In order to continue my record breaking drive to shatter the consecutive reporting days of Tatum O'Neal and wrest the honor away from the French who currently hold it, I thought I was going to have to do an open letter or some other kind of crap like that because Tatum has pretty much run her course as a newsworthy item for this week. Oh sure, when she checks into rehab or shows up in court or is turning tricks for crack then she will be newsworthy again, but until then, I didn't think there was much. And then, I found it.
See, Tatum is the kind of person who doesn't know that one who is an addict should not offer public advice to another addict or troubled person or whatever the hell Britney Spears was back in October.
Instead, Tatum went out and called ET and said let's do an interview. Tatum then proceeded to tell the world about how her life was perfect now and that she wished Britney well and that soon Britney could be as good as Tatum and doing as well as Tatum. This is of course the same Tatum who lost custody of her kids in 1995 and never managed to regain it giving advice to Britney about how to regain custody.
Apparently Britney did a better job than Tatum because last I checked Britney never got busted for crack and coke. Sure, she is a little off her rocker and has to have supervised visitation with her kids, but hey, no time spent in jail. Even if Tatum was completely sober back in October and I have no reason to doubt she wasn't, an addict should never say they are doing fine and that everything is great and act like they are the fountain of knowledge of addiction because, bam, next thing you know you are walking the park looking for drugs with a pipe and a screen.

Re: last paragraph
Actually part of Step 12 of a 12-step program is to reach out & help the still suffering alcoholic/addict. Not for publicity of course. It should be done out of gratitude but it can help you stay sober.
an addict should not offer public advice to another addict or troubled person or whatever the hell Britney Spears was back in October.
Isn't this what Mel is doing for Brit?
there's also the fact that while britney may use when she's manic, her basic issue is bipolar disorder.
sobriety on it's own is not enough for someone with that kind of mental illness. sometimes we (as a culture) can be so single-minded about issues of addiction that we don't see the underlying disease that's driving self-medication. so, britney ends up in and out of rehab instead of in the care of psychiatrists who are trained to deal with mental health issues.
i hear what dreadpiratecuervo is saying, but it would be more useful to everyone if people like tatum try to reach out one-on-one and not through the media. seems just a wee bit self-serving to have done it on et. just a bit.
ITA, bippy.
I'm pretty grossed out by Tatum's behavior. I never thought I'd see the day when my sympathies were with Britney Spears over Tatum O'Neal.
Brit's got her Dad in her corner. Tatum has who?
It is a piece of brillo, not a screen in this case!!!
