If you don't know Britney Spears, you're not human. It's either you live in Mars or you're stuck forever in a room of your parents' old records. Everyone knows her music, her style and her life which is a huge open book to the public. During her first decade in the music industry, she became a prominent and well-known figure in mainstream popular music and pop culture, followed by a much-publicized life. Her first few albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while her tracks became number one hits. She was every teen-age girl's role model and idol. She was actually credit for the revival of teen pop in the early 1990's. She was America's Sweetheart. But it seems that her life changed after she got married for 55 hours to Jason Allen Alexander. She got into rehab, got various lawsuits, partied her "panties & thongs" off with Paris Hilton, drunk driving, and dropping her kids, Sean and Jayden.Â
News in the tabloid spread like wildfire that she dropped (literally) her son, Jayden in the stairs because she's tipsy. Jayden was rushed in the hospital and got minor injuries but hey, a baby could die in those kind of accidents! Seriously, what is Mommy Spears thinking of carrying her baby when she's all drunk and wasted from a party? In February 2006, pictures surfaces of Britney driving with her son Sean, on her lap instead of the car seat. Child advocates were horrified by the photos of her holding her holding the wheel with one hand and Sean with the other.Â
Press people and child advocates call her irresponsible and stupid. "Recent photos of Britney Spears driving with her infant son on her lap are troubling. If she's a responsible mother, she wouldn't have let this thing happen. And while Ms. Spears has acknowledged her mistake, her actions still send the wrong message to millions of her fans." says John Mineta, a child advocate at an event at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to mark the start of Children Passenger Safety Week.Â
