The premiere of her documentary Britney: For The Record aired, revealing all of the intimate details of the past year in the life of Britney Spears.  It's unbelievably heartbreaking, and puts her in a light like you've never seen her in before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Britney is a phenomenon.  She is the Marilyn Monroe of our generation.  She is everything that fame and superstardom is made of.  And it's such a rare kind of person that leads this type of existence.  She continually brings up the idea of having a family, and wanting to get away from it all.  She refers to her life as a prison at one point.  There's a time where she pauses, stares out the window for a good ten seconds, begins to cry and simply says, "I'm sad."  She can't walk down the street to get a cup of coffee without an army of paparazzi and fans stalking her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will it ever change? Will people ever back off? How do we fight the obsession of "celebrity". It's terrifying and sad what people get put through. These people are constantly stalked and it's pretty sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier tonight my friend and I were trimming the Christmas tree in my small New York apartment... and we thought it would be funny to top the tree with the infamous bald Britney picture. After watching this...  I'm not sure how I feel about it.  She opens up about shaving her head, and about essentially having a nervous breakdown.  I don't think it's cool to make fun of somebody who's obviously suffering...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you have to admit, it kind of works.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Highlights from the program:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Madonna providing a moment of Superstar Insight&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Britney referring to Kevin as her "baby's daddy"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Britney holding up an ugly blouse and saying, "This is sooo Katie Holmes"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-SEAN PRESTON-JAYDEN JAMES CAMEO OMFG&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;-Her opening up about Justin, Kevin, SAM LUFTI, shaving her head, etc, etc, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This girl needs to be left alone for a little while.  She can pursue her career as far as she wants, but she deserves to be able to live like a human being.  No one should have to fear for their life when walking from the car to the entrance of a building.  No one should have to feel the need that they owe something to the entire world... and that they must live in a bubble in order to fulfill that "need".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There needs to be boundaries that are set for these people.  We can't build celebrities up to unattainable expectations-- it can only lead to insanity.  Something's got to give.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2319291245937998507-827541864365254908?l=thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com/feeds/827541864365254908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2319291245937998507&amp;postID=827541864365254908' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2319291245937998507/posts/default/827541864365254908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2319291245937998507/posts/default/827541864365254908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com/2008/11/theres-no-excitement-theres-no-passion.html' title='&quot;There&apos;s no excitement, there&apos;s no passion.

And unavoidable.  And most of all, silent.  A generation sitting on our asses, apathetic about apathy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You look at the past eight years of corruption in the American government... and up until recently (mostly in part because of the interest the election generated), everything was kept quiet.  Both with the corruptors and with us as the youth of the nation.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't want to be silenced, and it may seem like the ultimate oxymoron, I'm taking to a blog (yet another silent form of speech) to just get my voice out there.  I want to provide some of my own insight to the fucked up world we live in.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So here goes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2319291245937998507-625191690884980966?l=thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com/feeds/625191690884980966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2319291245937998507&amp;postID=625191690884980966' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2319291245937998507/posts/default/625191690884980966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2319291245937998507/posts/default/625191690884980966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesilentgeneration.blogspot.com/2008/11/beginning-of-end.html' title='The Beginning of the End'/><author><name>Signasty</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10385597389309415075</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3AyB0pwfAgQ/Scsg9QNjysI/AAAAAAAAAD8/FU9M5ymT5dc/S220/3386214911_391924bb45_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3AyB0pwfAgQ/STNy9R42FWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/LZPAFOk_zMs/s72-c/05+Sloth+smaller.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
