She just can’t seem to get out of the limelight, whatever she does, can she? With the start of the New Year, you would think that Britney Spears would have some resolutions that would reflect her statements late last year that she has gone a bit overboard and that she is trying to settle down a bit. Yet right at the start of 2007, she made the entertainment headlines once again.

Britney apparently fell asleep in a Las Vegas night club early Monday morning. She was there to lead the New Year countdown. In keeping with her status as a mother, though, Britney had her two children with her – Jayden James who is 3 months old and Sean Preston who is 1 year old. Around 1 in the morning, though, Britney felt really exhausted and fell asleep. That is according to her manager, Larry Rudolph.

That wasn’t what was released in the gossip columns the next day, however. In fact, speculation was rife that she was drunk and passed out. Britney’s party vehemently denies this rumor and insists that she was just physically tired and needed a snooze. She didn’t even seek medical attention, they say.

I say, give the girl a break. Maybe she did pass out. Then again, it was New Year’s Eve for goodness’ sake! She had the right – as much as anyone of us – to get a bit tipsy to celebrate the coming of the New Year, hadn’t she? If she did merely fall asleep, though, then maybe it’s time for her to take a break and get away from all the bad publicity that she has been getting for the past month. Mind you, I am not really a Britney fan. Just speaking my mind.
