Normally I would never agree with Simon but he hit the nail on this one. They are spoiled little idiots with too much money and not enough common sense.

Simon Cowell thinks Britney Spears needs to get off her high horse.
The acerbic American Idol judge is dismissing the pop star's recent meltdown, writing off her rehab stint as a trendy indulgence.
"It's very fashionable to be in rehab," Cowell, 47, told the London Mirror via MSNBC's The Scoop. He also spoke out against British singer Robbie Williams, who is currently in rehab battling an addiction to anti-depressants.
"This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip. We've allowed these people to feel sorry for themselves. I don't know what's going on in Britney's head but my attitude is I couldn't care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six months."
The acerbic Idol judge suggested that the pair speNd time in impoverished nations to gain a little perspective.
"I went to a deprived part of the world recently and saw a set of conditions that people live in that are beyond belief," says Cowell.
"So when I hear about the Robbies and the Britneys going into rehab I think, 'I'll tell you what rehab is. Go to where I just went, where people really are suffering and then you'll see just how good your life is.'"
Actually, Simon may be on to something here. With the recent extension of the Idol brand into summer camps and amateur internet pornography, a rehab facility is the natural next step.
In "Cowell-hab," patients could stand before a panel of tough love counselors until their petty alcohol and heroin problems are solved by cheap shots about their tone deafness or Simian appearance, and jungle cruise field trips to Third World countries.
Get Charlie Sheen and Robert Downey Jr. on board as the program's resident "healers," have a rotating celeb-rehabber appear as a guest judge each week (lord knows, you'd never lack for talent) and you've got yourself a spinoff.
Go Simon!!! So very true. So sick of hearing about Britney...she has all the money & opportunity in the world to do something positive with her life and to enrich the lives of others - - - instead she acts like an overindulgent, spoiled brat. Grow up b*tch! Nobody told her to start having babies at such an early age - people like her should not be procreating to begin with.
BRITNEY SUCKS!
Is this really important, who is Britney Spears? Do people care so much about these over-compensated spoiled personality because this can't be what makes headlines. While I agree with Simon on some points as it seems Rehab has really become a Fashion statement and her career has been in the slumps for a while now. I feel that most of this is publicity at it's best. I mean is shaving off one's hair really "crazy or out there!" I don't believe she is crazy, sick or otherwise but if you notice since she did this, it's got everyone talking. With respect to US Weekly along with other tabloids, I understand the need for entertainment to a degree however, it makes me sad that every magazine is focused on these ridiculous "teen icons" and not putting the wars in Iraq and Afghanastan on EVERY magazine cover as a continued story. Our soliders are fighting a war for us and the support has slacked off tremendously. This should be the most important story covered and not just for a few months, until are troops come home. Our soliders are dying and coming home with missing limbs, mental problems etc. Britney, Paris, Nicole, Lindsay to name a few think they have problems, try strapping up your boots and head off to a war that has no end at present for a few months and then tell me about your problems!!! In the job I do, I've received so many letters from soliders whom seem to think America has forgotten them and wonder what in the world is "NEWS" and more importantly so, "IMPORTANT NEWS".
in simon's defense (did I really just write/think that???) I think what he meant was that people who have so much end up doing horrible things to their bodies for whatever reason when they should be thankful/grateful/happy and not do those things. I do agree that perhaps volunteering for those less fortunate can be a kind of healing therapy and a real eye opener for what you do have. HOWEVER with that said, I truly do believe at this point that britney is very ill, VERY ill, and does need the psychiatric treatment in a controlled environment. she used to disgust me with her antics, but now I feel nothing but pity for her and hope that she is able to overcome whatever demons she is battling. it's got to be hard to fight such a private thing in such a public environment, and I feel like at this time, the paps should just pull back and give her time to heal. it's not something to mock and it should not be something someone profits from.
go away!
To the last two foolish imbecile Britney fans who think she will come back, keep dreaming s**tballs!
You two are trapped in 1999 and 2000, she burned her bridges from overexposure.
We hate to burst your bubble 10:58 PM Anonymous but she will NOT be back. Her career will be worse than ever before. Typical lifespan for a teen idol is two to three years. Once she hit 20, her sales plummeted and her behavior became more bizarre after cheating on Justin.
She is like a c*ckroach, you kill it then it comes back creepier than ever. Her career is OVER and many of her fans from 1999 and 2000 moved on to other artists.
Hey 10:52 PM g'ville, you make us laugh! The c*nt thrives on having the media on her, she is a selfish, cold, evil, childish, immature psycho b*tch from Hell! We would leave her alone if she didn't force feed her private life on the world with Chaotic dumba**! Many artists and celebs and family members have had drug habits but this woman lied about everything and we don't trust people who LIE!
The woman is a terrible liar, a cold hearted b*tch and just EVIL to the core!
pretty sure "dean" isn't even Black. just someone tryin to start problems. so dont go rationalizing why people use that word, there's no rationale.
US, you need to clean up your discussion boards
"n!ggar"

Dean Clean.....your brain is as small as a, Bean! & you look like a Fean!

she will be back and better and you PEOPLE need find something else to do damn we all have problems.and im sure they are worse than hers.just because she has LOTS of money dont make her no "miss never bleep up in life"hottie.o by the way im sure we all have done something for attention,and maybe this is her way of trying to get it,well if thats what she wanted,she got it.cause everybody is talking bout it
leave her alone.if you have ever had a drug habit you will know what the girl is going thru.as 4-myself i feel the girl good things are hard to let go but when you got to,it makes you go crazy.and for simon u otta b removed from tv.U r a true bleep!i have hated you since idol first came out if you visited the poor and seen they didn have anything,why they still without.if i had your money i would have gave them over have of it.ur a LOOSER you need a good bleep whooping im from TENNESSEE and if you would bring your bad attitude here you wouldnt go back to hollywood with it!!!
look at dean refreshing nonstop to harass people. only play she gets i bet.
F*CK NO THE DEAN I AM A HAPPILY MARRIED WOMAN I DON"T GO AFTER OTHER MEN
her symptoms don't match ppd or depression. bipolar they do. drugs they do.
Hi Teri, you want to climb up on these nutz?
to the people saying that britney may not have PPD better take a better look in the mirror. I am a mother of a 20 month old boy and PPD started rearing its ugly head 2 weeks before I gave birth to my son. I was put on medication and also went to counseling to help combat it. Britney had 2 kids within a year of each other. Her body didn't have a chance to fully heal from one pregnancy before jumping into another so now that her body is finally pregnancy free PPD is probably rearing its ugly head for her AND it sometimes does take up to a year for PPD to showup in a woman.
F@KE: I will be flaccid at any moment. Please take advantage of my HUGE offer. By the way, I am losing my 'rection because I was looking at a picture of Rosie O. That c*nt is too fat and hairy to live. I KNOW some of you must agree. Plus, she had a man hand in getting rid of my girl Starr.
F@KE: Did you strain your little brain coming up with those big words? How about I help unclog it by sticking my 8 inches of sexual chocolate manhood down your throat? Does that sound tempting to you?
Rehab does seem to be fashionable now, but I do think that Britney (based upon what I've read and the pictures, etc.) does have a substance abuse problem and if she truly does then she needs to be where she is now (although I'm not convinced she really thinks she needs to be there). I do not think she suffers from depression of any kind. If Simon realizes that other people have bigger problems, good for him, but addiction is a struggle no matter the socioeconomic background.
ANONYMOUS 1: What kind of b.s. user name is that? When you can be creative enough to come up with a name, then I will respond to your ignorance.
THE DEAN that was crude on the wrong thread, meaner 1 down below no pun intended!
MAGGIE: Close your legs. I can smell your breath from here. You are certainly a fat hairy cracker, aren't you?
9:18 PM Anonymous...Simon have every right to express his opinion....and he was brutally honest and he tell it as it is...if you can't handle the truth, that's too bad. He was interviewed by the London Mirror and was asked what he thought about Britney. You can hate him all you want, but he speaks the truth.
for the last time brit is not "CRAZY" it's all for the publicity and she's doin great at gettin that!
Simon Cowell shouldn't be passing judgement on anyone's life----WHO THE HELL IS HE!!! He is the last one to be speaking about self indulgence--- How many million dollar houses and cars does he have!
Good for him, finally (in his fifties) he has realized that there are extremely poor people in this world. How pathetic! What he should concentrate on is trying to make a positive difference in these people's lives, rather than commenting on the lives of people he knows nothing about, people who could probably care less how a man who makes his money off the talents of others, feels about them.

simmon, tell it like it is.
grow-up britney. no one feels sorry 4u. u had the world by the balls and you let go. that is your problem, not owers. we feel bad 4 all the little girls you marketed to, that u let down & set a bad example for. u wanted all these little girls 2 like u. "oh, britney." "britney." "britney."
then you act like a drug head, get married real young, don't even take your kids out to parks/ no one has even seen your 2nd baby, smoke, act like a slut........
have you done anything good???? like help poor people, feed the homeless......ANYTHING!!!
No because, you r a spoiled, non grateful, little brat.
I KNOW IF I HAD THE WORLD BY THE BALLS (IN THE PALM OF BY HANDS) I WOULD NOT HAVE LET GO AND I WOULD HAVE DONE ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BETTER OF A JOB W/ MY LIFE. AND A LOT BETTER OF A JOB SHOWING PEOPLE HOW GREATFUL I WAS BY GIVING BACK!!!!!
Britney has taken advantage of what life can give her and she's being a brat. She didn't care for herself or kids which leads to consequences..........She can't seem to deal with life and thats to bad.
She needs to understand life is about choices. A wrong choice can lead to many dissappointments. Just deal with it and grow up!!!!!!!
