What In the World Is With the Spears Family?

Well, I am going to step away from the world of baseball and delve into entertainment.

Can someone explain to me in a simple fashion what the hell is going on the Spears family? You have a 16-year old girl pregnant, and yes, the train-wreck known as Britney. You can't escape the coverage of TV, the net and wherever else.

Is it the money, fame, lack of supervision, no perspective, or having it all too fast? Where are the parents in all of this? Are they being role models or chasing after the bucks and the bright lights of the big city.

I usually think all the celebrities are jokers and self-absorbed; however, is there someone who thinks enough of these people to get in the way to stop these girls from destroying their lives? Honestly, if things don't get better, Britney may end up as a statistic, whether it be from suicide or drug overdose.

I usually don't care for multi-millionaires whose stupid decisions get themselves into trouble, but I think the family Spears is in dire straits.
