In Canada the legal drinking age is 19 years old and 18 in some provinces. I don't think anything of it when I see pictures of Avril Lavigne drinking.

She was in the States at the time which is the only reason I mentioned it. That said, I didn't have a problem with her being a Roxxxor/Sk8ter girl. I like that she's an unabashed spirit, but I was just going for the legal angle. It was just something I mentioned in passing, and probably shouldn't have brought up.

At any rate... to make it clear... I was not condeming anyone for their tv viewing choice... I certainly watch television that ppl would find disgusting (obviously, I am a DH fan) and I did not want it to seem that I was passing judgement on anyone.

In case I wasn't clear, I'm not either. And to further clarify, my issue with the show isn't her revelations of smoking, drinking, or sex, but with the vapidness I perceived from the previews. The whole "can you handle my reality" garbage just churned my stomach. Yeah Brit, I can handle being a millionaire with houses in L.A. and Florida...

I might or might not watch future episodes, but if you want to take up the torch, please post reviews to this thread in the future as you see fit. :thumbsup:

You should bring it up, trust me I don't think it's right she drinks at clubs in the states just because she is famous and if I were to go I would be told that it's against the law. The law is the law. I just put that out there because alot of people outside Canada don't realize the drinking age is lower then in the US.

It's not just christians... I belong to another board about this size that isn't mostly christian and the general consensus there is the same as it is here... ppl generally just don't like her.

I'm not a Christian, but since I posted the OP, if you will allow me, I'll offer a response.

I love Britney and I hate her. She's a classic American "rags to riches" story and I'm glad her singing talents and, what in TV terms is called "Q" got her the fame and fortune it did. I love her for that. I hate her for revelling in the Jerry Springerish trailer trash lifestyle - save for the condo in Florida and regular marri.. er.. trips to Las Vegas "normal" people can't afford (at least not without using credit cards - and my brother Adam - I'm looking at you).

I didn't care about her whole, "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" phase. Her actions as she transformed from a teenager to a legal adult. Her iconic status for many pre-teen girls. I'm upset with her for a social crime I consider (perhaps wrongly) of taking herself to seriously. I mean the entire promotional tag line of the show "can you handle my reality?" - come on! Her reality and 99.9999 percent of the people who even know her name have nothing in common.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to start typing stuff forbidden by CF soon, so let me end by saying I really wish I didn't know what Paris Hilton looked like, or ever saw a photo of a pregnant Britney given the background of her marriage to Kevin Federline.

Keep putting out albums with listenable pop hits Brit. You have the voice to do better than trash TV and trash marriages...

To tell you the truth the majority of people don't like her for her personal life, to those people I say you only know what you see. Her tv is most likey not that revealing. The candid shots and the magazine articles are one sided.

Alot of Christians don't like her. I know that I've seen it and heard it. It still didn't answer my question though.

I saw the previews her show, "Chaotic" on MTV a couple of days ago..However, I did not watch it. Could someone fill me in?!? Is it worth watching or...ALSO, what is this about her talking about her sexual life? Gosh, doesn't she realize that little seven year olds just might be watching? Oh man, I can only imagine; "Mommy what is oral sex?" That is horrible...

Well those parents shouldn't be letting their kids watch the show. Besides, if 7-year olds aren't going to learn oral sex from Britney, when will they learn?

Well it comes on late where I live so no young child would see it. 10pm here.

I'm going to watch the second episode this week. The only reason I might not watch it anymore is because the home video is rough to watch. I wear contacts so it's hard on my eyes.

Since The Amazing Race and Scrubs have ended their seasons Tuesday nights are a virtual dead zone for me so I think I'll watch episode 2 and see if I can handle it without shooting my TV.

In a world where Lindsay Lohan, Mary Kate, Nichole Richie, Callista Flockheart, etc. etc. are starving themselves in order to be "perfect" for the cameras, I do have to give Brit a shout out for adopting a more frumpy "accept me as I am" attitude - again according to the tabliods - about her frumpiness now that she's married and pregnant.

I'm not advocating ballooning up o 200 lbs., but let me offer an anecdote from my own life. I 5'7" woman I'd long been in love with weighed about 110 lbs when I last saw her in 2001. We drifted apart and the next time I saw her (in 2003) she was 145 - she still looked amazing to me. I loved her for her, not for how skinny she was two years earlier.

Alot of people hate on Britney because she has let herself go and I just say to them well you probably dressed like that while you were pregnant or when you aren't doing something special you probably dress down most of the time. It's sad about Lindsay Lohan. She had such a great body image for girls that look up to someone. Now I hope that nobody I knows think she has a great body now.

britney used to have a cleancut, innocent appearance. i dunno what happened, but she's the exact opposite now. the show is stupid and boring. dont waste your time watching it. if you're planning on watching it to make fun of it, dont even bother. it's so dumb and disgustingly... dumb that anything would be an improvement over britney videotaping him in the shower, or saying how many times they had sex the night before, or telling us how important all her little morals are to her

yuck.
