I’m a military brat, and I don’t regret a minute of it. I do however agree with you. While I love the fact that I had the opportunity to see the world and enjoyed every minute of it, I regret not having the experience of having a best friend to grow up with. I have to say tho, if I were given the choice, I’d do it all the same way.

I’ve always been a fan of Rosie, loved the show she had before “the view”, Barbara Walters is doing her damndest to set women back about 30 years. There’s not a woman or man alive that believes that many women working together can be “best friends”, and for her to try and shove that down our throats is ridiculous. I’ll concede that B. Walters was a great woman in her time…but she hasn’t grown…she remains stuck in the past and living on her “laurels”.

i agree with Belinda to a certain extent, I don’t believe we should put celebrities through that, but I also believe that it is ridiculous of them to think that we won’t. Humans are a malevolent lot, we want to bring the celebrities “down” to our level and the only way to do that is to revel in their misery. I personally feel sorry for the likes of Brittany Spears and Madonna, but in truth, I also believe that in a sick, twisted way they use their woes as a way to stay in the public eye. As the saying goes…”bad publicity is better than no publicity”
