The trials and tribulations of drug abuse play out in operatic detail in our everyday lives. Where would we be without images of beautiful people losing their minds for all the world to see?
The fallen pop tart had to be wheeled out of her Beverly Hills mansion by paramedics and taken to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre by ambulance on a "medical hold" after police found her under the influence of an "unknown substance".
An "unknown substance"? Perhaps "hubris", perhaps "pathos", or perhaps "tragic irony"? Or maybe it was that new designer drug, "public self-destruction". Britney Spears is under the influence alright; the more she falls down, the more we want to watch.
