Anna Nicole's Mom Worries for Britney


Anna Nicole Smith’s mother Virgie Arthur is speaking out about Britney Spears’ personal crisis, telling “Extra” she fears the pop star will suffer the same fate as her daughter.

“Pray for her,” she told “Extra.”

Virgie knows all too well the pain Britney may be going through.

“She needs a lot of prayer. That baby’s in trouble,” she said.

At last night’s Big Apple party for Rita Cosby’s Anna Nicole book, the journalist drew a haunting comparison between the two blonde bombshells.

“Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears are both sort of public train wrecks, unfortunately,” she said.

Britney Spears needs to grow up. She
certainly doesn’t have any parental
sense because she’s still a “child”
herself, even though she’s 26. Her Mom
should step in and lay down the law
no matter what the fight - with a lot of motherly love/caring, that’s really what Brit (down deep) wants. She’s
lucky that Kevin is a loving Dad, caring for those babies. Jean

They need to stop slapping her on the wrist and show her some tough love. The law needs to give her what they would give anyone else that is acting out thier “above the law” attitude. If they would show her right away they will not tolerate her behavior, she may have a fighting chance.

I cannot believe people actually support Britney’s decision not to go to court. Someone actually stated “who wants to spend a nice day in court? It’s draining and time consuming!” I was speechless for a moment. People - she is not fighting a minor traffic violation here - she is in the middle of a fight for her own children!! It’s obvious she is dealing with a combination on mental illness and substance addiction but what I think is even more disturbing is how many people make the most ridiculous excuses for her behavior. It’s fine if you want to support her and send her well wishes but to make excuses for her not making an effort to salvage a relationship with her children is sick. Personally, I am more interested in the well-being of those poor, innocent children than a lost 25-year old grown woman.

I also don’t think it is appropriate for people to bash her and call her horrible names. Hopefully, she will get help and be able to be some kind of mother to those children. The hell with here career - that’s nothing compared to family.

People, get your priorites straight - please! It makes us Americans look like superficial idiots!!!

Britney needs to want to help herself , she needs to surround herself with people who truly care about her and have her best interest at heart. I believe she can achieve this by putting her childrens needs first. She needs to concentrate on what is truly important that is not money or fame it is your children and making herself whole as a person. I hope she gets the help she needs to be able to be a person who her children can look up to they need you and they are depending on you! I wish I could sit with Britney and have a long talk with her she needs help to get on the right track. She has to pull herself together for her sons. No if’s and or but’s. There is no greater love than that of a mother for their child you need to see what is most important in your life so please get it together.

People are giving Britney such a hard time for not appearing in court even though it was not a mandatory hearing. Who wants to spend a nice day in court? It’s draining and time consuming! That is why she is paying for a great lawyer to represent her on the days she doesn’t have to be there.
I trust that when Britney gets through these times, She will be able to explain herself. I don’t see a horrible person or mother. I am rooting for her. I hope these appearances are just appearances not the whole truth.
Maybe Britney is taking responsibility and knows that it’s best for her to stay away and surrender for a bit, while she regroups and pulls herself together.
She will fight back for these kids when she is ready.
I don’t think it is wrong for her to take a break to go to Starbucks and pump Gas. She needs that. Maybe she was taking a break before returning to work. She has a new album coming out and a # 1 hit single. Maybe she is focusing on that for the moment.
That’s not a bad thing. Let her breathe and figure herself out. The kids look happy and healthy. I am sure the nanny is doing a great job. I send her good thoughts and trust that she will find courage to recover and do what’s best. She needs encouragement rite now, not blame or judgement.
I don’t have an opinion on Virgie, but sending Britney a nice prayer is not an aweful thing to say.
Xo Britney.
Nelson

Brit is not like anna nicole smith. Brit has more talent then anna nicole’s full body. Anna nicole was a gold digger ever watch her true hollywood story it give very informative insight as to who she was. When the money dried out Anna couldnt support herself plus with no talent hollywood wasnt going to give her acting jobs that she thought would be falling at her feet. Sure Brit has some issues but she is financially stable and picking up her pieces slowly while still making mistakes. All Brit has to do is follow the judges orders and its all good. Anna nicole thought that the money awarded to her by bankruptcy court would be paid to her only to be fought by Marshall’s son till he died.

Where Britney has definately made a few mistakes, she is a young. Hearing all the accusations and “shock” surrounding them, I think most young parents have done similar at one point or another - the difference, the media isnt following them around 24 hours a day to amplify every move. I think the girl is getting a bad wrap and I think K-Fed is benefiting from the fact that he is a no-body in the Hollywood Eye. Follow that guy around for a bit and I think you’d find the same mistakes if not more! As my dad always said - “it’s always an inside job” - I’m sure K-Fed pushed a few drugs Britneys way back in the day under the “If you cant beat em - bring em down” philosphy. As a PR person - I’d love to see Hollywood Spin That angle and get off Britney for awhile.

Virgie Arthur is a nasty woman with, apparently, no conscience. Sociopath or Narcissist, perhaps?

Virgie Arthur has no reason to talk. Look what she raised. She certainly is no authority to raise anyone. Spears needs help and FAST!! She doesn’t deserve to have her boys but then, Federline should be tested for drugs by the judge too. He may be a good Dad but who do you think got Spears started on the drug habit???

I’m praying for Britney Spears to get out of the spotlight for good—-and for Virgie Arthur to not capitalize on Britney Spears’ misery, too!
No wonder ANS despised her mom so much!
