In the past 18 years, I have facilitated the rebuilding and reuniting of over 40,000 families worldwide. I have had to occasionally deal with families who have a "lost" family member like Britney Spears. While I think we all agree Britney is suffering the consequences of her own personal choices, I believe she still deserves to be helped, as does anyone who has lost their way and is wandering the streets of life. Here is my proposal for rescuing Britney...
How To Save Britney Spears In 3 Painful Steps:
Step 1. Total Britney Blackout. All media need to declare a Britney Blackout for 90 days. If the buyers (celeb mags, tabloid TV, etc) stop buying Brit pics, clips and articles, the paparazzi will slink off to another celeb, seeking their next payday. In fact, I urge the media reps to have their own photographers go out and document which paparazzi members are still stalking Britney's every move, then blacklist that paparazzi from being able to sell any images of ANY celebrity until they agree to stay away from Britney. The media created this monster and the media can kill this monster! You and I as consumers can make an immediate impact. I call upon every person in the world who reads celeb magazines to ONLY purchase the magazines that have a printed statement on their cover saying, "We support the Britney blackout". Do NOT purchase any magazine or watch any tabloid TV show that shows images of Britney or mentions her in a story. THIS IS EASY AND YOU SHOULD GET INVOLVED! If you want to take it to a stronger level, contact the advertisers within the pages of any celeb mags and tell them you will not do business with them until they too support the Britney blackout. And speaking of advertisers, which of you will be the first to step up and declare your role in stopping this exploitation of falling star? Those who get in first will enjoy the best PR kick and those who hold out will suffer the losses which come from being labeled an exploitive company. Choose your role.
Step 2. Declare Britney Spears a Danger To Herself. I'm talking to you Lynne Spears. Only you can make this bold step. This is a painful and awkward experience for the entire family but is vital in order to get the court system behind you in your efforts to save Britney. Once the Britney blackout goes into effect and you are able to secure Britney in a mental health facility, only THEN can the healing begin.
Step 3. 90 Days Of Family, family, family. Britney needs to be taken back to a time and place when life was so much simpler, before fame, before wealth, before tabloids. She needs to be surrounded by loved ones with no agenda (if there are any family members with agendas, exclude them) she needs to enjoy story telling of memories from the past, old home videos, childhood treats should be enjoyed, games should be played and prayers should be shared. Britney will eventually begin to shed the baggage which fame and super stardom has piled upon her and she will steadily climb back up into the drivers seat of her life. It will take time and the family should be braced for a bumpy ride through this journey, but I believe 90 continuous days of family intervention and embracing, will undo years of damage.
I am not discounting the fact that Britney may suffer from some mental illnesses but I don't believe an accurate evaluation can be made with her in this condition. She needs to be rescued from the place she is before a solid medical conclusion can be made. She may not be mentally ill. She may just be very, very lost. Lost people hope to be found, to be rescued.
So, can the national media put aside their greed and support a Britney blackout? Will YOU make your voice heard?
Or will you sit next to millions of others around the world and watch as this young lady destroys herself? May your true character come forth and may the people behind the many media outlets stand up and have a spine.
