"I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything."
– Britney Spears commenting on Kevin Federline marriage in new documentary, Britney: For The Record









What a stupid thing to say when you have kids who will someday read that quote and wonder WTF is wrong with my mother – like she doesn’t have enough dirt out there for them to read about. Dumb girl…
Has everyone forgotten what the word Commitment means!!!!!!! I mean My lands,where are the values!!!!!!! or lets just keep tabs on who comes up with some new excuse to divorce and remarry over and over! talk about who’s bed have your boots been under!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its sad because so many ppl marry for that exact reason. that is probably why the divorce rate is so high. it’s good that she admitted her mistake and hopefully she learned from it.
Personally, I think she would had better chances of her first marriage working out. Think about it logically, here was a guy she knew before all the fame and money that was already her friend. We know friendship was a good basis for a marriage. Then here comes this “bad-boy” back up dancer right after her mother MADE HER ANNULL the first marriage. This bad-boy was leaving a pregnant woman (pregnant with his second child, no less) for her. Who was using who?! Anyway, at least he has stepped up to the plate with her boys and the past is the past now. I feel bad for her. Having the fame and kind of money she has, how can she tell the real friends from those who just want to use her? She should always keep her family close for that reason.
A LOT of people make the same mistake (myself included).
Me too! I’ll always be wondering, what if…
I feel bad for her. What was so strange is everybody knew her marriage wasn’t gonna work. I am just glad that she is starting to realize the bad choices she made the past few years. At the end of the day, I think she learned from it all. It looks like she had to hit rock bottom to go back up and I am really happy for her. I think that is the reason why a lot of people support her comeback cause we can actually SEE she is making an effort and she wants to become a better person.
Lets all feel bad for the poor little millionaire, poor Brtiney Spears, all that money and can’t seem to find anything to do with herself….awwww
I agree with the above that a lot of people tend to do that mistake. I’m currently reading Tori Spelling’s “Stori Telling” and she also said she married (the first time) for the wrong reasons. She wanted that fairy tale wedding and to be taken care of by a man. She didn’t realize at the time that even though her first husband was a very sweet man, he just wasn’t right for her. There were warning signs before the wedding, but she brushed them off thinking it will change and it didn’t matter. It happens to a lot of people, actually.
Poor Tori, I guess since she made a huge mistake it was ok for her to turn around and cheat on her husband with another woman’s husband. Yes, Tori deserves our sympathy.
The fact that she grew up in a small town in the deep south, probably played a part. Those seeds are planted very early. All you ever see while growing up are 18yr olds getting married and playing house. It’s just how it’s done. I’m a southern girl and I don’t have a single friend who wasn’t married & knocked up by 20.
I guess that’s why the south is the cestpool of the United States…..
Well…I would imagine that he didn’t marry for the right reasons either $$$.
I do feel bad for her. Money doesn’t buy happiness and I think that’s all she’s really looking for.
To NEW- So according to you we should all celebrate her failure cause she is a millionaire???? Well hate to break it to you but money doesn’t buy happiness. Even if I am not big fan of her music, I support her as a woman, as a human being and wish her success.
I always find that people who say “money doesn’t buy happiness” say that because they don’t have any money. Is not the money that’s the problem, is the people who have the money. Britney is an un-educated hick from the south, and she still is the same un-educated hick from the south. Is not the money folks, a miserable poor person will still be a miserable person, only difference is they will be miserable and rich.
people who say ‘money don’t buy happiness’ are just people with common sense. money doesn’t make you happy, all it does is feel your emptiness with a bunch of materialistic crap. rich people are probably the most miserable on the planet. you admitted yourself is has nothing to do with money and thats basically what the saying means. so, basically, she isn’t allowed sympathy because she has a load of cash? we should all rejoice whenever she hits rock bottom or make a bunch of stupid mistakes because she is sooooooooo rich? that is the dumbest thing i ever heard.
I don’t think the commentor above was saying we should rejoice. I think he/she meant money is not the cause of un-happiness. You need to understand what you are reading before calling other’s comments dumb. Is called reading comprehension, look into it.
All of us from the South aren’t “dumb hicks”. I – along with several of my friends – attended some of the wonderful colleges down here and obtained doctorates……
im from the south and getting married young is basically wat everybody does..and then they have kids and thats it……but i still think brit needs 2 chill 4 a while..i think she have a relapse at any time
I can tell you’re from the south; the spelling and your grammar says alot. Maybe, if you southern gals would get off your backs, close your legs and pick up a book now and then……
At least she realizes her mistake. Good for her for being self aware….it’s a step in the right direction, and hopefully she won’t make the same mistake twice.
Newsflash genious, she did make the same mistake TWICE. She married her high school buddy in Vegas, then she marries Kevin while he leaves his pregnant girlfriend. She gets pregnant not once, but twice(second pregnancy by accident). This woman is nothing but a walking mistake. BTW, her second marriage to Kevin will not be her last, she will marry again and divorce.
Oops, well I guess she did.
that’s mean but funny
I currently live in the South but grew up in the north. I don’t think it has anything to do with North versus South but more of a small town thing. The people on here calling the South backwoods and the cesspool of the United States need to get out and travel a little. There are great about both parts of the country and bad things about both also.

I’m really getting insulted by these comments about the South. Have you even takent the time to come here? Do you realize how many great authors and thinkers came from here? True, we are very poor, but not everyone is someone from Deliverance. What if we thought everyone from the North was like Married with Children or Rosanne? I attended college for six years and completed a residency THEN worked for five years before marrying my husband – at age 29. We don’t all rush out and get married at a young age. True, a lot of women with no hope for an education see getting married as a way of getting out of their parents’ home, but to stereotype us, well, that would be like me saying all women from up North are all a bunch of beer drinking obese women like Rosanne.
Hahah, that comment about the Southern gals was funny!
That’s cesspool – if you’re going to insult us, please spell the words correctly.
