All right, Uncle! Uncle!

I've avoided writing about Britney Spears here for some pretty good reasons. One, she's not a movie star, "Crossroads" notwithstanding. And two, what else is there left to say?
But dear Lord, isn't there anyone in her life, a cousin, a parent ... anyone, who can stop her suicidal slide?
Yesterday, she got hauled off to the hospital as the authorities stepped in.
Her plight makes great copy. I read along with everyone else, I'm ashamed to say. But I'd be happier to someday read a puffy People piece about her road to recovery.
I'm not hopeful I'll ever see such a story.

I used to follow her story like every celeb gossip addict but now I just can't. She's like a friend you have that you just want to shake repeatedly until they come to their senses... only it'd take a lot of shaking.

Great point. Too bad she doesn't have any such friend. And no, Dr. Phil doesn't count.
