On Diana's inquest, Britney losing custody et al...

What a waste of taxpayers' money, to have tens of millions of pounds to be spent on the inquest of Diana's death, when study after study, investigation after investigation, that shows that she and her lover died in a tragic car accident. Ultimately (and morbidly) , for a great media manipulator like Diana, this is probably what she wants, which is to have media limelight for the rest of her life, dead or alive.

As to Britney Spears' losing custody of her children (2 year old and 1 year old), I feel sad for her. Afterall, if she has not loved the children, she would not have gone into fighting to win the custody to have her children be with her. K-Fed is a jerk, and I can't imagine how the children will grow up under a father like this. Unfortunately, she doesn't want her children bad enough to force herself to behave at least before the court decision is made on the custody. Now, everyone has the most valid reason to tell her in her face that she's a bad parent.

It's tough enough to be a working mother, and a single mother too, and to have to fight for your career. But look around, there are better examples. Angelina Jolie is one. At least on the surface, looking from a distance (from what we the audience or readers can see, as exposed by the media), she keeps her house in order. She doesn't need a man to bring up the children (unless the man is good enough for her children). And she does good for the world as well, given her charity work with UN and all. Naturally, it helps too that her career is on track.

Surely, every mother (and father, no doubt) faces challenges in childrearing. As a parent, we have to be strong and fair at all time, because that's what our children need from us and what they would look up too. I sincerely hope that Britney would grow up soon, for the sake of her children, rather than going down the path of Courtney Love.
