Could it be that this woman is suffering from postpartum depression? Her erratic behavior might be pointing to that. 
 





Before we stone her, let's make sure we understand what is going on with her. She is more than likely crying out for help.

She is a woman who's never had a grounded, mature adult in her life to be there during those moments as a teenager and as a young woman veers off and needs that vital, often unwanted, feedback that helps keeps people on course. This is a girl who's raised herself in a culture that thrives on fantasy, exploitation and warped values and views of what it means to be a girl or a woman.

Her performance was very sad, but even more deplorable are the show producers who invited her on, having a pretty good idea that she wouldn't be able to hold it together and that that would make for good TV. Anyone with a right mind knows this woman is no place right now to go on stage. She needs time to get straight. She may never be altogether stable but who knows, really. Even Courtney Love eventually has grown up and is in better shape than she was during her Hole and post-Cobain era. She might not be my idea or your idea of a responsible person but then again we aren't living her life and have never had to traverse the psychological territory she has.

I hope Britney can one day find her dignity, sanity and serenity. She may have to find it somewhere far away from the public eye and that's going to be tough to give that up, but I think that's just what she needs.
