Pasetsky’s Challenge to the Celebrity Weeklies — BRITNEY BLACKOUT!


Dear Celebrity Weekly Editors,

It’s been another tough week for Britney.  She had a rocky reunion with her mom and she made yet another trip to the psychiatric ward, according to recent reports.  Both of these events would support your choice for her as either a main cover topic or an inset.

Ok, editors,  I’m throwing down the gauntlet.  I challenge you NOT to put Britney on your covers next week.  That’s it - a TOTAL BRITNEY BLACKOUT!  Can you do it?

I argue that this woman is clearly suffering from some type of mental illness — as has been reported by People and alluded to on the new Blender. 

If she had any other type of disease, you and the paparazzi would have much more sympathy for her and would provide her with privacy. 

For one second, put yourself in her flip flops.  She’s lost her kids, she’s lost her career, she’s lost her body.  What’s next - her life?  (Stop dreaming about rocket sales - this would be a horrific tragedy!)

Call me an optimist - but I believe giving this girl a break for one week could make a big difference.

Didn’t New York mag have something similar with Brad and Angie last year? Clever cover.

I agree! Leave her alone. Magazines should be looking to help her. Remember all the profits you have made from her.

no- Britney Spears need to be in the spotlight. It’s her drug, media attention. If mag ed’s stopped supporting her habit- who knows what drastic lengths she would go to…

fat chance they’ll take your advice! It’s all about money to them.

I am tired of Britney, Paris and Lindsay. Let’s have no more of any of them! Who cares?

I’m impressed with Mark Pasetsky’s compassion. I wish it would rub off on others in the media.

I agree with Mark. I take little interest in these articles for the above reasons.Mental illness is not an easy read fer me.

Britney is so unimportant. Please tell the magazines to ditch all photos and stories about her! She reflects the worst of what we have in our society - drug dependant, promiscuous, poor family relations… Do we really need to know more?
