True Britney Fans, in Good Times and in Bald

Saturday, March 24, 2007

Last month, Britney Spears gave herself a makeover. This month, her Website followed suit.

A new redesign of the official Spears domain features a photo of the singer in happier—read: hairier—days, alongside a space for fans to share their "thoughts and inspirations" with the rehabbing pop star.

Judging from a selection of missives posted on the site, true Spears enthusiasts remain as unwavering as ever in their dedication to the entertainer.

"You are the best female artist ever," an especially keen fan named Laura wrote.

"Be strong, be happy and know that you are loved! (not in a stalker way)," wrote another fan named Lauren, taking care to ensure her sentiment would not be misinterpreted.

Others expressed confidence that Spears still had a bright future ahead of her.

"It's all a journey, and the bumpy bits can be rough and scary, but I have absolute faith that there's a lot of good times ahead for you," a fan named Anthony assured the pop princess.

One fan even suggested that Spears was the most powerful mortal of all time.

"Britney, you are a very special person and you are one of a kind. There is no other person on this earth that can ever hold the power that you have," Tim F. opined.

Spears checked into the Promises treatment center in Malibu on Feb. 21, after a spate of erratic behavior that culminated with her shaving her head.

Reports have speculated that she is being treated for issues ranging from substance abuse and postpartum depression to bipolar disorder and bulimia, though there's been no official word on her condition.

Her estranged husband, Kevin Federline, has been a frequent visitor to the center, often with the couple's two sons in tow. She has also been observed leaving the Promises premises on several occasions to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

However, with Spears' 30-day mark fast approaching, Star magazine reports that Promises may be just as happy as she is about her impending discharge.

"Britney has a seriously bad attitude problem," an "insider" told the magazine. "She's been very demanding, acts like a 12-year-old and throws temper tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants!"

The source claimed Spears has had difficulty adjusting to life at Promises—as relatively luxurious as the $48,000-a-month facility may be.

"She refuses to pick up after herself and even asked if she could hire a maid!" the source told Star. "She's asking for this and that, special food, special everything--and she's not that nice to anyone. She has a serious entitlement problem."

Furthermore, her time in rehab has reportedly caused Spears to develop a serious Coke habit.

"She has been drinking tons of Coca-Cola—about two cases a day, or 24 Cokes in 24 hours. She drinks one after the other!" Star's source claimed.

Fortunately for Spears, loyal fans like Tim F. continue to embrace her, flaws and all.

"I love ya Britney and you mean a lot to me and to everyone," Tim F. wrote. "I support you, Britney, and I always will.

"I will never turn my back on you no matter how bad life may get, and I promise you that you can totally count on that."

And that should count for something.
