Britney Performs For 1st Time in 3 years

Britney Spears was lip-syncing and jiggling her little heart out on the evening of May 1st at the San Diego House of Blues. The set lasted less than 15 minutes but included some of her biggest hits. She is slated to do a few more “shows” this week, and though I think it is admirable of her to try to rebuild her career, I wonder if frolicking on stage is really what she needs to be doing right now.

She seems to have a lot of things in her life that need mending. Her life choices within the last few years have been questionable, to say the least. I’m not just talking about K-fed or the hanging around with Paris Hilton. She has two small sons at home, and she was away at rehab for weeks following her post separation club-a-thon with the Hollywood it girls of the moment. I guess I just wonder where these kids fit into her life.

Brit has been through a lot, but seeing as most of her problems have been a direct result of being in the spotlight, maybe a break is in order. I don’t mean a “break” that includes releasing a poorly shot reality show or smacking her gum for the world to see with Matt Lauer. I mean a genuine “be a mom and not a celebrity that everyone wants a piece of” break. She has all the money in the world. Can’t she go to some private island where the paparazzi can’t stalk her and spend a few months reconnecting with her kids? I guess that wouldn’t be much fun for us, but it would save everyone the misfortune of having to hear any new Britney Spears’ songs.
