“Sneak a peek at a newsstand any time between 2000 and 2008 and there was Britney — walking down the red carpet at a premiere with JT; walking out of a mini-mart, pregnant, holding hands with a smiling and nearly shirtless K-Fed; wide- and wild-eyed, frightened, head shaved, defensive. For Britney, real life is totally indistinguishable from music. Like Michael Jackson, she doesn’t seem to have a choice; no matter where she turns, a camera follows her, barnstorms her car, begs for a picture. But what separates Britney from Michael, or Marilyn, or the hundreds of celebrities before her - even Madonna - is that TMZ, Perez Hilton, and their sort are accelerated versions of the tabloid culture prior celebrities encountered, and one to which Britney has been subjected virtually from the beginning. Like any frightened species, there has to be some sort of antagonistic response - and we were able to watch it, right there, whenever we wanted.”
