Who will get the most bad girl on the edge tabloid points this year, Amy or Britney? Who has the grreater chance of not even making it thorugh to the end of the year?

Brit was taken by ambulance to the psych ward last night with a 100 yard escort of police vehicles to keep those pesky papparazi away.

Not quite as sexy as having a crack smoking video posted online but still pretty good, and we're still just in January.

It's a tie, but I've been rooting for Amy for awhile now, whereas Britney for so long was looking for the publicity

Brit was on top of the world. She wins in a landslide.

Sad to say this but the answer is whoever ends up dead before the year ends.

Reading the lastest news on Britney made me wonder what is actually her problem? I don´t follow her that much, but is it drugs and alcohol behind all this or does she have any other problems that I don´t know about. I know that nothing´s what it seems, but she seems to have had everything - money, fame, success, two babies, husband - what went so wrong that she had to end up like this?

My opinion of Britney is that she is HOOKed on coke ... her body guard hinted that in an interview i saw ... he said somethin like "they were in a club - big screens were put up ... so people in the club couldnt see what she was doin ... and they were doing lines ... " that how wacked she is ...

but of course ... like alot of the addictions ... it could be multiple things too by this point ...

Britney is pathetic, but Amy is just SAD!

Britney's crazier & less talented, but Amy's in serious trouble. She looks a lot less healthy.

Really, I don't care...

(oh lawd, they didn't hear me...)

I DON'T CARE!

Brit is a plain and simple nut case...she'll drop soon.

The other Brit was a good singer, but she's nothing special
and a couple of good songs was all I was expecting from her
anyways, so no big loss when she drops.

I'll let you figure out which of the Brits belongs in which category.

Britney likes the press and the drugs. If she didn't, she would relocate and get help.

I think the GREATEST train wreck of all will be her kids. Imagine having her for a mother...whoa that would be some whacky shit. Britney is by far a lot worse than Anna ever was. At least Anna cared about her kids. All Britney is after is drugs, sex, parties, press and being a skeptical. I wish the media would just turn their backs on her, for good, then suddenly, when NO ONE cared about her, I'd bet tons of money, you would see her changed and reformed. I think on some greater level, this is all about press. I hate to say it.

As for Amy, at least she doesn't have kids. If she wants to fuck up her life, let her.

Britney Spears. Its kind of an obvious answer..

Both.

I hope when Amy gains weight again in rehab

Britney is an addict, yes but she is dealing with a bigger blow...She is no longer relevant. She is no longer selling out arenas, she is no longer on top of the charts, she isn't being interviewed for major stories except for things not related to her career. Also, since she spent the majority of her youth working her ass off, she's literally going through her teens in a maturity sense as well.

It's the typical young superstar cliche. It's not really a close example, but Play from the rap group kid n play hit bottom before coming back up with his film company. They say he slipped into a deep deppression and never came out of his house. People don't understand...when your star fades, it's a blow the unprepared, non consulted go through. I'd imagine since she was a superstar in her youth, the fading of her star was probably a bigger blow than if she were an adult and it happened.

STANK

Apples & oranges,
so I really don't try to compare 'em.

As far as trains wrecks go,
I think that they're both great.

They're both such different personality types with different backrounds and different levels of talent. I really don't compare them either.

I understand that Britney's been released into her father's care, hopefully that works for her.

Amy's in a different situation though. She's a heroin addict. Rather than a flimsy 72 hour hold in a posh celebrity country club posing as a hospital , she's in a hardcore sanitarium trying to get that monkey off her back cold turkey. As of this weekend, it has been announced in Europe Amy has been smuggled into another hospital under an assumed name and unfortunately is now placed on a drip, but conscious. It has been said that her family will try to keep her there for as long as possible. In any event, good luck to both of these kids.

Britney may have been a drug addict, BUT she has been DIAGONOSED with severe psychiatric problems,too.

With this latest stay, her dad has been appointed " joint conservator" or " joint legal guardian" which means he makes decisions regarding her well-being (treatment, etc.,) while she's in the hospital. Her current attorney has also been appointed joint conservator of her esate--meaning that he is handling her personal accounts. All of this was petitioned to and approved by the court.

As long as her dad remains strong--listening the her PSYCHIATRIST, then this arrangement might actually do her some good. BUT her dad should have been tougher the first time she was committed, and a police esort wouldn't have been necessary this time because she would have remained in the psych ward--possibly transferring to UCLA because it appears to have a better facility than Cedar.

Regarding Amy.. she is obviously a drug addict, BUT she might ALSO have some UNDIAGNOSED mental problem. I would imagine her family and friends could take drastic measures to help involuntarily commit her to treatment, too(??), but I don't isn't she from Great Britain, so.. I'm not sure..

As far as their talent, well I prefer Amy, but then again Britney has a lot fans... I don't think she's talentless either.

The real shame to me is that the entertainment business enables this sort of behavior.. just feeding-off the talent of actors, music artist to get well enough to "create" a product, then generate any type of publicity to sell it.
Then we've got kids idolizing these people--wanting to be like these people in the midst of self-destruction.. They want to be on A.I. RATHER than go to school to get an education... to really nurture their talent and their minds.
We've got pop-stars--like Britney, for example--not even having a hs diploma, supporting her family. Why couldn't some responsible party in the industry say.. "hey--come back when you've finished high school,"? No, there was too much money to be made at that very moment. It's disgusting.

At one point, when is the entertainment business going to step-back and say--"Enough already," and raise their standards a bit for recruiting its "stars"? No.. it's all about the quick buck, then throwing these people to the curb.

It reminds me of the situation with Judy Garland. I believe the studios got her hooked on prescription pills....

Yes, this is an excellent comparison.. except at that time--I think it was more standard practice for the studio systems to "take control." I think even Elvis was a sort of victim of the same system in a way??

But nowadays.. I think it's more insidious. For years.. there were rumors whispered in the dance community about Britney being unstable, so you know people in the industry knew. Ya'll don't have to believe me.. but an acquaintance of mine--a former professional from L.A. told me about Britney's problems long before they ever made it to press.

It's like.. these people just enabled her.. kind of ignoring it, ya know??? A lot these people in power KNOW what is going-on.. but they cast a blind eye to it.

I have been harsh on her parents.. but to me.. it doesn't seem like they themselves didn't know what to do and were probably in denial. And maybe they were from a poor family? I don't know.. I just think it's a BIG mistake to pull someone out of school to groom them to be a star... And like I said.. the industry could raise its standards, and get hard-nose about it--postponing a profit or even taking a loss if an artist isn't ready or is having some huge problems.

Look at Heath Ledger.. He was complaining of NOT sleeping.. so some dubious doctors give him PILLS--putting a band-aid over the symptom without addressing the cause? Maybe producers should have advised AGAINST the pills and postponed the project until his issue were addressed. Maybe he should have been encouraged to go other professionals--counselors--even other actors--like someone like Meryl Streep, for example--who had a really difficult time "letting go" of her role as "Sophie," from what I've read. Maybe SHE could have helped him with just one phone call. I'm not trying make her out to be Superwoman either, but there are professional, experience actors in the business WHO ARE EDUCATED and GROUNDED, and I just think they are underused as resources.

But no... the producers just do the expedient thing.. and now Heath Ledger is dead.

At least Amy has talent, Britney is only good for porn or being a paid prostitute, which she would be good at.

Britney will be dead soon, sad but true.

The sure did. They had her hooked on speed by the time she was a pre-teen, just barely signed to a studio movie contract,she was in the child actor division. She was passing out on sets by the time she was 13. MGM studio doctors had her on multiple speed prescriptions to keep her weight and body type in the pubescent "Dorothy" type we know from the Wizard of Oz, as well like the earliest characters as Mickey Rooney's sidekick in a very lucrative franchize. In this way MGM could continue to capitalize on her "America's Young Darling" appeal. Sadly, being a slavedriver and horrendous stage mother, her mom Ethel Gumm was a major support force behind these actions and according to Judy's daughters, as a result the two ended up having a pretty turbulent relationship until Mama Gumm died.

Hmm... Í don't know! They both are head on head.. but Britney has been leading this live for much longer! So it took her 15+ years to get nuts... Winehouse did so in 3 years... so I'd say, Winehouse is the bigger train wreck! She got there faster!

they are both messed up, and though I'm not a fan of either and poke fun at their headlines, I hope they make it out ok, and move far away and quit show business, especially britney.

As far as I know, Britney hasn't taken the train to H town so I'll say Amy.
