Website Posting gets Fears for
Britney Spears
'Pakistan Times' Monitoring Desk
NEW YORK (US): An e-mail
from
Britney Spears' former assistant Felicia Culotta saying the 25-year-old pop
star needs to get her act together because she's headed for "rock bottom"
has been posted on a Web site's gossip blog.
"I cherish ALL the incredible opportunities that came my way thru my job
with Britney and am crushed/saddened/heart sick by the way her life is
unfolding," says the e-mail, posted this week on ThatOtherBlog, a gossip
blog on the Hollywood.com Web site.
The e-mail, addressed to "Ruben," was sent in response to an editorial "Why
Britney Is Asking for It," according to the blog.
"I want you to know Ruben that WE (as in her Family and nearest and dearest
— ALL of whom are not on the payroll anymore!!) are doing EVERYTHING in our
power to get help for Britney," writes Culotta, who says she worked for
Spears for nearly 10 years.
Since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November, Spears has drawn
criticism for her drinking, partying and sloppy appearance.
"Ruben," who runs ThatOtherBlog said on Saturday that Culotta is a good
friend and that he is declining media requests to interview her. In her
e-mail, Culotta said she is working as a corporate flight attendant and
living in Mississippi.
Gina Orr, Spears' publicist at Jive Records, couldn't be reached at her
office Friday and didn't immediately respond to an e-mail from the AP asking
for comment.
"There's just so much you can do to help a person — I don't dare want to be
an enabler, and I cannot love her enough for the both of us," Culotta says.
"I cannot convince her in ANY way to love herself. ... I cannot save her
from herself, nor can I commit her to any type of treatment program against
her wishes and will."
Culotta says Spears' friends are doing "all in our power to NOT pad the
bottom or move the bottom, so when she does indeed hit rock bottom, she'll
stand up and walk away from this whole fiasco a new, confident, changed,
career driven Britney like we all knew and loved."”●
