying about if you’re gonna be accused of doing something… you have nothing to lose in doing it??? Something like that… )
Back to Britney. It’s funny how critical are of celebrities. The girl was a good singer and good dancer (better than anyone I know personally) and at one time, she had terrific sex appeal and a great body. Just because her publicists were able to take her to a whole other level with marketing doesn’t mean she didn’t have talent to begin with.
And yes, her kids will probably need therapy, but who doesn’t, right?

Milli Vanilli was huge also.
Marketing makes the people.. not the other way around.
Christine the Lioness commented
Good point. But some people are talented without the marketing. I think there are more of those than fakes like Milli Vanilli who relied totally on marketing.
I don’t think Britney is anything amazing… but I think the bigger a celeb gets, the more critical people tend to be. It’s in human nature for some reason to want to see the top notch fall. The same thing happens in sports it seems.
Christopher the Pyro remarked
A musicians popularity is however very much controlled by outside sources.. some of the best musicians in the world don’t get huge… while people with little talent luck out and get played on the radio because their record company can push music around because of the money they spend on marketing.
That simply isn’t the case in sports.. you can either excel or you won’t be around very long.
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
No, no… that’s not what I meant. When I mentioned sports figures, I was talking about how the world likes to see the ones in the top position fall and seem to be extra critical of (for example… when Keith said that Vince Young would flop. To suggest that someone as good as VY would be sure to fail isn’t really based on anything other than… well, I’m not sure what. The guy was one of the best football players in the country and pretty much proved it in everyone’s eyes. So even though athletes do prove themselves, there will always be people who are just ultra-critical of them.)
And yes, a musician’s popularity is very much controlled by outside sources– more than an athlete, or novelist, or anyone else who ends up being an “entertainment” person. Actors are the same as musicians… many of them just get famous (or end up getting roles) because they have famous parents or their fiance is a producer, etc.
Mara the Peacemaker added
I think that people tend to be very critical of celebs but I don’t think it’s ALWAYS about a desire to see the mighty fall (although I will agree that is part of it). Sometimes people just call it like they see it. I think the bigger you are, the more exposed you become and the more vulnerable you are to criticism whether it’s rightly (is this even a word?) or wrongly deserved. Overexposure can work for you or against you. It can help you reach masses of people you otherwise wouldn’t but it can also reveal that you have very little talent to begin with. That was and is the case with Britney. She was never a talented singer or dancer. I sing better than Britney (and I do actually sing) and I don’t profess to be a professional.
What made Britney popular and successful was her sex appeal, her body, her age and timing. She had a great publicist and marketing team, not talent. Now, there’s nothing wrong with making your money or selling records based on those things. If people want to buy your CD because you have a great ass, so be it. Who I am to get in the way of that? But don’t mistake selling sex on stage to having actual talent in the singing department.

Let’s see… Kayfe’head has done what eleventy’gabillion women have done throughout history… Congrat’s to him on growing his new vagina… Fu(k them both…
Christine the Lioness hunt n' pecked this
Wow… Trouble’s having an angry day???
Christine the Lioness asserted
Mara… I don’t totally disagree. But considering that Britney got her start as a child on Star Search, she apparently had enough talent without a team of publicists to get noticed. And hopefully, at age 7, no one was wanting to see her on stage because of her great ass.
Trouble the Pirate asserted
You know I’m damaged goods Christine… 
Christine the Lioness asserted
Is that your excuse, darlin’?
Mara the Peacemaker thought this
I doubt publicists saw genuine talent and would guess they saw someone who could be manufactured into a product and sold. Again, nothing wrong with that if people are willing to pay the money to see the show. But I don’t understand how anyone on earth could listen to her voice and think that she could actually sing. Or dance. I think of people like Janet Jackson (who can’t sing but she’s got the moves) and there’s just no comparison.
Or perhaps I have really high standards. Based on the crap that is produced daily, I just don’t think many people are required to possess even a smidgen of talent to get a record deal.

It’s fact… I don’t make excuses [… I’m THAT cool…]

LOL, Trouble. You and Christopher really were cut from the same cloth. It’s tantalizing and creepy all at once.
I think I am in the minority in defending Britney’s talent. I shall concede. But I will say… she’s better than a lot of publicist-invented pop artists out there. Oops I did it again.

Christine the Lioness remarked
Leave it to a man to blame a woman for something he screwed up when he added the smilies in the first place. Double star for you, honey.
