Simon Cowell Defends Britney Spears
Britney Spears has one unlikely ally in her comeback struggle: Simon Cowell.
Mr. Nasty is telling "Extra" that he actually likes the troubled pop star - and that she might be making all the right moves!
"She's all over the news, she gets more publicity that the entire Hot 100 combined, so maybe she's doing everything right and everyone else is getting it wrong," he confessed to "Extra."
The "American Idol" judge also says folks should cut Britney some slack for what the pop star goes through.
He's shrugging off her bizarre bathroom encounter with a paparazzo this week, in which she invited him inside, saying, "They follow her everywhere, so they might as well go into the loo with her."
He admitted he's standing up for Britney "a little bit," adding, "I actually like her. I think she's interesting."
But there is one thing Simon would change for Britney.
About her single, "Gimme More," Simon quipped, "Change the 'more' to 'less.'"

What most people do not understand is Britney never had a chance to be a kid, she has always had to do performances and it has finally taken a toll on her mentally. I remember when I was her age I was doing drugs, drinking, partying and in college I am not saying that she is not to blame but I think she messed up when she married K-Fed and made other decisions. Nobody children are mistake. God put each and everyone of use on earth for a reason. No one knows what was going on in that house when she was married to K-Fed, even the bodyguard trying to get his cash handouts on Britney. If he was so concerned for the kids then why wait until the last minute to go public. Yes, I feel that Britney is going to have to decided on her part if she wants help or not and the media is not helping. In addition, Britney is going to have to take into consideration that its just not her anymore but sometimes you have to make a change for your kids. Whenever she figures out, I hope that it is not too late. This is the first time ever responding to an opinion poll. I had a friend that was going through the same thing Britney was and she waited too late. She lost her children the only two people that ever loved her and I do not want to see anyone else go through anything horrific as that. Britney I will keep you in my prayers and remember that,” we can do all things through Christ”.
