Shalimar Bennington: October 2008

Dear Britney,

I’m writing this letter because I feel the need to give you something that you can take inspiration from, since you’ve given me so much over the time that I’ve been your fan. I’ll always be there to support you as an artist, but beyond that, you have my support in every facet of life – as a performer, a mother, and most importantly, a person. This is my attempt at showing you how much I appreciate everything you’ve given me, and how your qualities, both positive and negative, have inspired me in all walks of life.

I’ve been through my share of problems over the last few years. I’ve struggled coming to terms with my sexuality, and with that, struggled to find the self-esteem and confidence I need to be the best person I can be. I always feel like people are judging me, ready to pounce on every mistake I make and kick me when I’m down, just because they can. In that sense, I look at my life in many ways as a microcosm of yours. Only yours is on a global scale for the world to see, which makes it all that much harder and challenging to overcome. And yet somehow, some way, you’ve garnered the strength and courage to pick yourself back up over and over again, despite every obstacle and every person that tried their very best to bury you. To me, that’s what defines a role model.

What I love most about you, and what I feel separates you from most other celebrities, is that you’re real. You’re completely genuine. You’re not painted to be this picture of perfection with no emotions and problems like us “normal” people. While it’s unfortunate on some level that your life has become a media circus and an open book for the world to read, it’s also opened my eyes to what a special person you are, and given me hope that I too can overcome whatever obstacles life throws at me, no matter how insurmountable they may seem. I truly believe that’s one of the reasons your life has been broadcasted in the manner it has – not just as a means of gracing us with your talent as an artist, but giving us all hope that we can achieve anything despite whatever negative forces surround us.

When I see you, I see a beautiful, talented woman who shares the same kind of struggles we all do. I see a woman who loves her kids, and despite the ups and downs, always stays loyal to her family and true friends. Your smile is infectious, your laugh is contagious, and your tears make my heart ache. That’s part of the beauty of being your fan. There’s a connection that I feel to you, a connection that I know many other people feel as well because of the fact that we’ve in many ways watched you grow up in front of our eyes, and feel like we’ve been through the good and the bad right there beside you. I truly believe that there’s no greater fan base in the world than the legion of people who consider themselves your fan. We’re the people that have stuck by you through everything and have only fallen in love with you more because of it.

Next time you read a negative article, or listen to some jackass critic spew hatred and negativity, I want you to think of this letter and think of all the people who you’ve inspired and who love you. The happiness you’ve brought to me and so many others through your music and your life has been invaluable in every way. You, Britney Spears, are a big reason why I’ll always believe in the greater good and I’ll always believe that I can achieve anything if I fight hard enough for it. That alone is worth infinitely more than any negative aspect of your celebrity, because through it you’ve made a difference in millions of people’s lives and that’s more than almost anyone in the world can say they’ve done.

P.S. I can’t wait for Circus, and if you go on tour I’ll be the guy in the front row screaming your name louder than anyone in the stadium.

With love, one of your many biggest fans

Dave

Yeap Dave. This beautiful letter here is not written by me but Dave, one of britney's biggest fan. I'm with you man! I'm touched.

I'm featuring it here to share it with you guys and for the world to see.

Finally!!! God knows how many times I've tried to view her page but the same disappointing notice kept on showing that her new website is still otw and bla.. Until the last two weeks (not sure exactly on which day) was suprised that is it soo there! It's way much better then d previous one. You really have to check it out (ones who support her though =p)

These days she's busy with her dance rehearsals and she's back in the studio too. Her new album called 'Circus' is in the "making". So yea.. Can't wait..

Britney hit the studio this week to record some radio promos for Circus and a bunch of other upcoming projects. She sent us these cool pics from the studio to share with you.

Friday night Britney had dance rehearsal to work on a new routine. Britney, her choreographer Andre, and her dance crew had a blast playing around with some new moves.

If you look closely, you'll see that Britney is indeed holding a whip! Looks like her new music video might be even hotter than "Womanizer!"

About myself, nothing much to tell. Been bz with work and assignments..
