BRITNEY WAS DRUNK AT 13, ON DRUGS AT 14

William Spears, the uncle of Britney Spears, tells the Sun UK today that Britney's current mental state has been in the works for a long time, claiming her childhood was marked by depression, drugs and alcohol.  The Sun says:

He says Brit, 26, started DRINKING when she was a 13-year-old Mickey Mouse Club presenter and dabbled with DRUGS from the age of 14.After her turbulent early years, Willie says she went wild on turning 18, snorting cocaine on her birthday, adding: “She has tried just about everything – cocaine, crystal meth, ecstasy.”

The Sun also reminds us that Britney's grandmother, who gave birth to Britney's dad at age 18, committed suicide when she was 31.  So, pretty much, the whole family is nuts and Britney is doomed unless she gets help, which she refuses to do.  Instead of picturing Britney’s career, picture someone wrapped up in a sleeping bag with only their head sticking out and trying to bunny hop up a hill, but then slipping and just tumbling down toward a cliff and the ocean below.  It's basically the same thing.
