Don�t get me wrong, we all trip a few times on our way to adulthood. I damn near fell of a cliff, but I am not supposed to be a role model for young girls worldwide.

OK, I usually donÂ?Â?t pay much attention to star gossip, but this time, I canÂ?Â?t look away. Seriously, Britney, you need to be committed.

The all-night partying, looking like a coke whore and flashing your girl parts at half the country wasn�t enough for me to address. With this new hairstyle, though, I��m all in.

��Sinead O��Rebellion! Shock me, shock me, shock me with that deviant behavior!� (Quote courtesy of the best mid-90s movie made, Empire Records.)

When I heard about your new aerodynamic look, I had just seen a picture of you out at a club in People magazine. You were looking haggard, tugging on the low neckline of your dress, smoking a cigarette, with your ass nearly hanging out.

Apparently, later in the evening you borrowed a bikini from a go-go dancer to wear. What were you thinking? A few hours later, you were playing mommy, getting on a plane with the kids.

Seriously, you are a disaster. You always look like you are so high you can barely stand. You are seconds away from a full psychotic break. When everyone thought that it couldnÂ?Â?t get any worse, you shaved your head!

If we didnÂ?Â?t know about all of the other psycho things youÂ?Â?ve done, you could just be expressing yourself in a different way. Unfortunately, Britney, you have been in the public eye for about 10 years now.

We have watched you grow up, failing repeatedly at life. DonÂ?Â?t get me wrong, we all trip a few times on our way to adulthood. I damn near fell of a cliff, but I am not supposed to be a role model for young girls worldwide.

Fame has its price. We all know this. Look at Marilyn, Liza, Kurt Cobain or a multitude of other famous people who fell apart. We, the gawking public, have watched as countless celebrities have flushed their lives down the toilet.

I have to say � despite the fact that I��m not a psychologist ��-- you don��t need rehab, you need therapy. I�m sorry, but I doubt that your drug use is the cause of the decline. I happen to believe it is a symptom. Mine was. Let me give you a little more information than you would like about me.

I have been clean for almost four years. I was doing so many drugs I didnÂ?Â?t notice I hadnÂ?Â?t paid rent in four months. Doing drugs wasnÂ?Â?t the problem; I was trying to use it as a solution.

I was so unhappy about my life and so unstable that I tried to numb it with anything I could get my hands on. I was manic depressive.

I did crazy things like cry for no reason or refuse to leave my house for days. At other times I would cut all my hair off, dye it crazy colors, go running, stay up for days unable to stop babbling. This was before the drugs.

I tried to even myself out with alcohol, cocaine and prescription pain-killers. I would go out to dance clubs, then hide in a corner all night. Sound familiar?

I get it Britney, I do. I got through it alone after failing at therapy and realizing that I was smarter than this. I canÂ?Â?t say that you are after you married that sleazy, wannabe-famous back-up dancer, but you have motivation.

Britney, you have two children who need you. No one should have to grow up with a mother who is constantly a different person, high as a kite and looks like shes been out all week. Pull it together; realize that you need a lot more than just drug and alcohol counseling. Realize that you do have something to live for.

I came back for my family and you should come back for yours.

Your babies need a mother.
