Britney Spears wants her conservatorship to end already! She met with the judge last week, and made a plea about how well she’s doing and how she wants to call the shots in her personal life, but sadly she got denied!!! How sad is that? Britney will go down in history as being one of the most successful celebrities to still be under control of her Dad. What’s going to happen when she gets married?? A source told Radar, “Britney’s team of doctors just don’t feel that she is ready for the conservatorship to end. They have specific concerns related to her mental health and aren’t ready to tell the judge that Britney is ready to go it alone just yet. Judge Goetz is the only person that can end the conservatorship.”
Honestly, I don’t know if Brit will ever heal at this rate, she seems to be more stable than before, but you never know–you leave her alone and she could possibly fly off the handles, y’all! If that day ever comes, I think they should chip her like a dog, or put a lojack up her butt…just to keep a close eye on her. Oh and when that happens…a word of advice? Hide yo’ nail polish and your Cheetos!!!
What Brit doesn’t know is all she has to do is sing this to the judge:

How depressing. That girl is never making a full recovery. That’s my opinion.
Name one “child star” who kept their shit together into adulthood. Cos the only one I can think of offhand is Neil Patrick Harris and even that’s debatable. (I mean, seriously, Starship Troopers?!? Talk about impaired judgment!)
I actually admire her Dad for stepping in. They could have Lindsey Lohaned or Miley’ed her and let her money call the shots. It’s not like she is any less sucessful or relevant. If anything it’s the reason she is still “Britney Bitch”
Do NOT MOCK “Starship Troopers”!
Ron Howard, his ugly younger brother Clint, Billy Mumy who gifted us with “Fish Heads”.
They did ok.
Oh I’m telling you…if you DARE mock “Starship Troopers” again you will…I will…I will
Well you know I won’t do anything really.
Yeah, Ron Howard, Jodie Foster, Brooke Shields come to mind. I think Blossom got a PhD in a real science, so that is pretty cool.
Sheesh you know about “Fish Heads” Rolly Polly Fish heads? I knew you were fricken cool.
Clare Danes and Natalie Portman also do well for themselves.
Brooke Shields…I’d be on the fence about her but she’s no Lohan or Miley. Such messes.
Gypsy..I used to listen to Dr. Demento.
My favorite was Kip Adotta’s “Wet Dream”.
My friend, Mo, and I would get schnockered and laugh our asses off.
Eat them up, yum!
Was this fish head’s song in a movie? Why do I know it?
@ classy..I was in an episode of “The Simpson’s”

NO, Britney. Now here’s a cherry Dum Dum. Go play.
@ sheesh — I secretly (well, not so secretly now) love Starship Troopers but you have to admit, it is pretty bad. And by pretty bad, I mean, “Damn, what horrible acting/effects/writing/, not to mention that the Robert A. Heinlein book is one of my favorites of all time and this movie bore absolutely no resemblance to it!”
@ crankyguy — Thank you for the list, it made me feel better about humanity. Not a lot better, but I’ll take what I can get.
@ Gypsy — I also knew about fish heads, can I be cool too? And I completely forgot Natalie Portman was a child star, which is stupid of me considering that we own both the regular and director’s cuts of Léon: The Professional.
Jean Reno…swoon!
“No women. No children.”
Which contains one of the creepiest pedo scenes with Natalie trying to seduce him. Best acting by Gary Oldham ever.
There are a ton of crazy women who have full custody of their children and lives, why can’t Britt be left alone? Daddy likes the gravy train I am sure.
Jay-Sus I am laughing my arse off at the Fish Heads! I used to send that to my friends at work (the video is incredible) and hear them howling from cibes away. Man I thought I was the only one, shouldda know better,
Makes you that much more incredible! ALL OF YOU ARE THAT MUCH MORE INCREDIBLE!
@Sheesh, thanks! That was going to eat me up trying to remember.
Is Miley that much of a hot mess? I mean… she’s no Lindsay! Sure, she has her leather boot and see through shirt sort of days, but at least she’s looking hot, making money, and hasn’t had to check in to the looney bin. And, it’s Miley!!
Most Disney chicks can’t keep it together and eventually fall apart.
I remember Dr. Dimento!!!
And yes, DON’T MOCK STARSHIP TROOPERS!!
“I need a corporal. You’re it, until you’re dead or I find someone better. “
I’ve seen Starship Troopers dozens of times and I don’t know why. Maybe the bad acting is just a cover for strong subliminal messages.
And I think Brit Brit would have blown through that money in a hurry if Dad hadn’t stepped in when he did. But, enough is enough. Free Britney!
Oh, and back to Starship Troopers. It was the future, dammit, why didn’t they have better weapons against those damn bugs!!
One more thing……I’m not cool, I admit it. I knew nothing about Fish Heads.
Did you know that Dean Norris from “Breaking Bad” was the commanding officer in “Starship Troopers”…true.
Hilary Duff is technically fine, albeit not very famous anymore…does that fall within the rules of this game?
@ lindaw205 — I’m not sure if it’s the strong subliminal messages or the fact that Caspar VanDiem is so gosh-durned pretty in that film. Also, it has a pretty great soundtrack, if memory serves. (Okay, so the only song I really remember being in it is “Song 2″ by Blur, but still.)
The first time I ever saw the fish heads video I was around 8 and it BLEW MY MIND! I had to post the video for everyone else to continue their walk down memory lane.
Oh Dr. demento!!! Some things are soooooooo much better when chemically enhanced. Yay Storm Troopers, too.
While there have been quite a few child stars that have fared well, too many found fame, fortune, and sycophants at an early age too much to handle. Can you imagine being a talented kid who all of a sudden is the prime breadwinner in the family and has nobody to set boundaries? Of course that begs the question of Britt-Britt’s dad being the one in charge now since he evidently wasn’t when it was important.
What a coincidence that the Joey Kovar articles are on the ‘Gasm right now.
@snowshoecat – what a great observation about her dad not being there when it was important! It is so sad about her – it really does seem like her mental health must be pretty shaky if she’s still not allowed to be on her own. I always think of the South Park episode they did about her after her meltdown – so sad yet so true.
Jerry O’Connell, Sarah Michelle Gellar (who started young with commercials), Leonardo DiCaprio, Candice Cameron (relatively to her brother Kirk), Seth Green and Alison Hannigon (who starred in a film together when they were young, and then were in Buffy together), Drew Barrymore (who had her rough period, but then got better), Jodie Foster, Malim Balick (the girl from Beaches, Blossom and now Big Bang Theory), etc.
I probably spelled all their names wrong, but there are tons of child actors who end up (relatively) normal and successful. The trainwrecks just make for better stories.
@ Kammie — I just watched that episode of South Park the other night! That show sure knows how to get to the meat of things.
@ Ash — Yay! So many stable adults who started as children in show biz. Going to imdb to find out what Seth Green and Alison Hannigan were in together before Buffy, because I loved those two together. And I love them individually.
@SuburBint — You mocked Starship Troopers. You’ve just lost MAJOR cool points!
I swear if you mock They Live or Remo Williams, you will be officially dead to me.
@SB (again) — Looks like it was “My Stepmother is an Alien”
@Jimbob and @SB: Thats the movie! There used to be a clip on youtube but I couldn’t find it.
@ Jimbob — Geez Louise, make one loving little snark against Starship Troopers and suddenly nobody wants to sit at my lunch table anymore! I’d take it back, except it’s all true. That movie is dreadful, but in spite of that I love every single second. Well, not so much when Dizzy dies. But I love the rest of it, from the very first propaganda film (I’m doing MY part!) to the end credits. Love it, I tell you!
@SB… Mmmmhmmm… I’m watching you!
Well,@ JB, SB bears watching. She can be a leetle bit shady ifyaknowwhatimeanandithinkyado.
Raven Symone and Kirsten Dunst are also in good shape.
I remember watching Starship troopers when I was 7 (I think) I loved it XD it’s been a long time since I’ve watched it but I read a cracked.com article that said its pretty much satire-I’ll have to rewatch it but I can totally see it (Even back then I knew it was “bad” acting haha)
Ash how many of those were Disney kids?
JT, The Gos and arguably Xtina are all doing ok, @labowner but I know where you’re going on this.
The Disney machine eats kids up and spits them out. I think, if your kid isn’t all that bright but has star qualities it’s easy for them to fall victim to this type of situation. Look at Kim Richards…but the flip side is look at Annette Founacello (sp?)
I also believe that a child needs a very good support team around them to protect them from being taken advantage of when they are child actors. Of course this is not fool proof as we all know but, I think it’s helps your chances when you go up agaist good old Walt & Co.
Who has seen the South Park episode about the Jonas Brothers?Nails the whole Disney exploitation thing (of both their stars and those stars’ fans) brilliantly.
O! Flash Forward used to air on the Disney Channel and that had Ben Foster and Jewel Staite. Also, the original Disney crew with Britney and Christina with the Mickey Mouse club, also included Keri Russel, Ryan Gosling, and Justin Timberlake. Shia Labouff seems like he may have a downward spiral soon, but he has found success at least.
And I thought of some more successful kids stars: Christina Ricci, Christian Bale, all the Harry Potter kids seem to be level-headed (of course they are British…those kids always seem better behaved), Kate Winslet, Thora Birch, Drake (who was of course wheelchair Jimmy in Degrassi), Joanna Garcia (Are You Afraid of the Dark and then went on to do Reba), Zac Efron (if he gets passed that wooden acting). I’ll stop now ahahaha
That one girl from Wonder Years. Can’t remember her name.
I’m so much help.
Anyway she grew up and got a degree in math? And wrote books about math?
…..never mind I’m questioning her sanity now.
Danica McKellar. Googled it. Probably still misspelled it.
Winny Cooper’s character? Yea, she’s a math genius I believe.
Ben Affleck was on the Voyage of the Mimi for you PBS fans.
Alanis Morisette from Nickelodean’s You Can’t Do That In Television Days
Shoud I bust out Scott Wolf and Stacey “Fergie” Ferguson of Kids Incorporated???
Shirley Temple Black!
Christian Bale the one with the anger issues?
Not sure what we are calling successes – do they have to transform into adult stars? If so we have years to wait this out and see what happens. Going into obscurity is what usually happens to child stars – they fade away. Comparing to the tons that haven’t made it or are dead – this is a very small percentage you are tossing out there.
Christina just took a tumble through nutty ville herself. Haven’t heard a peep from her since.
Rebecca Schaeffer from My Sister Sam who was killed by a crazy fan never got a chance.
What? No Olsen Twins mentioned?
Well, if Bale isn’t in jail or rehab, I considered it a success and he regularly works and earns Oscar nominations on a regular basis. Christina Ricci is fairly successful, just isn’t that mainstream anymore. Lets face it, she probably earns more money than most yearly just by doing one film. And I was just thinking of success stories in Hollywood. Just because they faded away or didn’t make it doesn’t mean that they aren’t successful in their own lives. Some actually have real jobs that they are successful at like Chunk from Goonies (I can’t remember the profession, but its searchable).
@Ash — he’s an entertainment lawyer. I’ve been ripping my DVDs lately, watched the movie again, and wondered what happened to him. I seriously looked it up like 3-4 days ago. Crazy timing.
@SuburBint – I just saw that one the other day, too! Those SP guys are brilliant sometimes – I’m in awe that they put a show together in a week!
Amanda Bynes, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Kaley Cuoco, Mila Kunis, amd Tia and Tamera Mowry.
@sagittariuskim
Amanda Bynes is on a downward spiral right now.
I will give you thye rest although we all know that K Stew is a big ol’ homewrecking slore.
Oh, I forgot about Melissa Joan Hart.
Actually I only care about what ever happened to C. Thomas Howell. Oh the crush I had on that boy. No mention of almost the whole cast of Outsiders? You folks are slacking on a Friday.
Any others besides Olsen twins that have literally started out as babies?
@labowner He was the finale unsub for season 5 of Criminal Minds. And he was randomly in The Amazing Spider Man.
C. Thomas Howell was also in “Alphas” this year.
C Thomas Howell also has a recurring role on Southland.
My crush was always Phoebe Cates (who turned out OK for a child actress). Granted, now she’s nearly 50 (which makes me feel REALLY old), and married to Father Time, but still…

Anna Paquin is the second youngest person to win an Oscar (at 11 for “The Piano”), and now she’s starring on “True Blood,” happily married, and either has or is about to have twins, and has never had any legal run-ins, rehab stints, or trashy tabloid scandals. Evan Rachel Wood has questionable taste in men, but is otherwise doing well. Jodie Foster is probably the Hope Diamond of child stars who became even more successful than adult stars, which is even more of an accomplishment considering everything that happened to her after “Taxi Driver.”
