Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has been compared to the late Princess Diana by none other than Rosie O'Donnell. The former 'The View' co-host, 45, said that being a paparazzi magnet could see the 26-year-old singer meet the same tragic end as the former royal.
"There are only inches of separation between vulnerability and disaster," observes O'Donnell.
In a post on her blog, Rosie writes: "I'm scared," she [Britney] told them yesterday, when they later mobbed her at court. "Move back," she said. "I'm scared. Stop it. Stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please."
Referring to the pop wreck's quick visit to a church on Monday, O'Donnell writes: "She will be trying to get away, but they will chase her, just as they chased her into that church yesterday Even her last-minute, folded-hand prayers can't be kept sacred."
Painting a sympathetic portrait of Spears, O'Donnell says: "At eight years old, she bravely stood before a microphone. By 17, she had sold 25 million records."
With Spears having been robbed of a "normal" childhood, O'Donnell asks on her behalf, "Where were the sidewalk-skinned knees, the chalk-stained hands, the monkey bars, the passed notes? A Disney set is not a childhood, no matter how many bright colors they use, or how cheerful the script."
