First Robbie Williams, now Sinead - what's with all these has-been pop stars from the British Isles lining up to stick up for Britney Spears?
Sinead O'Connor told Oprah yesterday that she thinks it's "terrible what the media are doing to (Britney)." She went on to say that "it’s absolutely impossible to live a normal life being followed around, poor girl. We all mess up, don’t we, as moms. We never always get it right.”
Well, she's right about that - we all do mess up, as moms. I, for one, have been known to not fight hard enough to get fruit and veg into my Goldfish-addicted toddler, and to sometimes leave that diaper on a few minutes longer than is probably best. That said, I don't abuse drugs or alcohol and drive without a license, nor do I take my panties off and go partying like it's 1999 right after a custody judge has told me to lay off the partying and get some parenting coaching. So although we might not all always get it right, some of us, I think it's fair to say, seem to get it more dramatically wrong than others.
And what was Sinead O'Connor doing on Oprah, anyway?
