I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it’s not easy. I always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day - but when fame is handed to you, it is unique.
It’s not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself - and unless you’ve got good people around to support you, you’ve got a problem.
Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn’t that young any more. I think she will still come back but it’s like she’s taken an extended holiday.
Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it.

Eva Longoria recalls being the dark, 'ugly' sister when she was growing up:
I was the darkest one of my family. I was the only one with black hair and the only one with dark skin. All my sisters were light blondes with hazel eyes. They used to call me ugly duckling. I grew up without being beautiful so I kind of relied on my personality and my character. I kind of developed a skill not to depend on anything superficial because I didn't have anything superficial to depend on. (Via Hollyscoop.)
Wyclef Jean says his mentally-unraveling ex-bandmate needs some psychiatric help pronto. Here's what Wyclef had to say about Lauryn Hill:
Half of your face has red make-up, the other half green, and your hair is barely combed. How you gonna let people see you like that? Someone is pimping Lauryn right now. A true friend would say, 'You have to check yourself into a psychiatrist.' (Quote source: Giant Magazine)
Tax-evading actor Wesley Snipes says 'the Good Lord' will keep him out of prison. Here's what wishful Wesley had to say:
"Of course you would be nervous...You're on trial. Anybody would have a certain amount of anxiety about that. But I have a great deal of faith in the Most High and the Good Lord and the truth shall set you free. So, I'm looking forward to being free..." (Source: People.com)
"We can tell each other when we can't stand each other. I can run and grab him and go, 'I love you so much' and then I could tell him he's driving me crazy!" (Source)
I just don't have an interest in any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate...Id rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just dont have any desire...Ive just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad? ( Quote source: New York Magazine.)
British singer Joss Stone responds to the UK critics who have slammed her for speaking with an American accent:
At the end of the day, I don't give a f--- if people have a problem with my accent. That's all I can say about it. The words I say do not change. If the way that it sounds is skew-whiff and you don't like it, don't listen. I'm not being a cruel person by sounding a different way. I made my album with a bunch of Americans. When people go to Australia for two weeks they come back sounding Australian - but the whole world doesn't turn round and say, 'Well, f--- you.' Which is basically what England had done. Obviously not everybody in England. But the big press people. They were just like, 'You know what? We've decided we don't like you anymore.'

Former Miss USA/ failed actress/rock star wife/ reality TV star/Paris Hilton rival Shanna Moakler complains:
"Never in all my life did I ever think having a confrontation with a whore in a club or the complete heartbreaking ups and downs of my marriage which sadly have to play out in front on the public, would take center stage from what it is I actually LOVE doing...It makes me f------g sick and sad..... that the reality is having a sex tape and letting men p-ss on you, getting dui's , flashing your crotch and going to jail is apparently today, the image young men and woman strive for to get their foot in the door... thats not talent and it sure doesn't deserve fame. I mean thats the message i see everyday in my TV, in my papers, on my radios... dont want to be known for any of this!! ill keep my small time reality show and my dignity and keep it moving! my marriage is just not up for entertainment anymore.
