A group of Britney Spears' 'friends' have told reporters fans shouldn't by the popstress' new album 'Blackout' on the basis they shouldn't support her record label who, they say, are profiting from Spears' celebrity but doing nothing to help her overcome her recent loopiness. Or something like that.
An 'associate' told E! Entertainment: "They [SonyBMG's Jive] can see she's in pain, and they don't care. We've all hung out with Britney a lot. We've seen her at her best and at her worst. And we aren't doing this to be mean. We're doing this out of concern, for herself and for her boys. They need a mother figure and right now, they don't have that".
The group of friends have even set up a MySpace page for their campaign under the banner 'Save the popstar save the world'.
