Britney's Darkest Family Secrets: Depression, Suicide and Lost Babies

The most recent pile of skeletons to fall out of the Spears' family closet is so disturbing as to make one fervently wish that history doesn't repeat itself. Britney may be careening down the tracks of repeated trainwrecks, but it seems that her personal tragedies (struggling for custody of kids, fighting drug-use accusations, battling a declining career) haven't yet reached the depths of tragedy reached by Spears' of earlier generations.

According to an upcoming edition of Us Weekly (the same edition trumpeting the more salacious stories about Britney losing her virginity at age 14), Britney's grandmother Emma Jean Spears suffered from depression and committed suicide. She is said to have shot herself at her 3-day old daughter's grave after losing the infant when Jamie Britney's father) was just a child. Emma jean was just 31 years old, and had reportedly attempted suicide a few times before.

That's a terrible, terrible, terrible thing. More terrible when one considers that clinical depression can become a legacy in families, passed down between generations.

Makes one sorta want to reconsider that 'Prayers For Britney' thing that was too easy to make fun of the other day.

Shocking news - Britney Spears told Justin Timberlake to Gimme More, and he did! Us Magazine's new cover story on Spears, while covering some tragic aspects about the singer's life, claims to reveal some shocking news: that Spears' "virginal" image was a PR blitz, and that she and Timberlake were intimate from the beginning of their relationship. Uh...duh?

Are you kidding me? Did anyone actually believe Spears was as squeaky-clean as she (or her PR team) claimed back then, writhing around in the video for "Hit Me Baby One More Time" while wearing a Catholic school girl uniform that barely covered her ass? The article goes on to say that Spears lost her virginity at 14 to boyfriend Reg Jones, which, while none of our business, is also not surprising considering what we've learned about her upbringing.
