MARIAH CAREY - CAREY SYMPATHISES WITH SPEARS

MARIAH CAREY sympathises with troubled singer BRITNEY SPEARS - because she knows better than most how difficult it can be to live her life under such media scrutiny.The 38-year-old singer admits she struggled with fame in her early years in the music industry, but believes Spears is not doing herself any favours by associating herself with the wrong type of people.She says, "It's easy to say, 'With Britney, this and that didn't work out,' but I'm not that presumptuous."I've experienced it myself. Setbacks come if you lead your life in the public eye and let people get closer to you than you should."But it was never as dramatic with me as it was with Britney. I've never done hard drugs and I always had a firm hold of somewhere." -ContactMusic/BritneyOverdose

But the timing was never right. Now it looks like it’s finally going to happen.”A source close to the singer added that Britney hopes that the deal will show she is capable of handling responsibility again - and that might help her regain regular access to her sons Sean and Jayden: “She desperately loves [the boys], and her heart breaks that she can’t spend more time with them.”“But she realizes that if she wants to have any hope of spending more time with her children, she’s going to have to impress the court with her progress.”“She used to spend her days driving aimlessly through LA, going from gas stations to Rite Aid to Taco Bell. Now, with a schedule set by Jamie that includes getting up by 8am, there has been a noticeable difference in Britney’s attitude.”-Fametastic/BritneyOverdose

Britney More Influential than Bush

Two hundred finalists have been named in Time magazine's readers' poll of the 100 most influential people in the world. Aliens, if you planning on showing up to make an assessment of our planet, this would be a bad week to do it.Britney Spears is ranked No. 2, a full 102 people ahead of Condoleezza Rice–who herself is only listed just above Simon Cowell. Rice, at least, fared better than our commander-in-chief whose global influence placed him at an embarrassingly low 185th, several notches below the cast of High School Musical.To recap: Never mind who has the power to blow this precious blue marble to pieces; when it comes to global influence, it’s less about a guy named Bush than a woman who famously flashed hers.
