Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

Updated:   Published

hey guys!

I know this is a short one, but I read it on imdb.com today that she is demanding background checks for the nurses helping her delivery. First Kylie Minogue, and now this. man, I've always hated celebrities.

pregnant pop star Britney Spears is planning to a luxurious labor when she gives birth to her first child in three months time. the singer has reserved a plush room in a hospital in Scottsdale, Arizona as well as all adjacent rooms to ensure her moans and groans cannot be heard by nosy passers-by. a source tells star magazine, "Britney wants white and yellow roses in the room when she gets there. Britney wants all the nurses serving her to be given background checks."

I think that last post is amazing. Thank you Renee! On that we can agree......there is a cultural problem that runs deeply and affects all our girls. We dont' have to agree about Britney Spears, but I do agree, we have a lot of deep-seated problems to solve, regarding our girls' sense of self-esteem and delicate, fragile sense of body image.

Ohh Ok. You seemed be saying that you prefer to tune out things that you do not want to hear or see, so I was just curious to why you would respond to posts that you found negative - instead of exiting the room. :)

Tinkerbell...one point you missed in my post was "having choices" which we all have. I turn off what I don't want to partake in. This topic I am passionate about, so I am exercising my choice to partake in it. If it helps but one lurker to show more compassion towards these people who have been put on a pedastal higher than heaven, then nothing I share will have been said in vain. :)

My kids are about an hour from home, and I'm excited. So, gotta go now. I will address any questions or thoughts you may have as I'm able. I'm not putting you down for any personal feelings you yourself have Tinkerbell. I'm simply exercising my right to share how this topic makes me feel. I'm all about the kids in my life, and Britney is still a kid in more ways than one to me. I am old enough to be her mother, and I wish I were because she would not have been allowed to be pushed in front of the camera the way her parents allowed her to be. Now I pray for her little sister so she won't be corrupted by the moguls who prey on our innocent children every chance they get for their own gain...not for the childrens. :)

Goodnight everyone! Can't wait to hug my little babies as they come through the door. Doggy and I are all excited! Until later....Have a great night everyone!

Deb, I don't mind and don't expect you to agree with me. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me on this at all. I respect you as well, and certainly respect your right to post your own personal thoughts on the subject of celebrities we may or may not approve of for various reasons. It's okay. I'm okay. :)

I am my daughter's role model for how a woman should present herself, not some media star. My daughters have never in their lives tried to mimic a celebrity. They still don't. Some teens grow up obcessed with celebrities to the point they want to alter their appearance to look like them, even down to having plastic surgery or starving themselves to be butt thin. I see this more in the caucasian culture than I do in the Black culture in this country. I've never understood that because I never did it as a teen, and my kids haven't either, and so far their kids do not either. And I do have preteen and teenaged grandchildren already, and still do not see this behavior in them.

I look at these kid stars who have grown up to be so overwhelmed with stardom. Who put them there? Their parents put them in the limelight, and allowed the music and movie moguls to have control over their kids down to allowing them to put on makeup at an early age, dress too sexy for the cameras, adopt the mannerisms of "the hollywood euphoria", and sing songs that are about seduction and getting laid or breaking up....all before the kids come into their own identities naturally out of the spotlight. So, this is why I look at these "kids groomed for stardom" and not judge them for how they begin to go wild once they are no longer minors and under the control of their parents. Given time, they eventually grow up and recover. Some do, and unfortunately some don't (like Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Little Kim, Pink, Bobby Brown, other male artists, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilerra, Whitney Houston, and so forth). This is what is sad! Once children, now all grown up on the outside and messed up on the inside. Emotionally stunted kids. :o

My frustrations are not about simply Britney, but all the Britneys -- the emotionally stunted star kids who have made it to adulthood only to have to grow up emotionally before the cameras. They look like they are adults, but they still hunger for the person inside them they never got to be. As a mother, this is painfully bothersome, and I feel sad for all of them.

That said, if I were a celebrity, I'd be bad mouthed in the media too because I've always danced to the tune of my own music, never being bothered by peer pressure or the need to look like someone I'm not. I'm just comfortable being "me". :) And, I'd have my celebrity butt in a safe comfy place to deliver any babies I would have as a celebrity, and not feel guilty at all about it. :)

Her diva behavior goes beyond being in a "safe comfy place" to have her children.

Thanks Deb! :) See you all tomorrow. Well, not literally see you, but "see you". :chuckle

Tinkerbell...your hatred for this girl is too obvious in your comments. I can't help you with that. Maybe when you are older you'll come to see more clearly where this mom and grandmom are coming from with this topic...not with Britney or how she dresses, etc.. Sorry...won't touch this area of her life. No one is perfect. I just thank God that HE and only HE is our one and only true judge of how we have lived out the life He graced us with. Throwing stones at Brit won't build peace in your own heart. Release it Tinkerbell. Let it go. And, I say this in the spirit of love...not meanness. :) Nighty night now! :balloons:

Edited to say: I notice that you are 'older'...my bad......so I can only say that you may possibly have some deep rooted anger towards this girl because of perhaps something you have always struggled with in your own life -- either with yourself, a sister, someone else???? Only you know the real reason. If I'm wrong, I apologize. I'm just wondering why you hate this girl so with all the bad comments you've made to attack her, that's all. Try to see her as the imperfect human being that she is, in need of forgiveness just like you, me and everyone else in the world. Maybe this will help you to stop bashing her and women like her. :)

I am older-- 43, but I do not feel that her fame entitles her to treat the hospital staff as if they were would-be criminals, or insist taking up extra rooms and cater to her diva whims.

I do not have any hatred toward Britney Spears. I just don't have any sympathy for her. And while others may have placed her on that pedestal, she alone has the choice to stay there. That is where she chooses to be.

All women who enter a public (or private) hospital labor and delivery unit should be treated special -- given quality care equal to that of others, not have to worry about their privacy being violated or their child being kidnapped.

HIPPA is still in place no matter who you are and don't you think Britney's atty knows the rules...

We got a HIPPA notice that 37 employees lost their jobs from illegal disclosures stemming from Pres. Clinton's heart surgery...Some folks let a little celebrity go to their head. As for being a nurse delegated to SERVE the little trash basket in question, if I worked at that Scottsdale Hospital, I'd call in if scheduling my vacation didn't coincide with the icky delivery! Who would want that slimy dad leering at their butt while they bend over the whiny princess mom? Can you imagine the drama from starting the IV or positioning for the epidural? Please.

When I wrote my post comments about the hatred spewed on this forum, you proved my point when writing what you did above. (I narrowed it down to the adjectives you mentioned against Britney and other celebs so you would know exactly where I'm coming from.

When I don't want to watch a show, listen to a certiain type of music or certain singer singing, or read about them, or hear about them, I simply exercise my choices the Good Lord gave me, and tune it all out. My television and my radio at home and in the car all have knobs that turn on and off, channels that have the ability to be changed....so that's how I handle the media and the celebrity hype everyone craps about on here. :) If something isn't important enough for me to involve myself with, I choose to simply not partake of it. I don't buy newspapers unless I want the job ads, and then I throw away the rest of the paper after I removed the classified ads. Now we can search the classified ads on the computer which is great! No bothering with the media, the hype....:) This is all I'm saying in a nutshell.

So I proved your point? So what? Britney Spears and the rest of her no talent ilk make me sick and I resent the heck out of seeing their mugs plastered everywhere I turn, which, by the way, is MORE

harrassing than any kind of harrassment Spears' perceives.

And you know what else??? I shouldn't have to be trained to tune out garbage I don't want to hear.

It's abuse! Good material for psychological torture!

We're supposed to find Britney so cute and endearing now that she's proven she can have a baby? I'm sorry, this thread is making me sick. I'll heed the advice of some of the others and jump ship on this thread. I can't take it anymore.
