BRITNEY ENDS GERMAN CONCERT IN TEARS

Relatives of troubled pop beauty Britney Spears are seriously worried about her mental health -- after she rushed off stage in Berlin, Germany, in tears.

The superstar, 22, has been struggling to cope with her huge workload as she continues her Onyx Hotel tour in Europe, and sources close to Britney fear the situation is only going to get worse.

Britney is reportedly desperate to return home to her mother Lynne after suffering the worst reviews of her career for the raunchy stage show. But with contractual obligations preventing her from ditching the tour, miserable Britney is getting more and more depressed.

And the depth of her anguish was clearly demonstrated when she ran off the stage in the German capital and fled to a waiting car, before ignoring fans as she ran into her hotel.



I have little idea of what Britney even sounds like beyond the Pepsi commercials. One major reason I avoided her was philosophical: The way she went directly from child start to manufactured raunch queen is a sign of a pretty disgusting national Lolita complex. But her situation is beginning to get a little sympathy from me.

She's a child. I'm sorry but with folks living with their parents until they're some 35 years old, she's more of a child than Annette Funachello was after the first Mickey Mouse Show run. It's hard to walk around wearing a "Fuck Me" sign to make money. And I strongly suspect it wasn't her idea.
